S.T.A.G.E. said:
My taste is in both camps. Ive never not owned a Microsoft console. if anything is lacking its my Nintendo hardware. Its not about taste, but rather the fact that Microsoft does not develop on par with their competition. The best new IP they had this generation were both third party in Sunset Overdrive and Titanfall. Microsoft has paid to disguise their shortcomings. I'm cool with Halo and Gears as well, trust me. After last gen even the media started to notice Microsofts shortcomings as Sonys exclusives started to overwhelm them. They had more new IP's created than both Nintendo and Microsoft as gamestop posted in 2011. This is why this generation Phil Spencer said it is a big deal for them to focus on hot new IP's. If thats the case then the havent put one foot forward yet. Hopefully we are surprised at E3. I like almost all genres, so there is not really any console that I am not attracted to if the content is there.
At this point its beyond Sony to even focus on the FPS genre. It was a disservice to Sonys creative efforts to keep Killzone going. As good as the franchise was it was never great. No matter how great it was it was never top tier by even Sonys standards and thats why what Microsoft has to offer now isnt even considerable as a threat. State of decay is the only game I can consider since I hear about it so much, but yet so little from the mainstream and the same goes for Crackdown. Crackdown is no threat to anyone, including third party predecessors that paved the way for it. If Microsoft can give Crackdown the push it deserves, perhaps even I could be hyped about it and I love the open world sand box genre. When Crackdown dropped last gen no one spoke about it in a reverent fashion so lets hope theyve made an effort to make it relevant. Sonys top FPS team just created a genre defining game in a genre Sony has long since mastered and are now branching it out into open world RPG's. Most of Sony's gamers enjoy massive amounts of games from both the west and the east and thats what Sony does better than their competition. Where Nintendo and Microsoft both lack, sony has something to offer. |
LOL Why did you even reply to these people man? They know MS does not compare to Sony when it comes to first party. That's a fact the whole world knows, even Phil Spencer and he always praises Sony's offerings. That argument is one sided as Sony has more critically acclaimed games in history than MS and sold more games since Xbox entered the industry. Gamers choose Sony and that is a fact. Of course Xvox fans would deny reality. Horizon is a landmark in gaming and that game is better than Mzs entire catalog including what the got from Rare. Far better than any generic shooting game or Gran Turismo clone. They are just sour because Halo Wars 2 is the best they will get.
