Man, I had this argument. Saying 'well this game did this facet better, and this other game was better at this' etc. Games are a culmination of artforms. Parts of a whole.

I don't know about TLoU, never played it, but just because a game isn't the best in a single category doesn't imply the game isn't fantastic as a whole. Yes, Planesacape Torment has fantastic writing, but fuck is it paced like a snail with mechanics that drag it down.

I never said I was looking for good stories in video games, but as far as they go this one isn't so bad. There's nothing wrong with a videogame trying to tell a story that's somehow reminiscent of literature.

I bet you read it in English though, uncultured swine.

>>343364687
Because the way those games told their stories was way more innovative and interesting than anything TLoU does? Deus Ex constantly reacts to your actions as a player, making you feel like an integral part of the game world. Kill too many people at Liberty Island? Carter will comment on it when you get back UNATCO. Give Gunther a gun after rescuing him? He'll have your back when you report back to Manderley.

The story in TLoU isn't bad, but it's hardly a shining example of video game storytelling. It shouldn't be controversial to say that there have been quite a few games that have managed to tell their stories in much more interesting ways that actually play to the medium's strengths.

Y'know, I think Colin Moriarty put it best when he was reviewing Uncharted 4 on the Kinda Funy Gamescast.

He essentially told an aside in which his wife was watching him play the game and was supremely invested. She was actually shocked to the poinbt of saying "I didn't know games could be like this." And Colin replied with "well, this ISN'T what games are like as a whole, this is the top echelon." And that's really the point. The Last of Us is a breakthrough in expression of humanity and presentation in games - the height of which can engage regular people and make you invested in what is happening. It's skill and precision in direction but all interactive and challenging and all the more rewarding.

What do you mean by "pretty good"?

There's not a single game world in any game as large and packed to the brim with meaningful well written quests and attention to detail as Witcher 3.

tetris, mario, doom, d44m, anything old really, anything good really.

I'd argue platinum but that's just bad story not no story. but I feel like the arguement is there because the games better without the story.

Plenty of people like the game.

Because it's a good game. "Citizen Kane of gaming" is a retarded statement, in any capacity, but the game was good. Sorry you're too much of a hipster to enjoy it.

>>343372090
Tetris, Doom, Mega Man, most racing games, Super Metroid, I could go on

Yeah some of the ones I mentioned have stories but they're so barebones and/or non-existent that it barely factors into my enjoyment of them at all

It was overrated. Not bad, but not nearly as good as people made it out to be.

It really shouldn't get a sequel. Let a good thing die good.
>>
I want a sort of prequel.
Based during the 20 year skip, show him being a hunter/raider or whatever they were called in the game. We already know he's not exactly a good guy, so show us some of the shit he had to do and the choices he had to make in order to survive that time and show us how he became such a jaded and skilled killer.
>>
>>343373965

but Uncharted got 3 sequels and 4's the best one
>>
Does anyone else think they should've let Joel die when he got impaled at the university? I feel it would've helped to set the game apart from the million other stories that have a moment of "the player character's totally gonna die guys! LOL JUST KIDDING". It definitely would've fit the theme of the world better, because you know if any other character besides Joel or Ellie got railing rammed through their fucking abdomen and then pulled it out, pouring blood for at least an hour, they wouldn't miraculously recover. Even if they absolutely had to have a point where Ellie had to take responsibility for her own survival to develop her character without getting rid of Joel, there's surely something they could do that's more interesting, especially in a game with a story that's praised as "10/10 literally the best thing possible". There are other moments like that in the game. I saw Tess dying a thousand miles away and knew when I first met Henry and Sam that at least one of them would die. The game's story was good but it really wasn't as groundbreaking as people say.

>>343374906
Honestly, I don't know. I get that pretty much every interesting story has been told. The point I tried to make is that so much of the praise that The Last of Us gets is because people say it's new, which simply isn't true. I don't think it's bad because of this, as I even called it a good story in the part you quoted, it just shouldn't get bonus points like it does for being different if it's not.

There are people in this thread that actually can't empathise with Joel or understand the feelings he had that would cause him to make the decision he did at the end of the game.

He's correct with at least two out of those three, though. If I was to expand his list, I'd put in FF7 and BioShock Infinite.
>>
>>343373840
basically unless you're playing on babby mode, you are going to need to use stealth takedowns and melees a vast majority of the time and only use bullets when there's simply no other way to survive/advance.

you do this because you almost never have enough ammo. get good enough at it and then you'll fill up your meager ammo reserves and then it'll feel like that each time you actually do manage to find some ammo.

now there are some crafting supplies that you simply will never have enough of. that's made worse since each material has multiple uses.
>>
>>343377396
I swear the game force-feeds you scissor pieces and glue and nothing else. Jesus christ, I'd kill for anything besides those two items.

Exactly, these moments are supposed to encourage the player to take a moment to look around and explore the game maybe find some supplies or collectables, talk to the npcs or even just change the pace so the whole thing is just a shoot bang. Jesus 4chan some of you ppl are incredibly jaded

It makes the game less challenging. That's the problem. TLOU actually isn't that difficult, and replayability is low if you don't care about the story, or even if you do.

I don't remember any prior Uncharted having a rope, as big as levels, optional dialogues, these render modes, grass, the ability to bypass most of the game with stealth, multiple throwable items aside from grenades, contextual strategies like dynamite pumps, sliding, as much destructible cover, etc.

But okay, you definitely played the games and know what you're talking about.

TLoU was the most boring and unpleasant experience I've had with a game.
The game controls like absolute ass, freedom of movement is sacrificed for realistic characters movement, it's annoying ass hell playing the game feels like a chore.
No joke, %70 of the game is walking and talking and the other %30 is some of the worst cover shooting segments I've ever faced in a video game.
The Last of Us is the most overrated video game of all time, it's mediocre, boring and controls like ass.
If this was a movie and not a video game it would fucking come and go.
