It was not the game that it could be, that's for sure.
But it's not a bad game...
Sure, I agree. But they're all great games tbh.
Exactly, art and level design also plays a big part, something most games pale in compassion with Naughty Dog.
Have you read the article? See how he criticizes this games with a sentence. Do you think game that last for at least 10 hours can be simplified like that mate?
Darkest Dungeon, The Witness, Civilization VI, Firewatch, Overwatch are all great games on their own rights. This type of "Jornalism" is terrible, it's just a kid hating on good games.
Yup, he also has a very black and white approach to some aspects of a game.
Also, before this console generation, he didn't have a PS3 and was a person who defended Xbox to the teeth. Nobody who wants to be taken seriously with game reviews should pick sides. They should give the audience an unbiased opinion on games.
Yup, the dude has nice intentions and takes the time to explain the experience, putting more attention to what will you (the consumer) feel playing the game, than his opinion on said game.
They are. But man, his bits are really cringe worthy, and he is constantly stopping arguments to show a video of his stream with him screaming stupid stuff.
I didn't say that, it's great that they're doing for fans, no doubt. It's just that the game is not as amazing as everyone makes it.
Overrated game with old mechanics. People are just nostalgic that's it. This is coming from a big Naughty Dog fan. They started to make a difference mainly with the advances in motion capture and video game story telling in Uncharted 1. Although Jack and Dexter was pretty good. Crash too for the time, but it wasn't old very well mechanically.
I made 2 mistakes with Ubisoft, I bought Assassins Creed 3 and Watch Dogs 1 on release. Never making those mistakes again.
I have no idea why you're bringing race into it. The problem is the hipster vibe and the lack of personality in the characters. Aside of course, the uninspired generic gameplay and mission structure.
The only game that's going to top GTA V, is the next GTA game.
GTA V is miles ahead of competition on all aspects. A technical masterpiece that still kills anyone who comes close 3 years after release.
Edit:
Note: Not only 3 years ago, but also a gaming generation ago.
That's why the game bombed ROFL
The game has the vibe of a bad skate boarding game. Hackers don't look nothing like that, or they act like that (personality and characterization is all wrong). That's not people who devoted their life to social/computer engineering to acquire those skills, that's people who hang out at the stake park and behave like children.
They tried to appeal to the younger generation with that "cool" vibe, but truth is that no one that plays video games relates t...
GTA V sold +14 millions on his first 3 days...
Watch dogs doesn't even rival GTA V LMAO!!!
It's like a kid who's learning to drive a car and an adult who rally races.

1 new franchise in 30 years? get the fook out of here
Like you said art is relative, so is an opinion. This game may not be art for you, but it is for me and a lot of other fans.
