The single most overrated game of all time vs. 2.5 great games (and a Vita one, which I've heard is good enough). I think Uncharted takes it here. Not to say TLoU isn't good, but when I can predict every single plot twist while yawning, the story probably isn't as good or revolutionary as people like to think. I mean I avoided every detail about the game for a year after it launched to give it a true, non-hype opinion and it was just good. Had the AI been good, like Naughty Dog said it would be during the E3 demos, it could've been really, really good, but instead it's a game where you take advantage of unrealistic and stupid enemies. (Which, again, would be fine, if the game weren't going for that hyper-realistic style.)

And what "twists" would that be? The Last of Us has a simple straight forward story. They don't even try to surprise you with anything you couldn't see a mile in advance. They provide you with a world and information about it to figure everything out yourself as you go.

That is what makes it superior to something like Bioshock Infinite for example, where they keep vital information from you until the very end just to reveal the big twist.

Any of the big act breaks. I can't get spoiler tags to work on my phone, but the end of Summer, that thing with Tess; except for the end of Fall, literally everything I called hours in advance. People all acted shocked at some points of it but every segment reeked of unoriginality (in terms of plot). It's not necessarily a bad thing for it to be predictable, but in a story hyped up so heavily as revolutionary and unique, seeing things I've seen in many other places doesn't do it for me. Outside of the interaction between Joel and Ellie at times, nothing about it broke ground for me. That's what I'm talking about.
