I watched through TLOU because fuck playing yet another cover shooter, and tbh the story wasnt all that remarkable

Naughty Dog is in this weird state where they take summer blockbuster concepts and pretend they're high art, and people who know nothing about what has been done in the medium praise them for it

When I say the gameplay wasn't great, it's not that it wasn't enjoyable, but I doubt that without a story compelling you onward you wouldn't play TLoU for very long.

Contrast that with something more like HZD and you see a huge disparity in the gameplay mechanics between the two.

I'll be honest I didn't okay the last map so I can't really attest to that. Having already watched the entire story by the time I got a PS4 I had zero desire to play TLoU since without the story, it's just another cover shooter.

Kind of like a plague tale. I loved playing it, but I wouldn't replay it for the gameplay elements.

I dont find basic cover shooting especially enjoyable. You have to do something extra to make it fun. Binary Domain and Vanquish are my go-to exceptions

Vanquish because of what it lets the player do, Binary Domain for what it does to the enemies

I suppose the popularity or lack there of of the online features shows that the mechanics themselves weren't that amazing, I think some of the specific maps and way fights were set up within the story made it interesting though

There were online mechanics?

I think cover shooters are what you make of them, they should encourage you not to play it safe since risky play tends to be more fun. I honestly don't remember TLoU well enough to remember how well it handled that

there was an online mode yes

Yes, there was multiplayer, I think I played it one time

Sounds like a shoehorned feature that no one asked for.

the crafting mid-match seemed like a neat mechanic

but otherwise yeah it didnt seem terribly worthwhile

Uncharted 3 had Co-Op missions and whatever you call a mode where you fight waves of enemies until you die that I played a lot with a friend of mine. That's really the only good multiplayer I remember from Naughty Dog, although my judgement of it is probably effected by playing it with a friend. I know 4 was supposed to add more multiplayer modes but what was there at the time I finished the story wasn't anything special (I liked story mode Uncharted 4 a lot though)

CTR and Crash Bash were fine

oh apparently they didnt even make crash bash

but they did make CTR

Uncharted 4 survival mode was lit lol

Doing all missions on veteran, wew

"unfortunately"

Wow

I didn’t know you were a bigot, Sonic

True I'm probaby too edgy for Sonic, I should have a knuckles pfp

That doesn't even look ironic

It has to at least be a third party skin somewhere

I mean they actually made a Gay Pride home screen so it's not much of a stretch
