yep, shyt is usually some simple 'rescue the princess', or some crazy Metal Gear mind fukkReally? I feel storytelling is the weakest part of Japanese game. So much of it is either bare bones (Nintendo, Capcom) or extremely convoluted (Square Enix, Konami).
Honestly I'm shocked at the poll results. I love both like everyone else, but I feel like western game developers have just eclipsed their Japanese peers over the last 10-15 years.
