Why do people dislike TLoU's shooting?

It's some of the best I've ever seen in any game.....what's the problem?

The only people that hate on The Last of Us are the ones that have never played it

Cos it's cumbersome and unresponsive. It gets better later in the game but at the start it's pretty sloppy

I met someone on another forum who was talkign about how the whole game was subpar, with the gunplay being "clunky". It was interesting, given after some conversation they revealed they only played the first couple hours of the game.

"shrugs", never heard of this complaint before, the shooting actually feels satisfying especially the shotgun and arrows

It gets a lot better but yeah at first it's clunky cos of sway and shit like that

Ridiculous sway in the beginning. Once you upgrade, it gets better.

i have not played it yet but from what i have seen in vids it looks great.

innaccurate and not very effective.

just like it would be if you had multiple monsters running at you.

looks almost like a sim.

maybe that why it gets on some peoples nerves.

Seriously though, people have been bitching that the shooting sucks and I don't see it.  It's better than Max Payne 3.

He should be better though considering [spoiler] he owned a gun at the start and it's 20 years after the outbreak where he apparently used a gun a lot [/spoiler] so he's not an expert but he should be better at least

Ok it's fine but it's nowhere near as good as Max Payne 3's gunplay. MP3 has THE best thrid person shooting

lol, what people think they shoot like.

what they actually shoot like.

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="MirkoS77"]So it's only in the beginning.  I can admit that it's a bit slow but I prefer the shooting here to any dedicated shooter made so far.

It IS realistic alright but it's not that fun. There's a fine line, some games go too much for realism and forget it's a game where fun is a priority too

Never had a problem with the shooting. Feels just like Uncharteds

I've never heard anyone complaining about it, but it is rather clunky. Reminds me of Uncharted 3.

I haven't played it yet.  I was on my way to get it and a friend said just wait and I could borrow his... yet he hasn't finished the damn game and now hes playing the new Luigi expansion.. ugh.

But from what I've seen it looks nice.  I hope its better than the Uncharted games.  I don't think they had bad shooting, but it wasn't exactly good either.

TLoU's shooting is superior due to one fact: getting hit affects the ability to aim and shoot back.  The ONLY reason to avoid getting shot in Max Payne or and other shooter is to look down at the lower right corner of the screen to see how many first aids one has.  TLoU penalizes you for getting shot by making you unable to shoot back for a brief period.  Instead of the screen getting more red, Joel's ability to simply shoot is gone.

TLoU forces you to avoid being hit as much as it does hit.  That's why it's better.  What's the fun in a shooter when you can just spam the heal button when you are too incompetent to dodge incoming fire?  Firefights should be just as much about avoiding getting shot as shooting.

And I honestly never noticed the swaying ... so I don't know what to say.

i'm trying to see what it is like to be a late adopter.

i have either replayed old games that i already have or not paid more than $10 bucks for a game in over a year now.

i'm starting a trend, me and a buddy found rainbow six vegas 2 for $2.99  and we are co-op-ing through it tonight. :lol:

[QUOTE="coasterguy65"] hmmmm, lol NO ....[QUOTE="Riverwolf007"] :lol: i see you still didn't got it yet ....what are you waiting for ?!shadiezz2012

after i finish infamous i am going to erase it off the hdd so i have room to reinstall dc online.

that's how cheap i am going for the rest of this gen. :lol:

i will probably only break my new cheapness vow for gta 5.

[QUOTE="shadiezz2012"][QUOTE="coasterguy65"]because i'm too cheap these days.

This game is like HItman, Manhunt, Splinter Cell, etc Your gun is your last resort. I used the bow and arrow more times than a gun to keep the stealth going. I have played HItman Absolution and the original 3. Once I learned to play it the gun was the last thing to use. thewickedgamer

Agreed. I only used a gun when it forced me to. I always used the bow as well, loved it. But mostly melee combat, it just felt so good :P

i pissed away soooo much money this gen.

No complaints here, I love the shooting in TLoU much better than any other third person shooter solely because enemies aren't bullet sponges, you have rare ammo, guns actually feel like guns, and you appreciate each bullet since they're so rare and do so much damage.

And yes, I have played Max Payne 3 which also has great shooting for different reasons.

I did that for most of the game, but near the end you don't really have much of a choice, it gets hard.
