It's like they're thinking back to high school and remembering that one time they saw a serious movie.

I'm roughly 13 hours in and while the story is fairly good its not exactly treading new water. Maybe the 2nd half of the game crazier WTF moments happen, but the big event in the first few hours of the game I saw happening a mile away.

Also I'm just going to say it, the story may be a 10/10 when I get to the end of the journey but the gameplay is just Uncharted 4 and is doing nothing groundbreaking whatsoever.

I thought it was a reviewer that made the Schindler's List analogy, and not Druckmann

I gotta disagree with Jim on the notion that no Triple A video game has stories on par with movies or books.

FFIX, Silent Hill 2, Spec Ops the Line

Sure if you only look at Trash like Call of Duty of The Last of US or David Cage then you'll only find shit stories but that's like only looking at Transformers and Spiderman and then saying movies only have shit stories.

Hes right. Pretty much every movie game is laughably bad at being what it so desperately wants to be. The writing in these things is so goddamn fucking atrocious, David Cage in particular is just an absolutely comical hack.

Terms like "innovative" or "groundbreaking" are just buzzwords with no meaning.

Who said the game was groundbreaking on gameplay alone? Games like tlou2 are a complete package where everything comes together to make a great game, not just one thing.

When was the last time you played a game you thought was groundbreaking?

i really don't understand why anyone watches this guy's videos

Because his essays make compelling statements about the idiocy and hypocrisy of the gaming industry.

Are there seriously people comparing this game to Schindler's List? sure people may have given the game shitty reviews to bomb it, but saying crap like this makes it obvious the opposite is true as well.

1 guy said it

Everyone laughed at him

Druckmann flipped out about people mocking the game's writing over it

statements about the idiocy and hypocrisy of the gaming industry can be found literally everywhere these days, so there's no reason to sit through nearly a half hour of some guy dressed up like a buffoon with an insufferably overracted voice in order to get such statements.

Fair enough to each his own.
