If you call that "having a first party problem", then all of the big three have a first probelm, and have had it since forever.

Suckerpunch focus now on storytelling and graphics? I beg to differ. Second Son was a massive improvement over the original two in terms of gameplay, but a step back in terms of storytelling. First Light had better gameplay and better storytelling. I'll give you Media Molecule, but we have yet to see how Dreams turn out. Guerilla has made several good games in the last 10 years. Sure, their games might not fit to your tastes, but if I were to call anything that doesn't fit my tastes "not good", then I could give you a long list of highly acclaimed games by fans and critics alike that "aren't good". Meanwhile, saying that Naughty Dog turned in a dud with UC3 is about as silly as saying the Zelda team turned in a dud with Skyward Sword. Japan Studios is a massive development team (it is divided in multiple teams, sort of like Nintendo EPD). At such a massive size, ofcourse you're going to make some games that aren't as well received as others.

And you should!

We shouldn't feel trapped into praising the most popular or critically-acclaimed games. Embrace your own opinion. If you dislike Ocarina of Time, then say so. If you think Grand Theft Auto V and Uncharted 2 are overrated, great! As long as you justify those opinions, everything is fair game.

Fair enough, but then, like I said, all of the big three have first party issues.
