are you retarded? walking dead threads lasted like a week and they were obviously tv crossposters. otherwise those games go under the radar
>great multiplayer mode
console players have no taste in shooters

Because it's grossly overrated for being Uncharted with a sprinkling of survival horror and above average characterization for a video game. It's alright but the dick sucking it's received is way overblown.

It failed at both gameplay and story.

The strongest part of the story was the little girl treating the older man like her father. Cute at first, but it's basically all there is to the game. It's a predictable short story made video game.

It is a genuinely good game, but it's exclusive and normies love it.

There you go. Any game that is loved by normies instantly triggers 4chan's hipster mode AND it's a Sony exclusive being discussed in Nintendogaf.

Obviously the discussion is around how it can't be good. It stands for everything people here stand against.

It has an ok plot, bad stealth and decent combat, it's not a bad game it doe's for the walking dead and the road what uncharted did for Indiana Jones and National Treasure.
Takes the core plot ideas and mix's them with middling to good gameplay, then throws a ton of cash and polish on top.

/v/ actually respects the gameplay and interactive aspects of the video game medium.
Normies OTOH are still unconsciously ashamed of video games being "toys" for "manchildren" and want them to be more like "respected" pastimes such as film, music and sports.

At least in the US. Japan (and, to a lesser extent, Europe) have far less of a stigma attached to video games. Surprise, surprise, their games are more gameplay-centric and focused toward enthusiasts over casuals and titles like The Last of Us and Gone Home aren't as popular over there.

>>386062231

Gamespot was the only honest site & gave it a fair 8/10, because it does have utterly broken Ai & games in the 90's got fucking annihilated for that, TLOU shouldn't be given a free pass

>>386067119
>/v/ actually respects the gameplay and interactive aspects of the video game medium.
Not really, there are lots of games with bad gameplay that get a pass here because of their themes and their art specially if they're japanese, and don't get me wrong I do think japanese games are overall better than western AAA games but there are also lots of japanese games with really bad gameplay that get a lot of praise.

Can anyone tell me why it's so good then without posting metacritic scores and what it did that was so revolutionary than it's "Maybe mankind is the REAL monster here!" plot to deserve it's praise?

>>386062231
/v/ is actually willing to go against the grain, for the most part, instead of being a bunch of sycophantic apologists like you find on most sites.

It's only hated because how much praise it gets. It's not deserving of a 10/10 just because it has pretty graphics or interesting characters. I enjoyed the story and presentation but the gameplay is pretty repetitive, the stealth sucks, and the upgrade/crafting mechanics were not at all interesting.

>>386062231
It's a fine game but the hype it got by faggot game """journalists""" is hilarious. It did nothing to push the medium forward or give us anything we haven't experienced ad nauseum before, but peopel were so ready for a game that made vidya mature art for mature people such as myself they jizzed all over it.

I wouldn't call it the "citizen kane of gaming" or whatever, but it really was a solid game all around. If it wasn't for the outrageous praise it received upon release (and the fact that it's an exclusive) then I do think /v/ would've like it. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying that it's become a bit of a cult classic on here now that most people have moved on.

That's a fine answer to why you like it and I found it myself just to be ok to pretty good because I went into it when every journalist was squeezing loads over it and I came out of it wondering when it was going to pull it's game industry changing part.

I know this place is hyperbole but I feel it's because all the shit surrounding the game like it's going to revolutionize everything when it doesn't but it's a solid game.

Gonna try to tap into the hivemind for a moment and guess that Reddit likes TLOU, or at least /v/ thinks Reddit likes it, so it is therefor bad.

Name a gameplay element it pulled off that was above and beyond the quality of the time.
Now envision the sheer amount of cocksucking it still receives to this day for how it used elements that are terribly suited for video games.
Now remember that a large point of decline in video games has been devs being discouraged from putting effort into parts of games that actually need it, and instead focusing on "cinematic" experiences.
That's why.

>>386074429

People who always bash TLoU for lack of gameplay elements due to it being too "cinematic" never played the amazing multiplayer.

Factions brings the crafting system and foraging for materials element from the single player campaign to the multiplayer. Instead of the fast paced action its much slower due to ammo/resource management since shit is scarce when you're in a post-apocalyptic world. It made for a unique TPS experience which wasn't seen at the time of release.

But /v/ wouldn't play multiplayer because /v/ doesn't want you to know that they are actually bad at games. Oh the irony

This. Its not that they're bad games, but TLoU being memed to "the citizen kane of vidya" is insulting to the medium. The things it was praised for have little to do with what makes a good videogame, and the story wasnt even good compared to what you see in movies or books.

Plus it was pure poison for what general consensus on what a good videogame is. God of war is now narrative driven days gone is apparently the kind of uninspired project sony spends big bucks in. Its a fucking mess.
