The thing is I have actually played all three of these games, and in every case I was completely confounded by how anyone found them enjoyable, or even comparable to similar games that came out in their respective years.
At least, when it comes to video games, I am definitely Japanese. I agree with Japanese audiences nearly 100% of the time and never understand Westerners.
Witcher 3 was one of the clunkiest and terrible RPGs I have ever attempted to play in my life. I gave up after 5 hours because the gameplay was genuinely disconcertingly bad and the framerate on PS4 in 2015 was complete dogshit. How western reviewers could not see that Metal Gear Solid V was unironically the absolute pinnacle of stealth gameplay (and also ran marvelously well even on base PS4) was astoundingly confusing to me. I did not understand the appeal of the game at all.
I would like to add here, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the greatest games I have ever played in my life. Again, this all comes back to the fundamental truth that Westerners are incapable of making a good game unless that game is in first person.
BG3 I actually put 80 hours into the game and just gave up after I realized I wasn't having any fun at all. It's a game about dicerolls and homoeroticism. I think the open endedness of the game is kind of interesting, but that does not necessarily translate into the game actually being fun.
E33 I did try but thankfully I only played it long enough to be able to refund the game on Steam. It just seemed like such a movie game I figured it was better to just refund the game and watch it on YouTube. Suffice to say, Nier Automata did this kind of storyline better.
2015 should have went to MGSV The Phantom Pain
2023 should have went to any of Armored Core 6, Street Fighter 6, Mario Wonder, Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, or Lies of P.
2025 should go to Prime 4. A Western game that is actually good (because it's first person).
