One of the things I've come to notice about the video games is that the source with the best overall general and consistent quality of games is the East, regardless of the year. Whenever someone asks what are the "Best" games the Western has to offer, the answer is almost always the same dozen titles (With noticeable majority of them being shooters). Meanwhile, if someone were to ask about what are the "best" games the East has to offer, the response that is commonly said is "In which genre?"
Now, I'm not here to bash the Western game industry. However, I would like to know what other titles are out there that give it credit and show what Western devs are capable of. I'm sick of always hearing about Half-Life, or Deus Ex, or Doom, or LucasArts, what else is out there?

I'll apologize for Canada right now. Sorry for Ubisoft, Bioware, Phil Fish, and whatever else excuse for a dev crawled out of here

Canada still owes the world plenty for justin bieber.

Ultima Arcanum Diablo Thief I don't know these are some of my favorites
Camden Gray
At this point I don't even know what my country has going for it anymore.

Save for Thief, all of those games are fucking irredeemable RPG trash.
Benjamin Moore
Well alright but I really like RPGs
Eli Morris
You shouldn't.

Stalker SoC is superb and well respected and liked by Japan and the West alike. Also New Vegas.

I hear what you're saying, but I will continue liking RPGs I think
Luis Parker
I really do suggest you stop though. It's not good for you, there's no action.

The Witcher III is a decent modern RPG. Geralt is a bit of a Mary Sue but the antics that he gets himself into can range from humorous to grave and everywhere in between, and there are at least a few different endings per major quest that can later tie into other quests or events that change the course of your playthrough. It's not perfect, but fuck you I like it. The music's pretty great, too.
Bentley Wood
Think of all the mods or fixes that don't exist or were crippled because publishers or shitty devs don't bother releasing their source after maybe ~5 years.
Daniel Robinson
They don't do it because if they did then we'd have the source code for every game they'll make for the next 20 years.
Christopher Perry
Just because it has action doesn't mean it's good

I've been playing games since 1979. The last 5 years seem like a funeral. I only pay attention to the industry like I would a massive fire on the side of the highway as I drive on. God help you all if you live to 40 and there is still no memeteor summoned.

Seems like you're a retard who hasn't played even half the games I listed. Your list is Reddit tier shit I also forgot to mention Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

What's wrong with cargos? More comfortable and lighter than jeans and looks better too and keeping your wallet or keys in a chain makes them harder to lose.
Isaiah Cruz
made me think, now go back to wherever you came from and don't come back

Really? Where are the best japanese RTS or CRPGs? Which japanese RPG is the least similar to DQ and the most similar to Fallout or Wizardry 8? It depends on each region, really. Indie games, PC Gaming and it's genres are almost inexistant in Japan outside VNs and some popular shooters, but they're beyond any doubt the gods of console gaming and the inventors of all of its genres too, and said genres are so many to list that it is no wonder people would ask "Which genre?" if you asked them for the best japanese games. They also still have AA companies so they probably won't be needing Indies or PC Gaming in general for a long time. most japs are filthy mobile casuals though Meanwhile, Americans mastered PC in the mid-days of DOS with genres like RTS, oldschool shooters and simulators. They also made some decent western games for consoles back then too, but i think EA, the entire 7th console gen and everything they spawned is a clear example of what happens when you give burgers full control over videogames, which funnily enough also casualized western gaming on the PC side. And i think slavs and other uncucked europeans are trying to fix what the west made to the PC side with CD Projekt (poland) pushing for DRM Free games and other slavs sticking to complex genres like Milsims, Grand Strategies and RTS.
I don't know what non-mobileshit/mmo Taiwanese and Korean games would be like, and they definitely would be shittier compared to japanese games, but i think they could still be a preferable alternative to modern western games and Tencent.
Levi Adams
Sure smells like Cuckchanner Reddit in here
Also Total War goes in the list and so does Dook and FarCry/Crysis.
Daniel Hughes
when did I say this
Carter Johnson
Most games in the series are poorly designed unfinished shallow mess Literally unfinished Devs got fucked over by their publishers.
I guess technically this is a representation of the western game industry.

Tell me why they're mediocre or fuckoff. World in Conflict is one of the best games to master while being so streamlined even a consolefag playing for the first time could pick up.

How so? All of them were good at their inception except for ES and Everquest, and the first had two great games after it.

To add to the list, FEAR only the first one Dune 2000 Descent 1&2 Tyrian 2000 Homeworld 1&2 Serious Sam TFE/TSE/BFE not a fan of 2, but the music is great Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale Dungeon Keeper 1>2 Earth 2150 Divine Divinity Rage of Mages 1&2 Starcraft+Broodwar Warcraft KKND Blood Act of War Knights and Merchants
There's also a bunch of indie games like SPAZ and Risk of Rain but they don't count.
Thomas Allen
Forza was always mediocre compared to Gran Turismo, ES is mostly broken trash with horrendous combat and controls, EQ was the first normalfag MMO before WoW, MoH and CoD have always been linear cinematic FPS trash, Fallout was only good for the first game.
Fuck off and die nigger >>>/reddit/

You should look up Comiket sometime. They throw a bunch of games out twice a year. How many are worth playing though? Can't give you an honest answer. I don't play many besides some Touhou fan games like Labyrinth of Touhou 2.
As for anything similar to Fallout or Ultima 8? I can't say. Japan doesn't really make RPGs like old CPRGs in the west. You barely actually play a role and make your own story. Your role and chain of events are already setup and the main focus is how you're going to tackle enemies in combat. Lately though Japan has been seeing more dungeon crawlers. Most likely because they're easier and cheaper to make than RPGs but I like them better this way since it focuses more on the gameplay instead of world building and trying to be a themepark.

Diablo was a graphical Roguelike. Thief is a role playing game because it is a game where you play the role of someone
