>japanese companies make better series inspired by Europe, European mythologies and gameplay that shits all over literally every WRPG ever FromSoft with Soulsborne, Capcom with Dragon's Dogma. How fucking embarrassing for these self loathing Western devs.
If you disagree you're a moron, and I'll mark a spot on your map to the nearest noose and add in a notification telling you you're close.

No I actually agree, western devs are much too scared to do anything too European and have gameplay that's too difficult and not as handholdy. You will literally only ever see this type of shit from Japanese companies as modern western devs will outright refuse to risk offending in anyway.
KCD did it better. fromsoft games are interesting because they mix buddhism/shinto with western aesthetic
Chase Robinson
Souls games are more or less an incoherent mishmash of themes and ideas. It somehow works because the Japanese understand aesthetics, but it doesn't do the various European cultures justice.
Juan Parker
These games are absolutely full to the brim with Japanese writing tropes. They had to hire a western writer to finally break away from that
Brandon Watson
I didn't think KCD was very good (personal taste, don't chimp out, I'm sure it's an actual good game), and it's also not so much mythology rather than just a straight up medieval RPG.
Jacob Jackson
Honestly, I don't like Elden Ring's visual design. It's more generic fantasy than fantasy Europe.
Easton Taylor
Sekiro is the fucking best, though.
Dylan Murphy
The thing is inspired by Europe. If you know anything about medieval history, you'd see how they just mishmash everything into this game that looks cool without any thought put into it. At the same time westerners made ghost of Tsushima, which is not only historically accurate, but also a highly acclaimed title by the Japanese.
Sebastian Myers
Ghost of Tsushima is Dark Souls in reverse

>inspired by Europe, European mythologies As a german I feel insulted. Do you (American?) think that’s what our history and mythology is like?
Thomas Bell
There's literal comparison screenshots that show they based Anor Londo off of actual cathedrals and forts, though. It's all intentional, it's not like they're trying to make a french or celt or nord only game, they're creating really nice combined packages through studying gothic and european architecture in general.
No one cares about Germany, you fags lived in mud huts anyways until the romans and frenchies civilised you, then the hungarians had to keep you under a whip. now you're just a bunch of sexually ''liberated'' weirdo manlets with cities full of refugees. this too, germans invented scat porn. fucking lol @ krauts.
it's how poltards speak nowdays. theyve been bullied by darkies online saying white people have no culture. so american whites culture is now "european" culture in their newspeak. lol

>japanese sell archaic software to consumers that think anything outside of their bleeding edge engines are exotic and special despite them being the same games they played when they were children with no improvements to any mechanics
Jordan Walker
haha, no. Pretty much anyone but Germany. Britain, Spain, Italy more like.
It's not because they are scared to do anything "too European" it's because they narrow the focus to a specific culture. Whereas the Japanese take aspects of many things and keep it largely vague so it's only recognizable as "broadly European". It's a bastardization and you're celebrating it just because it's Japanese.
But the gameplay part is true.
Brandon Collins
add Russia too, there's a lot of russian orthodoxy inspiration for cathedrals along with roman catholic shit.
