Also I have to add that since open world "JRPGs" have existed since at least the NES/Famicom, the idea that it defies all logic for Japanese people is one of the dumbest stereotypes I've heard yet. Just because you don't play open world JRPGs doesn't mean they don't exist.

do you have a list of PS4 games?

I'm kinda curious

https://sakidori.co/article/223894

I don't want to go through and translate it all, but some obvious ones at the start like Call of Duty Warzone and Doom Eternal.

That's a really great site by the way. I collect physical games and I use it to help me find retro games I might not have heard of that are worth checking out. I have discovered some really good games from there.

Also in general I really hate how Japan gets stuck with these stupid nationwide stereotypes based on some strawman while everyone in the West gets to be an individual. What if everyone assumed all Americans were a confederate flag waving redneck NASCAR "fan" (I realize NASCAR and many fans don't support those things, my point is it's a dumb stereotype)? I mean how stupid would that be?

I find this hard to believe. there was a famous article I remember about the Japanese not even understanding how to play an Elder Scrolls game because the concept of free open world defies all jrpg logic

First result from searching for famous games for PS3 (PS3 ):
https://sakidori.co/article/343590

Last of Us
Dead Island
Minecraft
Heavy Rain
Wind's Travelers (I think this was called Journey in English or something)
Skyrim
Fallout: New Vegas
GTA V
Far Cry 4
Assassin's Creed 4
Borderlands 2
Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
Battlefield Hardline
FIFA
Need for Speed

Man that sure is a lot of Western games on that list (pretty much even with Japanese games on that list).

doesn't Japan tend to totally shun any western games?

Not at all. Some of the most popular games here are Western games (Minecraft, Hearthstone, Overwatch, PubG, Oblivion, Fallout, etc.). This is one of those made up things people on the internet like to say about Japan, of which there are tons.

Games discount very quickly here in general. But it likely isn't selling well if it happened this fast. I remember Left Behind, that shitty Front Mission spinoff was less than 1000 yen for a new copy in a matter of months.

Grinding is largely the point of the game. You kill a monster over and over to get parts to make better equipment to kill stronger monsters over and over for the same reason. That's the game.

because had they tried to invade england it would have been a catastrophe, and it'd lose them the war.

I don't think they ever intended to do such a thing (it was a bomb them into submission strategy), but yeah the vast, vast majority of their troops would have died before making it to the shore. The relative small size of the UK, air and naval superiority, and favorable geography basically made it impossible. Even the planned invasion of Japan by the US predicted a million dead and that was with absolute naval and air superiority against a bombed out husk of a nation.

I mean at the start of WWII the USSR was allied with Hitler and invaded Poland and split it with them. They traded with and supported each other until Hitler invaded the USSR.

I think most people who study the situation agree that regardless of the other mistakes Hitler made (invading the USSR, declaring war on the US) it wasn't possible for them to successfully invade the UK because they lost air superiority rather early on before those other aspects became a factor, and as revolutionary as the V2 was it didn't do much damage, especially compared to the cost. His frustration with the situation versus the UK contributed to his poorly planned invasion of the USSR.

Yeah I always find the arguments on "it needs difficulty modes" disingenuous because it isn't actually that hard. We're not talking like NES games with pixel perfect jumps and twitch reflexes, it's a game that you use patience and learning to overcome. There is a video of a bedridden elderly Japanese man playing Dark Souls. He can't get out of bed, his hands more slowly and yet he can beat the game because he can be patient and learn how to overcome different enemies/bosses.

Living in Japan and watching people freakout is wild. We don't have to stay at home, we can go to restaurants, bars, whatever. We go to work normally, we never had a lockdown, less than 1000 people died. And you know what we do even though it isn't required? Wear masks. It's mind-blowing people are this far removed from reality.

I can't speak for spanish (though I imagine it's at least similar) but in french you also have feminine/masculine nouns. And they clearly have something to do with gender, because if you use an adjective to describe a noun, the adjective ending often changes based on the gender of the noun. and it changes in the same way it would if you were using that adjective to describe a female/male person as well

That's where the naming came from for grammatical gender. The problem is words are arbitrarily one gender or the other, there is no consistency between languages, and the number of genders also varies (1-5, some say up to 8 in some languages). You end up with stuff like Polish having country names for countries that are feminine, masculine, or neuter and if you tried to find some kind of pattern based on social gender you would go mad. It's simply an aspect of language that got stuck with an unfortunate name. And even French has words that are clearly masculine/feminine socially, but have the opposite gender grammatically.

As I mentioned earlier grammatical gender is a concept attached onto the language by linguists. It doesn't have to do with the modern way we use gender. A word in Spanish having a masculine or feminine ending does not mean it is related to that gender in the modern social sense of the word. Again see feminino.

Gotcha. The game play is pretty boring so far too, with just auto attacking beating almost everything. But that's to be expected as it's still the beginning of the game.

I played through it on the highest difficulty that doesn't instant game over you (so the second highest I guess?) if you die and instead lets you restart on that floor. I figured reducing the tedium was fair since it wouldn't actually make the fights easier. That said the game was still really easy and I rarely died, so I imagine the lower difficulties are extremely easy.

Yeah man the most prestigious scientific journals say they work but according to you only non-scientific sources say that. That the countries that have used them from the start have the death rates 1/100th of the West and just happen to have a mask wearing culture are nothing but coincidences. Why are Westerners so obsessed with hating masks? What is even the benefit of pushing this conspiracy?

The term gender comes from linguistics and was only used to describe people in the 60s/70s in America and spread from there. The idea that gender in terms of linguistics is somehow related is kind of sad.

Just as an example for those who don't understand. The word feminine in Spanish is feminino, a masculine word ending. Obviously the gender labels aren't related to the words meaning. These are linguistic labels, not some kind of gender code in the modern Western society sense of the word. And some gendered languages have 5 genders. It's just really unfortunate the labels are what they are, because they were added later, not inherent to the languages.

Most scientists knew masks worked. Early on Nature published a paper on the effectiveness of masks against Coronavirus from University of Hong Kong. This was before it became a big problem in most of the West. The anti-mask thing wasn't coming from scientists actually studying the virus, it was coming from Western culture. The belief in Western superiority cost a lot of lives, because the idea that the things East Asian countries are doing might actually work was too much to accept. They even claimed Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. were lying about their numbers and secretly had tons of dead people. It wasn't until recently that they've finally begun accepting they actually did things effectively, but studies have been coming out this entire time on the effectiveness of masks.

If this was Europe or New Zealand or Canada or Australia or Japan this man would be in prison and not dead, these cops would still be on the force.

I don't know about those other countries. But cops here in Japan do not carry tasers. In general cops here try to avoid any kind of violent confrontation. As such they have the lowest or one of the lowest levels of police deaths depending on what you look at. America has over 200 times the rate of police deaths.

Time to privatize the police and let the corporations fill in the void.

That would probably result in a much more responsible force because they would have the same rights and standards of behavior as normal citizens. They couldn't just murder someone and expect no consequences. Security guards are already held to that standard.

Remember when these people who want no consequences for speech lost their shit over a black man kneeling to protest police violence and they even had their dear leader calling for them to boycott the NFL? Man they wanted him fired and worse just for kneeling. But if someone says hate speech against a minority they want no consequences, if anything they want to promote them.

I mean when you use a word like right you will attract a philosophical discussion about it. I don't get why people want to call it a right so badly. Most countries with healthcare systems those people want for the US don't call it a right. It really doesn't matter, so if you push for it to be called a right don't act shocked a debate breaks out about the philosophical underpinnings instead of the practicality of your proposed healthcare system.

That is entirely disingenuous. 7-9 make sense perfectly fine.

You're making extremely hyperbolic arguments. It's not trolling, nor is it disingenuous. They had no idea what story they were trying to tell and it really shows. That's not even controversial, it's outright stated they didn't have a vision and intended to just have three separate directors do whatever they wanted. That JJ managed to make it even less coherent after returning is amazing.

Anyone who doesn't say the Prequels are just fucking trolls.

Episode 2 is basically horrendous besides one tiny little bit at the end. Episode 1 only has Duel of the Fates and the pod racing. Episode 3 is fine.

1 and 2 are stunningly bad. Hate on 8 if you want it isn't anywhere near as bad as 2. 9 is not great, but 1 is worse.

I disagree. 1, 2, and 3 told a coherent story very poorly. 7, 8, and 9 were completely incoherent and disconnected when taken as a whole and no amount of good acting or directing can save that.
