Obvious signs that a game was made in Japan

The music is really good

5 hours of content stretch out for 45 hours.

decent to good ideas with the most dogshit implementation imaginable

attractive women
no black people

Its good

mc finds a porno magazine by accident and his eyes pop out of his head and he starts drooling and there's a BOING sound effect and he gets a nosebleed

his female sidekick punches him in the face and calls him a "hentai"

ever forgetting the obligatory aquarium visit cutscene

Shame on you anon

KYAAAAAAAAA

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

it can't be helped

A boy accidentally gropes a girl or sees her naked, she violently assaults him in retaliation.

Holy shit, seriously. It's like sometimes, the devs don't bother looking to see what or how others did something and just make something that's been done before, from the ground up again.

Playable characters can wear wacky costumes, bonus points if they're dlc

an animal mascot

characters reach a beach and large body of water

"umi da!!!!!"

Girls are cute

Engrish TL

Niche genre/gimmick that it's really fun

mid PC port

Cool Soundtrack

gnosticism

Man I was so fucking mad when this little shit appeared, must every single nipponesian game have one?

autistic amount of permanent missables that requires a guide to get them all

When you can tell the devs have no clue how guns work

female character is bad at cooking, so bad people are gagging when they try to eat it

this is treated as the funniest thing in the universe

medieval western fantasy themed game

somehow there are samurais and katanas and shit

fishing minigame
poorly explained stats
trailer for the game is filled with mindless talking in platitudes while random gameplay is shown

Final enemy is God

Real final enemy is the god inside of God

it has no gameplay

youtube.com/watch?v=Dfb_n7wjb5k

Random fucking NTRbaiting

Looking at you Astlibra

only devs that can make action games feel impactful and heavy

you're locked out of the best ending if you don't collect them all

name 5 games

the "comedy" is completely shit and involves female party members abusing/insulting the males members over some bullshit reasoning

girls are pale skinned and sexy

Small butts

its shit and you will see the same character tropes they been doing for 60 years

that no matter how fantastical the setting is there will always be an embarrassing not-japan power fantasy or at the very least elements of it like the strongest entity using a katana

Obvious signs that a game was made in Japan

GAME TITLE:「ADVANCE NIGHTS」E X C E E D『GuiltyBLADE』UNDERVerse III [Type-SX]

AWFUL MOTION CAPTURE ANIMATION
WHY THE FUCK IS IT ALWAYS SO SHITTY. TAKE 10 SECONDS TO CLEAN IT UP SO IT'S LESS OBVIOUS THAT THEY'RE JUST FLOATING AN INCH ABOVE THE GROUND. FUCKING HELL

western game; "The"

yuro character is called Messerschmidt von Strudel Waffle the 3rd

even the VAs can't pronounce it right

Girl cuts her hair short to show she's changed

Pedophilia

game features NTR

add

schrodinger's cat reference

playing monster hunter rise DLC

nigga wyverian shows up as the first npc in this game that doesnt immediately get on their knees to blow you

by contrast, he acts completely flippant in a cutscene towards you (this is supposed to be played for laughs) and like an annoying faggot to everyone else but the characters insist he's soooo indispensable and vital to the job theyre doing he is allowed to act like a complete hemorrhoid

literally sexpest asks the dlc waifu bitch when she's gonna join him in his lab, calling her a pet name no one else does

other npc goes 'oh you didnt notice how glad [npc bitch] is to have [black dude] around? teehee she may act tsundere but you can tell behind her groaning she's relived to have him here!'

positioned so that he is standing directly opposite of the waifu bitches from the base game when they periodically visit the dlc area

starts showing up on the main menu screen

completely jarring

unskippable custcenes are far more common in western games

implying western game isn't riddled with cuckhold shit as well

most generic and safe story imaginable with a happy ending

DQ11 solidified my thoughts that japan just cannot write captivating stories anymore intended for a global market. which is fine, cater to your own needs or whatever, but christ their writing has not improved over the years at all.

I'm so sick of downer endings in western products.

yeah why bother having a story with any sort of stakes or nuance when you can just end it with a kumbaya and everyone lives happily ever after :) no need to upset your players :)

Play through game and beat all of the hardships

hahaha, just kidding, here, have a bad ending :)

I did not work my ass off playing a game and going through your challenges to be faced with an ending where I failed.

everyone survives

some b rank protagonist has a fake out death and is revealed to be alive post credits

character eats some plain rice

MMMMMMMMMMMM OISHIIIII!!!

the story is fucking hot garbage yet is somehow total kino at the same time

scene where the women mistakenly enter the bathhouse during male hours yet it's still the male party member's fault and they never get an apology

funny scene were some guy does/says something stupid

apparently that's not the part you're supposed to laugh at, you're meant to wait until a second character yells out "that stupid thing you did was stupid you baka!!"

Not him, but FE6 does this

>the story is fucking hot garbage yet is somehow total kino at the same time

I love Yakuza

censorship

Normal ED of DQ11 is great. bitter sweet , world still got destroyed like ff6
just pretend true end doesnt exist

Most powerful sword is a katana, usually called Masamune

Shibuya Crossing is a notable location

Token cutesy girl who emotes excessively, but her most notable character trait is either she can't cook or she eats a lot

Exactly one big muscly guy in the cast of characters, is subject to most gags

"It can't be helped"

Girl name is Shizune

she barely speaks

atrocious story only weebs can enjoy

I will never forgive you!

boss is defeated with the power of friendship

poor optimization, terrible dialogue, god is evil.

*because they stole it off a western composer/producer/band

Ever seen the anime Maison Ikkoku? It's 96 episodes of that happening repeatedly.
And the MC doesn't explain himself ever, if he just explained himself there wouldn't be so many "wacky" misunderstandings.

Absolutely maddening stuff but it's one of the highest rated animes of all time amongst anime weirdos.

Game Title: ORIGINS

A fairy tale game for children with a purposely generic story, solidified your thoughts about it?
You're an idiot, my friend.

Black Souls
Drakenguard
some others

I look forward to your next post, complaining there's no "nuance" and "sophistication" in the writing in the Pokemon cartoon.

scene where the women mistakenly enter the bathhouse during male hours yet it's still the male party member's fault and they never get an apology

This is actually Japan's way of saying women are fucking retarded and won't take any responsibility for anything they do.

There's just something different about the way the japanese build things, different material choices which show up even when they try to make western looking environments.
