TLOU is a good example of how a solid story can carry uninspired and repetitive gameplay into "GOAT/GOTY"
So most games?
most games arent put on the pedestal that TLOU is
it wasn't put on a pedestal for its gameplay
kinda weird for a game, dontcha think?
not really
games are allowed to have things other than its gameplay be praised
ill just drop this off here

Nice 2008 video. Yahtzee sounds so young and un-jaded.

Personally I agree. Story and characters ruin games. If I wanted that shit I'd read a book or watch movie. hahahaha. Get it? Cause books and movies are the only things that are allowed to have a plot and personality. We need more games like Destiny. Solid gameplay and nothing else. They are called games after all....not video games.

Clearly the title suggests they must all be the same. I mean variety is obviously bad for the industry. Everyone knows that. Everything should appeal to my tastes otherwise its not a game and you're not a gamer.

...
Think I've made the point.  ;)
casual scum should be executed via firing squad
That accent is really annoying tho.
thats the point, he's poking fun at yahtzee
I know. Still old vid. Yahtzee doesn't even say that stuff nowadays...if he ever did.
Just dumb that people actually believe a lot of that.
the hyperbole takes away from the argument a bit but i think he's fundamentally right. these days no one cares about challenging themselves or being better or actual nuanced gameplay. our priorities are backwards.
heyo blanket statement
the drooling masses of idiots who buy CoD year after year back me up on this one
it's still a blanket statement even with those retards.
and video games are about enjoyment, be it through a challenge or through something simple and mindless.

video games =/= only something challenging
"muh fun!"

oh please. a pig has fun rolling in shit but that doesnt mean thats excusable.

epiq response
awful comparison

video games are first and foremost about enjoyment. there isn't one defining way to enjoy video games.
you like a challenge? good for you. other people don't, good for them.

enjoyment is entirely subjective.

that's all well and good except the drooling masses dont give a fuck about gameplay so I suffer because the developers dont make games for actual gamers anymore. everyone else has their fun with their shitty assassins creed and CoD and TLOU and im stuck here playing paper mario: the thousand year door for the 15000000 time. that's not fun for me. why cant there be a happy medium?

TLOU is insanely repetitive and uninspired. increasing the difficulty even to grounded doesnt magically make the AI clever or the gameplay nuanced, it just increases the strain on your logistic strategy, and that isnt intuitive or challenging, it's just an artificial barrier to success.
So forcing you to strategize (which for some reason spell check thinks is not a word) your approach and conserve supplies is not intuitive or challenging? And is instead just an artificial barrier to success? I guess I don't know what those words mean then. Here I was thinking that it would be representative of a survival situation where you aren't some invincible bullet magician.

The game is no more repetitive than you'd expect it to be. It has enough varied weapons, enemies, and environments to keep me happy. Multiplayer wasn't tacked on garbarge. Was rather unique and managed to carry over the stressful desperation from the campaign.

Uninspired I just disagree with. The plot may be nothing ground breaking, but the way its told and the acting are far better than a lot of the other zombie schlock out there.

the strain on your supplies might help with the roleplaying factor of being in a zombie apocalypse sure, but it doesnt do anything except slow you down in the long run. ideally, increasing difficulty makes the enemies play different and strategize against you, creating a much more dynamic experience than "shit im out of ammo and i just have a fucking molotov might as well cheese this out"

game you don't like =/= shitty game
and to say they aren't "actual gamers" is... well, it's just flat out retarded and illogical.
just because they aren't "muh hardcore gamer" doesn't mean shit. someone who likes a challenge is no more of a gamer than someone who plays assassin's creed or gta or something like that.

thats fair enough, im just extremely jaded after watching this shit happen year after year. i just want to coexist with the casuals. i dont want to watch them saturate my market with things that i could never possibly enjoy.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
That's where you get memes like this from.

That's not a meme though.

But yeah, TLOU's combat is actually really good. The CQC anyway. The gunplay is nothing special.
