| jesus kung fu magic said: Third party developers are always better than first party developers. Capcom , epic , EA(just whats left of bioware) ,square , 2k guys , rockstar , bethesda , infinity wards ,valve are all producing top quality games that are over shadowing exclusives. What first party rpg can compete with what comes out of bethesda or square? What shooter this gen can beat what valve and cod 4 have to offer? Exclusives are always nice but when there is a better game in the same genre that is multiplat it kinda seems pointless to even care about them. Im all for exclusives though but seriously its kinda hard to be excited for them when there are better multiplat games out there

It might not be first-party but CD Projekt, Mythic, Blizzard, Turbine, Obsidian, ArenaNet and Turbine studios are all making better RPGs than Bethesda and Square Enix.
- CD Projekt developed The Witcher (2007 RPG of the Year)
- Mythic is making it's own legend with Warhammer Online
- Blizzard is self-explanatory (World of Warcraft and Diablo 3)
- Also Obsidian developed Neverwinter Nights 2, and though NWN2 wasn't so amazing, the expansion Mask of the Betrayer had easily the best game story of 2007
- Turbine Studios also had a great breakthrough with Lord of the Rings Online
- ArenaNet is busy with Guild Wars 2!
As for shooters, true, the most of the best ones are multiplat.
