I think I just disliked TLOU2. Uncharted games were between meh and fun, and I had a great time with God of War.
Haven't played Spiderman, as it doesn't appeal to me.
ps: not in the poll, but Days Gone and HZD made me sleep. But maybe that's because open world games are not usually my thing.

Love them all. But sure I'll rank them.
Last of Us >>>>>> God of War >> Uncharted > Spiderman.
Basically Last of Us stands on its own as untouchable, followed by God of War and then the rest.
Spiderman is the best of the Sony Open worlds

The Last of Us, by a mile.
None of the four series are my favorite but TLOU is the only one that bored me to death.
If I wanted to play a survival horror with good stealth gameplay, better crafting (Seriously, fuck those scissors shivs. Give him a fucking knife and be done with it), and a female protagonist, I'll play Alien: Isolation instead.

well Uncharted is literally designed for braindead players.
so it has to be that. (although all of them are very dumbed down, God of War to a way lesser degree but still)
the game quite literally fakes challenge as in it makes you think you can fuck up a jump or a situation when in reality it's all designed so you can't do anything wrong. and even in places where you could fuck up a jump the game makes suuuper sure that you don't by having a semi scripted jumping mechanic that extends or shortens jumps automatically in order to make even the easiest platforming parts easier still.
it's the Transfomers Movie franchise of the gaming world. zero substance and 100% eyecandy.

see that's where I'm different, I'm kind of a masochist sometimes by simply being too curious.
I played through Uncharted 4 simply so I can be sure I can confidently say it is a bad game... and it is... it's a disgrace to the art of game design

Uncharted was neat the first few times but it’s enough already. Linear story tubes pushing you from action set piece to climbing set piece to cut scene just gets dull for me.

Didn't play Spiderman because it looks sooo boring. Out of the games I played (I played the other 3 from start to finish), GoW was the most boring one. I loved the old GoW games, but this slow paced Dark Souls like God-Daddy simulation was just too much boredom. I played through it because it cost me like 50€ but I was glad it was over.

What's a Sony-styled game? Their exclusives cover a ton.
Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank, Spider-Man, Wipeout, Astrobot, Bloodborne, Killzone, MLB The Show, God of War, LittleBigPlanet, The Last Guardian, Persona, Dreams, etc.
I guess if you ONLY care about online bro-shooters, you're lacking for PlayStation exclusives, but just about everything else is covered- not even counting multi-platform games.

I found TLOU2 incredibly boring, felt like it dragged on way too long. It was just not very good compared to the original and considering how long it took to develop it was really dissapointing.
Poll needs HZD and Days Gone!!

TLOU by far. Played a plague tale innocence a couple months ago and thought how that game is quite similar and is leaps and bounds better than TLOU in almost every way but don't hear many people talking about it.

I like Sony games, and their exclusives are the main reason I still want to get a Ps5 in the future.
With that said I don't like the modern Naughty Dog Style. Ever since TLOU turned into a big success it seems like story has become the main focus at the studio, but it has just made their games less fun to play.
Best way I could describe it is that in games like Uncharted 2 it felt like the story was there to serve the gameplay, and in games like TLOU2 and Uncharted 4 the gameplay is there to serve the story.
That's not to say that their modern games have worse core gameplay, if anything it's other way around. But improved core mechanics only take you so far when your games have painfully bad pacing and gameplay sections are designed primarily to fit the story instead of making the most out of their mechanics.
It's specially true for Uncharted 4. The game cut back the number of combat encounters and cool setpiece moments and replaced them with soooooooooo many areas of barely interactive walking around and looking at stuff.
Uncharted 2 felt like a game where they had a bunch of cool ideas for encounters and fun setpiece moments, and then they went and made it so the story would give them context. Uncharted 4 felt like they had a bunch of ideas of things they wanted to make with the story, and then they went and made boring "gameplay" sections to fit those.

I was disappointed with TLOU2, U4 was just super boring. Never played the other uncharted games other than the Lost legacy which I am having some fun with

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
All games suffer from boredom at some point those games are some of the best Sony and all of gaming has to offer Microsoft would love to have Kratos or Nathan Drake.

OP is not new to these "let's shits on Sony" Threads.. but this one is just something else entirely.
Great way to start 2021.
Shallow gameplay GoW and Spider-Man, Jedi: Fallen Order and Batman Arkham are not even games.
Shallow gameplay TLOU, Resident Evil 2/3 Remakes are cutscenes.

Trying a new way to frame an old favorite/sarcasm.OP is not new to these "let's shits on Sony" Threads..
After so many attempts to like triple A games lately, it’s refreshing to actually enjoy one
Honestly it’s been such a long time for me. I don’t really vibe with Sony’s first party stuff to the point where I stopped trying to like them (didn’t play tlou 2 as I didn’t like tlou 1) god of war felt like the same thing. I do have a ps5 but haven’t played much as I’m waiting for gt7 death...www.neogaf.com

They need more big franchises, maybe resurrect some of their old ones. The genre they're really sorely missing out on is RPG.

I hated TLoU2's narrative but found the gameplay pretty fun. TLoU1 was a legitimately great game on the strength of its narrative, its gameplay was fine. I've never been able to enjoy Uncharted on any level. I found the new God of War to be conceptually interesting but sort of boring, and the combat system was pretty pedestrian and didn't really sell Kratos as being particularly powerful. I haven't played Spider-Man.
I couldn't get into Horizon. I played Ghost of Tsushima for about two days before my PS5 arrived and I switched to Demon's Souls, but of Sony's recent output it's the game that seems most up my alley.

Spider-Man being on that list feels like the odd one out because in that game you're actually playing during the first 5 minutes, while the others are walk 'n talk for the first half hour.
So I would choose the first TLOU as the most eggregious of them all. Three times I tried getting further but I just got bored and uninstalled the game.

If it's TLOU1, then Spider-Man is the correct answer to this.

Everything post TLOU. Third person action adventure, open-ish world, main mechanic is walking around, but wait you also get to bond with a stepchild or come to grips with adversity by doing menial tasks, sarcastic quips, shallow gameplay at the expense of really good production values. Oh and box and ladder puzzles.

Is that the only traversal option in BOTW? I must have hallucinated you could glide all over or skate on shields and other fun stuff.

Okay. I just don't get dismissing a game because it features a lot of walking, especially a game that's as much about forming a bond with another character as it is about combat and survival mechanics.
