Forums - Gaming - I quit The Last of Us after 5 minutes

Wow, and I thought Colin Moriarty had terrible judgement of arguing against reviewers (who completed the story and played a a great number of hours akin to RPGs) giving Breath of the Wild high scores by saying it's not that highly rated based only on two hours and not completing the tutorial area. It's very ignorant, but then again being a former IGN staff, can't spell ignorance without IGN.

I think OP is trolling. No serious gamer quits a game after 5 minutes, especially one as great as the LoU.

Its not just tlou i dropped alan wake, tomb raider in 5/10 mins

Its simple if i dont have a vibe coming from a game i drop it, sorry you feel the need to protect the system

I agree with this. To me, there are so many good games out there, why waste time with something you aren’t clicking with. Do you like pushing wooden pallets and laughably bad stealth gameplay? No? Then you aren’t missing much imho.

I quit Gears 3 after a similar time. Part of the first stage was enough for me to see it was the same tired formula so many games were taking last gen and I noped right out and went back to Guardians of Middle Earth or something else I was enjoying back then.

It gave me the same vibe as detroit become human which i dropped after about an hour.

So i cut my lossed and rather went on my 6th run in darksiders 3

Very good. With that attitude you don't deserve TLoU.

In a way, he's right, you know.

Everytime I hear this "oh, but it gets good / better after the first three hours or so" excuse I can't help but wonder why the fuck the developers didn't start the game at the three hour mark or whatever.

No one has to play anything that it isn't clicking just because others claim it's the best thing since sliced bread. Such labels, of course, suspiciously get thrown around more often everytime a game is an exclusive.



 

 

 

 

 

Didn't miss much, I think it is ultra boring and has super dumb AI and an unsatisfying ending. But you should at least have played longer nevertheless before you judge it.



I have TONS of "great" games that I've logged in approximately an hour or less. And I have tons of games I replay and even re-buy over and over again. I guess time isn't the issue. It's just motivation.

I replay the entire Resident Evil, Gears of War (but not Judgment), Halo, Arkham series every year or two. I've purchased Metal Gear 2 and 3 more times than I can count! Dragon's Dogma and Pikmin 3 are my go to games.

Meanwhile I'm minutes into Witcher 3 (at least before I got the Switch version), Red Dead Redemption 2, and others. It's okay. Play what you like on whatever hardware you like. You don't have anything to prove to anyone. We're all just looking for that game that makes us want to stay up late at night because we're addicted to it. Playing a game shouldn't be a chore. I can understand why these story based "walking Sims" with action scattered about aren't for everyone.

5 mins? Haven’t even left the room/house... I’d probably try to play for at least 1-2 hours and see how it goes before making a decision.
That being said I’ve only played BoTW for 5 mins and I didn’t even like it, but then again I’ve only played for 5 mins, next time I play it I will force myself to at least put more game time in BoTW to actually make up my own mind.

I know that not every game is for everyone but I’d at least give it an hour or 2 before I call it quits, perhaps that might change as the game progresses.



I don't believe the OP and really see this as, more than likely, a poor attempt at trolling. With all the videos and threads we have had on here about this game, there is absolutely no way that an informed gamer on VGC could think that TLOU is anything like Detroit, which is more like a point and click game.
