That's ridiculous; the argument had nothing to do with Nintendo games anyway.

I wasn't before but after watching that trailer, I am excited.

Well, it's his opinion. He didn't make any implications about anyone who disagrees with him. Just as he can doubt the validity of the numerous GOTY awards that The Last of Us received, you can doubt the validity of his opinion. I don't see what's the problem. 

And there is a serious problem with the argumentum ad populum argument that you used. The game market is much larger than it was when the gems of the SNES/PS1. Video game journalism was small then, and almost eclusively in print. You couldn't win 200+ GOTY awards simply becuase there weren't that many publications to gave them out (also considering that GOTY tradition was less developed back then). And there is also the problem of argument ad populum itself - that even though the majority opinion suggests that it is more likely that they are right, there is no logical proof. He can doubt it if he presents arguments, which you never asked him to do. 

I've nowhere stated that it has anything to do with Nintendo games. In the recent weeks, especially threads regarding The Last of Us, all get derailed by baiting comments by well known, or quite clearly when check their avatars, sigs, and post histories - Nintendo fans.

You can't have a thread discussing the topic at hand without idiotic comments like "lol it's the same game", "lol it's a movie, it plays itself", "is the upgrade 5$? Lol", etc.etc And there goes the thread, you have 3 pages of pointless debates that are not even discussing the topic

The funniest (or saddest) thing is that those who whine have no interest in buying the game, and majority probably doesn't even have a PS4.

I thought TLOU was a great game, but when people say it is the greatest piece of software ever made or even the best game of last gen I completely disagree. I won't be buying the Remastered version as I feel it will be very similar to last year's game, but people who skipped it on PS3 should definitely play through it.  People saying TLOU is better than say Super Metroid, Ocarina of Time, Symphony of the Night and DooM (among others) are crazy, but hey opinions.

Been in the mood for it since E3. Had to resist playing the PS3 version again.

What was the best game of seventh gen, in your opinon?

Mass Effect 2, very closely followed by Battlefield Bad Company 2.  On my top 50 of all time games list we made last year on this forum TLOU got #25.  I think it was #5 for 7th GEN overall on the same list.  I had ME2, BC2, Borderlands 2, and RDR above it and Uncharted 2 was right below it at #26 of all time.

I just could not get into ME2. I was so bored. BC2 was good, but I don't even think it's in the same er "company" as RDR or Borderlands 2. RDR is definitely a top contender, I agree...and I'd agree with Borderlands 2 as well (only if including all dlc).

However, borderlands has a lot of "filler", so I would've ranked it lower.

But, I'm glad, you seem to have good taste. #5 is a very good spot, as is #25 on best of all time. I'd say you don't completely disagree. You jsut disagree a bit. :D

To make it short, the game pretty much plays itself for part of the game, but it picks up eventually. Just live through it and It'll be worth it!
