I thoroughly loved it. But I think it's getting kinda overrated out there. I mean, everybody and their cousin giving it 10/10 and the gaming equivalent of Jesus... I mean it's really something but it's not THAT insanely perfect.
The friendly AI loves to run around stomping on everything that makes noise. Luckily enemies are only alerted if you make noise. So yes it does have mistakes, but they are not that big. Great story, great gameplay, great graphics.
Eh, the gameplay does its job well but it's nothing spectacular. The pacing and storytelling are very much the standard Uncharted-esque sections of walking and shooting at people behind cover, intercut by elaborate setpieces and cutscenes. I found the zombies lacked variety, to be honest, and the crafting system was pretty limited. And it was WAY too easy for a survival-oriented game. I had a ton of fun, but I had to set it to the hardest difficulty. Minor gripes, of course.
But I love the plot, and I think it's quite a bit deeper and not nearly as straightforward as people think it is. Joel and Ellie are very relatable and all, but they're not completely above the **** themselves.
i dont know much about the multiplayer, but i seen PewDiePie's playthrough of it, not to mention my friends playing it when we are all together.. i would love to play it myself but i cant see myself putting out 60 for ANY game anymore
Short answer: Its a stock first person shooter, in a genre that's been beat dead, that has followed closed behind in the spirit of Bioshock: Infinite whereas the trope of Girl in Distress (hero is father-figure).
The game was the typical stream lined larges amounts of { "tits and gore"} followed by small parts of movie {story}.
That's a very quick and angered post on an issue that, sadly, people accept. However, I do see a silver lining. People aren't stupid. And people want a good thoughtful game. This FPS stock wrapper has got to go if anyone wants any progress in the interactive media arts..,.....but in a country where COD is the top selling game, we need to take baby, baby steps. =\\
