The guy is clueless. Clearly he doesn't game. I don't want just Hollywood type movie games. I wish Kaz or Jack were back.When asked whether he was a gamer and what games he enjoyed most in the past year, all he could think to answer for both questions was Ratchet & ClankThis guy is a business suit through and through.
Also, that line about trying to "reach users who like Hollywood movies" doesn't sit right with me. Video games and movies are separate mediums and I don't want to be playing interactive movies with long cutscenes.

C'mon man this game gets hate for no reason. I can bet it's not worse than Destruction All Stars. Give it a chance. Looks quite fun

I can't agree more with this. I've just been with SOR4 and X Nightmare DLC that dropped today and what a bless it is, it's one of those games that remind you that an awesome game isn't necessarily about Hollywood super production 300 millions dollars budgets.

Jimbo says they have 14 studios. Hmm.A new interview with Jim Ryan went live yesterday on TMTPOST - Insider of China Tech and Business, in line with the PS5 entering the Chinese market. Good read.
Exclusive: Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Says Players Only Remember Best Games | TMTPOST

Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Insomniac, Guerrilla, Sucker Punch, Polyphony, Bend, Housemarque, San Diego, London, Asobi, Media Molecule, and Pixelopus is 13.
Bluepoint makes 14.

Days Gone is not incredible, not by a long shot. TLOU2 is though, just a genre defining game IMO.

Are you do game shopping on the metacritic by any chance? Fill the cart with many 90+ as possible?

It really looks like tons of people do these days, unfortunately. "Innovative 75-88 game?! GARBAGE! GIMME THAT SWEET SWEET 90+!"

One great game. The other a GOTG contender that almost universally won every GOTY award.
Nice try. PS4 has TONS of exclusives and those are the two you chose to troll with?

Days Gone would have been top 10 best games on the Xbox One, and The last of Us 2 is one of the greatest games of the generation, easily. Snot and tears all over your keyboard while you were typing that shit...
Captain Toad

Not garbage. But if there are more 90+ games than you can play, why waste time on 75s?

"this game stimulated my specific emotions and made me happy"
That is some robotic shit right there and as I just wrote a couple of days ago how I miss the good old Playstation with Shuhei and pals.

Mentioning Ratchet that just came out and then a total nothing saying answer that he likes to play hollywood like games etc. He doesn't play anything, this was PR speak.

If you dont count doing side missions, Open world, not being forced to play the story, doing whatever you want not an rpg. Then I dont know what to consider GTAV. GTA san Andréa's had the diet impact your gameplay. That is as far as rpg, as it gets.GTAV a RPG?

My main criticism for the game is the cinematic scene. The games atmosphere is great. It makes you super scared, and calculate your ammo efficient. Where it falls is the cinematic scenes. The moments that happens, all tensions goes out of the window, And you are stuck listening to their mumbling, and hoping the f stop it, and let you play the game. That is something I experience on all out of their exclusives on the ps4. Like get to the point, and let the gameplay do the job. Dont let the cinematic ruin the immersion of the game.

Oh Look, he had a decent interview, I was expecting another meltdown of "Sony is doomed". As with any creative medium you should always aim for the best product, does not mean you will always get the best games. But shows that Sony studios aim for the best they can do and not to half done things for quick cash.

I own all of them. Spiderman isnt RPG though, as in open world, but it does the job, when you finish a mission, and want to explore that section of the map. the one thing I hate about spiderman, is that message "You are leaving the mission". Like, let me explore the city man. I love the swinging around the city, and I want to do that for a longer period of time, collecting the bags, catching the birds, and taking pictures.Then you might be interested in some of these exellent "RPGs" too.

A look back at the 'Game of the Year' Winners (Part 1 of 2) 1985-1999
(Due to the length of this blog I've decided to separate it into 2 parts) It's the end of the year and amid the holiday festivities we gamers also have something else to think on - the all important best game of the year winner. What game do we call the defining experience of the last 12...
According to this (not sure how valid it is) these were the aggregate media GotY winners during the PS1/N64 generation. Keep in mind, that generation was the shortest generation as the Dreamcast launched in 1999, which saw Soul Caliber win a bunch of awards.
GotY 1996: Mario 64
GotY 1997: Goldeneye
GotY 1998: Ocarina of Time
During that stretch, there wasn't a developer/publisher who was on Nintendos level in terms of reputation. PlayStation had the benefit of being friendlier to 3rd parties so they drew a wider variety of games from the larger industry.
The best case for the N64 was that it's best 5-7 games were a step above what Sony had. Certainly a case could be made.
Anyway, I think it's safe to say that quantity indeed matters. As does price.

What's an "ok" game though? I've enjoyed many games others thought were average.
He should be seeking diversification.

Your post was asking more "RPG"s and you brought up GTAV as an example of one.
I gave you games that tick the same boxes as GTAV.
Are they "RPG's or not?

The quality comes from the user base. When you have enough userbase, Your objective will be high quality games. If you dont have enough userbase, your main objective would be games. How many games can you release. The best evidence for this is the ps3 to ps4. yeah, ps3 was bad to make, but it was testing games. Once Sony found out what they were good at, they went fully for the single player experience, and made it high quality as it gets. From killzone to horizon zero down. From god of war platform, to camera behind god of war. Last of us 2 got improved highly. Sucker punch went from infamous to Ghost of tsushima. one of the most beautiful ps4 game to ever made.A look back at the 'Game of the Year' Winners (Part 1 of 2) 1985-1999

As much buggy bethesda games are, The one thing they are great is, the insane details of their world, and how immersion it is. The only one who gets close to them, is Rockstar. Both companies dont have WOW graphics (aside of the new RD2), but their games have rich gameplay, and the insane lore of their games. I havent seen a game, which contains large quantity of books to read, like Skyrim. You can spend 100 hours, reading these books alone. Grand theft auto has the greatest npc, in any game. Their games are like real world. I wont be surprised, If gta6 would be, the best realistic game, same for Skyrim 2.
Devs need to find, what they are good at. Improve it drastically, and one day, you might make insane game. Rocksteady perfected batman. and that gave us Spiderman game from insomniac. Also insomniac improved alot with Spiderman, and made ratchet and clank. The most beautiful ps5 game so far.

I want to pull the trigger on that one, But I am afraid, I might miss important detail. Done that on 1 game. Struggled alot to progress it. Dropped the game, deleted it. Until someone pointed me, what i needed to do. That is why i dont skip cutscenes these days.

They are, like I said. But not fully RPG from Spiderman perspective, I havent played ghost or Horizon ZD, so I cant say anything about them The problem with spiderman, is you are limited to one area. The game doesnt allow you to leave that area. It will bring you back, if you do that. Other than that, it ticks other rpg boxes very well.
