I loved TLoU to death, but yes I definitely feel it was overrated. A port of a less than 1 year old game that was already in HD is odd IMO. I am not going to pay for it again until it is really cheap as I played it twice in past year already. When I see critics and gamers go on and on about how it is the greatest piece of software ever released in history for anything I totally don't remotely agree with that. Amazing game but undoubtedly overrated. But hey, opinions.  If others want to buy it, more power to them.  Also, if you skipped it on 3 or came from Xbox only BUY IT for sure!

It's a very good game that people made out to be the second coming of Christ. So yes, it is a little over rated.

I'll ignore it when you ignore others' opinions. You're the one calling it overrated. Why does it matter to you?

the same reason it does to you.

-Original story.  Typical zombie fare. Original story? Are you praising the game or hating on it? I think you mean "Unnoriginal". If it was original that would mean it was unique and something you've never seen before. Learn the difference. Also, they're not fucking zombies.

-Enemy A.I was stupid as hell. Play on Survivor difficulty then if you don't find it difficult enough.

-While the graphics were great, they could have crafted a more imaginitive world.  Wasted oppourtiny. How could they have crafted a more imagitnitive world? Give us examples, cause no one knows what the hell you're talking about.

-Ellie said some of the stupidest irrelevent lines since The Wand of Gamelon. Again...examples. If you are talking about her joke book, then thats just meant to lighten the mood. She was saying silly puns and jokes from her joke book, they're meant to be stupid and silly.

-Gameplay was slow and easy. You tell me it's a generic shooter, but what generic shooter is slow paced? Generic shooters are fast paced games like Battlefield and Call of Duty. Also, as I said before, if you found the game too easy, play on survivor difficulty.

-Stealth didn't matter since you could brute force your way through it on almost all the difficulties.  Good luck with this on survivor. You have limited resources, so most of the time you don't even have any ammo and therefore have to resort to using stealth tactics to take our your enemies one by one. 

-Crafting/invention felt mindless and irrelevent. How the hell did it feel mindless and irrelevant? You crafted useful materials like health packs and bombs, thats irrelevant? You need health packs because there's no health regeneration (Also proving that it's not a generic shooter, as you claim it is) and then you craft things like bombs and smoke grenades so that you can use them when you find yourself out of ammo or you're being surrounded by enemies and feel it's better to throw a grenade, instead of popping your head out to shoot.


1.  I'll let you anwser than one for yourself.  The fungus setting, the generic female lead I could go on.

2.  On Surivial it didn't feel hard, it felt cheap.  The other modes were easy once you figure out that you can be as bold as you want when you're fight the zombies, and trick the shit out of the human enemies.

3.  Bioshock infinite, Mario Galaxy 2? 

4.  I never called it a generic shooter.  Don't put words in my mouth.  I think it's a generic version of resident evil with pretty graphics and music. 

5.  See 2.

6.  There was no complexity to it, and I found myself using it just for health packs.

Oh as for Ellie's stupid quotes

AFTER A FIGHT "Oh look, all this music.  It's so sad, there's no more to listen to it."

There's another one where she says something to the effect of "Do you think there will be rabbits there?"  OUT of no where.

MY GOD! She spoke OUT OF NOWHERE. I can't believe it, guys

Not to mention he's wrong...It's not after a fight. It's in Bills Town, right after you enter it. It's the long section where you're just basically exploring and avoiding the little traps Bill had set up. I honestly don't even think he's played the game.

Yep its overrated as hell.

i played twenty minutes of if and I was just done. It was a generic shooter. I can careless about story if I wanted to watch a movie I would.

I think its a really dumb move. Not for money sakes but for just giving other companies the incentive to re release 1 year old games and expect them to sell. its sending a bad message.

 

yup. this is just proof you never played the game. TLoU has a huge focus on Melee and limited Ammo. it can in no way be a "generic shooter" because it doesnt play like one.

What do you guys think? 

I think your problem is you went in with a whole bunch of preconceptions and that ruined the experinence for you. As a reviewer, that's one's job but as a gamer that's no way to play a game. TLOU reminded of me of the first dead space, with less gore. I completly immersed myself in the game, and thats the way its supposed to be played.

The Multiplayer which I didn't play might be a shooter, but the single player is barely qualified as a shooter. Guns are basically the quickest way to die when fighting clickers and infected. They are only ever good against human opponents and then even when conserving ammo I still never had more than like 20 shots. I would consider it more of a stealth game rather than a shooter, even the concept of running and gun makes absolutely no sense when talking about TLOU single player.

I went into Bioshock with the same expectations and Bioshock was a game I actually enjoyed.  It's not like I think every game which is well recieved is overrated, just this one, mostly

Are you kidding me? Bioshock Infinite, while having a fantastic story, wonderful character and beautiful  settings, was way more of a generic shooter than TLOU. I felt myself being dumbed down from time to time going up against wave after wave of enemies in BI, while in the TLOU, the fighting are farther apart, even then you can feel it start to weigh down on your inventory, especially at higher levels. In BI, i'd just wait until Elizabeth thru me something or dash around to find countless guns on the ground.

Like I said BioShock was in a more played out genre but manage to make it original.  

I never called TLOU a generic shooter.  I called it a generic survial game.  A low quailty RE rehash.

Sorry.  I didn't hate the game, I just though there was at least five better games in 2013, and I don't even game that much.

Correct? Plus you even called it a generic survivor horror game...

5.  See 2.

6.  There was no complexity to it, and I found myself using it just for health packs. 

I'm not gonna bother addressing your other comments...I just don't care enough.
