They don't Pika, but Korean MMO is a genre

JRPGs are called something different because they ARE DIFFERENT

JRPG is a genre

Well, that is equally retarded as JRPG

But Japanese FPS are the same as Western FPS

So their's no distinction

yeah, then seeing the J tag would give you no extra information

It's because they're different styles and types of games, the J tag can be appended to many things, but when combined with RPG it's different

That's the thing

but for JRPGs, seeing a J next to an RPG does signify difference

I just like labels to be broken down

If I were to say J FPS, it's just a japanese FPS, but if I added RPG it's a different thing

I can gain the same information from seeing J, and RPG as I can with JRPG

Tags are already autistic and useless

Oh I agree with that too spooky

would you like us to seperate it: J, R, P, G,

But I'm fine with there being broad genres

Basic concepts not letters Kappa

I'd rather make broad claims about "rock" music

uh

RPG is broad, it can cover Japanese and western games.

Than have to explain the 50 different autistic flavours

no pika, because the japanese ones are different

hence you add a J tag

then anyone looking at the tags will know, hey, this is going to be different

yeah but if you add a J tag to an FPS it means almost nothing

so why make the J tag at all

JRPG is already worthless if we include pokemon and octopath in the same catagory

RPG has that same problem though

"action" ha that same problem

New idea, how about we ditch words altogether, and just colour code everything

roll to die

/r d20

@Rusp: d20 = (11) = 11

Yes, which is why we need fundamental tags.

"FPS" has that same problem

Would you like to play a red game or a blue game

red please

Pika then we'd have like 90 tags on games

and no "key words"

I am fine with that

Pika, let's just make everything on a colour spectrum

Key words are important

it is the only way tags would be valuable

where's fire when you need him

That way, we can have infinite tags

then how would game devs describe games

with a series of tags

like 50 tags?

sure

In an advert

Pika, how do you classify music genres?

you think that's reasonable

instrumental, vocal, basic things of such nature

Ah yeah my game is a semi action adventure roleplaying move your character virginia sleeping eating over the shoulder gamewith a soundtrack

So... you have two classifications?

no, I gave two examples

yeah

he has 3

come on spooky

again, this is just an autistic preference of mine

Pika general tags exist with broad terms like those so it's easier for consumers to acquire and see what they like

Yes, and consumers are retarded and can't deal with more than 5 tags

I find that the more specifications you give genres, the more worthless they become

Tag shit to your hearts content

See, Pika likes those doujins that tag every little thing

But if you can't agree on the general feel or mechanics of a game (which is what genres are) then you need to rething how it's designed

Yeah, I do

every relevant thing

If they sneak a condom in there without it being on the tags

pika is pissed

I bet pika has a lot of objections with the "gently-used" tags

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have never seen that tag

tbh
