Ho ho ho, that's it man. Let me tell you some of these games that aren't so great (despite being a fan of some of them): GTA, Killzone, R&C, GeoW, Halo, MW, AC, L4D, Bioshock, Tom Clancy's ones...
It would take me ages to explain why. Those games that I listed aren't art. They're just like a blockbuster meaningless movie. Pure entertaining for some time, but nothing that remains in your memory and your heart. Nothing that makes you think, shiver, cry...On the other hand you have japanese games that are real masterpieces, games that must be played, just like movies you must watch before you die, or books you have to read, songs you have to listen to (I'd go with whole albums, but that would need another full explanation and it's 1:15 am here ^^). True art.
I'm no saying that all Japanese games are that good. As a matter of fact, they have an importante amount of apeshit (just because of how the industry works nowadays). Both Western and Japanese masterpieces are awesome, they're equal as good. But you can find much more of them in Japan.
*I know that my artistic point of view of videogames is not quite popular, but please don't misunderstand me ^^* |
Western game developers can make games that remain in your memory and your heart, you just need to look for them.
