what was wrong with the gameplay? tense action, great loot/create system, variety of enemies with dynamic AI..controls worked fine..great multiplayer

I'm sorry, I just can't take this opinion serious after seeing they gave dead space 3 an 8.9

The general consensus among dead space fans, was that the 3rd game was a fail. How can you ignore the changes that took away the element that makes this series stand out? The horror, the fright, and the jump out of your chair moments. None of those existed in dead space 3, just a generic 3rd person shooter with aliens. The same thing that plague the recent resident evil games, hurt this game too.

This is just one of those morons...trying to
get hits by giving one of the best games of
This generation a 8.3 What a joke of a review
site.

PS.Anyone that gives TLOU anything below a 9
Dont know what a great game is if it bit him
On the a$$.

I'm sure NaughtyDog meant the gameplay to be what it is, so gamers' could feel that sense of vulnerability and tension.

Even with the control pad lay-out, you could actually feel it especially when all the enemies swarm at you from all sides.

Last of Us is simply a masterpiece in my opinion.

I just finished TLOU over the weekend & it was a great game with a great story,ND should always make original IP with great stories.

The last of us derserves a 10/10 from these guys they must be Xbox fans instead of playstation

I'm not going to complain about the score, because whatever, game reviews, however I had to stop reading halfway through. I got to the section of the review where he sucked at the game, then blamed it on "the game design being so flawed".

But hey, the writer said he just came from playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist, so it's not surprising he wouldn't quite be used to actual stealth.

I agree. It has beautiful graphics, good characters, and the story is told well. Problem is the story is extremely cliche, you can see it coming right at the start of the game, and the gameplay was boring. Its def a technical marvel but it also is a technical mess. My experience was marred by game breaking bugs and glitches. Good game but def not goty or best game of all time.

I will say I loved stealthing through the game and collecting materials. It did a few things well and I did play it through to the end which is saying something. It was good and enjoyable but it wasn't memorable. I put it down for months to play SMT4, Tales of Xillia, and other games I had been playing. Guess I have different tastes as games like Fire Emblem Awakening, Ni No Kuni, SMT4, and Beyond 2 Souls are IMO way better games and better goty candidates.

The story although cliché but is told with superb storytelling techniques. The writings, dialogues, voice acting are amazing. There are mind blowing moments that I will remember forever, one of them is the ending, which put in deep thoughts for a while. Very few games left me such impact when I finish the game. Me and my friends then discuss about Joel's decision and his reason for doing so, and debate whether he's right or wrong. Again very few games could let the players have such discussions. TLOU isn't a perfect game, but its very very well done, to me its strength is well overshadowing its weaknesses, I'd rate it a 9.5/10.

Oh, and the multiplayer, man, I'm still playing that everyday afterwork, its fantastic and well balanced and super addictive!

at this point
the only new lou media I'd try tbh
