I hope you are kidding. They are the scourge of gaming in my opinion. Some is OK, but there is way too much already. If you like that stuff, stick with Xbox.
Do you only play narrative games? | |||
Yes | 162 | 39.61% | |
No | 247 | 60.39% | |

JRPGfan said: Story & narrative-focused is what I want. I dont mind them trying to renew God of War like this. Also it seems like 3rd party, and MS are all telling us "games as a service, multiplayer", I think its good sony is saying something differnt. |
Yes, if Microsofts scary ideas become the norm, gaming is over for me
JRPGfan said: I dont get the vote, why NO is winning. Sony thinking globaly with game design, so games appeal to more markets... is somehow bad? Yep who wants them listening to consumers anyways right? |
The poll is too narrow. There needs to be a third option for those of us that play a mix of both, but prefer story based, single player games like myself. I do like a little reflex action for a break between big RPGs and long story games though.
I only play games that have a narrative. I'm not interested in racking up arbitrary points or scores, they mean nothing to me.
I want to be told a story and I love how the way games can do that has found so many great ways in the recent years. It's really a great time for people who enjoy that sort of thing.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

What do you mean by Nintendo site? |
Majority of the fans on this site of Nintendo fans.
"There is only one race, the pathetic begging race"
Since when do single player orientated games mean bad game play? The idea that a story driven game will have bad game play is unfounded.
OT: I'm loving Sony's first party direction with games like Horizon, TLG, Uncharted 4 + Lost Legacy, Gravity Rush 2, God of War, even niche games like Dreams & Everybody Golfs seem are interesting. No need for more multiplayer games on the market.
Typically when you try to cater to everybody, you end up catering to nobody. Swiss army knife games tend to feel like they have no focus and they don't really hit any of their notes to make something special.
But Sony hasn't really made any real missteps yet with their first party games. I think they have done well at maintaining their focus and adding to the things that make their games great. They haven't lost focus. I think this way of thinking is certainly dangerous if you lose focus, but until Sony does, I won't complain.

lol you don't need to count anything, you can tell by the users and everytime there is a "most wanted" or "most anticipated" or "best game of", it's always Nintendo dominated. Or polls of sorts, always Nintendo dominated.

These are some bold claims, Ali. Especially considering how you dismiss the importance of counting.
And now let's put one of your claims to the test by counting and we'll be using the help of axumblade, a user who runs most-wanted threads that count most-wanted titles through votes submitted by users of this very site.

...Doesn't seem very Nintendo-dominated at least as far as axumblade's most-wanted threads are concerned... I think this flies in the face of:

Ali, don't be so quick to dismiss counting...
Big thanks to
Excellent work axumblade! That's a lot of counting!
Cuphead is looking good but holy shit is it taking forever for it to come out.
