What's your general opinion on anime games? All shit or are there some good ones out there? As shit as the anime is these Sword Art Online games have been pretty consistent in being decent. The only one's I've played were Hallow Fragment and Sword Art Online vs Accel World, both not bad but not great. Skipped Hallow Realization, Lost Song, and Fatal Bullet. Based on the trailers and gameplay Alicization Lycoris looks like it'll be better than the other games, but I can't say for sure since I didn't play some of them.

They're can be as KINO as any other game! Just because it's based on an existing franchise doesn't mean it has to be bad!

>The only one's I've played were Hallow Fragment and Sword Art Online vs Accel World
I actually thought both of those were dumpster fires. Clumsy, slow combat, a clusterfuck of a menu system, difficulty was based entirely on how badly you were or weren't outleveled… The list goes on. Hollow Realization could have been a legit good game with a little more polish in its collision detection and if it weren't for the "minor" issue of a bug that readily and frequently corrupts your save file if you have the DLC (the DLC accounts for about 65% of the game's content, so the vast majority of people have it). This bug corrupts the backup save in the cross platform save feature, too, and is also present in the Steam version of the game, so if you haven't backed up your data on an external hard drive, kiss your save good bye.
Fatal Bullet managed to be much more competent in both its gameplay and technical issues, but the difficulty spike between the main game and last two DLC packs is pants on head retarded. Also, Sony seems to have pushed the devs to try to twist players' arms into buying PS Live by locking all the best weapons in this SINGLE PLAYER game behind its shitty, tacked on, multiplayer modes. Bonus rage points: you can fill your multiplayer party with NPCs to run it single player, but the menu to do this is locked behind a PS Live subscription. I suppose in current year I should just be glad the single player wasn't the tacked on afterthought, but I'll be damned if I support such shitty business practices.

I seriously doubt that this is the kind of thing you can generalize to "anime games" in general. However, I don't play them. The modern anime aesthetic is basically always turns me off of a game. In fairness, I usually assume a game in this style is a VN and don't look into it.

I still actually haven't finished Sword Art Online vs Accel world. The thing about these games is they're Sword Art Online games, so they're supposed to also feel like an MMO right? For me Hallow Fragment felt a little bit like one. The only real thing I like about Sword Art Online vs Accel World is the music and some of the zones look nice. The combat is eh. The camera sucks. A lot of dungeons look the same. Like Hallow Fragment didn't even feel as copy pasted as SAO vs Accel World did, and I honestly preferred the combat in Hallow Fragment as slow as it felt. The boss fights in it also felt more MMO-like than SAO vs Accel World.

Dragonball Fusions for 3ds was good fun
a young saiyan and a customizable protagonist make a wish on the dragon for the ultimate martial arts tournament. What follows is a 5 on 5 tactical RPG running through various DB locations that have been crammed together as a result of the wish, fighting against a wide variety of originalthecharacters as well as time and dimensional traveling characters from the shows. And then Bulma invents a bracelet based on the potara earrings and fucking anyone can fuse

I have played several video games based off of the Detective Conan series and they've all been bad. The wii game is total trash. The GBC games are decent but nothing special, the first game is pretty straightforward but the sequel isn't worth the bother. The one good thing about the wii game was that it had dual audio.

Alright OP, I've played a few here's my rundown
>Hokuto no Ken: Lost Paradise
Its a yakuza clone set in the Fist of the North Star mad max wasteland but featuring a post-apocalyptic city built around an old world high-tech shelter that provides the food and water. Its a Yakuza clone where you make people explode. Its okay, i'd say, the main appeal is getting really good at exploding people and being a badass like in the manga/anime.
>Attack on Titan/A.O.T.2
Pretty fun where you zip around in the air really fast with your vertical maneuvering equipment. Some people call it repetitive and it sort of is but killing titans in a single well-aimed blow is satisfying enough, though you'll have to do it around 30-50 times per mission which some people might find annoying, I was okay with it since I recognized it as the core gameplay interaction.
>Sword art Online: Fatal Bullet
I knew it was going to be mediocre at best going in but I still went for it since I was looking for a third-person shooter with character customization fix, which I still haven't really found please gib recommendations, the faces are wonky as fuck and the outfits are just that; outfits, not cool looking armors that reflect your progression in the game like I was hoping for. As for how it plays as a third-person shooter, I'd call it middle-of-the-road but I honestly haven't played it beyond the introductory sequence.
Basically the trend here among anime games is that they're typically middling and meant to exploit certain fanbases who will buy anything in the franchise. There happen to be a lot of those kinds of games this generation it seems.

Most Anime games are shit because they're either just self referential or just flash you with tons of unskippable cutscenes mid game. Jojo ASB is the only one I've had any fun with because I got it when the last patch was rolling out with free DLC characters, and even that one is still not as good as a traditional fighting game. HttF is the only one worth playing.

Asking JRPG's to be more like classic WRPG's is like asking a chink to not be subhuman. It's just not possible. The closest they got was the *Souls series. The disparity between Japanese and Western masterpieces in vidya is very large and evident when you think about it.
The west has Deus Ex and System Shock. The east has… Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 7, I suppose. Maybe Earthbound.

That's not really true now, is it? Xanadu Next explicitely tried to copy Diablo II, even if it ended up as something different. Same thing with Shiren, it tried to be Rogue or how about Baroque on the PS2? And its original on the Saturn? PS2 tried to be Rogue but without the turns and in 3D, while the Saturn version tried to be Wizardry without the menus. And so on.
Nips have been doing that shit for very, very long now that it's not exactly surprising. The thing is, a lot of them think of some cool idea because the most overhyped shit game over here has it and think it's the best thing ever and that they can work around without realising that the geniuses who worked in the past aren't even in the industry anymore and that their successors are people like Randy Pitchfuck and Todd. And when the old and new generation of nips tries to create a new wave of games now, they get cucked to hell and back from the shit ideas that come off as pandering. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the prime example and the biggest slap in the face the industry needed.
Think of all the old Nip only masterpieces and start comparing to the western masterpieces of old and you'll see that they aren't as different. Just like the manga of old were closer to franco-belgian comics of old in both storytelling and art instead of the divergent thing they have now.
Assuming you actually play games and aren't some newfag poser around here

except we have had nips make their own versions of classic wrpgs such as an wizardry gaiden, and etrian odyssey which are both pretty damn good im not saying that they should abandon jrpg as a whole nor should they make their games exactly like western rpgs but to bring new ideas and things into the genre. I dont see the harm in them making a game similar to something baldur's gate or icewind dale or even elders scrolls it still possible to make something of a master piece or outperform westerns in the genres they typical make games out of all the time.

I'm not saying Nip games are incapable of being masterpieces, just that the quality ceiling for nip games is lower than the quality ceiling for western games, if that makes any sense. Nip games have taken a clear direction more towards story-telling rather than gameplay (though, western games these days are guilty of the same thing). This wouldn't be a problem if Japanese storytelling was compelling but often it isn't. I'll admit that in terms of visual novels, Japs take the cake and eat it, too. But in genral, Japanese storytelling is cookie-cutter, even back in the glory days. You can almost bet money on a JRPG starring some singular entity having immense power or some evil god (lowercase g) taking over, or there being some scrawny character who is somehow capable of wielding massive weapons. Mecha/Gundam has the same problem. Armored Core is as close as they've gotten to being a more accurate and cool mecha video game series, though it still falls for the same gravity-defying design trope.
I'd also like to see Japs try some more innovate or relatively new genres. Especially nowadays, what Japanese indies put out can basically be summed up into Shoot-Em-Ups, RPG's, or turned-base SRPGs like Fire Emblem or Tactics Ogre. Rarely do I ever see a Japanese RTS/FPS/Adventure Game/Rogueli(t)e. Dungeon Crawlers akin to Might & Magic do exist in Japan, such as Etrian Odyssey, or if you want to be a bit more faithful, something like Nemuru Mayu - but those games are few and far between. Great Japanese dungeon crawlers, even further in between. There are only a few genres that Western game devs don't ever go near, such as Fighting Games or Shoot-Em-Ups.
Again, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but there are many more Western masterpieces in video games (in much more diverse genres, mind you) than Japanese masterpieces.

>Having a hard time getting past Ichigo’s character and pushing forward. He’s written like a Gary Stu.
That's because he is one, and ironically it's not Tite Kubo's fault. The original Ichigo design and concept is out there (iirc, he was originally supposed to be an adult businessman with no hope that almost commits suicide but is stopped by supernatural events) but his editor basically informed him that the protagonist had to be an angsty teenager who can do no wrong. Because reasons.
According to the post-teenager-Ichigo original designs, Bleach was supposed to have ended with the Soul Society arc. But the Editors basically informed Kubo that if he didn't extend it, they would ensure he never got another job in the manga industry again. Kubo's own commentary on Bleach around the Hueco Mundo arc was "It's shit", and his appraisal is accurate.
My Hero Academia was another one that also had editors screwing up a potentially better plot. The plot originally wasn't about high schoolers, or children in general, the author is actually disgusted by the concept of children fighting and hates his own work (and it shows). The plot was originally about a salary-man with no power at all in a world of people with superpowers, a psychological story about being the powerless yet still pushing forward. Same editor as the guy who ruined Kubo's vision for Bleach, by the by.
Long story short, executive/editor meddling often ruins art.

>Having a hard time getting past Ichigo’s character and pushing forward.
Early Bleach (back when it was just urban fantasy and local ghostbusting) was still the best part, as was "five ambulances" street brawler Ichigo. Once he starts turning into a self doubting mess (and repeatedly at that) after Soul Society, he gets pretty annoying, until toward the end they make an entire arc out of just making him miserable. At best, shit should have ended with Aizen, and that should have been much, MUCH sooner than it was. You want something to be grateful of though, consider the fact that the entire series is over, and therefore you're not stuck with eighteen pages a week of extremely bad pacing and at least 2-3 pages being recap each time. There's a reason "nothing fucking happened" was a major complaint back when it was newly releasing.
Overall, Bleach a shit, and you could spend your time much better elsewhere. The openings/endings and OSTs are very good though (but being adaptation exclusive, have nothing do with the quality of the original writing).

There's a couple 2d fighters, an adventure/beat em up for PS1 (sadly untranslated), two musous on PS3 and the newest one on PS4 which is kind of like the PS1 game. I can vouch for ken's rage 1 and lost paradise being good.
There's also that futari wa precure game on GBA (great, >tfw no more good precure games) and ghost sweeper mikami on SNES (pretty fun, the protagonist is cute and she changes dresses on every stage).

I haven't finished the game myself but I do lament that it won't get a followup as the developers intended a trilogy of games.
Combat is servicable but hampered by a clunky camera. Story is gothic horror meets WWII; vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein's monster and zombies. That kind of thing.
Worth a look but only if it's cheap for you to pick up.

It's funny how people bitched about how drawn out the Bount arc was in the anime, but the whole series is way too long. I actually don't mind the story overall, but it should be a lot shorter.

Yeah, it's not like the anime didn't have its own problems, between the sheer amount of filler (like five fucking seasons worth in a sixteen season adaptation; I guess that says something on how often the show's pacing risked catching up), really fucking QUALITY animation/rendering at times, and increasing censorship of blood and gore as it went on.
I really do wish anime adaptations in general would wait until the source series is done or nearly done so as to avoid the typical issues suffered, but unfortunately it seems like there's more profit in capitalizing on early hype, whether it gets fully adapted or not.

Whelp, finished Tokyo Ghoul re. I definitely see why some people hated it now. It basically just devolved into nonstop, hardcore guro, sadism, and torture porn. About the only thing I can say is that at least chapter 125 was nice I guess.

it's as easy taking a fucking break between seasons/arcs, something that some newer anime are actually doing (Boku no Hero Academia, Dr Stone), and something which English language TV figured out decades ago
no more unbroken runs means no need for slogs through filler, minimal burnout, and actual merit in catching up to the source material as you can plan with the author when the arc ends and the animators can take a break/work on other projects while he whips up new material

Game of Thrones begs to differ (though that's over-rated normie trash). Most of the time, English language media just outright goes with it being an inspiration and deviates right out of the gate instead of making proper adaptations.
That said, I sorta appreciate the worst case example of this that was later fixed: Fullmetal Alchemist. I like the way the '03 series contrasts the better Brotherhood series, especially in relation to Scar ('03 had him continue down his path of vengeance, while Brotherhood looked towards redemption).

>worst case example
actually that's probably the best case example for a deviation; they worked with the author to develop the entire alternate plot of the first series
early Brotherhood is paced in such a way as to assume familiarity with the original, and your best bet for perfect emotional impact and faithfulness to the story is to go with the first series up until the plot splits and switch to Brotherhood from that point

Yeah, but then you can wind up with shit like Index having, what, seven years between the second and third seasons, and having to pace shit be seasonal instead of just making a continuous tale and giving everything as long as it really needs.

that's what risks catching up which in turn necessitates filler
a classic example: Rurouni Kenshin was catching up so they went and did the Kyoto arc and never returned to the main plot before cancellation

It's just that Brotherhood is better. It's a lot easier to go from good to best, than to go from best to good, especially if you're using FMA as an anime introductory series.

Either this is bait or you don't know shit.
I'm not going to be a weeaboo faggot defending the glorious nip overlords against the ebil westerners,but saying that their games tend to be shit is absolute bullshit.
>Story telling rather than gameplay
Stop pretending that Final Fantasy is the only JRPG franchise existing. And even in FF there are three games that are way more gameplay focused than plot (3 and 5).
But as I was saying,FF is just the most normalfag tier series around,more or less the FIFA of JRPGs. Fuck,just think about the series FF copied,Dragon Quest,and you'll find amazing games with a rock-solid combat system (if you don't think DQV is a masterpiece you clearly haven't played it).
You have the whole Shin Megami Tensei series,EXTREMELY different gameplay wise from DQ,along with its spin-offs (Devil Survivor,Raidou and DDS are all worth it).
What about Valkyrie Profile? Parasite Eve? Grandia? Lunar? Suikoden? The fucking mario RPGs? Romancing SaGa?
And those are all basic bitch titles. Don't act like an expert when you're ignorant in the matter.
>You can almost bet money on a JRPG starring some singular entity having immense power (…)
<Cliches only exist in JRPGs
>There being some scrawny character who is somehow capable of wielding massive weapons
Again,stop pretending that FF is the only series existing (by the way,even in FF Cloud is the only character wielding a giant sword up to the 10th game,so you're wrong even on that).
>Mecha/Gundam
Gundam is not the only mecha you know.
You're talking with a /m/ faggot here.
Just see the difference between Patlabor,Tetsujin 28,Gundam 079,a random Macross series (not Robotech for the love of God) and GaoGaiGar.
>Armored Core is as close as they've gotten to being a more accurate and cool mecha videogame series
<mecha
<accurate
Also this is just a matter of taste,if you like bulky mechs it doesn't mean that all other mechas are shit. Especially when some great games like Macross VFX2,Zone of the Enders 2,Bangai-O and Assault Suit Valken exist and feature quick mechas.
I love Battletech too by the way,but don't pretend that western mecha games aren't all "realistic" simulators.
>I'd like to see Japs try some more innovative or relatively new genres.
This is the wrongest thing you posted.
Leaving aside VNs,there are a fuckton of JP Adventure games,like Cing's titles (Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory are the best ones),Zero escape (ZTD doesn't exist),Phoenix Wright,Professor Layton,Famicom Tantei Club, Metal Slader Glory and the least goes on.
For roguelites/roguelikes you have Chunsoft that almost develops only them. And there are plenty of more obscure ones,like Cave Noire or Azure Dreams.
Also you're leaving out all of those games that are hard to describe in a genre,like Katamari Damacy,Trauma Center,Harvest Moon,Monkey Ball,Cubivore,Stretch Panic and shit.
>>16903962
>There are only a few genres that Western game devs don't ever go near,such as Fighting games
What the hell is Mortal Kombat then?
By the way,Jap horror games are miles better than western. Fatal Frame is enough.
West v East war is something that only idiots try to fuel,as they both have A LOT of masterpieces and what fucking matters is if the game's good or not.
Please refrain from posting shit like this,and instead go to play some good games.

Which is why if they actually care to make a proper adaptation from a manga, LN, or VN, wait until the work's done or almost finished. But no. Either it gets adapted in full with bad pacing (in either direction), gets episodes if not seasons of filler, an anime original ending/plot, or just gets dropped. And that's not getting into the 11-13 episode "adaptations" that intentionally only cover the early parts of the work, are rarely continued, and effectively just serve as advertisement for the original format rather than to actually bring the work to a different medium. Part of why I when it comes to anime I prefer watching series originally made for that format.
Oh, and about Index: the "Old Testament" (IE: first series) of the light novels had its 22nd and final volume released in Japan by October 10th, 2010. Season two of the anime saw it's first episode air out there only two days prior that. JC Staff was NOT hurting for material to adapt by that point, assuming they were to focus strictly on OT. And even then, season two and three would up pretty bad as adaptations compared to the first season.

The only point that was brought up that wasn't sperg bullshit was about how Japan doesn't do all genres.
For example, I can't think of a Japanese FPS. I'm sure there are some niche titles, but while we can compare western RPGs to Japanese RPGs, we can't do the same of all genres.

I think there was a first person brawler from Japan in the PS2, but that's about it. Resident Evil 7 is also technically an FPS, even though it's only because of the first person view and not the gameplay itself.

Doing a quick check, it seems there's a Metal Jacket for the PS1, but it was a first person mech shooter. Also a licensed Gundam shooter on the PSP (also mecha, obviously). But yeah, doesn't seem especially common, compared to them just bringing western developed ones overseas.

From what I heard the anime is meant to advertise the manga, so that's why they do a few episodes, to give consumers a "taste" of the story/characters, and once the anime is over, they will go and buy the manga volumes.

Long-running adaptations of manga that have to insert filler to avoid catching up to the manga are a small, small minority of anime. Anime has always had shorter runs than American TV.
>>16904383
The studio gets its funding and marching orders from the production committee.
>>16907642
It all depends. The publisher benefits when people are given an incentive to buy the manga or novels, but publishers aren't the only ones who fund anime and not every adaptation is even the publisher's idea. They do profit from the anime too, so making more anime is also beneficial to them.
Making a one cour series is also less riskier. If it fails it's not such a big loss, and if it succeeds you can make more of it later.
