I don't really have a dog in this fight -- I think TLOU is a great game, but not a transcendent one, so I guess I am somewhere in the middle -- but I take issue with your most recent comment. There is no looking at games "objectively". We all bring our subjective feelings and preferences to bear when evaluating a game. If someone dislikes stealth gameplay they are totally justified believing a game built around stealth gameplay is inferior. |
Exactly that. Not sure why people get so defensive about TLOU as if they lived would change if the world thought the game sucked. I mentioned MGS as a comparison. I completely loved that game when it came out and it was stealth based. And I don't think anyone has said the game is mediocre just that the gameplay was boring. And it is very flawed too. I can count the hundreds of times the little girl or whatever added character in the storyline was within sight of the AI and the character just moved as if nothing was in front of them. Again, this is a good game with a boring and slow stealth element. I would give it a 7 out of 10 but nowhere a game of the year. I feel the reviewers were just fascinated with the storyline which was pretty darn good for videogame standards.
