Japanese games > Western games tbh

[Devsman]

Better tone: Everything in Western games is gloom n doom. Japanese games have a variety of tones.

Color: Everything in Western games is gray and brown.

Music: Japanese games actually have music with melodies. Western games have crappy film score wannabe tracks, or just silence. Maybe a main theme if you're lucky.

Contol: In Western games, your dude just abruptly stops when the hill becomes too steep. As one example.

Stage Design: In Western games, they just make a (might as well be) procedurally generated world and vomit bad guys everywhere or else literally just make them show up randomly.

Depth, not just breadth: Oh look Elder Fallout Theft Creed 28 has an overworld that's TWO HUNDRED MILLION TIMES THE SIZE OF THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE and you can even go in one of the buildings!

Actual genres: Western games have strategy, ARPG and sim. Japanese games have strategy, ARPG, not-A RPG, platformer, (not-sim) racer, action-adventure, fighter, beatemup, minigame collection/party game, fun quirky titles, and oh yeah A WHOLE BROAD CATEGORY THAT TRANSCENDS GENRE CALLED 2D.

Actual art styles: Western games just try and fail to look photorealistic

Actual game design: Actually designed as a game and not a simulator of boring-ass reality. Waa waa turn based combat isn't realist--WGAF REALITY IS LAME

Still asleep: Or whatever the opposite of woke is

Fun: Real life sucks, so fun is by definition not immersive, so Western games would never dare attempt it.

Creative: There was a Kirby game where you literally play as yarn, lol. In every Western game you're a space marine with stubble hair or literally Gandalf without a robe. Or else they just don't even bother designing a character and give you a mandatory character creator so you can make something invariably horrifyingly hideous instead.

And this is the part where I put my fingers in my ears and go "la la la can't hear you"

I agree with a few exceptions.
I love TES games, expecially Oblivion and Skyrim, japanese have never been able to do something like that pushing all the right buttons at once like Bethesda has done.
RPG games in general are more interesting iin the west.
Other than that there are many great games from Japan, I usually prefer them in most cases with some exceptions, RPGs is for sure the most relevant exception.

Nah, some western games are awful and some japanese games are awful. It all depends.

The West is basically anywhere in the world that isn't North America, most of Europe or Australia for some reason

games are games who cares where they are made. If you enjoy the game does it matter where its from? stop with the segregation already... comical.

Also Japan is a pretty 'western' country. Believe in freedom, democracy, free/open trade, elected officials, The U.S. and japan share all kinds of information and we are locked into helping and protecting each other out of our best interests.

stop with the.. this culture > this culture.

cringe post OP. very cringe.

[Ibadgrammar]

i like japan game no political agenda

[AdahnGorion]

I find most Japanese games to be much too simplistic.
It is just a matter of subjective bias ofc.. nothing is better than the other.

There is great music in both western and eastern games..
I think it all has more to do with genres, rather than the origin of the games creation.

[The Commendatore]

Nah.
