I largely agree with the OP.

Gaming has become so cinematic and cynical. It's all about making an illusion, to trick the player he is doing something meaningful while it's basically interactive movies..

Gameplay is almost gone from mainstream games. I agree that Japanese game makers understand gameplay better, they focus more on gameplay.

Woah, I never thought I'd hear that coming from you slimebeast. Lots have changed since 2007.

I do agree that a lot of Western developers are going for cinematic action, and it's excellent when done well. Very few developers can do it well though.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
