The reason why Western games don't sell in Japan is because most western game's storylines suck hippo assholes. Japanese people care about story. If they didn't then rpgs wouldn't be so popualr there. Also, the japanese don't like the mindless violence that western games bring.

Devil May Cry, Onimusha, and Dynasty Warriors beg to to differ.

The number of misguided generalizations being tossed around in this thread is pitiful.

Yeah, this has to be the most ignorant thread I've read in my time as a member of this forum.

Devil May Cry, Onimusha and Dyasty Warriors isn't NEARLY as violent as alot of western made games.

He probably should have underlined only the "mindless" part because I think that's what we was going for.

*insert witty facepalm*

Onimusha, DMC, Shadow of Rome, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, Drakenguard, and Nanobreaker are both over the top action games with plenty of violence and gore. I could go searching for tons more, but regardless the point doesn't have any merit.

 

Not to mention just about every quality fighting game is from Japan.

How are Devil May Cry and Onimusha not as bad as something like God of War?

Have you guys even played Onimusha?

And don't even get me started on stuff like Ninja Gaiden.

I'm going above and beyond the call of duty here.

This makes God of War look like it's for kids.

^ Nanobreaker is one crazy game.

I think the point has been made. The Japanese aren't some morally and intellectually superior race that are above a bit of mindless violence. Both cultures include those with somewhat twisted minds that love a bit of blood, and those that prefer something somewhat more intellectually stimulating.

Besides, Japanese games have tons of perversion in their own way. The west seems to take violence in media better, while the East seems to take sexual things better.

Amen.  Japan gave inFamous a freakin' Z rating just because you can kill civilians

Please stop talking.  Your little cries for attention are getting old.  Its obvious you are the one who hasn't played hardly any western games, and apparently hardly any of the Japanese games you are obsessing about.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

@Kenryuku - wth, take a chill pill... Im not denying Japan doesnt make Violent games nor am saying Onimush&DMC arnt violent, but to compare them to GOW is ridiculous, both series are nowheee near as bloody and gory... seriously your tryin say that these games are on the same lv of violence as GOW?
