Korea and China have upped their game

Lies of P
Stellar Blade
Black Myth

Also, multiple big Chinese releases coming this year. More than "trying"

I mean, I didn't like the Lies of P demo and Stellar Blade is just not that good.

Lies of P is incredible. Almost makes up for not having Bloodborne 2

Haven't played Black Myth Wukong but judging by how badly I sucked at Lies of P and Stellar Blade I don't think it's a game for me...

I honestly can't think of any games recently I've played that are Korean or Chinese...

Still don't get the difficulty with Stellar Blade. Fairly easy on Normal until the endgame. Also, there are difficulty settings if needed.

Lies of P is a little rough, but yeah, Black Myth is brutal.

Well I got stuck maybe 30 minutes into Stellar Blade from some mob on Normal... Rather just play something else than having to drop the difficulty down...

What argument? Nintendo solos.

The only western game I'm looking forward to atm is GTA 6.
The indie scene is a different beast altogether.

I hope we get to start seeing other AAA Chinese and Korean games that aren't action and/or Soulsborne inspired.

like, more RPGs, platformers, horror titles, etc.

You act like "Korean Grindfest" hasn't been its own MMO genre for decades.

The true indicator, the equalizer: the tutorial level

See: Dark Souls III

For me, JPN wins in that regard no contest.

Asians are so good at making Western games too
Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's that simple

I feel like it'd be better for literal culture wars to start lessening lol. At this point everything has been influencing each other and I personally like hearing more about how devs from one region were inspired by another.
I do agree. I enjoy games from all over.

Because it's fun? I don't have a stake in it either way, as others do. Especially on this site, there are quite a few who hate western games.

Need more variety from Asian games first.

Well, that's backwards. Plenty of Asian games are in a Western style, but rarely see vice versa.

With AAA games at least. Thankfully, smaller AA games and indie games have a broader variety when it comes to that, even if they're not as noticeable.
