Good video. Motivated me to change my avatar back to classic.

The Last of Us Part II is another instance of video games as a medium being taken a step back, because the comparisons to other media with story-telling are ridiculous. Sterling does a good job of going over previous instances of this nonsense.

     Why are you being so vocal of a game you haven't played? How can you say TLOU2 is a step back for videogames as a medium without having played the game? Because you read up the story and you watched some cutscenes?

      I don't agree with this video at all because there shouldn't be boundaries on how a story is told. If a specific approach is the best for that story to be told, then so be it. This is becoming a world where everyone is critical of everything, even people who didn't give those things a chance.

The video from Jimquisition and Rol's comment aren't about the quality of TLOU at all. It is about the ridiculous comparison to movies, in the concrete example to Schindler's List. You can agree that this comparison is moronic and still like TLOU2. You can say this comparison is ridiculous without having played TLOU. And these comparison actually hurt the acceptance of videogames as an medium of art. Because videogames can do things movies can't as movies can do things books can't. Instead the focus is put on the things that videogames are obviously less capable of than good movies or books. Tis is hurting the overall images of videogames.
