english voices in japanese games/animes most of the times tend to suck, and one of the excuses for that is that they're japanese games so the english voice actors wont catch the "feelings" of the storyline

 

Because most japanese game storylines are nonsense with innappropiate banter for the situations.

that explains why you love RE5 so much.

 

I knew someone would bring up RE, but its a great exception to the rule since it ignores the usual japanese copy+paste plots/characters and has always used English voice acting, even in Japan.

the storyline is good or the voice acting is good ? because neither implies to any RE game.

They're so bad, they're good.  RE is a parody really.

Resident Evil's intentionally cheesy/camp. That's part of it's charm.

thats actually true to all Capcom games.

I'd argue that the story and voice-acting were fantastic in Resident Evil 4.

Actually, that's true to an extent.  I don't think I could stomach stuff like Dead Rising, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry or even Monster Hunter if they took themselves that seriously.  Capcom's sense of humor is one of the company's secret best assets, though it tends to go overlooked usually since they're often more subtle (at least for game makers).

the story?

some random cult kidnapped the president's daughter just for the lulz and leon gets sent to save her.

AT THE END YOU SAVE HER AND KILL THE CULT LEADER!

That reminds me, that boulder punch was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
It pretty much epitomized in one moment what the hell went wrong with games these days LOL

I actually thought RE4 had the best story, and the most overt parody since the original RE1. It never took itself too seriously, I think that level of self-awareness is part of Mikami's touch. You can definitely see it in his other games too (RE1, DC1, PN03, God Hand, etc).
