Thats a really crappy attitude dude. Just because something isnt your cup of tea doesnt mean you need to be bitter about it or disparage others for enjoying it.

You're calling an entire fanbase the "lowest common denominator", though

Do you know all of them well enough to shit on them like that? For the high crime of... what, exactly? Dumping toxic waste onto elementary school playgrounds? Raping kittens? Oh, no... They just like a video game. Let's ready the nooses!

Mead is right. That's a crappy attitude.

The only ND game I liked was the first Last of Us. I liked the world/characters. I think it came along at the right time, as I didn't really play much of their prior stuff (I could never get into Uncharted). But after that, I was good on ND's formula for the rest of my life. It was like GTA3 totally ending any need or desire to play R* stuff ever again.

because the gameplay is fun and the story is better than 99% of movies

tbh, part ii is my favorite game Ive ever played and I liked the story more than any movie Ive ever seen. never experienced anything with such organic characters. it also handles grief better than any other piece of media Ive seen/played.

idk, part ii really stuck with me. Ive thought about that game every day since I finished it almost 6 months ago.

Collectively, the genre is "Shonen: The Video Game." It very much caters to teenage boys, with even the exceptionally deep ones pretty much just being "baby's first deconstruction of the human experience and/or divinity." That's not to say they never offer interesting stories (I quite enjoy many JRPG's myself), but to act like being a fan of JRPG's makes one intellectually superior to fans of any other story-oriented game is just laughable.

Uncharted 3: Zombies! Edition and Uncharted 4: ZOMBIES!!! Edtion part due: Wacky Swinging Golfing Adventires are just boring walking simulators created to make geam Gournolists feel better about themselves. John D. Carmack put it best "Story in a video game is like story in a porno. it's expected to be there, but it's not that important". It's like that Undertale crap. >___>

It's a crap game that uses the trope of using a young girl as a protagonist so the players will feel sorry for her and think the story is good when it clearly isn't.

I didn't like TLOU, either.

I don't mind cutscenes in games (MGS is one of my favourite series, and MGS4 has a single cutscene that's over an hour long). The trouble with TLOU was that the gameplay straight up sucked.

Except the player isnt supposed to feel sorry for her. Shes actually a really resilient and at times ruthless character.

It doesn't matter, unless the person is someone strong as Superman. When shitty things happen to a young person(particularly a female one) it sets off a protective emotion and makes the viewer/player want to protect them and want them to succeed. This is the same reason why Telltale Games was allowed to make a mediocre sequel, and a downright shitty 3rd game and get away with it.

No I read it, Id again tell you that the character youre talking about isnt someone youre supposed to feel sorry for, and I dont think most gamers do. Youre making crap up to justify how much you dont like a game. You can just not like some things, thats totally normal. No reason to be ridiculous and desperate about it like youve gotta convince others that something is bad.

Except Joel is a grownass man, not a young girl. The protective emotion doesn't come out for Joel. I never said Joel didn't go through shit, of course he does, but when you have to watch a young girl live in a post apocalyptic world full of assholes, it provokes the protective emotion in most people.

Like, this isn't a complex concept to grasp, I have no idea how you people grew up without learning about simple shit like this.
