In the 1980s, the so-called "western" tradition of computer role-playing games, or crpgs, began to differ dramatically from japanese role-playing games, or jrpgs, which were often manufactured for consoles rather than for personal computers. whereas the crpg tends to emphasize freedom, customizability, and immersion in the mechanics of a living, breathing world, the jrpg puts more emphasis on story, characters, and cinematics. these distinctions between the rpgs of japan and the rpgs of north america and europe persisted throughout the 1990s and the 2000s. which organizational pattern is used in the passage? a. compare and contrast b. problem-solution c. topical d. cause and effect
