Last of Us Overrated?

Hell yes. 26 16.25%

It was underrated 26 16.25%
 
Total:160

I would agree that the last of us is overrated, to an extent, but I believe it is still a good game, a very good one at that. It was not the earth shattering, paradigm shifting, killer app that propelled video games from simple hobby to high art as some of the hype that preceded it seemed to suggest however.

But to ask why make a ps4 version is silly, because it will make money.



Around the Network

Of course its over rated. In a few years it won't even crack the best games of all time list. The only reason its doing it now is the Playstation fans are frenzied like crazy. They expected a great game and got one that there was no obvious problems with. So it suddenly became the greatest game of all time.

They did the same thing with Metal Gear Solid 4, and now they are troubled to even put it on their favorite game list. Lets continue the list why don't we with God of War 3 and Killzone 2. Good games sure, but not to the level the Sony mob made them out to be.

Sony fans are so gullible to this kind of thing. I don't give them any credibility at all anymore.

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.

i really did. I was not expecting much to begin with then when i actually got into the game after the 10-15 minute long opening that was boring as shit. I was like wow this fucking sucks its like playing a shitty version of fallout 3 with the same gunplay as any other naughtydog game.

not my type of game. I hated it. enough said.


see the problem isnt with you hating the game, i dont give a shit about that. its about you flat out lying when it comes to the game. gunplay is like any other naughty dog game? the only other shooter they made was Uncharted, just for the record. but even though, Gunplay is very different from uncharted. 

in TLoU you have VERY limited ammo, so avoiding confrontation is always the prefered option. second, when shooting with limited ammo in TLoU you take a while to focus and aim your shots so you dont waste bullets. in Uncharted you mow down enemies because Ammu is fucking every where.  also in TLoU the reaction to taking bullits/hits is much more aparent than Uncharted and most "generic shooters" for that matter, making it harder to shoot and aim. 

Also, in the first 20 minutes or so in TLoU, there is no gunplay. but oh, now you played 30-35 minutes, not 20 like you previously said. anyways, in the first 15 minutes after the opening, there is very little gunplay, and if you play the game right, there is no gunplay at all. so please, spare us your lies. 

 

you can have your opinion about the game, nobody has a problem with that. but when you want to talk about the game, just remember the people who liked it and are discussing it with you, actually played it, were you have obviously did no such thing.

It has over 200 GOTY awards, how is that overrated? It is unanimously the game of the year. All those reviewers can't be wrong (mainly cause its their opinion) and they weren't paid (Sony can't afford that noise)

Now, if you didn't like the game, oh well. Shit happens, it doesn't appeal to everyone. Some people thought it was deep, emotional, meaningful and engaging while you thought otherwise.

Now that you got hits on your thread by going against the grain, i bid you good day.


Who says Sony can't pay people out?  Isn't the point of this thread that it's already established that TLOU is a well recieved game.  It just didn't deserve it IMO, and if it weren't so pretty to look at, and the theme so easily digested, I think people would see that too.

Did it ever cross your mind that the games used those themes to relate to its audience? The loss of love ones, depression, isolation, desperation, the unexplainable love for someone, the kind you would fuck anything in your path to hold on to. These themes are relatable to people, we have all suffer tragedy at one point of another.

I will give you one thing, the themes are not original. I can admit to that but that is not a negative. What matters is how it is presented and TLOU excels in its story telling to showcase familiar themes in approchable and relative ways. BI was also great but it started to be come more mindblowing as it went on, making it hard to connect with the characters because of the big "reveals" that were shown at the end. TLOU was not counting on big, mindblowing revelations, hence why you think they are "predictable."
