90s: some good western strategy, fps, adventure games on PC. but the best is still on consoles and arcades (japan). same for 2000s really.

Why the hell should I care what country "dominates the game"? As long as good games are being made they could be from North Korea for all I care

>tfw western games used to be amazing.

Back when the west used to follow the same "gameplay first" design philosphy that japs did we could make great shit. Now it's mostly overly scripted cinematic trash with some boilerplate mechanics, we lost the ability to make games with unique gameplay.

But souls is just a gritty Zelda clone

>there is still no game with good AI as Fear

That's how backwards the industry got. Look at BF 1942 it has more shit than BF1.
