I don't understand it, why do Koreans love Starcraft so much, but the Japanese don't? Is there some cultural thing going on here with the Japanese vs Korean mentality on RTS games that I missed?

>> No.2484779

RTS is too competitive. Let's take it easy and play some turn based vidya instead.

>> No.2484785

I had no idea they disliked it. Isn't it more of an individual thing of what someone likes/dislikes.

It's not just Korea, everyone except you retards hate Japan.
And for a good reason, they're elitist bastards who just can't stop thinking for a second about how GLORIOUS NIPPON is, and they still steal everyfucking piece of technology they see, make some shitty adjustment and claim it's their own.
I hate them so much.

Games in Japanese otaku minds: RPG, Fighting, Shoot'em up, visual novels. No FPSes, no simulations, no RTS/TBS/RTT or other western shits.

Otherwise, it's belong to /v/

Are you fucking kidding me?

The Japanese are gay for train simulators.

It's because someone picked up on it in korea and started marketing it hardcore.

I think you can make this argument about all video games. They're just not as popular in Japan as Korea.

>>2484790
Japanese gamers usually play memorizing games or reflex based games examples being fighters and touhou. I dont really understand what they have against RTS and FPS. I guess it's the mouse and keyboard they dont like it. I mean look at the games they play all of them are arcade stick+buttons or gamepad. Guess games with more then 8 buttons is too much for a Japanese person.

FPS gives them motion sickness. I don't know about RTS. TBS is better, anyway.

>> No.2484913

But Korea is not huge on other RTS games, save maybe some Warcraft 3 tournies. They love their MMOs, but that's pretty obvious.

>> No.2484920

It's a PC game and PC gaming isn't as big in Japan as it is in Korea.

>> No.2484922

How do you Amerifags, the center of capitalism, not figure out the fucking idea that someone marketed shit and it got popular when that happens every day to you? Is it a cultural thing that you guys are morons?

>> No.2484924

>>2484776
Japanese males don't give a fuck about RTS. They are a social people that prefer being lonely and posting video game plays or going onto MMOs with little girls and pretending to be little girls themselves.
The Japanese gamer is either an arcade fag, console fag, or MMO fag. RTS only has place with the older guys and for korea all the little shits are into RTS. Like brazillians, they feast off the slight victories they can get.

Who in here is still watching the Averatec Intel Classic tournaments, I still have a massive erection over July's game a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe the Japs just got bored of it. I mean, it's an old as hell game.
I used to be a tourneyfag and played starcraft for several years pretty seriously, but even I got sick of it.
Koreans seem to be immune to boredom. Prolly that's why they play the same game for years, like starcraft and infinite grindan mmorpgs.

These. Koreans LOVE repetitive games; why else would they make all those MMO's that require you to grind endlessly to progress? And Japan tends to be a bit snobbish about games that aren't made in Japan. Not to say that foreign games can't have some success there, it's just harder to market them.
