I'd just like to know what kind of innovations you could be refering to, and which games we can find examples of these great gameplay innovations
'Go watch a film' doesn't really cut it. Why can't we have both? A game that is a cinematic experience. For some people a bad story would make a game boring and hard to immerse in. Everyone's different.
Indeed. Imagine the frustration of constantly alerting the enemy AI because your NPC didn't move when you wanted her too. Would drive you nuts. Haters gunna hate though.
What is that supposed to mean?
Lots of theories going around. Fireflies kill Joel for the hospital massacre and she's out for revenge and Joel is just in her mind in the trailer. Maybe the Fireflies did end up getting their hands on her and experimented on her forcefully, since they didn't think she'd come willingly again. Or Joel is manipulating her to do something.
Sorry it wasn't up to the standard of your amazing post, where you basically just hysterically scream how shit everything is. I'll do that next time.
as someone who doesn't give a feck it is pretty funny to read how precious people can be.What?
The gameplay is fine, the game mechanics are fine, no bugs. Fighting, shooting, movement are all very good and on a par with or better than most AAA titles. They aren't revolutionary, I'll give you that but gameplay alone doesn't make a great game. Its the fact that all other aspects of a great game are there, as well as strong gameplay. I mentioned all this in an earlier post.
MGS,Zelda and GTA kind of of revolutionary right? So to find a game revolutionary enough for you we have to start going back 10 years ago to the beginning of last gen? I'm guessing none of the games that have come out this gen and late last gen must be shit to you, or are these high standards only reserved for the Naughty Dog games?
Not really.
That's entirely your opinion. It depends on the type of game of course, but an action-adventure game with great gameplay and a poor story is an excercise in futility for me. Even so, you're massively exaggerating The Last of Us' gameplay shortcomings. The gameplay is functional at worst and at its best moments, such as when you're navigating through a clicker-infested area, very intense. The gunplay is satisfactory. And what you call pointless walking sections are a nice change of pace to take in the environments and atmosphere for those of us who do like it.
I think it's more that you're coming across all preachy that is irking people.
I agree. I wish they had introduced a new character(s) from another region as the possibilities are endless. At least it looks like they've skipped a few years forward.
Well they have brought on a write from westworld and also the guy who wrote the games original music which is fantastic.
Orginal Music = Great, Westworld = Bleh... kinda find that show a bit shit, with the writing being pretty awful.
To be honest I have not watched much beyond the first episode, I may come back to it eventually.
Joel is as nailed on to die as the token black guy.
The Last of Us garners the hype down to its story, character development, and atmospheric audio meshed into the world it creates. Most of your criticism is down to gameplay - which doesn't really change at all, and is often referred to as the major drawback of the game. If you're not enjoying it so far, I doubt it will suddenly burst into life for you. Stick with it though, once you build a rapport with Joel/Ellie, I think you'll enjoy it more.
I'll definitely see it through, but now I definitely expect it be like Uncharted 4 in that I was willing it to finish once I was getting to the end. Beautiful games to look at though.
It's quite an overrated game, doubt it'd age that well also.
It might break the immersion a little bit, but just imagine how annoying it would've been if NPC allies did tip off enemies? Stealth would've been a disaster. They chose the lesser evil.
Yep I just finished playing through this and it did make me laugh when Ellie is literally running around in front of the enemy and they are going "What was that sound over there?". But as Ainu said it would have killed the stealth side of the game if they did react.
