I sexually identify as PC gamer and I am currently playuing through TLOU for the first time, and it's much better than the walking dead

The main problem with TLOU is that there are too many unnecessary filler segments between the cutscenes.

TLOU isn't a bad game by any means, but it certainly isn't half as great as people hype it up to be.

TLOU has good gameplay that isnt explored at all in the single player game. Sources: The fact that they were able to make the multiplayer mode compelling but the single player gameplay is boring

I challenge anyone who says this to play on Survivor or Grounded and get back to me. because every gameplay aspect is explored out of necessity in the harder difficulties and it's a much better game for it.

There aren't that many stealth elements to the game to begin with, especially compared to other notable stealth combat titles.

it's not really a stealth game and a lot of people seem to get put off because they try to play it that way for the whole game.

i think last of us has really cool stealth and combat, like you're murdering them one by one and you're a real scary brutal motherfucker, its fun to take them out when they're hunting around for you and know you're there, they react very well to you switching positions. The ability to see through walls kinda ruins the game a little bit.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they feel about the Witcher 3.

For example there are people in this thread that don’t like it, and their opinions are trash.

this is why i cant help but think video games should only ever have one difficulty level

ninja gaiden on nes is still legendary for its difficulty but if it had an easy mode a poo poo ton of people would have just played that, thought it was boring, and forgotten it completely

It's nuts to think back to Witcher 2 and how cool and distinctive the forest level was, the ancient architecture and gigantic trees felt truly otherworldly. To be fair, Witcher 3 couldn't do the same thing because its mission statement was to cash in on the Skyrim craze

Witcher 2 had one of the most ballsy content splits I'd ever seen. The paths you choose locked you out of whole hubs and plot points. Haven't seen anything quite like it except Tyranny.

Never did go back to play the other, non-roache path though. :negative:

Calling The Last of us terrible is such a stone cold dumbass opinion it could only come from a goon. It's hilarious how many of you are still little contrarian high school edgelords that think hating popular thing x makes you cool. Also, TLOU has killer gameplay.

I think the goon opinion is coming from the person that has been aggro as gently caress for eight months whenever someone criticizes a video game they like.

Like I said, some people prefer different things in games. I don't care if you like The Last of Us or that people think it's a good game. I was speaking from the viewpoint of someone that doesn't care about story at all and how I feel about a game that provokes such fanatical devotion from people like you because of the emotional impact of it's story. The only thing I look for, gameplay, is extremely lacking when you aren't also judging it based on how it makes you feel.

The Witcher 3 is another similar example of the same concept. I just picked The Last of Us because it's the strongest example of the disparity between people who like story and people who don't. "Gone Home" is another example since that is as interactive as a PDF document but it's hailed as true art because of what it says.

Lol that's not what you said though. You said it was terrible. Don't try to pull the "I'm just being reasonable" card. I'm not even talking about the story. I'm specifically saying you are dead loving wrong about TLOU's gameplay. It's fun, complex, dynamic, nuanced and one of my top games in regards to the gameplay specifically. I hear people say it's bad every now and then and without fail, they are just people that suck at it. The multiplayer has managed to wrangle me in for almost 6 years when no other game has managed to do that for 6 months. I've played the story mode quite a few times too and it's insanely good on the highest difficulties.

If you don't like it that's fine, but if you are going to matter of factly state the gameplay is bad after fumbling your way through 1 playthrough I'm going to call you out. Don't try and act like an expert about a game that has had a die hard following for the better part of a decade.

TLoU is yet another cover shooter with a story and characters tailor made to pluck at the heartstrings of lonely morons. Also TLoU2 is very much the same thing but now features Butch Ellie and her ugly sweaty girlfriend that reeks of garbage (by her own admission).

RPGs generally have those dumbed down systems in order to accommodate more variety in character builds; cover shooters only exist because an analogue stick can't aim as well as a mouse

TLoU appears to have decent gameplay wrapped in a lovely story and boring single-player content- the antidote to which appears to be (if you believe those with terrible opinions) playing multiplayer or turning the difficulty up to a mode where a single hit kills you so you have some sort of distraction from how hard the game is trying not to be laughably luke-warm.

When I compare it to a game like Re4 which has decent gameplay wrapped in a hokey story with amazingly fun single-player content, I find myself wanting nothing to do with a game like TLoU.

But lol dads and lesbians and feels. The new age of gaming is lame as gently caress.
