The beasts from the East.
East has higher highs, but lows are so bad it’s unbearable.
West is more safe but consistent.
It’s the cold heart truth but you are still a weeb.Western media is currently in a Dark Age. Eastern media is currently in a Golden Age. I’m not even a weeb, it’s just the stone cold truth.
I think Valve not making games anymore is the best thing for us.Valve are the only company that can save us.
FTFYWestern media is currently in a Dark Age. Nintendo is currently in a Golden Age. I’m a weeb.
Yup, for every Tears of the Kingdom or Elden Ring or Yakuza, we get trashy ass CAG or RPG's that are doing the exact same things they did 20+ years ago in the PS2.
Yes because the West doesn't make yearly disposable garbage games either on par with gaming junk food.
You want me to list of all the yearly rehash sports games? Sure there's more gacha garbage but Baldur's Gate 3 alone isn't gonna be enough to tip the scales against Eastern games right now. Not even close.
Should one list out the thousands of crap gacha games from the eastern market to try and prove a point as well? It's a dumb comparison and you should feel silly.

We've been discussing and citing multiple games from the west this whole time... i have never seen anything like System Shock, Cyberpunk 2077 or Ctrl Alt Ego coming out of an eastern developerYou want me to list of all the yearly rehash sports games?

If all you get from Nier Automata is sexy 2b and not a life lesson then Yoko Taro needs to be more overt in his games.West is an abobination of gaming. Rather then presenting a compelling stuff and entertaiment to their audince, they rather focus on delivering messages and being politically correct, to the point of damaging storic events and things people care about. All for the sake of a few person that don't give a fuck about about games.
East is based. It gives exactly what the player wants. No bullshit, no moral crap and no life lessons.
Helldivers 2 carried Q1 2024 for the mainstream Western biz.Now I'm interested to see how this will change by the time 2024 comes to a close, as the first quarter of the year looks to be lacking big Western releases compared to Japanese ones.
Despite what you think, 2 of the top 5 Visual novels in VN database are not from japan (Katawa Shoujo & Doki Doki Literature Club). Similarly on Steam, many of the best user-rated VNs are also non-eastern (VA-11 Hall A, Bag of Milk series, DDLC again, etc). So there's clearly a lot of love and respect for said attempts.
Aside from VNs, you'll also see games like Crosscode, Neon White, Stardew Valley, Long Live the Queen, Momodora, A hat in time, Undertale, etc. All greatly reviewed and respected games that drawn inspiration from classic JP games or aesthetics. Crosscode in particular is considered by many one of the best JRPG ever made despite not even being japanese.
Japan only on the East.
Korea and China are unproven.
Have you even played the games i mentioned tho. And they're still niche genres, they're not popular the same way COD or GTA are, they're popular among enthusiasts of specific types of games.Okay, but I don't think they are as good, if something being popular was enough to agree it was good then the west would win just based on cod and GTA.
Duh, we're speaking of traditional JP genres. All i'm saying is you'll find plenty of these great attempts amongst western devs, yet you'll have trouble finding even one eastern FPS.Sure, again, I think for every strong attempt by the west there are 3 more games I like more from Japan
Yup, one of the 4 games made in the West that I bought this year lol.Helldivers 2 carried Q1 2024 for the mainstream Western biz.
Not a fanLies of P bro
Yes I played each one, most of them on the day of release, and atleast 3 I played over a year before release.Have you even played the games i mentioned tho. And they're still niche genres, they're not popular the same way COD or GTA are, they're popular among enthusiasts of specific types of games.

Again, i'm not talking about your specific taste. Even if you don't like FPSs, plenty of people do. Similarly, even if you don't like Katawa Shoujo and VA-11 Hall A, these games are respected even among JP audiences.Yes and like I said, That is almost a point in japans favor, I am not a big fps fan I think the genres that Japan has been making more games in are more compelling.
Like Pesident Evil and Metroid went first person and I really wish they didn't.
The end result is that Japan is jut making far more great games
stella blade broNot a fan
