| Raviel said: -The Last of Us isn't a masterpiece. Reason: It does nothing that hasn't been done better elsewhere except characters. It does most things great and some things horrible (puzzles for example). The story is a giant cliché from any other zombie/post-apocalyptic movie (The Road, Children of Men). The A.I. is pretty bad. The only thing deserving of the masterpiece title in the game should be the opening because that is different and masterfully done. I think it got such high praise because nothing else in 2013 was great, making it stand out. - Post-Nintendo Rare was still great (until Kinect Sports). Reason: Can't speak for Perfect Dark Zero but Viva Piñata and Kameo were great games with great critical response even. Even Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts 'n Bolts wasn't that bad (if you consider it a spin-off more than a 'next entry' in the series). Everybody thinks their glory days stopped when they were bought up but going with the games they made even back then, not all of their games were masterpieces. The same can be said here, they've had hits and misses (three misses with Kinect Sports though). Lastly, alot of people seem to have another definition of what a Rare-game is, some wont consider Kameo, Viva Piñata or Sea of Thieves to be Rare-games because it's not Banjo & Kazooie or Conker as if they only see them as Platformer-developers. Rare has always done all kinds of genres and Sea of Thieves is no different |
It's totally cool if you don't like the Last of Us but you don't get to tell the rest of us why we liked it. :/
Delicious, delicious games.
