I have no idea why either are popular...
Japanese games are quite popular on VGC for some reason.


You are kidding right....please tell me why you are joking >:(!?


Nope, I'm serious. I'm not a fan of either.

Because watching Goku shoot off a Kamehameha or Fuu look for her father are completely different from the experience you get from Dragon Quest.

Now, people who like anime but don't like anime based games....that's confusing. They tend to, critically, suck, but they're made specifically for the fans of the shows. If you watch Naruto and don't like Ultimate Ninja Storm, you're weird



because a lot of them is not localized, or being made. /thread

but that is going to change.

I honestly don't think the answer is that simple. Nearly all of the things that draw people to one of the two exists in both. To say you like one while hating the other is contractidory if you like the two mediums as a whole (Television/movies and video games).

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Most gamer's in REAL life don't care much for either, OP ...

Once again you make another assertion without any sort of viable data ...

Internet Gaming Community =/= Gaming Consumers ...



You watch anime (don't do anything) where you have to play games (requires grinding, usually) ?

Its personal preference. I mean I'm into Anime but not into Collecting Figurines or Gunpla.

I have friends who do all 3 hobbies (anime, gaming and collecting) while some only watch anime (or only buy anime related games).

Edit: Oh yeah, I also rarely buy Anime Related Games.

First off, let's take out the hate part, because nobody mentioned anything about hating either. 

Now, nearly all of the things?  That is a pretty vast overgeneralization.  There may be some similarities or there may not be depending on the particular game and anime.  Something like Serial Experiments has very little in common with a game like Splatoon.  

I don't what "all of the things" are, but there are many things that are in one that are not necessarily in another.  Can you compare the storytelling of something like Death Note to the storytelling in Kirby's Epic Yarn?  The art style of Dragon Ball Z to the art style of paper Mario?  Did you get stuck on the fight between Goku and Vegeta when you were watching Dragonball Z because you couldn't beat it?  Did you have to grind in Naruto?  (Well maybe all that filler could be considered grinding).  

I could go on, but that'd be pointless.  People like things for all different reasons.  Just because I like Japanese games does not mean I have to like Anime even if they have some similarities (and no they do not have nearly all of the same qualities).  Liking one anime doesn't even mean I have to like any other anime.  They're different things.

I like DBZ but I haven't bought a DBZ game since the first one on Wii.  I like the story (leave me alone!) but I don't actually want to be Goku.  I just like his adventures.
