Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - Countdown

[QUOTE=Shade8780]i've done this to death, but it was not groundbreaking by any means. mgs 3 made me way more emotional, had better characters, and mgs 2 blew my mind. tlou did neither. it was just a cool post-apocalyptic game to me, not the messiah of all gaming.[/QUOTE]

You know I love the MGS series. Shit, I would probably put MGS 2, 3, and 5 in my top 10 all time. But TLoU is better written than any of the MGS games. Just because Kojima does the metafiction shit doesn't mean they are better written games. Yes, the MGS series was an innovator too in terms of storytelling in video games, but it's not of the quality of TLoU. Characters, dialogue, and acting are more believable in the Last of Us. And there's no denying MGS has some REALLY stupid shit, like Otacon banging his step mom while his dad drowns himself (:lol), a girl sniper who doesn't wear clothes and doesn't speak (because Kojima is a perv), bullshit explanations for super natural events (nanomachines, parasites), and general plot holes and inconsistencies. Does any of this bother me? Not really. In fact, I actually enjoy the absurdity of it all, but TLoU is almost flawless in terms of writing, character development, etc. Everything that happens is perfectly believable.

I'm not saying it's perfect. Obviously no game is. I know there are rare instance of Ellie running in front of an enemy and some overly scripted gameplay sequences. But the game is intense as **** on higher difficulties when you're constantly low on supplies and ammo. You have to play it on hard difficulty or above with no listen mode to get the full experience. I'm never seen a game that switches so organically between stealth and open combat. The violence is really well done too...not violent in a cartoony way like most games. More like a No Country For Old Men vibe where you cringe because it's so realistically brutal. Every encounter in the game is memorable.

You guys need to chill out a little. We're just talking about video games here :lol

So, MGS nor Halo has won a single GOTY award since 2003, yet both TLOU & Uncharted 2 won quiet confidingly.

Rest In Peace fan boys.

[QUOTE=macmac]Hmmmm, well considering the SNES is arguably the best system of all time, I'd say there's at least some bias against older games. Chrono trigger? Link to the Past? If those aren't in a top 20 list, then that list is wrong.[/QUOTE]

SNES is NOT included on these websites, nor Genesis etc.
Internet wasn't big enough back in the day. These websites collect all the reviews from all the online publications. Obviously they wouldn't have games dating back to the early 90's late 80's.

Games are from gamecube, N64, PS, PS2 days etc.
My point is, there is absolutely no bias between a game made in 2001 and a game made in 2013, like these fan boys are claiming.

these are much more emotional and better written then "hey sully we did it again lol" or "did you kill those people in the lab?" "no." "k."

See, this is what I've been asking for the whole time.

Not your fvcking ****** GameRankings, West-Side.

Thanks Heavincent :cheers:

Awards are mainly bullshit

Impact matters the most

Just a glimpse of how emotional TLOU was as a game.

A glimpse? That was the most emotional part of the game.

[QUOTE=Shade8780]A glimpse? That was the most emotional part of the game.[/QUOTE]

There were countless of emotional scenes in TLOU.

Tess's death
The heart-to-heart Joel & Ellie have on the Ranch
Ellie's fight with David
Henry & Sam's deaths
Believing that Joel died
Playing Ellie in the Winter chapters
When Joel carried Ellie out of the hospital

Halo just did it right.

Arguing over metacritic scores are stupid. Peoplw have different tastes and different expectations in a game
None of the games being talked about are bad people just value different things why can't people accept other people they've never mets opinion? It doesn't have to change how you feel about a game.

THIS.

I know you don't like TLOU Outbreak so i don't worry about arguing my opinion with you over it, it won't change anything except waste both our time. Plus, you not liking a game i like doesn't change anything. I'll still like it haha...

So... How about that new Uncharted game coming out in March? Eh Eh?

PS. **** Halo

Uncharted 4 Antagonists

I actually like the last of us, I just don't think it's a perfect game but then there are very few if any perfect games. Just because i think something is overrated doesn't mean it can't still be good, in basketball terms I think Lebron is over rated by the mainstream media but at the same time I can happily acknowledge he has been the best player in the NBA at times. I'm actually really excited for the last of us 2 as I am guessing they will fix up the things that I felt were flawed or rushed and improve on the idea as most sequels do.

I'm playing through uncharted 2 remaster at the moment, pumped for uncharted 4 but disappointed because I really could have sworn it was meant to come out this year :( Oh well we have battlefront, fallout and tomb raider coming out soon so that'll keep me busy until christmas.
