I think about half of sonys output I enjoy, and the other half I think is slop.
The problem is they had super star success with naughty dog and the last of us, and now they want to make all their games play exactly the same.
Spiderman 2 feels almost like the last of us with some super hero elements thrown in, God of war feels the same, just with an axe and norse mythology skin.
They're meant for the most casual of players.
Here is the thing. I could have fun with some of these games. It’s just that I have been playing video games since around 1996, and I have played a lot of games since then, including AAA games.
I actually don’t mind casual games. I have played basic Ubisoft games such as Assassin’s Creed Origins and Far Cry 4.
It’s just that an AAA game needs to be really special for me to consider playing or picking it up these days. Baldur’s Gate 3 would be such an example, but it’s also a very unusual AAA game, being a CRPG and all that.
