It's another game in a trend this generation that puts presentation and cinematics above gameplay. They are great games to watch, pretty meh games to play. Last of Us gets a lot of praise for the SP but I honestly cannot find a single thing about the SP that stood out to me from a gameplay perspective. The combat was predictable due to lazy level design, the AI was a complete joke, the immersion was non-existent to me thanks to invincible/invisible AI partners. The zombies were crap, and the survival aspect was way overblown as supplies were never an issue unless you suck at the game, and any time you die you just load back up from right before death.

MP on the other hand was amazing. Small team, tactical gameplay where stealth could be just as or more important than firepower depending on your build and play style. It is in my top 5 of the year just for the MP.


For you to appreciate this game you need to imagine it's exclusive to Xbox. See now it's game of the generation for you ;)

Yet it's a PS3 exclusive and I bet I put more time into it than most here. Let that sink in, and hope that helps.

you say TLOF is not GOTY worthy, because its just another zombie game, and that either SM3DW or Zelda deserves that honor.
3DW looked and played almost as did every mario game before it.
LB2W plays out like almost every other Zelda game. Find the weapon, find the cave, battle the boss with said weapon.
A new IP won GOTY and to me thats a great thing for the industry.



I loved the gameplay. It certainly has slow parts like the rafts and ladders, but do those short sections detract from the amazing combat before and after?

Did you play the game on survival? That made it a completely different experience. Bloaters were freaking intense!



I don't think we're all going to ever agree here so let me just say a few things.

-I still think The Last of Us is one of the best games this year

-I'll admit, my summary of the game play was terrible. Actually, my summary of the game in general was terrible. Please disregard the OP completely. It's pretty much exaggerated versions of my own thoughts.

-People using the argument that my favorite game is 3D World and yet I classified TLoU as another shooter, I understand your point. However, the cat suit added much more potential to the platforming (ex. branching paths, ways to completely skip level sections, finding secrets.) This also applies to the other playable characters. I prefer platformers to shooters as well, so I guess it's my preference.

-Saying ALBW was just another Zelda is incorrect. Dungeons in any order, being able to have all the weapons from the beginning, being able to merge with the wall to solve puzzles. It's simply an inaccurate statement. Plus, it's my 3rd favorite Zelda, and the best one to come out since Wind Waker.

-GTA V was the most innovative game this year, to me. It was nothing like I ever played, it was...wow. This same could be applied to TLoU for some people.

Okay, I'm done damage controlling myself. Have a good day/night xD



This editorial pretty much sums up what I think of TLOU. It's definitely a game that deserves to be played; however...

The Last of Us was a great experience worthy of the praise it gets... It wasn't my personal GoTY. The only thing that I found truly amazing about the game was the relationship between Joel and Ellie... In terms of overall story though, I've played better.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

Opinions and asses, you know how it goes.



I really can't believe how stupid gamers have become. People did not blast there opinion 10 or 20 years ago why now? Oh wait the internet so people can now always complain. You know awards are stupid half of the time.

Also the TLOU was one of the best games of lags year.

You know what go and play a bad game like COD that you don't have to use any of your brain cells. Instead I would play a different game experience. Also thanks Naughty Dog the dev that made Crash bandicoot you have now made one of the most violent games in the last Generation of consoles. 😀

1.You just expressed you're negative opinion about people complaining on the internet, by complaining on the internet. Hence making that argument invalid.

2. I don't understand your point at all. I don't think the Last of Us is GOTY so you're telling me to play CoD? I dont even like CoD? Maximum????!??? Also, what does Naughty Dog making Crash have to do with them making one of the most violent games this gen? I just...um.

Yeah.

Fuck.



nintendo says... its not TLOU

and sony fans says its TLOU....

and they are both not biased...


yey!
