The Last of Us - 8.0 HERE IS WHY!

[QUOTE="_BlueDuck_"]

The game is too dependant on story-telling if failing to fully understand the main character's motives and personality results in a significantly less enjoyable experience.

Not even that big on Final Fantasy, I just happen to enjoy Chocobos.

Game should be running for GOTY despite getting an 8.0 here.johny300

Well one complaint I have is the slow ass load times.
Perhaps I've just gotten used to my PC but comeon man I played through nearly half a dungeon of Oracle of Seasons while waiting for the game and savefile to load in the couple hours I played.

Starting the game is a slow load.... but after its running.... there is very few load screens afterwards... if any at all. The loading seemed to all be in the background, during cutscenes and such.

This flop is still making people mad? Damn. gg Tom. Badosh

I just beat the game and I think this is easily one of the best games I've play this whole gen, The reviewer is a Joke! I stop watching the spoiler cast in 5 minutes when he said he dislike Joe because he is shady for working till 11 PM and living a big house, First that house isn't big, it is your average suburban house. Infact pretty much every house you get to sneak or walk in in this game are just like the sizes of his house!  Also He must never heard of working "Over Time" in a busy job!

He did! That is why I stop watching it in 5 minutes! What a dumb A$$! Calling Joe's character shady and doing illegal activities to earn money at the beginning :roll:

Yeah, no... the game autosaves in the background for you... if/when you die... you lose maybe 2 -4 min of playtime at the most. But if you keep resetting to load an earlier save yeah... thats gonna be painful.

Its easily better than anything on the other Consoles.

Yeah... I didn't mention that... but I also thought "WTF" when he immediately jumped to that conclusion because someone worked late... I guess ol' Tom must have never had a hard days work in his entire life.

REmember kids... if you work late, you're a bad person, and are probably a criminal. Signed Tom McShea.

Yeah that one point where it dragged out was the worst, can't believe they put that in there

I still can't believe some people actually take MC seriously. Even after learning about the weighting system. it's fundamentally broken

So is relying on a personal opinion of someone who may not even understand key elements to the game, like characters' story, demeanor and motivation.

yeah but it's an opinion, taking it as fact is dumb. Just not as dumb as combining all opinions unevenly

[QUOTE="cainetao11"]Great game imo. Which an 8.0 clearly states. People here are too in love with numerical scores and the meta game. My issues are plot holes because of game design. Joel and Tess take the job in order to get weapons back. Yet I could've had 100's of weapons if they didn't some how disappear after I killed someone who was JUST SHOOTING at me. And why do I pick up more ammo from infected than military? 8.0-8.5 imo.moistsandwich

Any game requires you to suspend some form of logic, well, to enjoy it anyway.... same goes with movies and tv shows.

Given this game strives for realism, i get why you focused on it.

Since when did 8 out of 10 become a bad score?

The story and characters were amazing. For me it was the gameplay that brought it down, would've given it an 8.5 - 9.0 imo.

 

I also had a lot of issues with the AI.
