I'm generally not a fan of western styled games. While Breath of the Wild has taken some inspiration from them, it's still not suffering from the problems I have. I don't like many (not all) western styled games because they're made by western developers, but because of certain characteristics which are common among them.

Isn't Metroid Prime developed by Retro Studios, a western development studio?

Nintendo games lake games from western developers, but I only see minor disinterest at worst when they come to Nintendo platforms.

I don't hate all Western games, I just don't like certain design trends and philosophies you tend to see in big AAA efforts. BotW has almost none of the issues I tend to associate with Western open-world games, either.

There isn't much in BOTW that wasn't in a Zelda game before.

And that's ignoring that you're pretending the Nintendo fanbase is a hivemind and using the opinion of like two people to justify it.

I have read stuff like "why does x nintendo console has no x western game?" and the answer of the board is "x western game SUCKS!".

I don't think it would be hate against western games specifically but rather a "we don't have it at hand, therefore it sucks" kind of mentality. However, other board suffer from a similar thing but with a twist. They don't hate on Mario games per se, they just like to say that nintendo should go broke so they can play nintendo games with the consoles they have (PS4/Xbone). 

So, as you can see, I don't think it's... hate but rather them justifying the fact that they don't have these games available.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. 
It's just kids that choose one console and then have to fight to justify that choice, even to themselves. It happens on the other console boards as well, but not quite as much because they have a wider variety of games than the WiiU did/Switch presently does. It comes from a place of not wanting to be wrong and not fully knowing what the other choices are like, like how open world games had no strong appeal for them until BotW did it and now they have it and have experienced it and they're like, "Wow, cool."

Also, Dragon's Dogma makes me bust a fat nut because it plays with the tightness of a Japanese game but uses largely Western/European monster designs. 10/10, best fusion. Get it on PC if you can, if not get it wherever you can.

I'm a Nintendo fan (also a Sony fan) and I friggin love a good western title. Borderlands, Red Dead, Alien Isolation, Dead Space. I could go on.

Switch would do well to grab a few western titles for its library. Dead Space trilogy HD Collection anyone?

bait... topic indeed

no one on nintendo board truely bashes games to most part

tho if you backtrack post you can find trolls trolling on nintendo board
so odds are your talking about a troll who is basicly trying start a community war by acting like their a fan and bashing another game type

thus this topic is still bait as theirs not that many of them and its pretty easy to keep track of them
trolling
apparently unpopular opinion if reported as trolling is trolling on gamefaqs

BOTW isn't what it is because it is naturally inspired by western games. It is what it is because Nintendo consciously decided to toss some western elements in to maybe lure some potentially new fans, and also because of how many ways they've already done Zelda in the past. 


Nintendo will not be supporting western developers much in this gen (per usual), and rightfully so.

This isn't a thing exclusive to Nintendo fans. There's a lot of hate for Western developers on the PS4 boards, too.

Me? Unless it's Bethesda (both as a publisher and developer) or CD Projekt Red, I genuinely don't care for AAA Western games. But I'm also not a fan of a lot of Japanese developers either.

    I do bash some developers regardless of where they're from, but throughout the Seventh Generation (and the current one to an extent) many Western developers/publishers monopolized the industry with their crappy games and practices. Its because of them that microtransactions, day one patches, unfinished products being released, season passes, and all of that nasty stuff became the norm. They promoted all of those practices and were not consumer friendly enough to put an end to that BS. THATS MY ISSUE WITH THEM.

    I don't go out of my way to bash them, but I prefer my games to be more "video gamey" and less cinematic. A lot of western games try too hard to give an "epic story" or "realistic graphics" and that's fine for people that like that, but it's just not my thing.

    There are exceptions to this obviously since I play way too many games of all varieties. For example I really enjoyed Titanfall 2, Injustice, Prey, and Halo 5. (for more recent examples.)

    I don't think it's really "western" games that are the problem. There's good and bad games on both sides.

    Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade may be inspired by Western games, but they're very different from the likes of Skyrim in a lot of ways.

    One of the biggest differences between Japanese and Western games is that Japanese games tend to have much more dynamic and exciting battle systems, while Western games tend to offer more freedom and a larger scope. To see an example of this in action, think of something like Tales of Graces F and Fallout 4. In Tales, you have people stringing together massive chains of flashy moves and limit breaks and dodging all over the arena to avoid getting lasered to death. Bosses in Tales are exciting affairs that sometimes take more than 10 minutes to complete. In Fallout 4, you have an incredibly deep customization system and the game is far larger than any Tales game, but most battles just involve shooting 2 bullets at something, or, for the most dire of situations, opening VATS and using your critical. Sometimes you have to use a stimpak. There's nowhere near the same level of spectacle there.

    What makes Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade stand out is that they offer the best of both worlds. They have the open-endedness and large scope of western games, but without sacrificing the excitement and spectacle of Japanese games. Not coincidentally, I rate both of them highly among the list of best games ever made.

To see an example of this in action, think of something like Tales of Graces F and Fallout 4. In Tales, you have people stringing together massive chains of flashy moves and limit breaks and dodging all over the arena to avoid getting lasered to death. Bosses in Tales are exciting affairs that sometimes take more than 10 minutes to complete. In Fallout 4, you have an incredibly deep customization system and the game is far larger than any Tales game, but most battles just involve shooting 2 bullets at something, or, for the most dire of situations, opening VATS and using your critical. Sometimes you have to use a stimpak. There's nowhere near the same level of spectacle there.

    What makes Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade stand out is that they offer the best of both worlds. They have the open-endedness and large scope of western games, but without sacrificing the excitement and spectacle of Japanese games. Not coincidentally, I rate both of them highly among the list of best games ever made.

    no what killed western rpgs was the forcing first person view, that didnt exist on the true western rpgs when they were good. i mean look at wow, you can see your character and thats why its been making money for generations.


    If you go back far enough, RPGs started with first person dungeon crawlers like Ultima. I don't really think view point is the problem. There are actually quite a lot of awful, generic MMOs from the east that tried to ride off the success of WoW.

    In general though, I'd say the difference in eastern and western attitudes has been that eastern devs treat it like an art and western devs treat it like a business. JP devs envision a game, craft the game that they envisioned as close to perfection as possible, and hope that fans enjoy their vision. Western devs create a product, tailor that product to what they think fans want, and shove in as much content as possible even if it isn't perfect.
