I'll give you that one
That one too (not as much)
And that one
Only better than DoA
Milked more than the Geico cavemen
That I also give you
Peaked at II (CalibUr btw)
Japanese hyperbole with a key, and no lasting appeal.
Shortcoming of every Japanese stereotype sans innocent, buxom moe-style girls
No opinion

Overratedness comparable to that of the FPS genre in its entirety
I'll let you realize that you forgot MGS, No More Heroes, and Resident Evil.
Not to mention that Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Prince of Persia are better than a good number of those titles.
I have to admit..
The Westerners are good at FPS and some adventure games (especially GoW and GTA).
But they have never produced a game from another genre that can even come close to Japanese greats.
Like RPGs, all they have are sub par. They don't even have any RPG to compare to the greatness of Chrono Trigger, which is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) RPGs of all time.
Or Versus games... Heck, even the retro Street Fighter 2 would be better than anything they can throw out for this genre, in 2D or 3D.
The only adventure series in Japan worth any real mention is Legend of Zelda. Not to mention most of these Japanese greats series you're talking about have waned into shadows of what they were back in the 2D era, if they hadn't already died in the first place. The exceptions are there, but alot of them were milked for all they were worth after the first few (ie Final Fantasy).
Secret of Mana > Chrono Trigger btw.

Real-time >>> Turn-based by default imho. Everything has an exception, but imo, only a handful in this case. Call it narrow-minded if you must, but I had come to that conclusion from about twelve years worth of re-evaluation
Only time Turn-based was cool was when I was in the middle of a fight and I had to leave to catch the bus.

Like what western RPGs are sub par ???
because theres
-The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
-Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-Diablo 2+expansion
-Anything from Bioware
-Deus Ex
It's only a matter of time until Resident Evil goes anime. The main question about it is when it will appear to the public.
I think Silent Hill being an anime series would do well as long as some members of Team Silent help make it.
Metal Gear Solid needs to have an anime series but it won't happen until Kojima helps to make it. No Kojima = one possibly sucky MGS anime.
I think that maybe there should be some more Dead Space anime. Downfall felt meh to me.

hell, Mass Effect(Why nawt?).
What would be interesting is if there were two different DVD sets for the Mass Effect anime. The Blue set if you want to see a good Shepard and a Red set if you want to see an evil Shepard. I wonder how well that would go.
After watching some of Metroid Prime, I'd like to see how well it can do as an anime series. MP does have a manga series so I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until Samus and the gang go anime.
