Kameo

Crackdown

 

Nintendo

3D Mario

Zelda

Metroid Prime

Xenoblade

Smash Brothers

 

Sony

I can't really think of any Sony games that have good gameplay. Even Uncharted the supposed best is on rails. Journey is a just press forward and win. What else is there?

3D Mario? Lol.

Anyway...Journey has terrific gameplay and i'm not kidding, it feels right.

And yes i know this is such a bad troll attempt.

I can't say I disagree completely, but Sly Cooper has good gameplay, and subjectively GOW focuses more on gameplay than story.

You can't think of anything for Sony, yet you have to dig as deep as the single game, Kameo, and call it a franchise to round out that Xbox list?

This thread is now about pancakes vs. waffles. 

I personally prefer buttermilk pancakes bathed in maple syrup, but that's just me.

Demon's Souls has better gameplay than any Xbox exclusives. SMG probably tops it though because Nintendo had pretty much perfected 3D platforming back with Super Mario 64

The funny thing is, those games you mention are also linear e.g. HALO is shoot from point A to point B

So true, as far as I'm concerned, Demon's Souls is easily the best exclusive game this gen.

Right... in that case, a bit amusing how a third party exclusive shits all over the entire Sony first party library from this gen. And to make things worse, if I were to list more worthwhile PS3 exclusives that left a good impression, they'd be MGS4 and Heavy Rain (was unique enough to be enjoyable for one playthrough despite all the flaws).

Then finally, in the distant fourth place, we'd have inFamous or GoW 3.

Yeah I'd also have Valkyria Chronicles as one of the best PS3 exclusives. Sony first party have a lot of good to great games but really struggle to hit that "peak" that Nintendo and even MS do.

At this point, the TC is not even trying to hide how biased he is towards Sony.   So out of all the first-party Sony titles that have appeared Across three generations of hardware and five systems and he somehow  can't find five franchises to list?

 

That is just pathetic.

Gears isn't first party and neither is Crackdown, yet TC listed both of those. If he can't even follow his own thread rules than I will not follow them either.

Funny enough, MGS4 is also a third party exclusive, Sucker Punch was a second party developer until 2011 when Sony bought them (Infamous 1 came out in 2009), and iirc Quantic Dream is not owned by Sony either, they just like working with Sony.

That only leaves God of War 3 :P

I know... I wanted to say how my 3 fav PS3 exclusives are third party, but yeah, should've formed it a bit better. :P

Didn't know Sucker Punch used to be second party, though!

I ahd to do a fact check on that before I posted. Crazy how Sucker Punch had made all of the Sly Cooper games on Ps2 and Infamous 1 exclusively on Sony platforms despite not being owned by Sony. Insomniac was the same way though. They were always independent but had the Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, and Resistance games only on Sony consoles. It wasn't until they signed into EA's partner's program that they branched off and made games for other platforms (FUSE, which looks like crap).

Dang, I was just going to post the same thing, but you beat me to it. This does sound like the kind of thing I hear over xbox live. I don't want to have to read it in system wars. At least loosingends and forzagearsforce stayed on topic on how xbox is everybody's daddy and such nonsense. I can't even argue with this kind of crap.

It's okay Lemmings. If I was getting my credit card milked with nothing worthy in return and if my console was collection dust and if I was constantly getting screamed at by 9 year olds on XBL I'd be angry too
