And Now....

RIP INAFUNE - 1965-2016

So many great games and so little time to play them all...

yeap i have zelda, nioh, nier and persona but i'm still here creating this STUPID thread ^-^ ( jk i love everyone )

Yupp... it was obvious that sooner or later the Japanese industry will come surfacing up again. The west is done. Sorry but its true, western games are crap

For the record, my favorite developer is Naughty Dog

There are exceptions of course but roughly speaking I agree with you. And my biggest complaint about them isn't even the microtransactions and season passes. It seems like the majority of Western AAA games nowadays are built around MMO-like structures and I really find them boring and soulless.

If we make Western developers know how much quality decline we think their games have seen, maybe that'll motivate them to improve just like the Japanese developers were motivated by the criticism

OT: Shout-out to Capcom as well. Like Sega, they still struggle a bit but I really enjoyed Resident Evil 7.

U really shouldve included RE7 and Yakuza 0

Well, they were both right at the time.Excluding exceptioms, Japanese gamed in the 7th generation were falling way behind, and leaving alot to be desired.They were losing identity, trying to be like western games, and most of them were simply underwhelming.(FF XIII, RE 6, Capcom games in general)
But I feel like that, since 2015-2016, the japanese videogame industry had a rebirth.So many great games, even some masterpieces, all cramped up in such a small time.Hopefully Japan keeps pushing it!
