No Double Helix did most of the developing. C'mon man. It also still doesn't negate the fact that it was an established franchise before MS bought Rare.

Also that is your opinion that Killzone isn't great. I could say the same for Halo nowadays, but that would be my opinion as well. Others, like me, share the same sentiments though. Still enjoy the games though.

The reboot of Tomb Raider is heavily influenced by Uncharted and there's no denying that. You're downplaying a great game that is Uncharted. When it launched, there was no other game like it. It's not just cinematics. I wouldn't say overrated.

You say that most of Sony's line up isn't very good. Okay.... Let me ask you this and please be honest. You think MS line up is better than Sony's offerings?! Oh and Xbox One's line up is not better. I'm sorry, but it's not. I have a Xbox One, PS4, and a Wii U. I play them all. PS4 thus far has a better line up of games. No question...no debate compared to the Xbox One!

I can also say the same about people sharing my opinion about Xbox games. I didn't want to turn this into a tit for tat in the games department, but I felt compelled to defend Sony from your downplaying. Seriously man I know you like and prefer Xbox over everything, but Sony has great games as well.

Again, people from MS work on KI as well. MS threw money at Double Helix to create a team of fighting game veterans. KI is better than ever thanks to MS. Give credit where its due.

Well the audience that shares the sentiment of Halo being great is certainly bigger than those with positive things to say about Killzone. Its funny, Killzone 2 is amongst the reviewed PS3 game and its something few seem to remember fondly. That series isn't terrible, but it didn't live up to the hype.

Tomb Raider inspired Uncharted, the Tomb Raider reboot was inspired by Uncharted. Hence, they are two IPs that simply borrowed from each other. Tomb Raider just nailed the gameplay better than Uncharted. I'd argue Uncharted 2 is a game people don't remember as fondly, Sony fans just needed something to boast about at the time.

When it comes to gameplay, I absolutely believe MS's offerings are better. But I like Sony games for story telling and trying to make unique experiences. I spend significantly more time with Xbox exclusives. But I still enjoy Sony games enough to play through them.

Ultimately, its a matter of taste. For example, you can't convince someone Playstation has the best games if all they care about is Halo.

Then you need to take your own advice and give credit where it's due and stop downplaying. Double Helix was already a team before MS hired them. I don't discredit them (MS) at all. I just think you're giving too much credit to MS for the development. Sure they funded the game being made, but DH developed it. I guess it doesn't matter which way you look at it here. MS is still responsible for KI. I'll just give you that since we'll be spinning our wheels here.

 

Oh and Uncharted 2 is considered the best Uncharted thus far. You may be exaggerating how popular it really is. Sony fans don't forget it. It's others who don't have a PlayStation that has opinions on what they think it means to Sony fans. Now at the bolded is where I'm going to call you out on being bias. You don't think MS fans right the Halo gravy train like it's still Halo 2?! MS fans do the same thing as Sony fans. BOTH DO IT! If you say one company is doing it more than the other, you're being bias. There's no other way to argue that.

 

Well here's the thing. You like what MS offers the best. That's fine. I like what they all offer. I don't pigeon-hole them into categories like Sony for cinematics, or MS for shooters, or maybe Nintendo for cartoony/kiddie gameplay. Each repsective giant are the best at what they do in their own lane. It's where others that over critique that don't have the systems themselves talk crap about another system and it's games that I can't jive with. I'm not saying just because you don't have that console, you don't have a right to an opinion. I would never say that. It just hurts your credibility of objectivity when these type of discussions or debates ensue. I respect your opinion man. We'll have to agree to disagree here.
