because nobody with actual skill tried. everything up until now has been half assed ripoffs by talentless hacks

The west barely knows proper animation techniques and they unironically think stuff like instant weapon switching is too "video game'y" and shit like that.

The Ratchel segments in Sigma geniunely makes it a lesser game.
Blake Cooper
The Rachel segments in Sigma make it a vastly superior game

Not him, but just:

The best western action games that come to mind is random stuff like Oni, Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, the first... third of Severance: Blade of Darkness. Western action games either skimp on having aggressive enemies (see: most hack n slashes/brawlers) and/or give players too many options to respond with enemies having counterplay (see: FEAR or Max Payne's slow-mo. Or Severance's special attacks.).
Or not enough options to respond (Zeno Clash's melee). It's a delicate balance.
I don't think it's culturally inherent, though, there's so few action games worth mentioning. Across any genre or region.
