and still, i'm not ranting, i just reply to you when you quote me. not sure why you even think that just because i talk with you very friendly. if you don't want to get quoted, don't quote me with a post i "have" to answer to, pretty simple.

and btw, you don't have to use "clueless" in every single post when i explained to you that my knowledge about your discussion in the past with him has nothing to do with what i had to say.

He is, and he's right.  It is heavily scripted.  It's impossible for it not to be.  The exact way he described it was fully correct.   He provided an in depth explanation and all you've been able to retaliate with was insults, and memes.  Congratulations.   Kind of how they described Skyrims AI as dynamic, etc and when in reality it was proven to still be scripted.  Just in an intricate system.

Inevitably one of us is going to get sick of all the trouble coming from this thread and lock it. Just saying.

Well yeah, all video games have to be scripted.  Got to tell the engine what to do.  NPCs are the same way.  The guy a page or two back described it perfectly.  Naughty Dog just made a really intricate system to fool people into thinking they were fully dynamic.  I still have yet to see any proof the gameplay is dynamic from the video.  It doesn't look very different from a lot of sneak based games (wrapping arms around someone and using them as a body shield) and looks similar to hitman.  It's dynamic in a sense, but it's still scripted.  Just you can chose different scripted events now, versus having to follow completely into a preselected series of scripts.  If anything I said makes sense.  

the thing is that I don't recall naughty dog ever saying that the AI were fully dynamic.  All I remember is Naughty dog saying that the game would be a wide linear game, meaning there are multiple ways to go through parts of the game.  Of course the AI is scripted, but they just have mutliple scripted events that are triggered by what the player does in the game. This is what I got from what I've heard about the game.

TLOU is definitely scripted. It just has a few more "If/Then" statements in the code than your average linear game. It reminds me of Splinter Cell Conviction. Sam could "interrogate" certain characters. Depending on what what was next to him Sam could smash his face into a mirror, or break a urinal with his head, or just bash him against a wall. It's really not that complicated, it's just time consuming for the developer to animate all those events. Naughty Dog seems to have taken this concept to the limit, but it's not revolutionary.

I feel I won't be able to explain this in the best way possible, but I'll try.

There are two principles how you achieve enemies and NPCs to act in a natural and intelligent way with their environments and the player.

It's kind of an external versus internal principle. Scripted versus AI (technically, internal AI is still filled with scripts, but this is the terminology most often used in the game industry - "scripted games" versus "AI focused", or something along that line.)

The internal principle ("AI"). The enemy soldier in Crysis or an NPC in Skyrim has his own advanced senses and personality. He has a specific field of vision, ability to hear, and he reacts on things in his environment (ideally, but this is hard to program, so often you have devs who brag about advanced AI that still turns out to be augmented by tons of simple scripts). You can put one of these anywhere in the world and he will behave in an intelligent manner. This enemy soldier will always be alerted if he hears your footsteps. (obviously you can tie this AI to a bunch of external scripts like you can do with a dumb AI)

The external principle ("script"). You have an enemy that is very basic and dumb, but you tie his behaviour to external triggers - classical scripts - that you have to hand place in the world, typically as invisible lines on the ground. An example: Joel throws a bottle inside the room with bandits who become alerted. Now, the thing is that these guys probably aren't able to hear anything like the soldiers in Crysis, it's just that in this specific scene there's an invisible trigger in that very specific room that activates the alert reaction when Joel throws the bottle. But I would be surprised if you could do the bottle trick anywhere in the world of The last of us, because that would suggest that this reaction is built in into enemy AI.

Now, if well executed you achieve roughly the same illusion of natural and intelligent behaviour with the "intricate script" method as with "internal AI", and that's what I hope with The last of us.

Often the scripted method gives a better sense of realism than internal AI, especially on a first play through. But personally I prefer the built in AI because it's so dynamic and can be surprising (sometimes unintended) and allows re-playability.

" it's not revolutionary "

and no one said it was, all i've seen in this thread is people express their excitement for the new gameplay aspects being revealed

but amazingly there're apparently some people ( not reffering to you ) that are actually disgusted that people may be interested in and excited for this game

No they never said that.  Just some people are under the impression it's possible for it to be fully  dynamic. 

No, it's not that I don't want people to be excited for the game.  I'm just trying to better understand where these false claims people are making come from.

which false claims specifically?
