Dissenting Opinions

July 7, 2013


The Last of Us
A video game without the game. 
I'm completely zombied out.
I found nothing new, original or fun here.
I didn't want to spend any time in this bombed-out husk of a world.
But the game has earned UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM and a 95 Metacritic score. 

Not that everyone needs to reach consensus, but it feels strange to be such an outlier on something like this. 

There are moments of beauty and grandeur. 
But for most of the game, the scenery is piles of rubble and junk. 
And every conceivable shade of brown and grey.
The gameplay is largely an excuse to take you from cutscene to cutscene

They managed to make a game where you don't play and it's not fun.
Great job?
