Spider-Man is the second best PS4 exclusive after Bloodborne. Great year for that game alone.

And they weren't all that samey either.

I know it's sarcasm but man that's how it feels to me in regards to Sony 3rd-person action/adventure games.

To be fair though I'm not throwing shade. I'm just not that into AAA gaming.

EDIT:

To give an example though;

I LOVE Mundane Vehicle Sims. So if someone said Euro Truck Simulator 2 looks just like Farming Simulator, I'd be all like, "Oh hell no!" but I'd understand why someone not into the sim sub-genre would think so.

Same with people who suggest the Civilization and Europa Universalis strat games look alike.

Excellent exclusives? But PS4 owners were missing out on a regularly expanded co-op pirate game and a cool open-world racing game? :)

How does God of War, Spiderman and Shado of the Colossus feels the same? This doesn't make any sense.

2018 was much stronger than 2017 for me for sure. Glad to see the strong line up getting the props it deserves.

I mean I barely think any games are 10 out of 10s and I think both Spider-Man and Detroit are. God of War and Astro Bot are like 9s too. Crazy good year.

Sure, the fruits of Microsofts purchases won't materialize next year. They should make for a great E3 from MS though. It'll be interesting to see if we get any kind of reaction from Sony, not sure that they need one but who knows what the media thinks.

See edit above.

I wouldn't throw SoC in there, but Spidey, GoW, Horizon, Infamous: SS, and Uncharted 4 all look the same to me.

I feel sorry that you weren't able to derive enough enjoyment from these fantastic games which look and play completely differently from each other.

3 of the 5 are open world and the other 2 are wide-linear games, so we can't even say they all have the same structure/model in common either.

What does Gita Jackson think?

That this article probably feels more at home on a Nintendo console ?

But but detroit was a dud.

Edit: just to be clear, this is a reference to kotaku article that called detroit a dud. i see the other guy got warned for system wars for being sarcastic about what kotaku said. i personally think detroit is amazing. dont ban me!!

Indeed.

I understand Aaron. I remember swinging from buildings as Aloy and fighting robot animals as Spider-Man. Detroit is an excellent dissection of the discrimination of Colossi and watching the Wanderer solving Android crimes was pretty excellent and they all felt the same.

What a great video. Thoughtful opinions all around. Great criticism on the low effort PS Classic.

that's a fair year review. Recongnizing the fantastic year that PS4 had.

Tell it like it is.

Everything felt familiar when I started sprinting with Joel and he turned neon pink.

Infamous and Spidey look completely different despite both being superhero games. Art direction is what differentiates a game's looks. I can't imagine looking at this:

And this:

And going whoa, which game is which?

The scene where Connor first meets Agro in Shadow of the Zero Dawn is still my favorite.

Ehh...it's more of a feeling than anything else.

Kinda like how military shooters can look pretty interchangeable to the untrained eye.

Like I said, not throwing shade. I fully understand that character action games just aren't my thing.

Either way, I'm happy that Sony fans are happy.

Sorry for the derail.

This year games wise for PS4 was insanely good on so many fronts in addition to the 2 big hits, God of War and Spider-Man. It's even more insane that it feels like the best is yet to come with (hopefully next year for at least 2 of them) The Last of Us 2, Death Stranding, Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima.

Maybe the best year yet for PS4. I mean there were just so many high quality exclusives:

God of War
Spider-Man
Detroit: Become Human
Shadow of the Colossus
Astro Bot Rescue Mission
Firewall Zero Hour
The Persistence
Tetris Effect

I mean you don't get much better than that.

That's a pretty broad stroke to paint different games and genres, only one of them is even close to being a character action game (GoW). How is a third person shooter (Uncharted) a character action game?

Why'd you post pictures of Astro Bot and Detroit, though? Those 2 look the same, they aren't helping your argument.
