>While Japan is not normally known for being receptive of first-person shooters, Shadow Warrior marked the first game in the genre to be well received in the country owing to the familiar oriental themes.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:31:59 2017 No.4279935 I think FPS have caught on well enough over there now. I seem to remember a sort of reverse-weeb movement from there, calling on them getting a Modern Warfare title in original English.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:43:37 2017 No.4279972 >>4279924 I'd like to see a source for that. Japan is known for hating fps games and Shadow Warrior isn't exactly an entry level game into the genre.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:44:46 2017 No.4279975 >>4279972 Japan's favorite FPSes are Doom, Goldeneye, Overwatch, and kolean free-to-play crap.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:45:51 2017 No.4279979 I love Japanese site 'IYAPOPO'.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:46:51 2017 No.4279981 >>4279965 That's the plot to Deus Ex, right?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 23:05:15 2017 No.4280029 >>4279975 Yeah, maybe so, but I want to see where OP got this idea about Shadow Warrior being popular in Japan. This is one of the least likely fps games to get any following there.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 23:35:01 2017 No.4280074 >>4279975 DOOM must've been at least moderately popular in Japan for a time, since even over there it was released for a variety of platforms, just like in the west.

I don't know anyone in Japan that plays first person shooters at all. Most of them think that games like Doom are too graphic and scary to play. First person shooting games are not popular unless it's something that is mech-based, but this is starting to change as more and more first person western games are starting to become popular over there (Call of Duty, Skyrim, etc.)

Just to add, if you're American you should consider yourself lucky that you get the best of both worlds, it's actually not uncommon to go to a game shop in Japan and have them offer you only Japanese games with a limited, if any, selection of Western games.
