Between Breath of the Wild, Yakuza 0, Nioh, Nier Automata, and with Persona 5, Ni No Kuni 2 and Dragon Quest XI on the way, this really feels like the year Japan stopped playing around and just decided to kill western developers already

I can't name a genre I like that Japan doesn't do better. Burnout maybe?

Are there any Japanese RTS games?

they really are making us look like a bunch of clowns this year. mass effect: andromeda was all the clowns crabwalking and mugging as they exited the clown car and dooted around the big top.

Shadow of War will probably be fun as long as you don't get really OP really fast like you did in the first. As excited as RDR2 makes me, all this talk of them taking lots of influence from GTA Online has me worried that it'll end up being a Pay2win grindfest :( everything else is either bland or downright bad. What the hell are we doing LOL

theyre better at making games cause they care more + understand the medium better, maybe

The bulk of western developers, including every AAA dev, have grown increasingly obsessed with either replacing or melding with Hollywood and they don't seem to understand that video games are a completely separate medium from movies/TV and that insane production budgets and A-list celebrity casting is actually detrimental in the long run

I thought the last DLC pack was supposed to be the best part of Skyrim. The one where you go to the island and it's written by the crazy Morrowind writer

Just had a horrifying realization: although Japan delivered an insane amount of earnest GOTY candidates, like Final Fantasy XV, Yakuza 0, Nioh, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata, Resident Evil VII, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and more, all the American GOTY awards are going to go to Bethesda's Wolfenstein sequel so people can use their awards lists/shows as a platform for their tepid political takes fffffffuuuuuuuuu

I do hope it's a vast improvement over the last one, but a Bethesda game getting GOTY awards is just a sickening concept in general. 2011 was a much weaker year than this was but Skyrim getting all the awards still sucked to see

I'm finally wrapping up the story of Yakuza 0 and I just noticed: the in-engine cutscenes will act like normal cutscenes (people just keep talking and the scene continues uninterrupted) but if you press any of the face buttons, the cutscenes will act like a 'classic' cutscene (you have to press x for every new line of dialogue) I've literally never seen a video game do this before. What is this called, and why doesn't every game do it? It's really neat and convenient.
