>a small island in the middle of nowhere has been outperforming the entire creating output of the west for the last 20-30 years

BG3 and E33 alone mog anything on here.

selection bias

>West
Just the USA, Europe made plenty good games

You wish weeb, Japanese shit is just ripoffs of American media

>>715711516
both are trash btw
>>715711531
not really, you don't even need to cherry pick to realize that it's true
>>715711607
EU is just as cucked with the difference being that they almost produce nothing and the little amount of games that they make is gay shit
western europe maybe but if you see how stalker 2, bg3 and kcd2 went it's no longer true
>>715711632
your point?
>>715711693
compared to almost almost 800 million from EU+US combined, yes

Well received and loved by their audiance ?
Delivering something actually fun and interactive in the sea of movie slop

Persona 5 does stand out in terms of release year, doesn't it? It's 2016 while the rest of the games is from ~2020.
If so, I'll go from 2016 and drop Prey, RDR2, Disco Elysium, Control, Original Sin II, and unironically TLoU pt. II
Oh, and nu-Dooms FWIF
And HL: Alyx in no small part.

Don't @ me for any of those because OP's picture has fucking AstroBOT

>Prey
trash, if you count the actual Prey not that abomination
>RDR2
reddit: the game
>Disco Elysium,
reddit: the game
>Control
muh strong woman: the game
>Original Sin II
did you even play it? it's trash
>and unironically TLoU pt. I
neck yourself

the west can't into games, deal with it trannoid

>>715713691
You understand that resorting to reddit and trannies is more reddit than giving actual reply you fucking braindead parrot?

I like western and nip games. I don't know why it has to be one or the other.

So far, the GOTY candidates are Donkey Kong, Death Stranding 2, and E33. Two from Japan and one from Europe. I doubt Ghost of Yotei will reach 90 in metacritic. Maybe Blue Price is the indie darling this year who is American, but in large scale games, American developers can't seem to develop anything meaningful.
