Xbox July event thread

Outside of big brands, Japan hasn’t done much to produce quality titles in years.

He is right on the money. Japanese games are still junk.

Again, you are welcome to share some with us. Until then I will take adverse inference from it.

Well its hard to do that because you say big brands so that is pretty subjective and I have to make certain assumptions about what you think is big so I would say stuff like

Nier
Nioh
Persona
Yakuza

Pretty clearly high quality games

Never thought they looked interesting personally. I tried out Nier since they added it to Game Pass. I was not impressed by it. May go back to it to see if there is more there, but not hopeful. Probably give Yakuza a try as well to see if it is something special.

I love watching anime; I just wish Japan put out more compelling videogames that were fun to play.

To piggy back off of you, some quality not big brands out of Japan off the top of my head:

Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea 5
Ni No Kuni
Any Fire Emblem
Any game in The Legend of Heroes series

There are a ton of quality games coming out of Japan. If they interest you personally, is a whole 'nother story.

The last part of your last sentence describes my tastes. Lol
But that’s what’s great about Sony and even Nintendo. There’s a big market there. It’s just not my cup of tea.
I liked it better in the old days when Japanese games were Ghouls and Ghosts, Contra, Gunstar Heroes and Castlevania.

Whether I or any other person find them interesting is the only story actually. What about them makes them quality games?
