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.

I think it's not so much about the number of exclusives both platforms launched, it's more about the risks Sony is willing to take with their 1st party studios compared to MS. Sony lets almost all their major studios build new AAA ip's, while MS build 2 brand new studios just to keep Halo and Gears alive and the rest of their exclusives are mostly Indy or small budget projects. After this console generation I also expect a lot more 3rd party developers like Team Ninja and From will be willing to do a Sony exclusive compared to MS. 

I feel like you aren't listening, I named off some new IPs MS did this gen. Not all were small budget. They funded Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, the eventually cancelled Scalebound and ofcourse Sea of Theives. The problem is they didn't own two of those, QB may have failed and Scalebound may never happen. Only Sea of Theives was the real success.

I have praised Sony for making new IPs, I just don't like most of them were 3rd person narrative driven adventure games because they feel its low risk.

After this gen, there are numerous studios that will make Xbox exclusives as well. Like Obsidian, Ninja Theory, etc. New IPs will come and you can bitch about them in a few years.

But again, I don't just care about new IPs. MS has old IPs I'd like to see rebooted.
