Are you serious? Western games have already surpassed Japanese games years ago. Mass Effect 2 is only slightly overrated, while every single Jaoanese game is an RPG or a Nintendo game.

just like how every western game is microsoft or some FPS game?  Gimme a break dude, don't be so ignorant. 

I know that I was exagerating, It was to prove a point. Western games are much more varied and higher quality, even Japanese people think that. I remember Hideo Kojima ( creator of Metal Gear Solid) saying that Japanese developers have lost the creativity that made their games so good.

ah, sorry.  I've just spent so much time on gaming forums over the last few years that a comment like that is commonplace and most often said without a hint of irony or sarcasm.  the very fact that I jumped to that conclusion based on the evidence presented (without asking) says a lot more about forums than I'm happy to admit.
