@ilikechicken89: "is technically incorrect to use "Right" or "Wrong" when making subjective, personal points in a discussion about art or entertainment."
I agree... So next time, when you decide to make a statement, my advice is, use "in my opinion"... and not "The story was awful and it didn't justify revisiting the same characters." Because that gives the impression you are not exposing just a personal opinion... it gives the impression you are assuming that as a fact. Which is wrong...
"Well if you want to get pedantic..."
If I were to fully express my opinion about your comment, my reply would not be so nice at it was... Because making such as statement its just basic thought..
@davidb50100: Actually, the way they finish part 2 would make an awesome ending to the story. Same could be applied to the end of the first game. The open ending is always a good way to finish a story that complex (based on emotions and connections)...
"Gameplay should be perfect for the gameplay not the story/narrative!"
Call of Duty gameplay would not fit in this type of game, so no, not every gameplay works. The gameplay has a very defined objective, to create more immersion in the narrative. That's why the control of weapons is not as precise ad in other games (just to point an example)...
"GAMEPLAY is king! You can have the best story, visuals, voice acting, animations etc but if the gameplay is mediocre it’s a mediocre game."
Unless you are playing a child game or a sport game you can use the inverse logic...LOL
Gameplay is not mediocre, it's good (not perfect), and it fits the games perfectly. Obviously the gameplay of the second game is quite better.
"playstation needed a win at the time and the gaming media choose ND’s, UC and TLOU to give them that win."
No my friend, the fans/gamers gave them the win. That's why TLOU and TLOU2 are on my top ten games, because both are superb games.
"Gears is STILL the benchmark 3PS especially on the MP, PVP its gameplay blows ND’s games out of the water."
Fine by me, you can play them all you want. I still prefer TLOU and TLOU2 ten times more... LOL Personal taste is as far as you can go... But I have to admit... beside single mode I don't give a crap...
"There’s nothing quite like a 1v1 gnasher dual in gaming."
For you I have no doubt, but you should not talk for everyone else...
@angrycreep: To me MGS is the one a had more fun but MGS3 is the one I consider the best. From a structural point of view but most of all from a narrative point of view... and the Boss is the Boss...
MGS2 is also very good and MGS4 is good but the worst of them all at my eyes.
