I just don't get it. I don't see what there is to like about Last of Us. I have NO reason to be like a faggot hipster about it. It won game of the year, and the previous game of the year was TWD and it's one of my favourite games for example.
But I've made it to the underground tunnels, after making it to the capital building, and literally have not enjoyed a single aspect of the game thus far. The dynamics are basically that of The Warriors on PS2. Throw bottles and bricks to evade enemies. Besides that, it's just tedious without anything else happening. I don't understand it.
I get that the story is supposed to be amazing later, but it's not like I just started. I'm a few hours into the game, and here's the story so far:-
Zombie apocalypse (Sorry, infection....).
Baby sitting a kid who has the vaccine.
Girl I haven't been around long enough to care about dies after being bit.
......That's it.
I even know how it ends. With the story being about the connection between a man and his somewhat adopted daughter, during times of a somewhat zombie apocalypse, plus being the two game of the year winners, I think it's highly comparable to The Waking Dead by Telltale. No one really says much about the gameplay of Last of Us, it's more so focused on the storyline. The gameplay of Last of Us obviously wins, but even in reading how it ends, and from what I've played so far, Lee and Clementine's relationship followed by it's climax and aftermath absolutely obliterates the relationship gained between 'Guy who seemingly doesnt age much' and 'Girl from Juno'.
I don't know. @Agonize was telling me to play it and that it was incredible for ages. I had NO reason not to love it because it hits all the categories I usually like. It's a stealth game, and MGS might be my favourite game of all time. It's set in a zombie apocalypse, and TWD is one of my favourite games of all time. But I just don't enjoy anything. You basically have the shiv and molotov, and that's the only things that seemed to be effective.
