Based on what?

On those companies lack of understanding of the gaming industry. Thanks to them (at least partially), things that don't deserve to be considered games or should at most be considered niche gaming experiences are taking over real games. It even infected and destroyed established franchises, making them more like movies than actual games. Meanwhile, we get less and less true games from big companies and all of that drags the industry down.

Note that I'm not talking financials here, just that the real games and gamers suffer with the current state of things. As a comparison, there's a huge amount of amazing games from the 6th gen and before that I want to play or replay but only a small number of 3rd party games from this gen will be like that. Ironically, many indies capture the true feel of games better than most AAA.

I would love to see what you consider a true game and what you don't consider a game!

Can you give us an idea of what you consider to be bad for gaming? 

Are TLOU and Uncharted too movie like? Bloodborne? Infamous? LBP? Tearaway? Where do these games fit into your idea of worthiness of the title of "proper game"?

And for the record, I earlier stated in this thread that my first console was a NES and NGC was one of my favourite consoles.
