MS has funded a bunch of new IPs this gen in various genres.

Off the top of my head, Cuphead, Ori, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Ashen, Lococycle, a Panzer Dragoon clone, Recore, Ryse, Project Spark and Sea of Thieves.

Those games vary from meh to great. I think the real problem MS hasnt created enough AAA content that feels really ambitious. If MS made a couple notable open world games this gen, I think people would feel better about MS's 1st party lineup. However, 3rd parties made a lot of notable content like that.

I like that Sony creates big AAA story driven games, but I am a little bored of them constantly making that. It makes me yearn for action and gameplay focused stuff like Gears and Halo, or even Crackdown 3. However, Sony didnt have to make great shooters relying on 3rd parties. This gen Sony has bundled Star Wars BF, CoD and Destiny.

Anyway, I dont just care about new IPs. Taking an old IP making something great out of that can be satisfying as well.

So anything that is not a multiplayer shooter is a story driven game with boring gameplay? I see.

So games like spiderman, god of war, horizon, bloodbourne, sekiro, infamous, persona all fall under the same category for you? Boring gameplay and only long movies. But sony is saved cuz cod , battlefield and destiny is on the ps4. The only real gameplay experiences. 

If you can only see that one genre of games to entertaining you, then yea, xbox all the way for you. discussion over. 

Oh calm down, you know what I am talking about. Games like Spiderman, God of War, Horizon, The Last of Us, Days Gone, Uncharted 4, 1886 and Detroit have a very heavy story focus or use a large world to pad out the game. I play very little open world games now because it has become tedious.

All of these games sell well so I dont blame Sony for going that route. But I am kinda bored of it and the most active games generally arent story driven.

Technically Infamous:SS should be on that list but its exceptional for it exploration and combat in my opinion. I also really enjoyed Uncharted Lost Legacy for being more action focused.

Bloodborne and Sekiro(spelling?) are very gameplay focused in comparison to other games mentioned.

Exclusives arent the only content people play, in fact people mostly play non-exclusive content on PS and Xbox. You can get games in many genres on both platforms.

I was suggesting if PS4 didnt have so many notable 3rd party shooters, they might attempt to make a good one. They only made like one this gen. PS3 had considerably more attempts and some were not bad.

But lastly, I like MS and Sony doing different experiences. I certainly dont want both making making games focused on walking and talking.
