The only ACTUAL GOOD western console games had Japanese supervision. Rare games for one. The kernel than turned into GTA3 was planted in Body Harvest for N64 imo, which had CLOSE Japanese supervision btw:

“ Nintendo frequently directed the development team to make major changes to Body Harvest's gameplay and visual style.[7] The language barrier between the Japanese publisher and British developer added to the difficulty of implementing these changes, as the developers sometimes struggled to understand what Nintendo wanted from them; Whyte cited as an example a message in which Nintendo told them to make the graphics "more materialistic".[7] DMA Design's head, David Jones, described their relationship with Nintendo:

It's fine. It's hard. It's a very hard relationship because their quality is so high, that it's so hard to match the quality of the products they do. And they really want you to focus on making Nintendo products. It's very hard to write games that you're not writing for yourself, which is traditionally what I've done. ... And basically, we just have to listen to them because we're not as good as they are. Nobody in the world is as good as they are, so we'd be daft to try and say, "We think you're wrong." So we just have to work with them, and we implement everything that they ask for.[8]”

You couldn’t make this shit up…..

With that said if you are into FPSs or RTSs or Engineering or Specs then more power to you, western Nerds have you covered on PC. But Jesus Christ, not console…
