Monster Factory is amazing, if you haven't already tracked down their other series like Griffin's Amiibo Corner and Tomodachi Survivor they're pretty fun too. Even the quick looks are usually entertaining so long as a McElroy is involved.

I don't really read or care about the site proper but it's nice to see that people are still holding a grudge over a three year old console hardware review I guess.

what exactly makes TLoU good? Nothing about it sounds good

I think what essentially makes it good; and contrasted to Uncharted in this sense; is that the game FEELS incredibly satisfying to play in all of its elements. Sneaking up and murdering a guy feels good; shooting guys feels good, especially since the guns all feel powerful, heavy, and every shot counts 'cause ammo is scarce. Melee combat is simple but satisfying, as is the crafting systems.

The game's soundtrack and atmosphere are spot on as well. Where Uncharted feels inconsistent and unsatisfying, TLoU feels cohesive and cathartic. The only real problem with the game is that it really takes about two hours to get into the proper pacing; the opening sequences are all the worst bits of gameplay, and everything beyond then is vastly better.

It's a game that I think is enhanced by playing it in somewhat short sessions. Pacing it out lets you focus on its strengths and not get distracted by its flaws when they pop up. For what it wants to do it does well, and it does this through gameplay just as much as through visuals.

It looks pretty decent, like they put a classic-style Hitman on Absolution's graphics/gameplay engine. Obviously the quality of the actual missions is still up in the air but it's unlikely to be bad.

Are you a BigMac of imbeciles!?
The Last of Us is the best game I've only ever played once. I even rebought it when it was remastered on PS4, but still haven't even stuck it in to replay it... mostly because, god drat, that narrative hit me hard the first time I played it.

I do need to note that I absolutely hate how Naughty Dog does their trophies though. Speaking of Last of Us specifically, having a trophy for playing through all of the difficulties, and for playing through all of the difficulties using New Game+, is a dick move.

I'm not even gonna touch the Nathan Drake Collection's Brutal difficulties with a 10 foot pole.

How is it "a grudge" to point out that a website promised to uphold journalistic integrity then almost immediately broke it?

Jeez, I can't believe people still hold a grudge against Nixon for that whole "Watergate" thing :rolleyes:

Also the Last of Us has a really good & strong narrative but it's very much an old-school "gameplay then cutscene, gameplay then cutscene" experience that doesn't even attempt to marry the two together.

Speaking of Molydeux and the McElroys, CoolGames Inc is a fun podcast about making an imaginary game based on prompts from Twitter users and mashing together random gaming buzzwords, like a game with "social media permadeath" where if you die in the game it blasts hate speech from your linked Twitter and Facebook account.

Oh this is the meme I hate too, when people use something as an easy point of reference and everyone starts kneejerking about how you're trying to compare the two in terms of impact or severity when that's clearly not the case.
