It's a different style, you faggot. Just as anime is different from western cartoons. If you don't like it then don't play it, but some people do enjoy it and they will play it.

>anime is gay as fucking shit

ummm putting my penis into feces and literally having penetrative coitus with it is not gay hth

Why can't the games co-exist?

Your question should be "Why don't they make more games like the Souls series?

The answer to that would be: it might not be as profitable because it's still niche.

>>182095169 (OP)
>comparing 2 different genres
yeah...

But when jap devs make jap games they're main market is, well, japs.
And all of that stuff sells in japan.

Personally, I'm not that big a fan of Japanese games, besides stuff like first-party Nintendo games, or the main Pokemon games. I don't think the games are bad, far from it. Just not my cup of tea, but to each his own

People are going to rage out at you, but I agree.

If everything was the same then what would the point of having more than one game per genre even be?

Cartoony things (because this is what you're talking about) are just another flavor out there,

>make games that I like
>don't make games that I don't like

If you don't like the game, don't play it. Different people like different games. The Souls games exist, and these 'anime' games exist, and that's why. People like both.

Stop being such a huge faggot.

>>182096858
The thing is, anime is juvenile and insipid. In a game like Souls, shit feels like it matters. When I swing my weapon, I better be damn sure I won't be vulnerable. I have to commit to my actions. In these anime games, you don't. Swing a sword and become vulnerable? Oh, don't worry, just cancel into an escape or another move. There's no real sense of consequence in games like that, unless you beat the game and then have to play in the "hard mode", which is always "if you get hit once, you die". That's not a challenge, it's lazy.

Only Raiden and Hayabusa manage to escape this at least, but their fighting antics tend to look stupid. Launchers and juggles have to be some of the worst looking mechanics in a combat system in gaming, it looks so fucking bad.

>>182095169 (OP)
But anon, Dark Souls is also inspired by anime/manga. So you're probably just a retarded faggot.

It is impossible to argue against OP because he has already made up his mind ala Anita and cannot be called to ever think that he is wrong. He is a tumblroid, incapable of hearing or arguing any point different than his own because he has been conditioned to believe his point is Absolute.

So let's talk about something else.

>>182097954
Let's talk about how OP is a huge faggot that loves the nigger dick.

>>182097848
Why would I play anything other than Dark Souls? Its the perfect game. The story is the better than any anime shit games can come up with. The combat system is flawless, you have to think about everything you want to do before you do it and can't just spam dodge and get away without a scratch.

>>182097546
You're not honing any awareness or reflexes in these anime games. The combat is done in such a way to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Want a perfect example? Ever play the Sengoku Basara series?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPdkDOt_uw4

People see that junk and think "omg it looks so badass and cool wowwwwwwwwwwwww!" It's michael bay movies in game form. Just take some junky anime design, like guy with spiky hair in leather outfit with red tinted shades and 2 katanas and 5 guns, then have him fight like 50 guys at once and send them flying into the air anytime he so much as moves a muscle. Add metal or rock or techno music. Idiots then eat the shit up. Meanwhile games like Souls end up niche because "it feels boring, my character can't do sick air combos and shit like that other game can!"

It's so fucking sad.

OP once again proving his faggotry. Thanks for that.

The best games are ones that don't base their themes on their own nation.

I just wish more games would make it really feel like you hit the guy, like in Monster Hunter.

>>182098096
Sengoku BASARA is an EAGS game, which different from a character action game like MGR or DMC3. Please stop sucking so many cocks.

>>182097657
No, I hated DmC, because guess what? DmC looks and plays like an anime. Donte still air juggles and launches and hits people a bajillion times a second, just now he gives people the finger as he does it. Same shit. I think of DmC as fake western anime, akin to shit like Avatar.

>>182097776
No, the present has 3 or 4 good anime per seasons instead of 3 or 4 bad ones.

>>182095169 (OP)
>Bayonetta
>DMC
>Ninja Gaiden
>Anime styled and no strategy involved
I love Dark Souls, but come on man. These games are the gods of action, and not a single one is anime styled, unless you're talking about the original Ninja Gaiden.
Also, there are games like NMH that even play on the fact that Americans love anime girls. You just need to lighten up and broaden up.

>>182097584
It's a little girl being shot in several extremely violent, unrealistic ways. It's the definition of edgy.

>Just make one type of game from now on because I like that one type of game

You dingus. Variety is good for video games. If every game played like Dark Souls, then Dark Souls wouldn't be special and you wouldn't give a shit about it.

There is room for more than one genre, you halfwit.

Jesus christ how horrifying. That stage is truly the worst in the game and it's a real shame. Masamune is their flagship on the basara franchise and they gave him the shittiest themed stage. Thankfully the special Masamune stages (where you're Yukimura vs him) are glorious and almost make upf or it.

I think i know OP's problem. They can't handle games with combat at above 20 frames per second.

The games are about stringing together combos and having fun doing it. Its challenging to string together huge combos that get the most score. You should go play DMC without easymode on and try to SSS everything.

>>182098786
Or maybe because you're on /v/ where people have massive Toonami-induced bias on anime?

>>182098575

agree i dont understand what fun is too mate :L

My main gripes about Japanese games are that they try too much to show off. It's something that shows both in the design and the writing, it's like a joke that gets set up for fifteen minutes and then at the payoff an orchestra starts playing and fireworks explode.

It's not always annoying, but sometimes I feel like they should just tone it down a bit.

Dark Souls combat is shit though. And I like Dark Souls.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. So what if someone does something you don't like? It doesn't affect you. Are you autistic?

>>182098876
I don't like CoD at all though. or Michael Bay shit. That's the point.

This man understands. It's like, take a design in Dark Souls, and a battle. You can have a knight who may seem generic, normal armor a knight would wear with no frills, but he's strong and experience and has seen combat. He gets into a fight with a basilisk, and he dodges, weaves in and out, and tries to avoid the beast's attacks, as he lays down his own precision strikes like a surgeon.

Then you take these anime games, where a typical character is some guy or girl with spiky SSJ hair, leather fetish clothes covered in belts and spikes, and they have like a fucking giant bastard sword bigger than their body and two gun katanas, and like 4 pistols, and a shotgun and other shit hidden, and a typical fight is them fighting like 500 guys as they run along the walls doing that dumb anime "sharp tooth grin face" and instakill the whole army as they do a badass pose.

While I'll admit Dark Souls has a more weighty, visceral feel to the combat, as a huge fanboy of Dark Souls, it gets fucking old, fucking fast. Dark Souls has shallow, repetitive and fundamentally broken combat OP. Stop sucking its cock. MGR doesn't feel like every hit is a bone breaker because it's a genre of game that's supposed to encourage you to hit the enemy a bazillion times, and at the very least MGR's combat manages to remain entertaining on its own merits for far longer.
