Re: The RPG Thread
I prefer Japanese RPGs because they generally have better story-telling in them than western games. As I just said in another thread, I'm more motivated when there's a good storyline with complex characters to pull me through the game.
As for why the library of RPGs has died down.. I'm not sure. It could have to do with production costs and the time it takes to develop them. Its really hard to justify making a deep long RPG when it won't outsell a simplistic game that takes 2 months to develop on Wii. (Or in Ps3 and 360's case.. hard to justify making it when you can reuse the same engine and characters over and over and sell more.)
