When is the west going to catch up? 2019 has been a dire year for western games. Trash like Control, Gears 5 and Anthem - all the same basic TPS. Wow, very cool western devs

Yuropeen indies have a soul that is impossible for anyone else to duplicate.

Bad game soul
Stalker is great, but it's old as fuck - and Euros aren't making games like that anymore.

I have also personally come to accept that Japan is the future of gaming. But raises a point in that the indie dev scene (in the west in general) is really booming right now. Most indie games don't have what i'm looking for in a full game experience though. The japanese still manage to put SOUL into their AAA games.
John Carter
stalker isnt an indie. it was a mega AAA game. also its made by slavs. and let me say one more thing, slavs still make decent games. they are just niche compared to stalker, cdpar garbage, and shit.
i solely play japanese and slav games, and some latin/asian indie games like va 11, pato box. anglo games are mostly garbage and absolutely soulless. although you can find out a very few gems with no reviews on steam.

Look mom I posted it again :DDD

West has Quake East has Metal Gear Solid
It's a tie
Gabriel King
>West has Quake
Good 90's series, didn't last after that
>East has Metal Gear Solid
Constant reinvention and lasted till the 2010's. Even it's worst entry (MGS4) is better than most.
Angel Jackson
Also shouldn't you have said Splinter Cell? Chaos Theory is literally better than any MGS game, but it falls off hard once it tries to go mainstream
Jayden Lewis
So far no eastern game has come close to Star Sector, Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, or Space Station 13.
William Evans
I swear only whites could ever be into games like these
Games that have zero cutscenes, have massive depth, have decades long following, and require some intelligence? I agree, only white people are capable at making such games.
Hudson Martinez
I didn't mean it as an insult - but if you look at the games being made by which cultures, you get an idea.
Like blacks are only diversity hires, they don't make their own games. There's no "the guy who created Deus Ex" but of blacks.
Christopher Young
being niche shit doesnt mean that. what are you talking about. sound just like an autistic indie lover.
Andrew Anderson
>I base game quality on whether it was or wasn't funded by a multi billion dollar corporation
again what are you talking about? a complex system? every game is basically easy. if you are 18, you can beat nearly every game out there.
how could one be so smug only by naming some indie games. nobody would understand what you meant.
Julian Diaz
To be fair, I don't have to dig into the ass cracks to find good games in Japan. Their AAA titles are good to great titles. Japan in 2019 and 2020 wouldn't put out some shit like Anthem, not in a million years.
Ultimately this. GTA5 and Skyrim represent western gaming, not Starsector
