Why are Japanese games so shit these days? They're mostly goonbait with terrible gameplay and corny storyline.
>B-but they're better than American games
That's a very low bar

>These days.

Japanese games were always shit and relied on stealing ideas from Western media. The only genres they were ever good at were platformers, fighting games, porn games, VNs, survival horrors and action games. Don't throw "JRPGs" my way - they are basically VNs filled with mindless grinding.

Survival horrors have been dominated by Europe in the last 15 years. If not for Kojima actions games would've been dead in the water for the last 10+ years.

So you have a very small handful of genres where Japanese still are any good at, while they've been always hilariously bad at:
>real time strategies,
>turn based strategies
>4X games,
>management games,
>simulators
>first person shooters,
>puzzle games,
>role playing games,
>racing games,
>sport games,
>survival games,
>MMOs,
>tactical games,
>stealth games,

And so on, and so forth.

Oh we say goon instead of coom now? Got it, let me do a system terminology update.

Grim.

>>713236215
yes and "rizz" instead of swag

Cuz they already peaked and so new ones are just repeating what old ones did.

>>713236287
I think rizz is out of date too, actually

>>713236272
Fuck Japan. Only relevant due to porn.

>>713235994
You forgot shmups which eventually evolved into bullet hells

Although for genres that japan don't do well arcade sports games for a while was America's shtick.

Plus how can you say japan is bad at puzzle games when most mobile games like candy crush rip off puzzle bobble.

Not to mention arknaoid

>They're mostly goonbait with terrible gameplay and corny storyline.
Like SubaHibi? The gameplay is literally nonexistent because it's a VN and the storyline is gay and retarded. That game only got famous for its shock value because it has scenes like the male MC being forced to suck cocks, father-daughter incest or dog rape.

>>713235071
But Kimika and Zakuro ended happily in one of the alternative endings
Kimika endings, best endings

>>713234179 (OP)
Subahibi was always complete shit. It literally has gay sex in it for the LGBT crowd

>>713236727
reread the vn but slowly

>>713236784
I dropped SubaHibi after getting this ending because screw the alternative and screw this VN in general. This ending was one of the few good things about it.

>>713237082
No thanks, I'd rather not read any more descriptions of guys sucking cocks or girls getting bullied.

filtered lol

Idk but that VN is super popular with transexuals at an abnormally high rate. A lot of VNs are when you think about it

>>713234179 (OP)
Is this the SubaHibi thread? I read it recently and want to talk about it.
>>713234716
Reasonable, but consider: What about a Satoko or Megu gf?

>>713234179 (OP)
>They're mostly goonbait
Why do Westerners these days always freak out and throw a tantrum when a game has an attractive character? Do you have some sort of childhood trauma that causes you to have panic attacks the moment your dick stands up?

>>713237496
>when a game has an attractive character?
There's a different been goonbait and attractive characters.

>>713237652
I find it hilarious when someone complains about "goonbait" while posting a screenshot from a VN with a dozen different fetish porn scenes.

>>713237403
>Satoko or Megu gf?
never ever

>>713237403
>Is this the SubaHibi thread?
It is now, did you get all the endings?

Japan used to make great games like Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, BoTW, Xenoblade 2, MHW, RE7, FE3H, RE4R, Ryza 1-3, SF6, Mario wonder, pikmin 4, Elden ring, Unicorn overlord, Like a dragon 7, Asstro bot, metaphor since 2017-2024, but how can they fall so soon this year and get mogged by Chinese black ships like genshin, starrail, ZZZ, WuWa, Wukong, Lost soul aside, Phantom blade zero,
Korean black ship Like Khazan and Lies of P, and French black ship like expedition 33 and Asscreed shadow? Why did Japanese game which was glorious in 2024 tremble so easily?
No Japanese game this year got metascore over 90. Wilds, Yumia, Nightreign,Mario kart world shows Japanese game's absolute fall this year.
While Western game was suffering this last year. But it became opposite this year, man.
And switch 2 was nail on coffin due to fuckin' greed, wahoo!
What is left in Japan now?
Anime? Solo leveling was AOTS last year, and China makes them better, to be hero X and nezha.
Comics? Korean makes them better.
Entertainment? Korea makes them better.
Car? Electricity? Korea and China makes them better.
Subculture? BA has 2000 comicket booth.
Toy? Korean combination robot toy and Tinyping are superior.
Japan is NOTHING!!

>>713238016
Yes.
Tomosane is the luckiest nigga of all time.
How do I induce this kind of mental illness in myself?

>>713237403
One man show

>>713234179 (OP)
Because the talent is getting old and ESG infected the place for a while

>>713237972
>he doesn't like an alpha bitch
I agree with Kimika though, they got off too lightly. Throw in a proper degrading h-scene at least.

>>713240495
To blame ESG, SF6 is national game in Japan. And Japanese game was great in 2024 while West suffered this time. But why did Japanese game die while Western game resurrects with expedition 33, kingdom come 2, doom dark age, oblivion remaster in 2025? No Japanese game have metascore over 90 in 2025. Even switch 2 couldn't save Japanese game and it was nail on coffin due to frickin price and key card!!

>>713234179 (OP)
In general i think literarily skills have declined in the last thirty years. My fear is the writing is bad because new talented writers are nonexistent.

>>713237403
>What about a Satoko or Megu gf?
Kino, they lets you have threesomes and rape girls

>>713236784
>Kimika endings, best endings
True, I cried with this one.

>>713237403
>What about a Satoko or Megu gf?
Being around the mentally ill puts me on edge so no.

>>713237403
>Satoko and Megu
Finally, women WORTH beating to a pulp

>>713240495
A Japanese person actually understanding ESG would be akin to a Westerner replicating authentic otaku storytelling. Its not impossible but it would take over a decade of thorough cultural immersion

>>713237403
>Satoko and Megu

>>713242307
But Satoko and Megu are among the least mentally ill SubaHibi characters.

>>713244574
>the least mentally ill SubaHibi characters
>coercing two people into porn and take ecstasy
>Assist in a kidnapping & drugged gang rape
>join a doomsday cult
yeah perfectly normal behavior.

the amount of sex scenes unironically hurts the games pacing severely

>>713234179 (OP)
How did this happen?

>>713245253
The porn, rape, and kidnapping is just normal criminal stuff. Not everyone in prison is insane, most of them are just stupid.
The cult was because they're women and easily influenced (also drugs).
>>713245475
There aren't that many in most routes.
But they did go way overboard in the later half of Takuji's. You have in pretty quick succession:
>Senagawa
>Riruru
>Ayana
>Kagami
>optionally Kimika
And Senagawa's is one of the most high-effort in the whole game for some reason, for a character that's not even important.
Doesn't help that I am not a futafag and I am mad that we never got another Ayana scene. This was the most effective way to make me dislike Takuji.

>>713245475
After a while i viewed it as a 120 day of sodom situation where you start dreading what new depravity is awaiting you.

>>713245565
The japanese movie industry suffered a massive decline in the 1970s.

Low IQ bait thread

SubaHibi is garbage by the way

>>713234179 (OP)
The only good Japanese games I can remember releasing in the 2020s are Elden Ring, Astlibra and Black Souls 2. Silent Hill f looks pretty good though.

Didn't like it, too easy.

fpbp

Tsui no Sora is better

>>713249657
Has anyone read the original, and if so is it worth waiting for the fan translation of that to come out?

>>713236947
There's no gay sex in it. Lesbian sex isn't gay. Fag shit requires sodomy

>>713250416
>he forgot about the takuji crossdressing mouthrape

>>713237496
It's even funnier when their games are so damn horny and full of sex scenes yet they complain about "gooning" when it's female characters that appeal to straight men instead of faggots, troons and women.
