Pure gaming is a mixture of kid, teen and adult games. Sony has all of these.

And perhaps you need to grow up and play games with great stories and brutal action too. My hatred of immature stuff doesn't necessitate the need for me to grow up.


No, but acting as if "games where you shoot stuff with guns" or cut things to pieces with major gore is "mature", while games with a more old school, "cartoony" approach is "immature", is beyond infantile. So I suppose Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon, and Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper and Croc and Ratchet & Clank, all games/franchises that started on Sony consoles, were/are also "immature"? Or is just "cartoony" Nintendo franchises you don't like? Excuse me...that are "immature".

I'm likely older than you, and have been gaming a lot longer. Yet I do not equate shooting/graphic violence with "maturity". In fact you could make an intellectual argument to the direct opposite effect. HOWEVER, it all boils down to what you like as a gamer. If YOU personally like "realistic" shooters and other such games, congratulations. But that doesn't make the kind of games YOU like, any better than the kinds of gamers OTHERS might enjoy. Just enjoy what you like, and let others do the same.

And calling out Nintendo for coming up with new Mario or Smash or Mario Kart or DK or Kirby, etc. games, is rather disengenuous in the face of yet ANOTHER Call of Duty, or Halo, or Battlefield, or Final Fantasy, or Forza, or Gran Turismo, or Metal Gear Solid, or Grand Theft Auto, or Splinter Cell, or Assassin's Creed, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Maybe you should reread my comment. I said that we need a mixture of cartoony and mature stuff.

Anyways I don't like shooters all that much. I like action-adventure, hack n slash, arcade racing and sim racing a lot more. Simply asking about great storylines and brutal action in games doesn't mean I love shooters. Stop generalising stuff.

Anyways publishers like SCE, EA, Ubisoft, Take-Two etc also come up with new stuff every now and then.
