Gone home. Ehhhhhh. My parents embraced my coming out so I can't relate to the emotional hook of the dumb twist, so I think it's bad. I'm sure for everyone who lived through something like that was brought to tears but anyway Would have been better to go for being the mystery thriller it pretends to be. So It's a bad game because it's just a nonlinear storybox and the story is bad. The concept of just unraveling a story in an atospheric setting is an okay concept though

This might not be a truly unpopular opinion in a vacuum but among the people who like The Last of Us it probably is: I wish Naughty Dog wasn't making a sequel. Or, failing that, I wish the sequel didn't feature any characters from the first one. I thought the ending was satisfying in its ambiguity and open-endedness and I think that following up on it kinda ruins it in retrospect. I didn't want to know what happens next. I also feel the same way about Bloodborne but that's just because I think FromSoft's direct sequels are much less interesting, and luckily that one doesn't seem to be happening. veni veni veni posted: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. The Last of Us is one of the rare games where difficulty setting makes a massive difference in how fun it actually is to play. On Normal or lower it's a snoozefest, but on Hard or higher it's great. I think the only real difference between Normal and Hard is how many resources are available and that makes a surprisingly big difference all on its own. When you actually don't have enough ammo to shoot your way through most situations, and when you really do have to make decisions about what you should craft with your resources, it's a much more satisfying game to play.

the last of us is a very pretty game and was mostly fun but i think it would've been better if shorter. too many bits drag on for ages, usually in the most boring setpieces.

So there are these Asari, right. They look like humans exceed they are blue and they have little wavy parts instead of hair. Also they are all women who live to be 1000 years old but still look young. And they love to gently caress. They will gently caress any species and any gender, but if they get pregnant, which can happen even with other females, they will only make more blue fembabes. Also they have psychic powers and their oldest profession is "Commando Scientist". They have the smartest scientists and the sexiest commandos. And every species in the galaxy loves and respects them. - A writer, at Bioware, who expects his work to be taken seriously.

If you’re playing games for the story it should be a point and click or one of the bad Cage movie games. If you’re playing a game for the story and it has boring cover shooting in between or really mediocre third person swording you’re a dumb dumb.

To be fair to Bioware, the whole Mass Effect series is a scifi pastiche, and you can't do a scifi pastiche without sexy alien babes. It's like complaining about the characters having super powers which are only tenuously connected at best to the idea of the "mass effect". It's SCIFI with big capital letters, you've got to have psychic powers. What is surprising about that chart is that men get so many options when they're not what you would assume to be the target audience for romance content

People always say "if you play game X in Y mode than the game turns from boring/bad to great!" But with the sole exception of Metro 2033's Ranger mode I've never found this to be the case. Chances are if a game is boring/bad in one difficulty or mode it's boring/bad period. Rarely are a game's problems remedied by flipping a switch.

Rarely are a game's problems remedied by flipping a switch. It's definitely rare and I wouldn't say that The Last of Us magically transforms from "bad" to "great" when you crank up the difficulty, but it definitely gets more interesting. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that Normal mode is poorly balanced for the kind of experience Naughty Dog wanted to create. You're supposed to be really ammo-starved and you're supposed to be limited enough on crafting resources that the choices they designed into the crafting system--like how molotovs and med kits have the same components--are actually worth thinking about for more than a second. On Normal, ammo and crafting resources are common enough that you never really feel that squeeze. If you're a decent shot you can gun-fight your way out of more situations than you probably should, and you're rarely in a position where getting hit and having to make a med kit is a major sacrifice. On Hard and above, that's no longer the case. Resources are rare enough that it actually changes how you play. Again, though, it's not magic. It just increases the tension of the sneaking and combat sections in a way that feels right for the kind of game it is, and that improves the experience a good amount, or at least it did for me.

Rarely are a game's problems remedied by flipping a switch. it depends on whether or not the devs made a good difficult game, then made that "hard mode" and dumbed it down to make "normal" super stupid boring easy so they could sell their game to toddlers if they did that then everyone who plays "normal" thinks "this game is stupid and boring"
