The thing is that it was those kind of games why western games gained so much popularity. Do they look better from a graphical stand point then most japanese games ? Sure. But do they actually play better? The answer to that is no. That goes specially to those cover based third person shooters that are basically whack a mole mini games.

@jhcho2: Yes western games had more depth in terms of gameplay in the past but that is not true nowadays if you consider that games like Mass effect, Uncharted, Gears of war or Call of Duty dominated the western market since the 360 era. Those games could not be more shallow or simplistic even if they tried. Also saying that Japanese games are the same as 15 years ago is absolutely ridiculous. The only kind of games that are really lazy, repetitive and un-innovative are these "cinematic" shooters that the west keeps releasing.

The Witcher 3. Mass effect is the most overrated trilogy of all time.

I disagree, they did not lose their edge. There was a major cultural shift in gaming at the beginning of the 360 era, as a result japanese games lost a lot of their popularity in the west.

Wow. People actually care what those rabid SJWs think? Also lol at Ucharted 4 being number one.

Third person shooters or at very least the modern ones. Almost all of them seem to be cover based shooters nowadays which unfortunately reduces their combat to a crappy whack a mole game. That is also why it is probably my most hated genre.

1. Planescape Torment

2. Baldurs gate 2

3. System Shock 2

What it probably means is that Sony has no power whatsoever over the game, after all it is developed and funded by a third party, as such it may come to the xbox one but at some point in the future.

In a good way? Only the Souls games and games developed by Platinum. The 360/Ps3 generation was probably the worst console generation ever.

1. Final Fantasy VII

2. Xenogears

3. Valkyria Chronicles
