Your point...being?
that i wouldn't call team fortress 2,super meat boy,split/zero (heck any racing game),ssx and minecraft weird,interessing or off-beat
and besides why the counter argument to "western developer don't make anything interessing" is "hur dur indie developers" my finger is pointed at bethesda,epic,bioware,infinity ward,rocksteady studios,santa monica studios,rockstar,naughty dog and the like,you know the one who would show their game at a big event like e3
What does "boring functional games" even mean?
rpg that rip off from D&D,shooting and sandbox games with the same military weapons over and over,a million different rendition of madden
there is a reason we have so many "XXXX XXXX 3" this year,western developer never try anything different,they stick to tried and true scheme,this does not count for every single western developer ever but for a single boom blox,there is a shitty the conduit,and a lame goldeneye,and an even more stupid red steel
when was the last time you pointed at a western game and tought "this is weird" or "that character looks interessing" for me this hasn't happened since this fucking game here
