@Bonjo So out of 354 games that have a Metacritic score of 90+ 17 are PS exclusives from first party developers. And that's in almost 30 years time. Not exactly "a host".
@Bonjo You asked me to give you an example of "best console exclusives".
Also if you check Metacritic, you'll see that there's only one Sony exclusive in the top 20 and it it's from two generations ago. So I don't really understand what you mean by "they're the highest reviewed games around".
@Bonjo What does Xbox have to do with Sony's cross gen exclusives being subpar? Horizon is just a pretty good looking bloated open world game. GoW made a wrong turn with moving from the gripping combat and arcadey'ness of the OG titles. TloU 2 is a sequel noone needed. Got had the same problems Horizon has but with fancier art style.
Also, having movable crates as the main puzzle elements in games made for 8th generation? 10/10 reviews my ass.
@Pusher2021 I'm totally with you on this. PS5 has been nothing but a disappointment so far with all the remakes and remasters and total lack of real current gen exclusives. Not to mention that the "cinematic storytelling" formula is getting stale with these games being either boring open world games (Horizon/Ghost etc) or linear action/Adventure (TloU/GoW).
@FantasyExplor3r88 I don't think that the demand is really that huge and is only visible on gaming websites like this who's user base is virtually insignificant when compared to the overall Sony's install base.
I totally agree that the first one was great, spent some pretty hours playing it myself. But the sequel looks nothing like it and more of a generic extraction looter shooter.
@somnambulance The level of detail and the texture resolution is low. Don't get me wrong, the art style is great but frame to frame graphics just don't hold up there. Also the gameplay is the same old ubisoft style open world shenanigans with the combat just copied from Shadow of Mordor and Arkham games (same goes for the Spider Man games BTW).
@somnambulance
Ghost of Tsushima has by far the worst graphics of the last gen Sony exclusives. Was the main reason I couldn't play it for more than 8 hours or so.

Ghost of Tsushima is just a boring repetitive open world game that could've been made by Ubisoft if they had better visual artists.

Can't figure out if it's a joke or not. That piece of hardware is turning eleven years old this year.
Re: Hands On: Suicide Squad Takes a Lot of Getting Used to, and It May Not Be Worth It
Game reviews be like:

>We've played Suicide Squad for 3 hours and it's literally too much stuff going on.

Makes you realize how poor the state of current gen is when they're "remastering" even less popular games like this.

Re: Riot Games Is Laying Off 11% of Staff, Some 530 People
If more that 500 people comprise 11% of their employers then they surely are severely bloated and overstaffed.

Do you also think that all the extras that a car model can offer should be included in the base trim?

I don't think it's damaging to a product as long as it generates revenue.

The ones you mentioned are add-ons/expansion packs.
This article deals with miniscule size optional DLCs.

Preferring one game over the other is perfectly normal. Having unrealistic expectations of something is not.
Re: Killzone Fans Feast on Unlockable Helghast T-Shirt in The Last of Us 2 Remastered

True but saying it could outperform CoD in its prime (the same time when Modern Warfare was released) is just delusional.

Still no 4K/60 FPS in an almost 4 year old game from a generation ago.
Current gen has been the most disappointing so far.

Of course you can. Otherwise different genres should/would have different criteria to be measured by.
Re: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) - A Slick, Satisfying, and Royally Robust Metroidvania
So a 2.5d sidescroller having a "rock solid performance" on current gen is now considered one of "pros"?
Also giving this game, Spider Man 2 and Metal Gear Survive the same score is just... Strange?
