I will never tell someone their opinion is wrong. The Last of Us just didn't blow me away. There are tons of people who will disagree with how highly I hold the first Gears of War. But for me, it was the first title of the seventh generation that truly showcased what we could expect for the rest of the generation. At the time, the graphics, presentation, and cover system were amazing (I know kill.switch did it first, but how many people actually played it) and the online co-op campaign was something consoles never had seen before and Epic nailed it. If someone who had never played it and gave it a try now, I guarantee it would not have the same impact on them. That's were I completely agree with you. It does come down to perspective. Also, I'm 36 years old and Double Dragon 2 was pretty awesome. Jumping up and doing the spin kick for the first time is another one of those gaming moments I will never forget. That's why it is so hard for people who did not play the games I would consider to be classics when they were first released to understand the impact those games had at the time. I used to play Wizards and Warriors for hours on end, if some one played that now I'm sure they would think it was terrible. But at the time, I thought it was fantastic. Perspective. |
I respect your opinion and understand where you're coming from. Different folks, different strocks. Your opinion has as much validity as those who loved TLOU. The only difference is that you're in the minority. It all comes down to personal preference, perspective and taste.
Gears felt really slugish to me, only managed to clock in an hour of play before the RROD set in but in that short time, i could see what plenty of people liked about it.
So...you're 36 eh... DAMN! YOU OLD! LOL! j/k... looks like we come from the same gaming generation. For generation/console deffinging games I have
Atari - combat: its like a vs game with planes and tanks with different mechanics. it was stupidly fun and the best game i played on the atari
nes - double dragon 2. super spin kick and super knee for the win
genesis/snes generation - golden axe and super mario
n64/saturn/psone - gt and castlevania sotn
ps2/xbox/dreamcast/cube - gt3 and halo
ps3/xbox360/wii - sorry, lots of great games but to me, no game was worthy of being named as generation deffining...
but the most fun that i have ever had while playing games was counter strike...me and my buddies use to play this game everyday during collage. even skipped some classes just to play... it was stupidly fun. and i mean REALLY FUN!
