So you think all Sony games are lame, you say MS first party are chumps, what types of games do you play?
Good ones, all of MS first party are chumps? Nah
I like Remedy's game, Alan Wake isn't particularly all that good, but their brand of story telling usually works for me and they know how to do a good combat loop in their gameplay. Plus I assume they'll bounce back because Max Payne 1 and 2 are excellent.
Turn 10 is legitimately impressive at what they do, I'm just not that into racing games, but Forza 3 was stellar. Forza Horizon isn't PGR enough, and Microsoft does a shit job of treating Forza with more respect. Those games should not be on a 2 year cycle, but instead Turn 10 should be given the 3-4 years they would probably need to make significant changes that they could make because the games are good enough and they are talented enough.
Beyond that? 343 is a tribute band to Bungie (a one hit wonder for my money) who makes Halo games, except not as good as Bungie so far. Black Tusk is the EPic Games tribute band brought in for Gears. More or less MS first party is only interesting depending on the 2nd party dev they work with: Platinum games for instance, I love their stuff, I'm excited for Scalebound.
All of sony are lame? no, most of it. Naughty Dog can be good, really good, they aren't wholly original, but they make up for it in execution. I also like the stuff Thatgamecompany does, I don't care if it's hipster, i don't care that it's artsyfartsy, the fact is those games are unique and not run of the mill. Beyond that? Geurilla made one good game and that was Killzone 2, I have yet to play a Sucker Punch game that is good. Okay sure, the first 2 infamous games were okay, but good nah. Gran Turismo? needs to bounce back. the SCEJ stuff that isn't Team Ico or the From Software collabs are pretty boring games like Puppeteer, and David Cage doesn't make video games.
Games I like? Good ones: Bayonetta, The Souls Games, The Last of Us, Antichamber, Divinity Original Sin, Mario Galaxy, Super Meat Boy, Braid, Europa Universalis, Valkyria Chronicles, etc.
I didn't buy my PS4 for killzone or infamous. I bought it to play Bloodborne, a naughty dog game here or there, and then the Japanese exclusive that they will get here and there.
