The Cultural Effect: East vs West

Video Games

This week on the show, we talk about the divide in cultural backgrounds in gaming; specifically, Japanese developed titles versus the more Western developed series. East vs West. While we love games from all over the globe it is impossible to ignore the cultural differences between the two.

Join Luke, Elliot, Kolby and Kieren as they talk about the different takes on story telling and character development that you see in RPG’s vs JRPG’s. How certain genres have moved beyond their cultural backgrounds. What happens when the west or the east imitate the other and why does one side excel in certain genres while others seem to be phoning it in.
