Also at this.

The rest, not so much.

I mean I find the typical obscure JRPG fan as strange and creepy as the next guy, but these aren't funny or clever at all. They're just regurgitating stereotypes with poor drawings.

Yeah, this is one of those examples of a type of humor I've been seeing more and more on the net (not to say it doesn't exist elsewhere). I don't really know how to describe it but it's basically a set-up for laughs because you find it funny or laughs because you don't want people to think this applies to you. Anything else and people get all hububby at you about it. It's like pointing at a turtle and calling it a donkey and when the turtle looks at you confused everyone else starts laughing and going "Yeah, you donkey." It's not as offensive as it is confusing.
But I'm possibly just thinking too much.

I see because me stating that a comic strip that is supposedly based around a company that makes dark themed RPG's and called the game's "rainbow colored" and using games from other companys is such nerdy outcry.

Next thing you know they'll make a comic about Nintendo about a kid complaining about a game not having blood and gore as well as him playing the latest version of Sonic.

The nitpicky (but it's Nippon Ichi! Not Atlus!) nature of your post fits the theme of these strips perfectly.

They're painful. I look back on the days when I was somewhat obsessed with Japanese media and it makes me glad I grew out of that phase.

I guess if you're obsessed like the guy in the comics, yeah it's a problem.

Inquisitive obsession is fine...I think everyone needs some kind of obsession going at any given time in their life. There's nothing inherently wrong with being interested in another country's cultural/artistic output.

The jokes here center around the ignorance and stupidity of the characters (and brashness of the style), not because they like anime or japanese stuff.

Generally all of the Atlus fans I know are genuine fans of gaming with eclectic tastes. Which, along with the fact that Atlus is still little known, makes the spoofing in these comics a little premature to say the least. Don't kick the underdog, I always say.

Also, is it wrong that I sort of sympathize with the guy behind the Madden dude? There's more to gaming than Madden, people.

So how long before the escalation starts and we start seeing comics making fun of Western RPG players LARPing and vegetating in front of MMOs?

Some of them were funny, but I've seen better. I don't go to /v/, but its too juvenile for my tastes. I would've probably laughed when I was 13 or something.

I guess I don't understand the point because it is too deep for me to understand?


how is guilty gear not "franchise stuff"? they milk the shit out of it. that's the joke in the comic and why it's kinda hilarious that you sympathize with the GG buyer. madden and guilty gear have similar business plans behind them. yet the kid is knocking the guy for getting suckered into buying madden. it really doesn't matter how big or small a company is, EA and ASW/Sega/whoever the hell owns GG now are treating their customers equally like idiots by releasing incremental upgrades (and downgrades like GG Isuka) every year.


and btw, Atlus is anything but "little known." They're huge in Japan and have a rabid fanbase in the U.S. that buys anything they put out because it might be rare and comes with plastic pendants. Many companies would kill to have that kind of following. If it weren't for square-enix, they'd have the RPG market cornered like EA has the sports market cornered.

Exactly my thoughts. The games they describe aren't even like Atlus (rainbow colors? WTF?) some aren't even by Atlus (Disgaea 3?). Oh and there's the part of them not being the least bit funny.

Last year's Atlus best selling game - Persona 4 - didn't even make the top 10 for one month, I think. IIRC it wasn't even in the PS2 top ten, though I'm not that versed with the sales numbers.

Either way, so much for a) dominating the RPG market when many games - Fallout 3, Oblivion, Mass Effect, Fable 2 and maybe even Too Human - have outsold their best selling title and b) monopolizing the genre along with S-E.

There were quite a few jRPGs last gen that weren't from either Atlus or SE too. Breath of Fire V and Mega Man X: Command Mission, 2 Disgaeas and some other related games, 3 Xenosagas, 2 Ar Tonelicos, 2 Yakuzas (somewhat RPGs), 3 Shadow Hearts, 20355849 Tales of. There's plenty more, I'm sure, and then there are many games that aren't even localized.

Let's troll Atlus and all, but let's not be retarded about it.

I chuckle, although I do think the Madden guy is portrayed too favorably.

Hey, maybe I ought to post some shitty Paint comics about hardcore fans of Western games. The main character could be some fat neckbearded slob in a dirty undershirt, and the comics would focus on his obsession with FPS's, space marines, Tom Clancy, and the color brown. Hell, I could even come up with a 'witty' play on some Western developer's name, like id, and call them 'id-iot comics'. 'It's funny because it's true!', right?

So apparently I'm White. 20 Years Old. Named Nate. Has Short hair. Buys VHS tapes. And is obsessed with Dragonball Z...Jesus you're so wrong.

I'm sorry but the fact that you and others are accusing me of being some "super geek" because for some reason you think I don't like the strips because they "make fun" of Atlus and hurt my feelings since I'm "too into games", when in reality I don't like the strips because they are poorly written and drawn with minimal effort put into them as well as being inaccurate toward what they make fun of (when you make fun of a company it's best to at least use well the company in the comic). But no ignore my comments, nevermind all my comments about this fell into my latter example of me, never mind that I didn't even so much as once didn't say something like "that's not true Atlus and JRPG's aren't like that", no I'm a white supergeek named Nate who is obsessed with DragonballZ that is 20 years old because I stated my opinions on the issue that don't mesh with yours, truly brilliant.

I bow down toward your incredible logic.

Now usually I'd just chuckle at this then close this window and go on about that day. But since apparently I'm not who I thought I am I guess I'm going to cry myself to sleep now on my bed made of Dragonball Z tapes next to my shrine of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne framed and candle lit and all. I must also practice "the force" since my registered religion is Jedi.
