I've seen that " Last fight is a ripoff of TLOU" comment lots of times. I mean every time somebody tried to criticize RotTR. I played TLoU and the fight didn't seem that original to me when I played it. What makes TLoU's ELLIE vs Creepy Guy fight so original?

As I said, it is all about the context. Lara is after killing hundreds of men as muscular and well built as "K", but all of a sudden she needs to approach a fight like she is a small girl fighting a fully grown man....

 

In TLOU, you were playing as the girl you were meant to be protecting.... there was a lot at stake and the odds were stacked against her. The result of losing for Ellie was a lot more nefarious than what would happen to Lara. 

I mean... Lara gets a bullet or quick death but Ellie... raped and killed and then most probably eaten and death would probably be slower knowing that freak!



 

By your descriptions, based on context, they sound pretty different. 

When I played TLoU, I snuck up on that guy and hit him with enough stealth attacks to finally kill him. In RotTR, the guy takes all of Lara's weapons. I just made some explosives out of what was laying around and blew his ass up.

To me, it was no different than any number of games that didn't allow a full frontal assault. Might as well have been the Mr. Freeze vs Batman fight in Arkham City, for all I cared.
