They are facts.
Halo DID redefine and set a new bar for FPS games from controls to mechanics to atmosphere to gameplay. The game shaped two generations of FPS titles and gaming, and has defined the last decade of FPSs.
RE4 DID redefine and reinvigorate a genre. Most of what it did great many games subsequently copied, TLOU copied much of what made RE4 so good.
Metroid Prime was in fact a game that did just about everything right, and it was and still is just about the only game that has ever done FPPlatforming and done it well while also being a fantastically designed shooter. It's the definitive 3D Metroidvania game and about the only one (sequels too) that actually did 3D correctly.
Ocarina of Time was a gaming redefinining game. I don't think you'll actually find anyone who would argue this.
GTA redefined the whole gaming concept of open world gaming and player freedom.
Not to mention other games like Super Mario Brothers 2/3 or what have you that changed the shape of gaming and how it developed from then on in the history of gaming. To say "the best game of all time" is an utterly contrived and stupid statement and just shows a lack of genuine appreciation of everything that has been and will be, and how gaming as a whole has evolved time and again. "Best game of a generation" or "Genre Defining Game" are much better things to look into. All of the games I listed redefined or defined their particular genre or simply changes the course of gaming history.
TLOU is one of the best games of its generation but for being so great it still had its issues be it terrible AI, inconsequentiality of ally AI, or the glaringly bad scripting issues that were there for the sake of making gameplay bend to the will of the story. Is it the best horror-survival game? No, I don't think it is because I think that title belongs to RE4 and all of the creativity it brought to the table... much of which is actually used in TLOU. Is it still a great game? Yes, yes it is.
Is it the best game of its generation? For Survival-Horror it certainly is but in general? No, I wouldn't say that it is.
