is this true about Japanese game development?

>>713709703 (OP)
True, Japanese games peaked from 2000 to 2010, but that was the peak of vidya anyway

jap language is a real barrier for many things related to advanced learning

>>713709703 (OP)
Japs have many qualities but they're tech illiterates
I blame gates for illegaly killing their home computer market

Japs are retarded and tech illiterate.

>>713709703 (OP)
japs made the fox engine so clearly they know something

GAIJIN NO RIKE??? NO YOU NO UNDERSTANDU FILTHY PIGGU OUR ONRINE IS CHARMING AND QUAINT NOTU BADU AND OUTDATED

I don't even wanna imagine being a modern dev without access or rather without being able to understand stackoverflow, github, competent code LLM, library documentations and 99% of academic literature.

>>713709703 (OP)
But only world and Wilds have terrible online. Everything else including rise and Sunbreak has seamless online.

So it lacks pajeets and not as souless as chink or mutt development?

>>713711872
No the devs have to parse through 28k unique symbols to be able to write a program

Vtubers are unironically thrusting japan into the modern computer age.

>be dev
>have question regarding very niche plugin or library or code related
>can't understand publicly availabe knowledge because it's not in ching cheng chong
It doesn't require a lot of brainpower to understand this is poison to efficiency.

>>713711951
thats not happening until japan defaults on its loans, mass starvation happens, millions of people are killed and they finally go through a language reform that allows kids to save few thousand hours of studying japanese and go onto doing more interesting things

>>713711951
Nips still have ridiculous poor grasp of english, even in places like brazil people know that you need more than one language for advanced computer stuff.

>>713709703 (OP)
Japanese code in english

>>713709703 (OP)
This redditor has a point. Why don't the Japs don't get on board with the modern pipeline: 200 pajeets cooking in Unreal 5, and blue-haired trannies designing the interface and writing the script?

>>713709703 (OP)
I heard that when Fromsoft made Sekiro, Activision had programmers come in to do the optimization and everything and it was like having wizards working there

>>713709703 (OP)
Japanese culture has an autistic obsession as well for not improving a standing product for real but instead making an iterative sequel or rerelease which is why so many fighting series didn't get rollback netcode until their modern releases

>>713709703 (OP)
Nintendo knows how to code though, their games are always polished.

>>713718512
I worked outside contractor QA on a capcom project back in the 2010s. They had no idea what occlusion culling was (the technique where things not in the field of view are not rendered, optimizing performance in visual heavy games quite a bit). They're incredibly behind

>>713718672
So western devs have the tools but not the vision, and Japanese devs have the vision but not the tools. Then the European devs are somewhere in the middle.

When you look at how they do stuff a lot of the time it's liker the whole reinventing the wheel concept.

>>713709703 (OP)
jesus, no we don't want all this cancerous network infrastructure that shitty ass Western games have. We don't need your item server, your daily login, your twitch drops, your battlepass, ranked matchmaking etc etc.

A game like Nightreign does it perfectly fine. You can play online with others and guess what? You can even play the game OFFLINE. If this was a Western release, I GUARANTEE you offline would not even be an early consideration.

>>713709703 (OP)
It's true. They wanted to systematize the combat animation states in Nier Automata and had it all ready to go until the Lead Combat designer decided it was too automated and he handpicked and tweaked all the combat-states manually.

Stuff like, "If you jump, it should cancel run animation".

It's nicely curated but ruins the entire point of using it as a system for potential sequels or additional combat characters.

Japs are the grand masters of spaghetti code, they will produce the most unholy piece of clusterfuck programming but make it run well through sheer brute force and work hours

>>713718878
Wtf does any of that have to do with network infrastructure???

>>713718878
>item server, your daily login, your twitch drops, your battlepass, ranked matchmaking
Those are just design choices. That has nothing to do with networking. If we wanna talk about fromsoft we could go for days about their shitty netcode and how their regional matchmaking consists solely of "Japan/Everyone else"

>>713719085
>FFXIV has so much technical debt that they've had to start making less content slower and the game is just beginning to fall apart at the seems when they do add new content
Best example of it I think in current gaming activity

>>713709703 (OP)
asians are awful at this for some reason.
I recently tried the Mecha Break beta and for some reason they have REGION SPECIFIC accounts and matchmaking for what is just a simple 6v6 pvp game. We're in fucking 2025 you should be dynamically matching players by ping or something, if the game ever dies in my region then I have to go make an NA account and lose all my progression.

>>713709703 (OP)
>just look at their websites
Japanese website design is based though. Feels like Japan stayed back in the mid 2000s and never felt the need to try and bloat the fuck out of their shit. There are tons of sites today that still seem to be designed around viewing it on an old 4:3 800x600 monitor.

>guys, is what some faggot on reddit true??????????????????????

>>713718878
>A game like Nightreign does it perfectly fine.
Nightreign was shitting the bed once or twice an hour all afternoon yesterday and even kept doing it after 6pm when the content dropped. Every time the server flinched, literally everybody playing would have their 30-45 minute run destroyed, without even getting pity rewards like if they had gotten a gameover.

So no, Nightreign is a perfect example of Jap network shit being absolute dogshit.

>>713709703 (OP)
It's not caused by arcade developers, it's caused by very bad ability to read English (basically making the reverse of PS2 when the JP devs could just read the manual and the western devs had to figure everything on their own) and the nature of game programming being a job for amateur hobbyists.
A JP Sw Engineer for vidya is a 20-30 year old dude who studied Art design and created a doujin game in high school/early 20s to get the job.
He'll inevitably run away into a "real job" once he becomes 30 and has to provide for himself.

Codemonkey autists have no idea of what is really essential. They are soulless automatons that need to be kept on a short leash.
