Microsoft is only focused on games that sell which isn't always bad but shows that they are not creative in the slightest. It also keeps them from having new IP's and taking risks. Sony keeps the titles that sell well amd keep trying to make more every gen. That and when they try to make new IP's themselves they mostly fail.


Well, "only" in games that sell is an exaggeration.

Explain Microsofts lack of new IP's when they have more studios than Sony.

Because metacritic? Honestly I do not know why so many people follow metacritic scores, when a game like GTA4 can get a 98.

Well I can see this as a instigation off the bat and will respond in kind. Basically you are saying that Sony has better and more dedicated 1st party studios then MS. Ok....congrats? I will say this: Naughty Dog carries Sony. They do great stuff.

90+, 80-89, 70-79.....360 has more games in every category. I would gladly take exclusives of Xbox over PS3 any day. I know....extremely controversial to say that lol.

That said, it was a shame PS gamers didn't show enough respect to their exclusives. They talked more then they bought them. Just did a quick check and it shows Halo ODST sold roughly on par with Uncharted 2 and 3.


Thats cause Sony gamers had multiple choices when it came to games, not just 3 choices.

I have to count, but I think MS's First Party produced a comparable amount of games against First Party IP's Sony created throughout the seventh gen.

EDIT : Regarding your original comment, though, isn't now when MS has more studios? Or they had them at the beginning of the seventh gen?

You know Gears of War 2 won GOTY and multiple acclaimed awards. You seemed to have missed that one. And it did all that when MGS4 came out. Play the games you like and not the ones that get good reviews. I played TLOU and i didnt like it but its reviews were insane but i can play StarCraft 2 and have the best time of my life. Gamers and fanboys today put reviews/metascores and GOTY awards first instead of there own taste.

It is all personal taste, and metacritic is garbage. The amount of fanboys that do reviews are ridiculous. Research the games, ignore hype, play what you want unless you learn to read between the lines.

Remember 50 meta reviews are just the opinion of 50 average people with the only difference from the rest of us being that they get early access to games and rush through them for a deadline. I used to do reviews, I know.

Both sides have something to offer, just play what you want and be happy. These games were meant to be enjoyed, not argued about based on a damn number.

Wait so you're saying that I did infact write Heavenly Rain (Obviously a typo for Heavy Rain) but then you went on to say i said Heavenly Sword despite this for what reason if you knew that wasn't what I said?

Combined with the fact that I also wasn't hating on Crackdown and just said it didn't take off then also like I said.

Reading comprehension fail.


Obviously I misread Heavenly Sword. Just found out what you really write after I checked one quote another user do. In fact, there's even another user who also misread it as Heavenly Sword.

 

You went and edit it and didn't mention anything about it. It is still the best stealth edit I've ever seen here.

 

And yes, Crackdown hatin' is Crackdown hatin'. I explained why I said so, but you keep on going with the Reading Comprehension Fail ending comment. Good work :P

Exactly you misread. Nobody else misread no don't try to rub your failures off on to other people.

I don't care if you "explained" how I was hating on Crackdown because you're still wrong either way. All I said was that Crackdown never caught on which it didn't being that Crackdown 2 didn't sell that well and it ended the franchise.

However you somehow see this as me hating on the game itself hence why I keep telling you that you have poor reasing comprehension skills.

There's not a single mention of Gears of War 2 on there.
