We need to stop comparing ND to Blizzard, its not a fair comparison. Blizzard is in another league compared to ND. Sure ND make a great game every once in a while, so does Retro, so does Rockstar so does ID, and ND are far from the best apart from Linear Action experiences. They can make good games when they go outside there comfort zone, Blizzard make the best games outside there comfort zone, major difference. Overwatch is another pure example of this. Like I stated before to someone else in this thread. It’s easy to make a good game in another genre, but it’s not easy being the best in another genre. Each genre Blizzard has entered, those games are up there with the best of them. ND own the linear movie genre respectfully but 1 genre compared to a company who owns 5? It’s not a comparison. Same goes for Rockstar and ID and many other great devs. Blizzard isn’t a 1 trick pony company.

You're wrong, in my opinion. The Last of Us by far exceeds anything Blizzard has done in the past 15 years.

Blizzard now makes games that appeal to the mass audience but are not very impactful. You can call ND a one trick pony but they can only make one game at a time unlike Blizzard who is as large as 16 Naughty Dog studios. And it seems to me that you never played an Uncharted game and The Last of Us. They are very different games.

This isnt about who makes THE better game for that year, Its about who can make the best games in other genres and be amazing at it. Blizzard by far exceed this where as ND doesnt. TLOU and UC are both linear action adventure games. Dont get confused on whats a new IP and whats a new genre. You saying TLOU is different is correct however you saying there different genres is incorrect. Thats like saying Tomb Raider is in a different genre to UC since thats more inline with TLOU gameplay.

And for the record, Blizzard has far more employees however they also have alot more happening at Blizzard like service maintence teams, massive customer support teams and many other things. Blizzard make a new game in almost the same time as ND, every couple of years (excluding Expansions), its normally the same team that help on all there games. Hence why it takes awhile to make, just like ND.

Quote - The Last of Us by far exceeds anything Blizzard has done in the past 15 years.

Tell me when ND make a more successful game then WoW then you might have a point. Even Diablo 3 alone sold more then UC4, TLOU and UC Collection combined. Success can mean alot of things, and now you can see why Blizzard is in another league to ND. There most recent D3 game which was underwhelming to many ecplised NDs best games in terms of success. Thats not even including Blizzards best games.

Yes i have played both UC and TLOU. Moving on.
