So far, I'd give it an 8.5. Why? Because the AI isn't exactly the greatest when it should be a lot better. I can count about 5 times where Tess or Ellie ran out and stood in front of enemies about 2 feet away. And I've barely gotten anywhere so far, I still have Tess with me, even.

Also, enemy AI is a little wonky and knows exactly where you are sometimes despite not even seeing or hearing you.

Finally played it. Definitely not he second coming as cows chant, but it's a quality game. King_Dodongo
Just wait til you finish it. I rented it with zero hype or care for the 8.0 score and having only watched the one gameplay video since it was announced. So virtually went in completely blind. In the first 4 or 5 hours I felt the 8 was fair and accurate. Then about halfway I was seeing where the 9.5's were coming from. And then 3/4 of the way all the way to the end I got where the 10's and "masterpieces" were coming from.

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.cainetao11
If you really are going to nitpick a game design choice like that because it creates an inconsistency with the story then you should probably just quit playing games.

For me this isn't really an issue. You are not meant to like or love all characters. Sometimes characters like this are needed in a game and imo this fit in well with this game.

The issues I have with the game that are bigger issues imo are the ai issues and how the game drags on at a few spots.

Still an amazing game and up there with Metro Last Light for my GOTY so far.

You gotta admit tho, man. How the f*ck can the thread starter think that the reviewer is a psychopath for such a pathetically, and painfully normal reason (not liking a game as much as another dude, for whatever subjective, personal reason)? So he didn't like Joel. Ooookei. I absolutely hate the horrible acting in Twillight, but my lil' female cousin would think i'm crazy as hell. I don't care. It's my thing.

Here i'm trying to wake my ass up with a couple of coffees, and the stupid ass thread starter makes me go down and drown my self in a few other beers to forget what i read.

I understand the psychopath comment was a bit far out there, but Toms reasoning for hating the main character is just rediculous. It's like we didn't play the same game at all.

A score of 9 seems most reasonable to me. As I said somewhere else.. "I loved TLOU's story, atmosphere, and setting, but the game as a whole was just good. I thought the game had some flaws, some silly design choices, and silly AI that sometimes broke the immersion. But overall I liked the game."

After reading your post, I hope it builds up the same way the game in your avy did (at least for me). I was really curious after seeing all the hype for this, but only watched the first teaser back then. Loving the atmosphere. One question: how many hours does it take to finish the story?

I tend to ignore redneck drunken politics,usual suburb/city drunken politics can be interesting, white girl wasted drunken politics usually ends with clothes removed and them running around in their birth day outfits, me getting drunk while talking about politics usually ends up me doing my spartacus impression with my replica Boromir sword and nothing but boxer briefs on.

@TC, he just asks a question about Joel's motivations. The others even say "that's a good question," because it is. I could think his motivation is different from what you thought. Not liking the character is all a matter of opinion, I didn't like Ellie all that much, I connected to Joel way more. Badosh

Nobody has to like the characters, but if you are getting so damn hung up on them, it would be better if you actually could understand them. Joel IS a complex character, but it seriously isn't that hard to figure out his motivations throughout the game. Tom never once really showed that he understood Joel or what he was fighting for at any point during the game (especially the end) going by that spoilercast.

Your complaints are without merit. If he had given the game a 6 or 7, then I'd understand... but so much butt-hurt over a great score like 8? It's no wonder that people don't take gamers seriously...

People sure like to hide behind metacritic, but if it really was the reviewing standard you cared about, this shit would have been dropped a long, long time ago. 

Can't bitch about Tom's review incessantly and then say only metacritic matters.

Damm, this flop still got some people butthurt!  Ya I'm going to vote this as flop of the year, possibly a runner-up for flop of the generation too, considering how much butthurt it has generated.

People sure like to hide behind metacritic, but if it really was the reviewing standard you cared about, this shit would have been dropped a long, long time ago. 

Can't bitch about Tom's review incessantly and then say only metacritic matters.

After finishing the game, I think Tom is nuts. Joel's goal was very clearly established and the ending was absolutely perfect.
