So i guess it should be as good as this one : http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-2/star-ocean-till-the-end-of-time

Tales of Zestiria is also PS4 to add to that wonderful list.

And I justed noticed something about this list ^ :

For me I like adventure oriented single player story immersion type games, which are traditionally more Japanese, that seems to be far more prevelant on the Sony platform while Microsoft is all about arena multipler and mindlessly blowing things up and testosterone injected young males bumping dicks online comparing their K/Ds and gamer scores in shooters, which is mostly a Western & US thing.

I'm just a Japanese gamer at heart having grown up in love with JRPGs and Zelda type adventuring games with SNES and PS1 which were quite unlike PC games which mostly exploded with shooters in the mid 90s with the introduction of Quake and 3D hardware acceleration.

I was pretty upset when Sony was presenting their new Call of Duty alliance.  Get that shit out of here.

I did grow out of consoles and go on a PC kick somewhere in the Quake 3 through Unreal 2004 era, causing me to miss a chunk of the 6th gen console era (PS2, Gamecube, etc) but 5 minute arena matches in the same maps got pretty old and now I crave the adventure and exploring style games again, preferebly the kind with endearing characters and heart breaking tragedy.

Xbox just doesn't provide that sort of game experience for me, it's more like what I already experienced in my PC Quake 3 days (online vs mode, top frags, and shit talking) and I'm past that and want to be absorped in fantasy worlds again and above all I want games that give me goosebumps and make my eyes water damn it.

And what RPGs XBox has are western RPGs which by necessity MUST sacrifice narrative and strict story telling in order to allow for an open ended do whatever you want type of world.  WRPG like Fable, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc are pretty bland and boring to me compared to the spine tingling dialog and emotion drivin musical scores of a game like Xenoblade Chronicles.

I just realized as a kid I was into adventure/questing/fantasy oriented cartoons too.  Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Gummi Bears, etc. over GI Joe or X men type stuff any day!

So what? Forza always had a 2 year dev cycle so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Nope, but it doesn't make it less true. #Forzafatigue

To be fair, Gran Turismo has had 7 releases since 2005, nearly making it an annual franchise as well. And Ratchet & Clank will have had 10 releases in the time span of 9 years, making it more than an annual franchise.

Also, my bad, it's 10 years for R&C, not 9. I can count.

Havnig annual franchises is not the problem, the problem is when it's most of your exclusives years after years, it gets boring quickly.

Sony is all the opposite, often more fresh franchises or at least as much than old ones each year
