Don't need to read when there's Iron Maiden songs that tell me stories every time I listen to them

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Still haven't played the first one
The Road with mushroom zombies.

It's also a movie starring Viggo Mortensen, but it's a little less graphic.

Oh boy, another generic mishmash of every zombie story told before.

Except it's not zombies you fuck. And TLOU was an amazing game

It kills me to agree with Azumarill. It represents everything wrong with the gaming industry.

Action/adventure games try to hard so be more of an interactive movie than a legitimate video game. They do this all while pushing a AAA budget but down-scaling graphics (and mark my works, if anybody in a jacket and blazer tells you on stage that's "in game" he's flat out lying) making the gameplay boring because the developers focus in on the SSSSTTTTOOOORRRRYYYY. Making political movements, all the talks of "Omg guys, is Ellie going to be our first Lesbian protag?!" which have fuck all to do with video games. And the simple fact that just like the movie industry, all of these things just mentioned and more are a set of points to be GOTY-bait while being a title that will be forgotten about in several years. It's the same reason watching the Days Gone gameplay trailer was the most cringe-inducing thing this year from gaming.

Witcher 3 was garbage for this reason, the Uncharted series is garbage for this reason, Assassins Creed is garbage for this reason, and TLoU is falling for the same sham. Let me ask you, will anyone really care about the first TLoU game three years from now?

A true GOTY should be a game that can be replayed for years and years and never lose its fun or let alone interest from the player, because the developers focused on making a GAME first and built a story and visuals around that.

What's garbage about it

You're bashing a game before it's even out... A game that's following up one of the best single player experiences ever made with a great story. I mean, what's wrong with a story? Games need a story of some sort to have some kind of legitimacy or they ultimately fall flat. The days of pong are long over, games have the ability for being fun WHILE having an immersive story. But here you are, sitting in the camp against that progression and calling for games to return to a time when they were unremarkable and cost a nickle to play.

No. I'm calling for a balance that revolves mostly around being fun to play first. The Order 1886 failed for a reason, AAA developers are focusing way too much on making action movies. It's like they're trying to compensate for not being in the movie industry.

And we can have that without sacrificing stories from games

What the fuck are you rambling on about

The Uncharted series was amazing because of the gameplay paired with a deep story

The way you're making it sound, any game that tries to have a good story automatically sucks
Which is not the case at all with any of the games you mentioned

What is a "good" game to you if you're going to write off any story as pretension

NaughtyDog has been consistently producing quality games even if not for the story

You're right
Thinking back on the trilogy it wasn't that deep philosophically or emotionally

I was thinking more of UC4 when I wrote that

I'm not writing off any story as overly pretentious, just generic action/adventure ones with nothing but cliches and drama. The Metal Gear series did story and gameplay fantastically before TPP, but that's because Konomi knew they were making a GAME first.

TLOU had great gameplay
The rarity of resources, the strength of enemies, and the emphasis on stealth built up tense gameplay

You're mistaking story for being completely separate from games
It seems that you think games are purely gameplay and story is an afterthought

Not true

Games are in a unique position to deliver great stories because you're interacting with it instead of just passively viewing it

This provides opportunity for that emotional impact we all love

You're going to blame them for fulfilling that potential?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I'd have higher hopes if it had new protagonists. Joel and whatsherface had their story told. It was great, and now it's over. Tell one about other people in different situations.

How about you actually explain why the gameplay wasn't good/fun? Because frankly, it was very well done and fit into the feeling of the story like a glove.

Oh, are we on this "TLOU is a movie" bullshit now. So very wrong guys. Several levels were fairly open. Have you seen Uncharted 4? That game has massive levels. The SP for the new Halos are more a movie than these games for example. They're games. I have a bit of choice in how to approach each situation. I'm not forced down hallways 99 percent of the game. And now The Witcher 3 is a movie? The fuck are you smoking? There's also no reason to think the graphics of TLOU 2 won't be close to that. They said the same for the teaser for the first. And well. They're about the same. ND always uses their engine to render trailers.

How hypocritical. He enjoys that corridor shooter named Halo 4 that's what? 6 hours at the most? But the 16 hour Uncharted 4 that's doesn't force you through heavily restricted areas is a movie? Hmm.

Button Pusher Simulator 2012 Halo 4 was a great game what are you talking about. It's miles ahead of Uncharted 4 in every category and feature.

that's so cute

tbh though most video game plots are basically babby's first adventure story. It's a difficult story-telling medium because most devs feel the need to empower and satisfy the player constantly.

TLOU is pretty good, but it also tries to get people to feel emotionally attached to a little girl who is literally invincible, and a PC who mows through a hundred guys/zombies in the course of an 8 hour game. It's kind of the same for Uncharted. Its story sucks but its characters are pretty fun and well-written, and the set pieces and action are, themselves, the story.

L0L man, the game's invested on well-animated characters that display emotions.  Those other 11 hours of stealth-action-survival gameplay through extremely vibrant and diverse scenes?  ROFL NO, it's a fucking movie now.

And you had to move a ladder 5 feet over twice in those 11 hours, so when it's not just a movie, it's Ladder Simulator 2013.
