Thread 717673008

>One of Japan’s biggest TV broadcasting networks has disclosed the results of a large-scale survey of Japanese people’s gaming tastes. Through a recently aired TV program, they showcased a top 100 ranking of the most popular games based on the survey findings, as well as a look into what different age groups are playing.

>Ariyoshiiieeeee! – Oh yeah! Wanna play games at your place now? is a variety TV show broadcast every Monday on TV Tokyo. The show is hosted by Hiroiki Ariyoshi, a comedian and television presenter who is also an avid gamer, and as its title suggests, it is centered around gaming. Usually, in each of the episodes of the shows, Ariyoshi teams up with co-hosts and other celebrities and they spend time playing and discussing games together.

>In a special episode broadcast on July 27, a survey was conducted, interviewing 3,000 people about their favorite games. The sample covered five different age groups of men and women from their 10s to their 50s, with roughly 600 people representing each age group. Each of the participants were asked to name five of their favorite games, and the games were given a score according to how the participants ranked them. The scores were then tallied and ranked accordingly, with the top 100 best games being showcased in the TV show.

>>717674442
minecraft is a chill and calming experience. Its not a top 10 for me but I can see the merit in it. Meanwhile fromslop is just IWannaBeThatGuy but grimedgydarknessblood or whatever fucking buzzwords these fanboys keep using in order to describe its shitty black on black setting

>>717675193
I think Japan's whole "the nail that sticks out gets hammered flat" mentality just encourages them to say whatever they believe is broadly popular so they won't get bullied by some angry Japanese schoolgirl.

>>717673008 (OP)
why の touhou baka hentai?

>>717675197
Pathetic comeback. You probably never played the games as you ENTIRELY judge the game because of other people's impression of them.

>>717675263
I mean it is what it is. They loved monster hunter because it was a casual game they can play together on go. Most japanese gamers, aka normies, love these casual coop games where they can just mess around, hence minecraft and nintendo.

>>717675193
The young adult becomes a slave that can't play video games and spends his life drinking away his problems. The 30 yo hag dresses like she's 13 while the hikkikomori and the otaku archetype is dead due to the jewish pressure that will eventually collapse their entire society that refuse to be multi culturally enriched

>>717675408
Because touhou is from niche otaku crowd that don't actually overlap with "gamers". Notice how the so called kamige aren't there either, or any VNs for that matter.

I am genuinely shocked pokemon isn't in the top 10, Nintendo really destroyed that brand. Also, observe that there's no Capcom, from soft, etc.

People complain about the West, but Japanese gaming really is in the toilet. This is what happens when your indie scene withers and there's no mobility from the bottom to top. At least manga and anime is still good.

Those are westerncuck companies parading as japanese, i bet adding a bunch of ugly niggers to the games is what japanese truly want

otaku and gaming culture in general don't really mesh well in japan if you can believe that. Gacha maybe but gaming as we know it? Hell no. I want to a maid cabaret some years back and while talking, the maid asked me what games I was into. I think I was being dumb because I tried to be cool and told her Project Zero aka Fatal Frame. She didn't know what it is. I said it's a game made by Koei Tecmo. Still didn't have a clue. Meanwhile she knew about Genshin and said her favorite character was Shou/Xiao.
You can see this in any hobby shop you visit, none of the stores sell kind merch from vidya characters unless they are from gacha like azur lane, fgo or nikke.

>>717675871
Monster Hunter and Resident Evil are ranked below Valorant, dude.

>>717676009
>Still didn't have a clue.
I meant that she didn't know what koei tecmo was. Granted she's a zoomer who definitely knew nothing about gaming companies and probably my mistake for assuming the average person knows anything about the gaming industry at all.

At this point I'm convinced the reason Nintendo gets away with all the shit they do is because no matter how bad they are, the entire country of Japan (and every preteen and grandparent in the west) will keep buying their games religiously no matter what.

>>717676230
Well I panicked but yeah I fucked up. I always thought girls would be interested if you tried to bring up horror stories or ghosts. Maybe I'm autistic.

>>717676306
And you would be correct. Brand loyalty is a cancer to the brain.

>>717675712
>At least manga and anime is still good.
Lmao check out this cross dressing homo

>>717676306
Nintendo is very popular in Japan not because the japs are fanboys, but because Nintendo is quintessentially a "traditional" jap company and it knows how to talk and market to jap normalfags. it's that simple.

>>717676417
There is nothing wrong with crossdressing.

Hard fail kids

Why are youngsters brain damaged

People seem to think the Japanese don't have lowest common denominator consumers for some reason when they absolutely do, just with variants from western counterparts (Dragon Quest's spots in a western list would probably be 7th gen shooters and BG3). A lot of the coolest games out of Japan are made for enthusiasts (read: otaku) and mid-range western audiences.

>>717675263
This is weighed down by children. Any kid with a computer or Switch can play Minecraft. Look at Famitsu sales, a game with 5k sales can make the top five. Adults do not play games. Animal Crossing is actual the most popular game for adults in Japan due to the 20-30 year old female market.

>>717676306
Well Nintendo is basically their own version of Disney over there. They might as well be a company-state/autonomous entity. You remember how japanese companies either have to rent office buildings in the city or have a small studio? Well the Nintendo offices in kyoto is a massive compound with two whole buildings. Meanwhile, arguably the most famous jap company right now, Fromsoftware, just has a few floors in some office building in shinjuku.

Anon, I'm not even saying this to try and insult you, but it's very obvious here that you're judging the games solely by reputation and by the first hour or so of DS1. Those moments are not very common in their work overall, and usually there's an indication beforehand if something is going to try and kill you (or the surprise will just do damage rather than sending you back to a bonfire instantly). You aren't meant to die constantly, you're just supposed to learn to check for other threats before running in. Dark Souls 1 is probably From's second easiest game behind Demon's Souls.

>>717674186
>35: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Probably the only time one of these lists has it in an accurate spot

>>717676856
It's not japs. Besides roblox, it's the go to game for every kid and manchild in the world. Vtubers shilling the game years ago probably also helped.

>>717676769
I wonder how they view the Power Rangers bundle over there as Zyuranger wasn't a generational wonder like it is was in the west.

If you're referring to animeslop, no that's for otaku who are justly called outcasts for decades for a reason.

>>717676568
>Why are youngsters brain damaged
They're raised in black culture (Jewish, blacks don't have true culture because they never created a real language or writings) which is 65iq poison for the brain. Without blacks and their puppeteers we'd be living in the apex of human history due to the tech we have, but alas, we'll revert to the negro en masse

Holy zoomer batman, terrible taste.

>>717675049

By a lot, i was in shanghai, and like everyone man, woman, teens, adult played it

>>717676946
I'm pretty sure a lot of Toku/Sentai fans are at LEAST familiar with Mighty Morphin' given how big it was globally, but I'm sure there's some Japanese teens old enough to know some earlier Sentai but not MMPR that are really fucking confused.

>>717677062
Why do you choose to revert?

>>717676281
Nah I thought about it some more and realized it's because each generation votes for a different pokemon. Quality of the games doesn't matter, pokemon is too big.

>>717673008 (OP)
Out of 100 games, 7 are non-Japanese.
Literally nothing exists outside of their little island for these people.

I'm going to ignore the obvious that they don't have a single western classic on the list.
No yakuza, no shenmue, no dynasty warriors, no dmc and the only persona game is 5.
Truly bugmen taste.

>>717674843
the rest of asia's passtime is playing gachashit and kidnapping kids and raping them

>>717676227

>>717677434
Disregarding Tetris, the oldest western game on that list is fucking Minecraft. Every other one came out in the last decade.

>>717677394
It's not even that. All the games listed are just from the same series/franchise and same company.
See>>717677434
It's like going to japan and asking someone if they know about girls und panzer and they only know about kimetsu no yaiba because that's what kids like.

>>717677394
pretty much just first party Nintendo shit or might as well be Nintendo first party shit like dq which primarily sold on the 3ds

>>717677434
Genuinely surprised to see no dynasty warriors. Or hell, nier automata. So what, the 400k+ copies that sold in japan and all those stories about singers crying while singing the ending credits was just a ruse?

>you see it gets better 100 hours in, the 99 hours prior are supposed to suck, its all part of the greatest game design in the history of mankind
if a game sucks dick in the first hour, chances are it sucks dick for the rest of it aswell.
Poor level design is not something that suddenly dissapears. Its not like hollow knight where, in order to have fun, you first have to play for 4-5 hours so you actually can do something other than 1 basic attack and jumping
I dont like hollow knight either before you go there

Absolutely mother of shit fucking taste I wouldn't put a single animal crossing in the top 500 games of all time, I suppose women and gays need games too

>>717676598
well pc gaming was never a thing for them like if only they knew that the most basic b tier crpg beats out all 40 jrpg slop they put on this list. or the majesty that is warcraft 3 and d2.
what's really shocking is only a single resident evil game and only just the first one.
like i consider re4 original an easy contender for greatest video game of all time but its just not here? its Japanese and console shit.
confusing

>>717676520
That's still brand loyalty at the end of the day, and I wish these people realized how retarded the company they're consooming from nonstop has become. I don't mind Japan generally but god damn do they have a problem when it comes to letting companies get away with shit. They actually make the US look sane sometimes with how much they'll mindlessly simp for corporate products. I stop subscribing to the idea of ignorance being bliss when it generates a country of Funko Pop collectors.

>>717676709
>Well Nintendo is basically their own version of Disney over there
I think that's a perfect comparison, in that Disney is also wildly corrupt and seems to think it won't fail no matter how poorly it's managed. But Disney is currently getting fucked over by its own hubris and I really think Nintendo could stand to face similar consequences. If only it didn't have so many customers who will just spend and spend regardless of whether what they're buying is worth the price tag.

>>717676227
>beat out recency slop
Gen 4 has the most recent remake. It's has base+new fanbase, it has the most prominent boost of both recency and nostalgia bias.

>>717677394
I wonder how many Japanese games would show up in the US list. This isn't some curated best games of all time list made by journos. It's general population.
It would all be Madden, NBA and CoD

>>717677829
My wife has over 1000 hours in it.

>>717675049
They pandered to japs, came at a perfect time during the kung flu pandemic + rise of vtubers
EA took advantage, made a japwank season complete with a japanese legend, local tournaments and involved JP creators
I think the rest of the list being japanese games makes sense when they suck at english and not a lot of games made translations available until recently

>>717677920
I'd hazard a guess even with lowest common denominator polling the list would be at least 25% Japanese. Pokemon, Mario, Smash, Persona, the rest of the world isn't as insulated as Japan.

>>717675049
Apex is dating sim for them

It's female coded, the actual women that like good female coded games play stardew valley which has 10x better progression and gameplay and it doesn't literally waste your time with EVERY slow animation, slower dialogue, and real time mechanics explicitly to waste your time and make you play everyday. AC is the ultimate timewaster

>>717676709
>Fromsoft is more popular than Nintendo! It's a conspiracy Nintendo has money to own two (soon three) office building after their 135 years of existence
Jesus fucking Christ dude.

>>717677824
It's not poor level design (except the dragon), you just didn't pick up on the lesson the game was trying to teach you. Why do you think it rolled a boulder down the stairs at you in the tutorial area and had an undead flinging firebombs from a roof on the way to the Taurus Demon? To tell you to keep your eyes open and not go forward without looking around. Hell, one of the easiest and most effective ways to kill the Taurus Demon is shown to you earlier by the tutorial boss. Climb above it and drop on its head. People say that Souls games have good level design because for the most part, the levels teach you how to improve if you pay attention.

>>717677962
What doesn't make sense though is that absence of certain series on a top 100 list. No Siren? No Xenoblade/gears? Ace Combat? Armored Core? No Nier? Not even Tekken 3? Ninja Gaiden maybe? It's a list that shows a very specific type of gamer who only plays very limited genres.

>>717677902
>But Disney is currently getting fucked over by its own hubris and I really think Nintendo could stand to face similar consequences
Man, you are delusional. No, the imaginary issues you conjured up in an attempt to turn Switch 2 into a tortanic don't exist.
Nintendo is basically the only (large) video game company left in Japan that caters to Japanese people. They got to this position after decades of building up good will while everyone else was chasing after MUH WEST.
Nintendo is currently losing money on every Switch 2 unit sold in Japan because they didn't want to price Japanese people out by making it an equivalent of $700 like Sony did with PS5.

>>717678248
I honestly have no idea why certain games have not made it in the list
Do we have information about the sample quality? Did they truly ask random people on the streets? Not to mention the people that play certain games might not even be outside that often
All I know is there's an obvious reason why there's not a lot of non-Japanese games on the list

I'm actually shocked Skyrim didn't make the top 100. Like to the point where I assume a mistake in vote counting or something. I thought they loved Skyrim? It's even on the Switch.

>>717675049
it's more of an asian thing than japan thing, there an absolutely insane amount of marketing for apex legends in asia than the rest of the world for some bizarre reason

No one cares about bethesda any more. It's not in any recent top 10 lists in the west either.

I'm going to share one last thing with you anime troons, if you die of aids or commit suicide and you have relatives who outlive you, they'll be remembering you before you transitioned. They'll be picturing you as the young boy they pushed on the swings at the park, or celebrated their fifth birthday with a cake and a party. Every thought and recollection will utilize your deadname and deadform, you'll be ground to dust screaming up from hell "it's Alexis, not Alex!" but no one will hear you and no one will care, we'll retain our memories from when you were sane and likeable. Form a time when your future seemed unrestricted and exciting. From a time before you mutilated yourself in search of satan, all because cartoons from a hostile foreign nation told you to
Have a great day troons

Idk why people are so mad, a society that breeds autism is bound to rank Minecraft, mario, animal crossing, dragon quest and fortnite as the best games ever made.

I disagree on ultimate being that high but in a place with great internet and everyone being close together, Ult probably is that great of a game. I wouldn't know, I'm stuck in a country where it goes full retard and matches me with people that are literally thousands of miles away

It's actually simple if you look into it. Popular streamers in those regions got into it, thus making it trendy for youths to want to play. Bonus points for it being F2P so it's relatively easy to get started. Pretty sure I saw an anime that joked about MC and some of his friends choosing to watch popular streamer play Apex since they couldn't bag girls IRL also.

>>717678509
Charging 150% the original price of Breath of the Wild for a slight graphical/performance upgrade is not a made up issue, nor is the company constantly hiking overall game prices higher and refusing to even make some of their old games available without a subscription fee. The fact that Nintendo games virtually never lower their prices or go on sale regardless of how long it's been since release, the constant litigation by the company against anyone who does anything with their products without a signed permission slip, the attempts to patent and sue competition out of existence, none of these are imagined issues. The Switch 2 being $50 or $100 over the price people expected would be a negligible concern if the company wasn't also trying to constantly force artificial scarcity and demand for their products while milking that demand for as much cash as possible. Yes, Nintendo built up goodwill, which it has been rapidly burning through over the last few years to the point where many of its own former fans (at least in the west) are saying it no longer deserves their money. All this without even mentioning that Nintendo hardware quality is often laughably bad when compared to even Sony- and that is a very low bar to reach.

I don't expect a Tendie to acknowledge these issues, but I will say that if you think the only reason anyone would dislike your favorite corporation is because of the cost of a single console, you are the one who's delusional.

How do you want to argue your case when you couldn't even stop yourself from lying in the very first sentence?

That's what every company did because that's the reality of the current day market. How is relevant to "hubris catching up to Nintendo"?
>The fact that Nintendo games virtually never lower their prices or go on sale regardless of how long it's been since release
There's a sale on eshop right now with a bunch of Nintendo games.
>the constant litigation by the company against anyone who does anything with their products without a signed permission slip
The organisers apologised. It was their fault. That's just how charities are done in Japan.
Don't tell me you are one of those people giving jewtubers money by watching their grift videos?

You mean like that time when Nintendo's lawsuit saved mobile developers from having to pay a toll for using digital dpads?

It's about Oguri Cap, the Rocky of Japanese horse racing, who, during his era, was considered a strange anomaly and an unstoppable monster. It's a "cinderella story" because gray horses were considered unsuitable for competition previously as well as coming from a random backwater shithole and not being able to walk when he was born, so Oguri was like this strange beast that ran like an autistic bulldozer unlike any other horse that took the entire era by storm. The terminology is often used in sports, especially boxing.

Do retards here not understand how statistics works? 3k is more than enough to get a good enough representation of the overall Jap taste. If you polled every single person who plays games there it would still be 95% the same games, but just slightly shuffled around a bit.

A lot of japanese gaming companies I think are more popular in the west in general. Like fromsoft games for example just sell a few hundred thousand copies in japan vs in the USA where it sells millions.
What we're seeing here is the same cultural divide just like when people complain why chinese gaming is so obsessed with making DMC and Fromsoft clones; it's because chinese gamers love games like those.

>A lot of japanese gaming companies I think are more popular in the west

Definitely Capcom for sure..I'd imagine Resident Evil,Dead Rising,Street Fighter and Mega Man are all way more popular outside of Japan. Monster Hunter is probably their most popular series in Japan

>>717689037
That's because most people who love fo4 either don't really care about the setting or just use it as a modding platform like skyrim. Right now fo4 is being used by russkies as both as both a tarkov clone or a ukraine war sim.
