The Last of Us is not the best game ever created because no such game exists but I think The Last of Us get dumb critiques.
First of All, anyone who hates Last of Us are ignorant and they think that Jak and Daxter or Uncharted are the first games Naughty dog ever made. In fact they completely ignore the studio's history. They hate the PS1 era and think Crash Bandicoot is the only game they ever made.
1. "These games are too Emo,
Yeah they are sad. So what?
2: "The graphics are too realistic"
Ok and? Some games have hyper realistic and detailed graphics. Last of us has very nice detailed graphics. They look bad on PS3 now but hold up well.
3: "It's an interactive movie"
It's so charming like that. I'm glad it's so cinematic. But a literal interactive movie it's not.
4:"All you do is walk forward and listen to people talk"
So?!
5: "It has over the shoulder"
So does Resident Evil 4. Your point?
6: "It's only a third person shooter."
Don't you only play third person shooters?
7: "It's linear"
I kinda don't care. When did being linear ever equal being bad. Space Harrier is Linear and that game isn't bad.
I've never heard a valid critique against the last of us. They are just 4chan speak using buzzwords. They are all stupid criticisms.
You wanna hear a real criticism? Listen to me. The Last of Us is a nice interesting fun game. It gets better the more you play it. Yes you can watch it on YouTube and it be the same experience.
Last of Us 2 cannot be defended. Yes, it has better gameplay but the story of that game is so stupid and laughable at times.
Just say you don't like the game , little homie. Its ok to not like a game and not being able to describe how you feel about it. Some things just can't be described but there is always Yakuza to play.
