For someone that is defending the game so much but doesn't seem to understand why ppl would just be meh about it and call it overrated, even though you have the answer in your own post, is very wierd. Although you might be one of those that follow the hype so it might be hard for you to come to terms with it, don't worry I will explain it for you as simple as possible. @Bolded this is the very reason that all the talk about GOTG and masterpiece is only hype and nothing more, a truly great masterpiece is felt by people that haven't played the game. All the games that should be considered masterpieces and what not would have such an impact that even if you didn't play the game directly you probably played a game that was infuenced by it in someway, those are the only games deserving of those titles. If you have never played Super mario bros you probably played a game that was influenced by it in someway, if you have never played OOT I'm pretty sure you played a game that took some elements from it, if you have never seen GTA3 there are lots of other games that try to be like it, these are some of the games that truly left an impact on the industry sadly the TLOU doesn't fall into that category. From what I have played (I do have the game btw I just can't bring myseld to complete it) if I had to explain this game to someone I would say its a solid TPS shooter with some stealth/survival elements if you like those types of games you would probably like this and that's it. |
Cool story dude. But it's way premature to say TLOU won't have a lasting impact on the industry. And let's be serious here, your definition of what constitutes a masterpiece isn't necessarily the one everyone should go by. You say it's all hype and nothing more. That's utter nonsense. The people who called it GOTG or a masterpiece had to play the game to come out with the strong impression they got. And a lot of those people played the game twice, with the PS4 version, and their opinion didn't change. But yeah, it's all nothing but hype. ¬_¬
As for your jabs at me, I will invite you to read the thread again. I asked for elaborations on certain position people had about the game's ending, and some people couldn't provide any. I don't know what you saw, but never did I contest someone for not thinking the game is the GOTG. I questioned their argument about why they downplay the game. In most cases, you will notice, the user is known to be biased towards a competing console with a history of having a hard time to give credit where credit is due. But since you call the success of such a game on nothing but hype, I know I can't expect any better from you either.
