What exactly gives Japan the edge over the west when it comes to videogames?

They have one singular leader in the projects in charge instead of a decentralized leadership

No those threads always devolve into East vs. West shit but both sides clearly do not know or care to play the games and learn about the other because this is fucking Zig Forums and intellectual dishonesty runs rampant here

Absolutely nothing.
You're just a delusional weeb in a website mirrored after Nip website and that's it.

Less identity politics

It's literally just "team of dedicated people led by creative person" vs "design by comittee in a multi thousand soulless corporate studio".
Westerners are capable of that too but very rare, overall Japan has a much more respect to craft itself and putting your love into it while West wants to be more practical and earn money.

1. Graphical capabilities of a system have finally reached an equilibrium of dev costs to acceptable playability. You no longer need to spend a fortune/have a 500 person dev team to make a commercially successful game.
Development costs really held Japanese studios back in the 360/PS3 era.
2.The Japanese finally figured it out and got together with their dev teams/studios/publishers and started sharing tech/development strategies. The entire japanese gaming industry had to start huddling around the same burning barrel of garbage 10 years ago. Japanese development was really on the ropes for a while during the PS3/360 development cycles. Western studios were getting money thrown at them while Japanese games were being produced on a shoe-string with a few expectations.
3. Western dev teams are now circling the drain. Nothing exciting outside of a handful of titles every year come out of Western development studios. They waste their money on marketing, diversity hiring and virtue signaling instead of hiring talented, motivated and passionate people. The Japanese have always been great at taking other peoples ideas and making them their own.
4. Tiddies and Ass.

Japan has always been a king in the video game industry
After a period of prosperity for Western games and decline for Japanese games zoomers have forgotten about it, but Japan is regaining its strength again.

AAA japanese games are better, but I have been enjoying western indies more than japanese ones, any recommendations on those?

What a shitty non-argument

No Hollywood equivalent wrecking culture and perceptions of entertainment.

Their nation hasn't been completely subverted... yet.

>good gameplay

I view the introduction of commissions and paywall shit to Japan's artist communities as the beginning of the erosion.
It's probably only a matter of time until their craftsmanship and creative drive becomes all about money like in the West.

focus on gameplay, simple as that.

How did the Japanese write questions before the introduction of the Western question mark?
Also: so other languages have symbols to express intention other than the exclamation and question marks that we lack?

Unironically no SJWs trying to infiltrate and influence everything with their cancerous political views.
Japanese just do what they like.
Western devs nowadays have the exact same copypasted game over and over again, take no risks and try to make SJW propaganda in a way that its tolerable. Which usually fails.

Gooks actually play the games they make and want them to have some minimum level of gameplay. Western hacks think they're auteurs for providing the storyboard for some shitty leftist propaganda narrative and don't actually give a shit about video games.

>inferior rts games
>inferior fps games
>inferior competitive games
>inferior rpgs
What edge, lmao
What edge, lmao

Pandering to the rapidly growing weebcel/trannoid market. Japanese vidya has always been essential trannycore. As pozzed as big western studios are, they can't hope to compete against anime aesthetics.

If it's not fun, why bother?

Bros...it's over. Every future Japanese games and anime will have ugly roasties, and some random thing about race which will 90% involve Blacks.

I've noticed in Japanese games it seems like every mechanic is given a purpose and the experience is "focused". There is really only "one way" to play Resident Evil 4 or God Hand or whatever. It could be argued they "lack depth", I don't disagree, but I also don't think this is a problem.

Whereas in the west:
>100 main objectives 500 optional objectives tackle them in any order you want however you want ;)
>Okay but aren't YOU the game designer?

Turn based combat is the most fun there is. You're just a zoomer with a shit attention span.

>yet

desu I don't think it'll ever happen. Their culture is just so different, they don't have the same self hatred that white people do. They're also overwhelming homogenous, so even if a minority group was like "japan is racist" or something they would just get snuffed out

By "mass immigration" do they mean fat, workshy, white weebs? Where do I sign up?

Worms armaggedon is the best in that regard. Everything else is shit
>PJW
Post a credible source next time

they don't employ women, yet

They ain't gonna stop trying.
And at one point, even America was over 90% homogenous.

Case in point

Turn based combat would theoretically allow for battles to require well-thought-out strategies and a lot of adapting and weighting of available options, but as it stands 99.99% of them are designed to be beatable as long as you are holding the controller so excuse me if I don't see the fucking point beyond the devs being too lazy to design any fun or meaningful combat.
>zoomer
you realize the earliest JRPG's are real-time right.

Instead of SJWs, coomers dictate market trends.

Not true. A lot of women work in the japanese game industry and are great at what they do

>inferior rpgs
Pfhahahhaha hell no. Maybe some indie games. Most big triple AAA western RPGs are not even RPGs any longer.
Also the West has
>inferior fighting games
>inferior tactical rpgs
>inferior hack'n slash games
>inferior platformers
>inferior jump'n runs

pandering (to actual gamers)

Their language. Rendering japanese script requires higher resolution so back in the day the Japanese had better graphics as a result. That made them push the sistems in ways western developers would not (or could not).
From there they had a headstart for concentrating on storytelling and other details.
Also anime girls.

>lack of puritanism
>still censor porn
Thanks for making me laugh, faggot.

proof?

THIS

I loved playing through RE4 because you just FEEL how TUNED the game is.

Every single encounter the devs know what weapons you have access to, ammo, save points etc

It just feels so tuned and good to play.

Ubisoft style open world games just feel so sloppy in comparison.

>Fun
>Tiddies
>Games
It's such a simple equation.

The East always has a leap in technology.
