When would you say they lost the plot, and why?

When would you say they lost the plot, and why?
They're getting mogged at their own game all around the world now, not just in Asia.

Expedition 33 is the sort of game they used to put out in the 6th and 7th gen days done to perfection. It's honestly embarrassing.

IMG_3598.jpg - 452x678, 31.04K

They're focusing on having sex now

They started believing in the bullshit DEI says about what western audiences want instead of following their heart

no lol, they wish

The japanese have dominated the gaming industry for 40+ years and a lot of modern games are influenced by then.

OP is a singaporean shitskin that is constantly seething about Japan, btw.

The Japanese are still much doing much better than the west in vidya. One good RPG buried within the mountains and mountains of shit the west turns out each year isn't going to change that.

Imagine still simping for Japan in 2025 when nips themselves don't even fuck with their own shit anymore LOL.

retard. japan still makes the best games, including the best turn based games
one exception does not mean they "lost the plot", and i say this as someone who just finished expedition 33 and i think it was a masterpiece
E33 was literally the first western game worth playing in at least the past 5 years, maybe more. you have profound mental retardation, op

Japan will respond by adding even more trannies to their games. Lmao. It will take multiple years for their boomers to even think about changing course.

anime replaced with fake anime :(

I can't fanthom being an IJA rapebaby and hate Japan, yet you consume their cultural exports.

They're getting mogged at their own game all around the world now, not just in Asia.

Because Japanese games now are filled with DEI and pander heavily to the west. I'm sure Korea will replace Japan very soon.

Because Japanese games now are filled with DEI and pander heavily to the west.

stop playing crapcom/square enix big ip's/koei tecmo shit and you won't have this problem

The frogs an gooks are dying out at a faster rate than the nips. South Korea is number one in suicides.

There wouldn't be any worst Koreans and white frenchies left before the Japs die off.

Why cannot Hoyoslops and BA become national game in Japan, Korea and China like Apex, valo, splatoon, pokemon, MH, Maple, lost ark, SC1, LoL in Korea, and DFO, WC3 in China?

IMG_5172.jpg - 1159x2007, 995.63K

Capcom? They show pantyshot in SF6, and Juri's classic skin is reverse censored from SF5. Mai didn't got spats on. And MH wilds have revealing gears while Risebreak doesn't.
And Yumia has bikini for every female playables.

And Korean games ban bikinis yet, tho.
Pic rel is swimsuit not allowed in Korea.

IMG_5120.jpg - 652x674, 192.74K

DEI? Why cannot so based Korea have bikinis in their games and manhwa? Japanese games have bikinis in 2025 too. 100 lines, Yumia, Okayunium, RF GoA, Mario kart world.

IMG_4644.png - 1017x1680, 2.96M

capcom fills their games with more brown people than london. they censored the fucking crawl animation in wilds so you can't get a view of the characters ass, removed gender from the game entirely, and the game is about babysitting a fucking jeet boy
koei tecmo is hit or miss i guess, yumia is fine, but dynasty warriors has more fag romances than straight ones, gender is removed from rise of the ronin, and there's plenty of other examples too

obviously it can even vary within a company
see: romancing saga 2 remake vs ff7 rebirth and dq3. smaller games by square enix totally avoid the ethics department

Japan used to make great games like Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, BoTW, Xenoblade 2, MHW, RE7, RE4R, Ryza 1-3, SF6, Mario wonder, Elden ring, Unicorn overlord, Like a dragon 7, Asstro bot, metaphor since 2017, 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 Inzoi, and French black ship like Clair obscur and Asscreed shadow? Why did Japanese game which was glorious in 2024 tremble so easily?
No Japanese game this year got metascore over 90. When Western game was suffering this last year. But it became opposite this year, man.
Even switch 2 won't save Japanese game!! En taro Xi Jinping!! My life for China!! Templari por Nanking!! Khassar de China!!

IMG_5157.jpg - 1016x1680, 204.08K

Does anyone have that pic of the white women calling the asian woman athlete ugly/unattractive?

Jeet boy? Why is Jeet shota more woke than any negroes?

when did i say it's more woke? they're both equally disgusting and disgraceful. it's like asking would you rather have someone shit a solid 10" turd into your mouth or a wet diarrhea? eating shit is eating shit

listing a bunch of gachaslop garbage without a hint of irony

kill yourself faggot, and make it quick. i actually like some chink games, nine sols, wukong, codename bakery, were all pure kino last year. atlus alone released as many great games in 2024 as the entirety of china.
salesfags and gachasubhumans all need to be literally flayed alive

There are more Korean games than that one you know?

No Korean game have bikinis like this. Only Japanese game can have bikinis. Blue archive has no bikini(2021-22 doesn't count, saar)

IMG_5120.jpg - 652x674, 171.19K

Shut up. Switch 2 will be a Yamato ship which destroy any black ship fleet from China and France, and Become an ark to Japanese game by AAA union!! No Chinese game will be in nintendo switch 2. Even french pre ordered switch 2 a lot. And so did Americans, spite "drop the price". When switch 2 arrives, Japanese game will rise again like 2017 and 2024!!

IMG_4364.jpg - 640x363, 70.31K

Is Khazan and Inzoi not that great either?

Their economy shit the bed in 1991 which sent their games and anime industries hurtling off a cliff.
By the PS2 era, most of their good game studios had closed.
By the PS3 era, they were completely dead because they couldn't keep up with development costs.

dominated the gaming industry for 40+ years

Rubbish. They dominated starting around 1985, and that lasted about a decade, then they lost a lot of ground and fell off a cliff entirely.

They recovered somewhat around 2017 but there was a long period there where they could not keep up.

nigga have you not seen the first descendant and lost ark? shit is coomer as balls yo

singapore is significantly more prosperous than japan

Do they have actual bikini? Pic rel shows that Korea bans bikini, DJmax's swimsuit being censored from one pieced swimsuit to rashguard is a proof. Japanese game never do shit like pic rel. censored tifa shows more skin than pic rel and BA swimsuits.

IMG_5177.jpg - 1162x1636, 1.17M

Inzoi is a complete failure and Khazan just harbors a small niche since only a handful of people like the Nioh style of games.

i dunno nigga what do you think

It's about time people realized how overrated the Japanese are.

Was Japanese game's "revival" in 2017 false? Was Japan bribing critics to make their slop look good by 90s metascore and shill them, but it doesn't work in 2025? How can Japanese game's glory shatter in 2025 when Japanese game peaked in 2024?

IMG_5157.jpg - 774x1280, 142.49K

Because instead of making various small games they want to invest everything into AAA, same as every corpo nowadays.

White people finally make one decent RPG by ripping off a few Japanese games and you're getting all uppity? How low can you go?

Japs can't into games anymore, meanwhile Korea has back to back to back best games of the year in lies of p, stellar blade and khazan.

2 inferior souls clones and 1 inferior nier clone

wow, they sure outdid japan didn't they. poor bait

Japan used to make great games like Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, BoTW, Xenoblade 2, MHW, RE7, RE4R, Ryza 1-3, SF6, Mario wonder, Elden ring, Unicorn overlord, Like a dragon 7, Asstro bot, metaphor since 2017, 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,

friendly reminder japniggers are subhumans and should be treated as such

Is being pro Japan nettouyo not a good choice now? Tenno heika banzai... i wonder if I was right to become pro Japan, anti-Korea nettouyo... was I wrong to become loyalist to Japan?

IMG_5179.png - 1016x1680, 2.53M

kill yourself japnigger

easy mode: I'd say, activism and all the shit that comes with it; bad decisions, listening to the wrong people.
hard mode: I'd say, chasing western trends and their market, pretty much getting involved in too much western culture and influence by them, let alone taking their funds too.

Shut up. Korea bans bikini. Their censorship is so bullshit that Koreans want to play Japanese or Western game rather than their censored slops. Tenno heika banzai.

IMG_5179.png - 774x1280, 1.23M

id say 1868, but they never had the plot to begin with

Why did I became loyalist to Japan as Pro Japan, anti Korea nettouyo? I regret bowing on Yasukuni shrine... I feel betrayed for Ishiba and Zaimusho, Dentsu banned bikinis from anime and console game... why does shithole like this have 96 freedom house score, when even their HQ, America has 84 only?

Jap devs are still stuck in the 2000's. Even GoT mogged them in Samurai autism.

GoT is Japanese for being Sony tho.
Concord is Japanese and GoT is western? What the hell? And for sega, total war warhammer is british and hyenas, pharaoh is Japanese? For Western studio in Japanese company, Good ones are western and bad ones are Japanese?

Why are anti Japan Chosenjing so irrelevant?

they are stuck in 2000s

they are pandering to modern western trend

Can't u Choose from these 2, Chosenjings? These 2 trait cannot coexist.

Japanese game has revived in 2017 to match up with West. Not early 2010s when Japanese game struggled in PS360WiiU era.
Switch 2 will make Japanese game arise again. Decimating Japanese game killers in China and France like Yamato ship.
Your mind is stuck in PS360WiiU era when Japanese game suffered. R U upset that Astro bot mogged wukong and Switch 2 will destroy chinese games? Japanese game has improved dramatically since 2017.

IMG_3803.png - 1385x1680, 2.18M

But didn't Japanese game revive in 2017? Was Japanese game's "revival" liar? According to metacritic.

What even is this ESL schizo post.

Cuz Astrobot is Japanese and got goty in 2024 while Wukong got goty snuffed aside from user vote botting. Tenno heika banzai. Don't u know that Japanese game revived in 2017? Are you Phil Fish's ghost?

Japanese game has revived in 2017, oyaji.
GoT is Japanese for being Sony tho. Is Astro bot Japanese tho?

goty

Nigga i dont even care about this gay shit or brand loyalty.
I just play games.

developed by western studio

Japanese

No. Cope.

They were never good, they just didnt have big competition besides USA and a few countries in EU which are easy beat.

I now understand why lost ark keeps showing up on steam toplists.

Your ESL is so bad

France has a long running cultural connection with Japan, no shit they can make a good JRPG

On the console side they're trying to adapt to trends they don't really understand
On the gacha culture side they can't accept the idea of their money printing mobile games being given enough budget to become more than mediocre jpeg battlers
