Another frustrating reply.

I don't intend to buy an Xbox One. I don't like the Kinect thing, and Zoo Tycoon is a game I would love to play, but it's not enough to buy a console for. I am in this thread for one reason only, try to find out if there is any point in considering buying a PlayStation 4. The answers here won't be the final decission, but what kind of games I can expect from one of the marquee developers on the system will factor in. Again, Xen is (was at least) the only one who address the mechanics of the game. I don't care about 100 people telling me "Uncharted is awesome", I will listen to the one person who can say "Uncharted is awesome becuase it does this, this and this". Then I can decide if those elements are interesting to me, so far I am not much clearer on what to think. I have a feeling that Uncharted plays similar to Assassins Creed, but ironically that is based on the feedback from people who claim the two games are nothing like eachother.

So again, no information form you, except for the little nugget that Zoo Tycoon is a game worthy of looking down upon if I read your tone correctly. If that is the case, I am guessing there are not many games like it in the PlayStation library? Anyway, that is even further off topic and I don't know if I even care to listen to what people might have to say about that. One last thing though, I have never complained about Naughty Dog outside of the initial statement that the only time I played Uncharted it was for a short time and I didn't like it. Everything else has been an attempt to understand the game and the philosophy of Naughty Dog better. The response has been ranging from mild irritation to butthurt as if I pissed on someones diety (ok, perhaps a slight exaggeration).

Why was your experience with the PS2 so negative?

 

I was going to try this and fail miserably.  I unfortunately haven't played Assassin's Creed a lot, so I'm not sure I can give a very good comparision to that.  Just so that I can give something I can compare to, what are some games that you've played? 

I played Shadow of the Colosuss and was filled with rage to the point where I swore of video games forever. I stuck by it for a couple of years too actually, but the 7th generation won me over again.

Anyways, I've played many games, but not many Action Adventure games. I am not really looking for a list of PlayStation games that would suit my needs as that is way outside what this thread should be about. I am basically looking for information on the mechanics of a typical Naughty Dog game. But for reference since you asked I really like games like Bit.TRIP runner, Punch Out, Tetris, Bullet Hell shooters etc. In other words pattern based gameplay. I don't really need a recommendation on those types of games though, I am asking because I am wondering if I should do my kids a solid and buy a second video game console that they will probably love (since they love everything that is new and shiny) without subjecting myself to buyers remorse rage that compromises my love for video gaming.

PS: I am not intereseted in comments on how reasonable or rational it is to swear off a platform based on one game. I know how many of you will react to that information but that doesn't concern me. I make my desicions for myself, not for a bunch of people on a discussion board.

Will buy for the kids, buy Nintendo... want pattern games, maybe fb games?
