trolling statement ? Yes
truth ? not quite but hardly false IMO

As a moderator on this site want to give some statements as to how stating ''your [all Japanese] games just suck'' is hardly false? Because I would say that is teetering on trolling, in fact you even state it is trolling then agree with it. 

For every single point you make about how all Japanese games now suck I will give you a Japanese game with over 80% on metacritic from the last few years. 

There are still VAST amounts of high quality games coming out of Japan. Both the Western and Japanese industry also put out a lot of rubbish. The only reason I have EVER seen given for all Japanese games sucking is quite simply that people have got used to the Western style of gritty style + Go here and press this and you will be awesome. When presented with something liek Vanquish which is highly stylized and where you are only going to be awesome after learning the game and getting good at it they simply think it sucks.

"hardly" because the main idea of his statement is (IMO) true and that is that Japanese games have declined in quality.
80% games are fine and all but when the previous games in a series have all managed to get 90% or more and the current gen version gets 80% I would definitely call it a quality decrease. Furthermore there is also a lack of quantity compared to last gen.
For the rest read my previous posts here.
