Wrong board.

positive or negative? i thought it was okay, i enjoyed the gameplay and the hearing mechanic was neat.
Owen Cooper
No it didn't. It was overrated to hell and back because its release coincided with a weird obsession with journalists to find 'mature' themed games and call them "citizen kane". 2013 sucked.

Holy fuck no. It's everything wrong with gaming. "Oscar bait" crap that's made solely so asshole journos can pretend their media is meaningful artistically when it never had to be.

>the hearing mechanic
The game would get massive negative score from me just for that mechanic. Not because it doesn't work or isn't useful, but because it's incredibly lazy and completely contrary to the realism that the rest of the interactive movie is trying to portray. Something with this level of audiovisual production quality should be able to reach the standards of 1998 with its sound propagation dynamics so players could actually listen and hear where enemies are. There is no excuse to scrap the whole concept of sound propagation and replace it with x-ray vision, especially in a cinematic experience like this. It's the worst aspect of TLoU. Even worse than console exclusivity becaue even if it came to other platforms they would still suffer from the same problem.

It was ok, but people overate these types of games because they want video games to be taken seriously as an art by other mediums. Especially the vidya journos, as they'd rather be covering films, theater, or any other subject that is treated seriously by adults.
Reviewers didn't seem to care or acknowledge how by the game involved a lot of stealth, but the stealth mechanics were as basic as they come. Also the sophisticated AI they showed, and talked about, in videos prior to release was nowhere to be seen in the final product. Can't remember it being mentioned in reviews.
Solid 7-8. Best part wasn't even the story, it was the multiplayer.

I can barely remember anything about it aside from the box art and multiplayer. I did not hate it. It was like mosy things from the early 10's. Forgettable and movie copypaste
