I'm I the only one that thinks "The last of us" is overrated?

[The_Albatross]

I think posting on the internet that something is overrated is overrated.

Oh look the resident ps hater...


No, you're the only one.

Last of us us was fantastic.

this. I understand that not everyone will have the same opinions but there's always going to be that "guy" who is a non-conformist just because. whether he knows it or not.

I hardly even play games, but I thought the game was amazing.

honestly, what game ISN'T repetitive? you can't name one.

Plenty of games that aren't repetitive to the point of being boring, plus when its a story driven game it shouldn't be repetitive there should be creativity. Also I don't know if non conformist is accurate, I'd say I'm just cynical.

[freeburn]

i really want to play it. never got to play god of war: ascension or this since my ps3 died

[obmas]

lol okay. fair enough.

i think you had your expectations waaay too high. I went into the game with somewhat of a hint of skepticism considering every game people loved, like RDR, i found to be boring as shietz. But I can honestly say that I enjoyed my TLOU experience on first playthrough.

by the way, a game isn't "overrated" when a majority of people love it and only a very few didn't. That just means your standards are way too high, hard to impress, or just have different tastes. there will always be haters cause you can't satisfy everyone.

im not agreeing with any of the last of us hate in this thread, but about the last part... every bioshock game single player never once bored me

cool story, but i never really liked bioshock. not saying it's a bad game or is overrated.

but that's my point basically, you can't satisfy everyone.

calling a game overrated when a vast majority of people liked it (despite some of its shortcomings) may be taking it a bit far.

little big planet 2, one of the best exclusives a console could have.

Maybe it just wasnt your type of game OP, I give it a 9/10.

[asnp]

multiplayer IS amazing

i love the story but it did get repetitive. its a solid 9/10 for me.

play the multiplayer! or stick with your bull**** call of doodie multiplayer

[NWDub]

Calling it a 10/10 would be a disgrace to the consumer. Is this really all a dev has to make and get called a masterpiece?

[RThoe]

From what I've seen, the people criticizing this game and saying it's overrated do the same to anything Playstation related. I couldn't care less what system is better or anything. I bought a PS3 because it was the better choice for ME. Knowing my system is better or worse does not alter my decision.

As far as TLOU, I saw the E3 gameplay demo last year and thought it looked sweet. Forgot all about the game until someone said it was out. I went and rented it on Redbox because I didn't want to drop 60 bucks on a game I knew nothing about nor knew if I'd like. It turned out to be the best game I have ever played (singleplayer). Only after I beat it I began looking it up (because it was such a good game) and saw all the 10/10 reviews and chit and it was definitely earned. Anyone who critiques this game in a negative way is either an Xbox fanboy or hyped it up too much that they found every excuse why it can't be so good.

Either way you're wrong.

[obmas]

here's your typical hater comment lol

It's a typical zombie story brah. Some random person has the cure in her blood, so new and exciting
PC graphics > ps3
Better gameplay? Last of us has chit gameplay just like uncharted did. It's bland and basic at best. Gameplay from like a decade ago
Infinite > Last of Us

Uncharted is garbage as well. I never understood why people like these watered down games so much

even if this game was an xbox exclusive I would think it is overrated. Srs.

[Jackedtech]

There is alot of hate for Gamespot.com , but as far as i am concerned since 2003 if they rate the game 9.0 and up i automatically play and mire . every.single.time.

Scored merely 8.0 on gamespot while being rated something close to perfect on every other place.

OP it is massivelly over-rated.

[Stramak]

The multiplayer looks really great
Better than 95% of what has been released in the last 3-4 years

[JDM-EJ1]

Never played it but I did watch a few gameplay videos on YouTube. Looks par at best, more like a 'realistic' Resident Evil. Also, I have a PS3/360, but am solely a PC gamer.

Pros:

Animation
Voice acting
Visuals
Engaging characters
Soundtrack/sfx
Dat finale

Cons:

Subpar combat
Bad AI
Repetitive environments
Quick time events up the yahoo


Biggest problem for me was that the mechanics don't mesh with the theme of the game. By the end you've killed hundreds of people just like uncharted, not to mention zombies. Lacks any real tension. Metro: last night does a lot better job

[WanaBswole]

I've been watching a Lets PLay from WhiteBoy7thst. He's annoying a fuk but the game looks pretty cool. Don't think it's a 10/10 though.

[Wu-Massacre]

I'm in the middle of playing it and I agree great story,gameplay is good too but the AI is dumb as phuck Ellie and the other bitch in the beginning would bump into the guards and they don't do anything. Imo game is nothing special itself the story is just excellent kind of like Bioshock great game but the story is what really made it not the gameplay. The voice acting is good too I like how they gave Ellie the Hit Girl mentality

[TheApathy]

Never got into it. No choices, no open-world, not thx Jeff.

[Gothwaite]

master race checking in

would never buy a ps3 crew checking in










considering buying a ps3 just to play that game, checking in

[lampelys]

Haven't played it, but I'm sure I'd agree if I did. After all the Bioshock Infinite hype I've learned to take it with a grain of salt.

Dat flock mentality...
wow so great, wow infinite. wow
story wow
so innovative
wow dimensions
wow

[homicidal_misc]

not overrated at all. Also, the later into the game, the better it gets. Actually, it gets downright amazing. Not overrated at all IMO. The AI is the only con as well as the slow start minus the first 15 minutes. otherwise, amazing.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Was about to argue. Saw OP, the PS hater. Useless to argue.

[Blackbrere]

After Infinite, I was so cynical. Got talked into buying it day one full price, which is something I haven't done for years now. While I genuinely believed the writing, atmosphere and characters (clinched as they were) were very well done. Sure Joel's a redneck and Ellie was a sorta unrealistic 14year old girl, they were still written well. However by half way I was ready to stop playing gameplay wise. Every NPC, infected or human, acted the exact same way. Patrol > sneak and snap > shoot when **** hit te fan. There was no real mechanical difference to how you appeoached infected or bandits. The friendly AI scripting was horrible and I'm surprised that made it past testing. In a game like this, that's all about atmosphere, I was baffled when admist a room full of infected, they'd just blurt out stuff in full voice. Or how they'd get up and run, when noise attracts infected not two feet away. Essentially sneaking was 89% of the game and this would take me out of the experience everytime. Finished it though, more rental than full price.

[detrimental]

OP take a spoon pic with your copy of the game
