I said games get lower because they simply aren't as good games.  Up until your last post, you failed to acknowledge that both galaxy games are scored higher on gamerankings, nor did you acknowledge that I averaged them both to determine that galaxy 1 is the highest ranked game of this gen.  You claimed that mario galaxy has the same story, which is correct, but you fail to understand that It's gameplay overcomes it's lack of story, just like how TLOU's story overcomes it's lack of interesting gameplay.  You are correct that Quarter to 3 generally scores the opposite  direction, but you failed to acknowledge that even without that score TLOU would still be ranked lower than both mario galaxy games.  That's where you go wrong, you lost the argument, and if calling you a fanboy when you clearly are acting like one isn't tolerated, then so be it.  You have clearly lost this argument, 

Ok, I feel like we are just heading down a downward spiral, I am sorry for my comments about calling you a fanboy and everything else that I said that might have offended you.

When it comes to gameplay, the game has to feel fresh and new for it to get a 10 in terms of gameplay.  With the last of us, every puzzle involves a conveniently located plank, ladder or raft, that you use to get over an obstacle.  It almost feels like it was completely pointless to put those puzzles in at all.   The combat itself is near identicle to uncharted, and what makes it worse is that because of how frequent the checkpoints are saved, if you die you basically don't lose any progress at all.  Now, the AI is pretty bad, you can assasinate people by approaching them diagnoly rather than directly behind them.  Also, if you get in view of an enemy human and then quickly get out of site, he won't notice you.  And don't even get me started about Ellie.....anyways, the point is that while the gameplay is pretty good, they took some stuff from ZombiU that I really enjoyed, nothing is original, and there were a lot of bugs that should have been fixed.  But the issue with docking points for mario not having a story, is like saying that Chess should lose points because their is no story in the board game Chess......it's not a good argument, games don't HAVE to have stories, they HAVE to be fun, and while games don't need good stories to be fun, they do need good gameplay to be fun otherwise you might as well read a book or watch a movie. 

Also, TLoU does look at least on par with UC3. 

Not surprised that you'd make this thread, though.

No, you said they are scored lower because they stop innovating or a better way to put it is can't innovate enough because the competition already had the whole gen to come up with different ways. That in no way disproves what I said that games do get scored lower at the end of the gen so you didn't disprove that at all but instead just agreed with me. +1 for me. Are you really saying because I didn't say Mario galaxy was higher on gamerankings at first means I didn't aknowledge it? What a stupid and childing reason, I simply stated Grand theft auto is rated higher and it is above both on metacritic and that defeats your purpose on saying it is game of the gen from the reviews. At least you can see the story is the same but you can't really get out of that one by saying TLOU doesn't have interesting gameplay but Mario galaxy does, that is an opinion and not fact like the same story. Another +1 for me. I am also right about Quarter to 3. +1 for me again. As for "acknowledge that even without the score TLOU would still be ranked lower than both mario galaxy games", why would I say that if I never said it would, I just stated the Mario galaxy games didn't have to deal with stuff like that and in no way said it would be higher than them if the troll reviews were taken away so +1 for me again. As for the last thing, how did you average the scores? Because as I see it if you average gameranking and metacritic for all 3 games seperately, Grand theft auto still wins, atleast against smg2. Your whole argument has bad reasoning behind it and you didn't provide anything to back up your claims so I still win unless you can actually provide reasons instead of bs.

1. Did we play the same games? The gameplay is not even close to being the same.

2. The fuck? Like what?

I am going to continue playing it but so far its just another overrated game by naughty dog.

by the way Uncharted 3 is going to piss you off at the end, I warned you, the part after the plane crash till the ending are terrible, and the ending is one of the worst endings to a high rated game next to Mass Effect 3 and Assassins Creed series

I'm a PC gamer too, and TLoU is one of very few games in recent years where I haven't noticed many of the usual graphical blemishes in PS3 games. The character models, the effects, the lighting, the animations and the fluidity of everything...and not to mention the artstyle... are just amazing. The detail ND always manage to put into everything is unmatched. PC games may have higher resolutions, better AA, higher quality effects etc. yet somehow ND always manages to impress.

I agree with you there. Looking at the game as a whole, I'd say it's probably the best looking game on PS3 in my opinion.
