This. I'll never understand a game getting a 10/10 rating when it has immersion breakingly bad AI. The counter-argument that the AI is intentionally programmed badly because people would rather witness crappy AI than get killed because of what an NPC is doing doesn't hold water. Rendering something atrocious on purpose doesn't make it okay. There are so many better solutions possible than settling for garbage AI. For example, NPC's could have been invisibly tethered to the players character. Or how about something realistic like having Ellie climb on Joel's back rather than just having her wander around directly in front of clickers. You can't choose to settle for horrendous AI that shatter the mood of your gameplay experience and then turn around and still call the game 10/10 perfect. Whether a flaw exists intentionally or not, it's still a flaw. And when you're talking about a flaw that completely breaks your immersion into the experience, that's a flaw big enough to merit knocking points off for. So yeah, I feel the game is vastly overrated. |
I agree that it is a flaw but doesn't mean the game isn't a 10/10 or game of the generation. There are no flawless games. They don't exist. 10/10 simply means a must buy... not perfect.
