Not my PS4, roommate's. Trust me, I ain't that foolish.
I just saw you said YOU got it. My bad. Thought you said we should get it. It's a great game regardless, the industry just sucks ATM. Too soon for both X1 and PS4.

I'm not gonna overreact and say that TLOU didn't deserve GOTY (well maybe), but the accolades and pretentious bull**** surrounding its writing is a bunch of crap. This is the game that we decide is the current epitome of video game media writing? A B-list movie script with concepts and ideas already driven into the ground? TLOU's character moments are great, don't get me wrong here, but hearing it being called the Citizen Kane of video games is insanity. Especially when the "game" part of that is average at best.

That's not even talking about how the possibility for TLOU to even be written as a movie says a lot about the game's failings as a narrative built on the unique foundations of interactive design.

r u cheatin' on me >:(

@above, video game reviewers are ridiculously unintelligent, and blast around "the citizen kane of video games", without actually knowing why the hell citizen kane was huge. All they know is, "its an old ass movie + everybody liked it" "THIS GAME IS CITIZEN KANE GUYS"

Remember how hyped everyone was for watchdogs, then it came out and it sucked and everyone forgot about it a week later? The same thing would have happened to TLOU, but "muh progressiveness!!!"

aye. it doesn't help that the gameplay is always at odds with the story; one of what would be the most tense moments in that game, that showed your powerlessness, came right around the same time you're given a flamethrower complete with a shot of the protag smirking

the game doesn't know if it wants to be something taken seriously, or a AAA game

I was just watching Fox news with my grandma

And the anchor blamed awareness of topics and spreading of mis-information on the media, and made no attempt to qualify the claim at all.
Either Fox news doesn't think it's a News Network or they admit they are part of the problem

The fact that gamers are pretentious as hell, wanting desperately to elevate their hobby into art, does not mean The Last of Us is guilty of it as well.

It's a good game with a good cinematic presentation. Story and gameplay are almost always at odds in some way in videogames, this isn't a new problem, what Jim Sterling has called ludonarrative dissonance. One random example is striking people dead in Fire Emblem: Awakening and the next scene your talking with the defeated like nothing happened, absolutely no injuries!

Games by Naughty Dog should be a mix of silly and serious, that's what makes them fun.

I'm not saying TLOU is bad or even mediocre, just that I find that it's absolutely not top tier material. The response to that game is more of a problem with the culture, namely the people who think having games become more cinematic is beneficial. Not that cinematic games are a bad thing, but it's not the end goal that gaming narrative should achieve.

"good cinematic presentation" is exactly why it should never, ever be compared to citizen kane

citizen kane changed the way critics and movie makers perceived movies as an artistic concept. the last of us just aped what movies do in cutscenes and gets confused when it doesn't translate into good gameplay

Of course not, it's The Walking Dead of videogames.

Or even better the 28 Days Later of videogames, with the whole protecting a lady and a little girl.

wait wait wait

Shulk is someones name? I thought it was just an abbreviation for She-Hulk

I'm a bit disapointed, I never really understood why people could think she-hulk would be allowed in smash but I was hype for it anyway. Now i realized they all just want another sword swinging, JRPG pretty boy.

She-hulk for smash 4, pls

Xenoblade deserves better than Shulk, and the Lucina reveal already proves that protagonists like Chrom don't automatically equal character spots, so a much better guy or girl can be included if they felt like it.

On the topic of Naughty Dog, I found the Uncharted series to be a solid series of games, but nothing really Game of the Year 10/10 rock-your-socks-off kind of deal. It was basically just a more polished Tomb Raider until Tomb Raider finally got it right with the reboot.

Also, regenerating health is just stupid, unless there's a really good explanation for why it's there (energy shield recharging or robot repairing itself). But this is just a regular dude. I shouldn't be eating bullets like I'm 50 Cent.

Lucina was a protagonist though. She had equal importance to about everyone in the story. At least, most games, including Xenoblade Chronicles, don't have "side characters" with as much importance and/or involvement to the story as Lucina did in FE: Awakening.

I really don't understand the hate for Shulk. Is he such a cancerous being that you just can't stand him existing in any other shape or form in a different game? I know he's pretty 2D as a character, but so are a lot of Nintendo character lol. Plus, he has a cool sword.

I agree with KayB on Shulk though.

Yeah, pretty much!

Nintendo protagonists may not have a lot of depth personality-wise, but they are full of character, energy and defined by the fun actions they perform in their games.

There is a reason most platform heroes are lame and unmemorable while Nintendo's cast of characters stand the test of time.

Anthony Higs has a bigger head than Ridley!?

Parent tested, KayB approved!

Gotta jam whilst I input these statements into Quickbooks or I'll die.

"The forced hop is now quite laggy, a 50 frame animation (that’s fast-fallable to land quicker depending on the character's falling speed) that goes into a 30 frame specialfall-landlag animation upon landing. This hop does allow some horizontal drift control, so the tetherer can attempt to go back to the ledge, but the aerial drift they are allowed is lower than normal."

shoutouts to every combo video with clips ending in punishing ZSS's tether after 3.5

Sounds like you have at most 80 frames to punish after a tether edge hog, though to really tell how good it is we'd need data on how much time you have to punish them as it is now.

The tether character tears are real.
Wait until the patch to make any decisions.
