This year changed my perspective on Japanese games

Persona 5 and Nier: Automata are my contenders for GOTY, not sure if any game could top them.

I still need to play Gravity Rush 2.


Yup!
Though Nier really surprised me. I never thought there could be another GOTY contender for me in the same year a Persona game releases.
 
Ys VIII should definitely be on your radar. Going to be a blast.

I have similar thoughts. Japanese Single player games (Dark Souls/Final Fantasy/Platinum games)> Western ones. But Western Multiplayer games (Valve/Blizzard/Borderlands/GTA)> Japanese ones.

Japanese still act like they don't know what the internet or a PC is.

Ehh, Japan brought us Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Contra, and 99% of the fighting games worth playing, I'd say they're no slouch in the multiplayer department.
