Imaginary arguments? You mean like saying there's "a huge amount of better games" when you haven't even played the game in question? Or like pretty much anything you ever post in this forum?

Also yes, if someone else had said that he thinks there are better games out there I wouldn't have said anything, but since you've once again been so extremely arrogant in this thread and in that post, I felt it was justified to call you out. Like I've said, all the flak you get is for a reason.

you even admited.I pity you.

So I get a mod warning but he gets off scot free for saying crap like this?

You can report if you want, I won't bother. Being provoked by Zero is like a little kid trying to attack you but you can just stretch out your arm to keep him from even being able to reach you.

Well deserved.


You're doing better ;) Unlike some!

The game is amazing. It's game of the generation for most who had a PS3, not talking about the trolls who say they own one.


Theirs 80 million PS3's ...The game just broke 4 million. It's not "game of the generation for most who had a PS3" Highly overated game , good game but not great and diffently not game of any generation.

A post right above you just said how you saying overrated is wrong. Most believe it deserves it, time to accept and move one.

So because your opnion is that you think it is the best, everyone else who thinks it's overrated is wrong? The game is overrated...there i said it since it's my opnion it must be true....per your thinking.

"Why do people use the term overrated when talking about an average score or award given by a community of people? A rating is an opinion given by someone and then translated into an award or score. If the general consensus is that this game is deserving of its score/award then it is literally impossible for said product to be overrated." Read this post if you haven't already so you can understand the meaning. 

Awards and score don't mean shit. It's still a matter of opnion....If i've played the game and don't agree that makes me wrong? Dances with wolves won 7 academy awards among numerous other awards, didn't much care for it a little OVERATED IN MY OPNION. and their are many other people who agree on both TLOU and DWW. Does not matter though it's a matter of opinion. Stop being butt-hurt cause i don't praise your game.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of how many people think it's a great game. You're opinion is of no worth whatsoever. These are awards, an amalgomation of opinions gathered together to form one obvious conclusion. In a poll of 1000 people, if 800 of those people vote YES, then those that voted NO are of no importance because YES won. Unless you believe that your solitary vote is worth more than 800 votes?

By all means dislike it but don't try to downplay the result because you don't like it. You appear to be the only one 'butt-hurt' here.

Wow, now that's a waterproof argument if I've ever seen one. "There's a huge amount of better games", great, not only is that an opinion but I would also bet that you have never even played TLOU, so that whole point is completely moot. I might just as well say, that there is no better game than TLOU and you know what? That point would be just as valid as yours while saying something completely different, magical how opinions work, right?

And just so you know, every "offense" or "provocation" you get thrown at yourself, you have only yourself to blame for, what goes around comes around.

refrain from talking to me if this is the "best" you can do.

Lol, refrain from talking to anybody on this forum then Zero (seriously, it would be a better place), you make the most ridiculous claims i have ever seen on the internet (and that's saying a lot) knowing that you cant provide even the most ridiculous amount of logic to back them up you then resort to petty insults to everyone's inteligence (because everyone is wrong, but you. Right. Whatever makes you sleep at night i guess).

And the most amazing thing is your consistence with this practice, i would have thought that after all this time of being utterly and completely wrong would have taught you SOMETHING, but alas, here we are with the same non-answers cop-outs from months ago.

I think TLoU suffers from the Metal Gear Solid 4 syndrome. When it came, it suddenly become a masterpiece. Critics of everywhere were praising MGS4. It didn't matter their bias or console of preference: it was just that good. Game of the Generation, already; it had almost the same meta than TLoU. (One point less).

 

It's 2013, and most people have forgotten that game.

 

Maybe it's not the case with TLoU. Maybe it stands against time and newer games, or maybe it won't. Only time will prove if I am wrong.

You're wrong.

For starters, there's a vocal minority that look back on MGS4 that way. It led to a point where GAF even had a revote in 2011 or so and MGS4 won GOTY for 2008 despite that. It is still very much considerd to be a masterpiece among many, including myself.

But why compare TLOU to MGS4? Compare it to UC2. That is a game that came out a mere year after MGS4 and even lacks that vocal minority and its made by ND as well. UC2 is just as relevant if not even more currently. It's in tons of GOTG votings and generally praised to hell even today. If you think TLOU which does everything better than UC2, will recieve a similar vocal minority to that of MGS4: Then you're just very wrong.

MGS4 also retconned a ton and generally had a fuckton of past to connnect to. TLOU and UC2 are practically standalone and it does not take a genious to realize that the praise for these games are not exactly easy to replica. It's not just one aspect either. If you truly look at where the praise is coming from, you'd be delusional to think it will be "forgotten" (which MGS4 even isn't but yeah, it has indeed a vocal minority that looks back on it going "what was I thinking").

The fact that UC2 which in my opinion, is weaker than UC3: Is still universally praised and considerd a masterpiece => Gives all reason in the world that TLOU is not going anywhere. It just did so much more.

I can't think of a clever reply to this, right now, but I'd like to keep this conversation some other time :)

Very entertaining thread. As the saying goes: 'opinions are like assholes...everybody has one and everybody thinks everybody else's stinks'

My opinion, no better or worse than anyone else's, is that TLOU is the best game I have played on any gaming platform ever. In last generation I have PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, 3DS and PC

Yes, because there are now far more "gaming media" outlets than ever (most of which are just somebody's website).

That doesn't hold any bearing on whether or not TLOU is "the best game of all time". I'd say it most certainly isn't, even if you just count other exclusives from Sony consoles.

Same reason why Legend of Zeld: Ocarina of Time's score is overrated and not accurate as the highest scoring game of all time.


Perhaps, except that when OoT came out in 1998, the internet was still in it's infant phases as far most people actually using it (or even having access to it) was concerned, and there were FAR less video game media outlets then than there are now. So unless a lot of OoT reviews are retro-reviews done more recently, then I'd question that theory a bit. Mind you, I don't even think OoT is the best Zelda, let alone the best game of all time. But I'm just saying.

Now it's settled, those "awards" have 0 credibility.


And mr poor wii-u sales predictions do? They have more credibility then anyone on this site.

cheap insults won't do any good to you.

But i am sure that if TLOU was switched for Mario 3d World it would be 1000% credible amirite zero?

BTW what do you think of WiiU's momentum (downwards) so far? Everything according to your predictions?

OT

Well deserved, one of the best games of last gen (tied with Dark/Demons Souls and Mirrors Edge for me) 

if we were talking about game of the year, 3d world would be correct. but this is a talk about most awarded game IN HISTORY, and neither 3d world nor tlou deserve that title. although 3d world would be a far less wrong choice than tlou.

as for the rest of your post, I won't respond to such a cheap provocation.

I can think of 20 games better than this imo. And there is more awards nowadays than there was even in 2007 for example.

Still well done to Naughty Dog, and the 5 mill people who enjoyed the game.

You lost credability with your opinion the day you gave Ryse an 8.8

(And thats disregarding a whole lot prior)
