I'm a bit skeptical. I put down Uncharted 2 after a couple hours and everyone was crowing about how awesome that game was

Is it a thread about UC2?

UC2 still hasn't won 200 GOTY awards. TLOU and UC2 are 2 very different games.

I love the game, but using YouTube personalities as legit reviews? No. Just...no.

I think we have our game of the generation with TLOU: Remastered. Honestly I think there is no game in this entire 8th gen that will ever match this monster. Well done Naughty Dog... Well done.


You sound like you haven't played games for very long.


You are right! I only play Sony games after all.

I can understand people being excited or not being excited, just not getting the outrage some people express.

It's based completely on a semantic basis. Had it been "The Last of Us: Game of the Year Edition", no one would care.

But since it's called "The Last of Us: Remastered", haters come out of the woodwork with "why are they remaking a year old game? This is just a cash grab. blah blah blah"

Had the content been identical and it was a PS3 release, this game wouldn't have made a peep (like I said: just a GOTY version of the game). But because it's on PS4 and is gonna help boost sales a little (because this version is targeted at PS4 OWNERS WHO DIDN'T OWN A PS3 AND THEREFORE DIDN'T GET TO PLAY THE ORIGINAL RELEASE), the haters have to find a reason to, well....hate it. In this case "remaking a year old game", when it's just a re-release with bonus content.

Beating a dead horse here but........This gen has already had way too many remakes of last gen games. TLOU and GTA 5 are the biggest offenders because they are planning on selling more DLC, so these arent even proper GOTY releases. If it was for your bolded statement they could just offer it through PSNOW. The success of this, GTA 5, Tomb Raider and its ilk will result in more rereleases and likely less new games. The fear is rather than fill in content gaps(for console owners)/profit gaps(for publishers) with lower budgeted(which doesnt mean bad) games they will just release nostilga games from last gen upscaled to 1080. Much as many have complained about the future implications of the EA access pass becoming a success, people are complaining of the current gen remaster trend.

There are shit rereleases/gotys (Naughty Bear, Tropico 4) that have happened but no one complained cause no one bought those games in the first place. This gets more attenion because this forum is mostly Sony and wont shut up about this game. You dont see a new GTA 5 thread every day around here so you will see less complaints about that and more abotu TLOU. There is already a thread about TLOU reviews and here we are with another TLOU:R thread.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

The funny part is that AJ is more credible than all those IGNorant and Gamespot reviewers!

The large majority of reviewers are no more professional than any random Youtuber. An AngryJoe review is worth just as much (if not more) as one from IGN or Gametrailers or whatever.

what difficulty was he playing on?. I watched a little bit, with him playing the beginning. Oh man he sucked.. lol

but i like how he loves the game :) its awesome in so many ways. so many tricks, techniques, ways to get past each area, still finding new ways lol

I think he plays on normal, though he later basically says that he also played at the higher difficulties, he has a ton of supplies at some point in the video, more than you'd have most of the time on the higher difficulties.

It could've won 1000 GOTY awards and it wouldn't make a lick of difference.  Same developer, same 'movie that you play' model.  I enjoy games where gameplay is the focus of the game and not exposition.  I watched the review video and the combat looked lousy.

I don't see Angry Joe on Metacritic or Gamerankings. It's like saying Pewdiepie is reliable.

He covers everything single detail when he does a review, something ''legit'' reviewers fail to mentiom or just plain ignore. Check his titanfall review.
