Deathloop is a 10/10 haven't you played it yet?

Snoy paid 100k shills to raise the user score and still couldn't get past 6.0 kek.
Hilariously TLoU 1 only has like 10k ratings

I hated it too user, now it deserves every award it got. But I still wish 13 Sentinels would have won best story award. Not because it‘s better, but because it is kinda not a million seller. Sad nd tried something new and pushing the medium once again but got heavily burned. I still hope for more tlou games with new protags etc. the world is just fucking fantastic

No bro, Elden Ring and BotW totally deserve their 96/100. Don't you love empty open worlds with copy pasted content?

It did not deserve most of its awards, certainly not goty. This is a game so bad that it caused huge losses to Naughty Dog, they literally did not make back its budget

Factions will save it...

Yeah, it was a great game. Gonna trust them again.

Unfortunately they more than made up for it with the ESG funds

You'd think this board would have learned this by now, but no, 200 threads about ER daily, bare minimum.

Seethe tranny. Elden Ring is game of the decade and nobody cares about obese pctards too stupid to understand that bamco doesn't give a shit about optimizing primarily for them. All you had to do was to wait one month for the game to be fixed on their meme platform for virgins but I guess it's too much to ask to pc-l_ards.

t. severely mentally ill fromdrone

Ok tranny

Elden Ring couldn't even hit 60 FPS on modern consoles. Why do from fans hate themselves so much that they don't demand an optimized game?

it's still not fixed nigger

Elden Ring runs fantastically on my console considering that it is a first gen PS4. I'm dabbing on pc-lards with my 170 dollars console and I'm proud of it.
>NOOOOOOOOO I CAN'T ENJOY MY VIDEO GAME TOY IF IT'S NOT RUNNING IN 4K WITH RAY TRACING, I DIDN'T BUY A MEME GAYMING RIG FOR NOTHING I'LL MAKE A POST ON REDDIT ABOUT THIS AND RATE IT BADLY ON METACRITIC!!!!! FROMSOFT DOESN'T RESPECT US!!!!!
lol

It is. Now I can play with colossal weapon.
Oh you mean the PC port and the optimization on it? Don't care. I'm not a manchild playing video games on a computer.

the usual snoy lies. it can barely hit 50 fps on ps4 most of the time and the framerate is all over the place.

TLOU2 is great and when it comes to PC people will pretend they never hated it just like Death Stranding.

What the fuck are you talking about you stupid retard? It's 30 on PS4, what the fuck are you expecting a 2014 console to run Elden ring at 60? ( and I'd rather take a stable 30 over unstable 60 )

I don't trust them. Cyberpunk was the final straw- it's unacceptable that all major outlets agreed to the absurd embargo requirements (can't use their own footage, no console code, etc).
TLOU2's embargo was almost as bad. Reviewers were forbidden to even mention certain things to avoid spoilers, which seems understandable but the requirements were so broad that it made serious reviews of the game meaninglessly vague.

However, in terms of the overall sentiment and numeric scores, the reviewers got TLOU2 right. It really is one of the best games ever made, and if anything 93 seems a touch low to me (I think it was dragged down by Edge's 9/10). Unlike Cyberpunk, the TLOU2 embargo at least wasn't hiding any problems- it really was just an anti-spoiler thing, albeit a somewhat empty one thanks to the leaks.

the user score says the game is ok

I haven't played any of the sony movies ported to PC and I'm not about to start
>base ps4 can only do 30 fps
kek

*tendies
xbros defend themselves from snoys, nothing else

Gamergate showed that the gaming media colludes to sink or praise games absed on their social narratives. Gaming "journalism" has been bullshit ever since.

>base ps4 can only do 30 fps
>kek

What a shock wooow. Are you dumb? It's literally a 2013 console that you can buy used for 150 bucks. Again I'm super impressed to see Elden Ring maintaining a stable 30fps on it somehow, try standing in front of the capital in the morning and watch as the sunlight rises on this old as shit console. It's great.

Haven't trusted them since Half-Life 2.

But TLOU part II is one of the best games ever.

>playing on a base ps4 at 30fps in 2022
>"i-i'd n-never sink to playing on m-meme loser PC haha. I t-totally could though, I'm not p-poor or anything"

Fuck off snoy We're too busy playing games on Nintendo to give a shit what other people are doing.

I don't trust nor game critics neither gamer scores.
For examp: Crysis reviewed by all like it's a tech demo and a crappy game, but for me it's one of the best shooters.
While Bioshock or hl2 scored like best games of the decade, and I barely completed them.

Only time anyone cares or respects critics on here is when BotW comes up, otherwise even when shit like kotaku was relevent people would screencap the article or pastebin it. Long as I remember people hated that shit here.

>Poor sales, especially for a sequel to a major hit
>Mediocre user score on metacritic
>Rarely discussed in forums or modern gaming articles
Best game ever, huh?

have you considered that you just have shit taste

Did it sale poorly?

You can't say something has shit taste, it's just different.

Not him but anyone who puts Bioshock 1 or Half-Life 2 on a pedestal is the very definition of someone with shit taste.

You mean the user score was bombarded by faggots getting their panties all twisted over lesbians and abby. Yeah, truly great and insightful and honest review.

They won't reveal the number. Within a month of launch it was already half price so that kind of sends off warning bells.

>2022
>Still trusting public opinions with no critical judgement.
Form your own opinion bitch. Don't trust the mass or so called expert, build a board of experts that YOU trust and even then, don't be blind.

>try to explain how this game is unironic Zionist propaganda to people
>they immediately think I'm a crazy bigot
The writer literally says it's about his life in Israel ffs.

It's one of the best games I've played in the past few years, keep seething.

What was the issue with Abby? As for me she was a solid character.

>They won't reveal the number.
Wiki says that TLOU 2 is the most AND the fastest selling game on PS4. And sold 4 mln copies within one week.

TLOU2 looks better at 1080p30 than it does at 4K60.
1080p30, combined with aggressive AA and strong film grain, results in a very soft and filmic atmosphere.
4K60 feels a bit like the experimental high-frame-rate movies we saw a few years back- it's definitely sharper and clearer, but also looks more artificial and makes the flaws and limitations more obvious. Sometimes less is more.

I say that as someone who usually prefers as high a resolution and (especially) framerate as possible.

fastest selling is such a dumb concept.
If a sales chart has a thousand lines, all twisting around each other and on top at different times, then all thousand of those products are their fastest selling product.

explain it here bro, we won’t laugh at you at all i peomise

Something can be inspired by the author's life experiences without being propaganda.

It’s funny because there was controversy around the crunch and abuse of the developers but that narrative was intentionally quashed by the media. In other words they were paid not only to stay quiet but to try and put a lid on it. I often think this whole crunch shit is overblown but to actively try and cover it up is a scummy move.

All of the forced game awards, it’s artificial. They can give themselves as many awards as they want. Nobody fucking gives a shit about that game.

>We're too busy playing games on Nintendo to give a shit what other people are doing.
and yet, here you are. point proved

Yep, huge sales cope. Wii U was the fastest selling console at one time, it means fucking nothing.

Is that why there were a bunch of movies and/or TVs that kept giving me motion sickness by making it seem like someone was interpolating frames or something
I don't know what that was but I remember people spending thousands on TVs to show off movies that I literally couldn't watch, it looked so awful

>the journo faggot calls others trannies
Oh the ironing

Those motion interpolation settings should always be turned off, they're terrible anti-features.
The movies I was referring to were actually shot in a high frame rate rather than being interpolated to it, so they weren't as bad as that- but they still feel "wrong" in the sense of not feeling very movie-like.

As an example, here's a 60fps clip of Gemini Man. It looks very smooth but it also looks more like phone footage than a movie. youtube.com/watch?v=vX2vsvdq8nw

>how does it feel knowing that your hobby, once reserved for people who used to enjoy games, has devolved into the same mindless pandering normie shit that film and music became 20 years ago?
>how does it feel knowing that every game now is being made to cater to a community of drooling retards who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars on microtransactions and pre-orders while simultaneously defending the soulless pubs that churn out this shit to the death?
>how does it feel knowing that your hobby is dying thanks to paid shills who don't even like videogames telling the retarded masses what makes a good game and what doesn't, inevitably making comparisons to that one game that released in 2011 that was super hard XD
how does it feel, Yea Forums? wanna give up yet?

Critics in general, not just gaming. But gaming is pretty bad. The Elden Ring perfect scores too. I know a lot of you like that game obsessively but it’s not for me. I think you need autism to get into those games. Certainly not 10/10 material. They need to take a step back and review it on the basis of gamers as a whole not just an autistic niche no matter how large that niche may be. Yes the game sold very well but a lot of people bought it like me and can’t get into it

high fps makes scenes in film look less cinematic yeah but i could see 60fps working for something like horror where you have lot more frantic camera movement. like a clear 60fps shot of gore would be nauseous if the special effect is well done.

I have the money but I care about games and not muh graphics. I can get away with using only my toaster for pc games because current gen games are trash, Elden Ring is a minor exception.

Just a friendly reminder that basic TPS gameplay, basic stealth, basic crafting and press X to play an animated cutscene of the butch killing an enemy is not good gameplay and if you think otherwise you're either a snoy or a normie.

From the Washington Post
>Theformulation for Ellie’s turn toward darkness can be traced back to the year 2000. Then in his early 20s, Druckmann witnessed news footage of a crowd lynching two Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. “And then they cheered afterward,” Druckmann, who grew up in Israel, recalls. “It was the cheering that was really chilling to me. … In my mind, I thought, ‘Oh, man, if I could just push a button and kill all these people that committed this horrible act, I would make them feel the same pain that they inflicted on these people.’"
>The feeling faded, though. Eventually, he looked back and felt “gross and guilty” for his intense feelings. With “The Last of Us Part II,” he wanted to explore that emotional tumult on a didactic level.
>“I landed on this emotional idea of, can we, over the course of the game, make you feel this intense hate that is universal in the same way that unconditional love is universal?” Druckmann says. “This hate that people feel has the same kind of universality. You hate someone so much that you want them to suffer in the way they’ve made someone you love suffer.”

Basically Druckman was brought up as the beneficiary of an apartheid state and has almost zero grasp of basic moral concepts that normal people take for granted every day. Hence the remedial "cycle of violence" theme and the lack of introspection from the characters about their actions.
The game also has a section that teaches you what the Torah and the Holocaust are, explicitly. The ending is a ham-fisted analogy for Islamic extremism, blaming them for their own oppression at the hands of Druckmannn's home country.
"Universal hate" isn't even a /pol/-tier concept; it's the kind of shit only a rabid Zionist would ever come up with.

meant as a reply to

Want to know what I feel? I feel like wojak posting reddit tourists with absolute shit normie tastes like you should gtfo. Stop pretending to like games when all you do is buy worthless AAA titles.

No, the gameplay is really good just as long as you have the difficulty set high enough that you can't blast through everything with brute force.
It emphasises planning and situational awareness while in stealth, and quick thinking and improvisation when shit hits the fan.

Wow so it's another basic horror themed TPS made by americans. I didn't get enough of the same shitty formula by naughty dogs with all the uncharted shit.

>it was a good game
faggot

I only listen to Japan.
