      survival horrors usually aren't "fun," you play them for the intensity. the gameplay for both games is quite intense, the second one is way more intense than the first as long as you play it on a harder difficulty

          This is neither a survival horror nor a game, and the only challenge in those is paying attention to writing that makes streaming services' average look like high art.

        If you aren't playing TLOU on Grounded you're playing it wrong. People complain about le nudolarrative disneyious or whatever because it's a game that criticizes violence while being a violent TPS power fantasy, but trust me, on Grounded, every fight feels like a desperate struggle to survive and you're ONLY killing people because it will keep you alive for a little bit longer

          yea you really need to play these games on at least survivor. if anyone played the game on anything less than this then they played some mediocre third person shooter because you can just shoot your way out of everything because you have too many resources

          cashed in on narrative over gameplay, which is why you should not give them money. following uncharted blowing up, making the game became a slog to get through instead of the entire point of the project. video games are unique because you have to play them rather than watch a screen.

          then we get tlou, which is a boring cover-based 3rd person shooter being buoyed by a well made revisions of Children of Men with zombies. it's not groundbreaking, but the videogame commentary & journalism scenes are desperate to be taken seriously as "art", so they overhype fricking everything that you shouldn't for a game.

      the word you are all looking for is "compelling"
      Games don't need to be fun, they need to be compelling.
      "Compelling" casts a much wider net than "fun": it encompasses both This War of Mine and Cookie Clicker. clearly the former type is preferred, which is why you can have people pay money to watch movies like 127 Hours and All Quiet on the Western Front, neither of which could be considered "fun".

        Games are pastimes. If a game isn't fun, then it cannot be "compelling" or any other superlative. A game that isn't fun serves no purpose whatsoever. The best you could claim for an unfun game is that it's actually a simulator for job training or something, but this ain't it.

                You seem to be using a very autistic definition of "fun". If you're being entrained then you're having fun in the sense that most normal people would use the word. And if you aren't having fun, then you aren't being entertained.

    Yes, the actual game is fun enough, the story is not for some, but the parts you play are decent. TLOU2 is even better. It's a solid action game, and probably one of the best 3rd person action games ever made. I loved Manhunt and TLOU2 is in my opinion the pinnacle of the kind of game. The story in 2 is not for everyone either, but the gameplay is solid.

        All of those are perfectly fine reasons to not want to invest yourself in a game's world and story. 50% of a game's appeal being killed so it becomes a estrogen soap opera of "revenge you shouldn't want" (which YOU DON'T because you don't WANT to be shooting at Ellie for instance) is really boring

        the fact that the gameplay is reasonably fun precisely because it feels good killing random NPCs (while your gun fx sounds might as well be the target's names since everytime you shoot some homosexual goes "NO! STEVE!") is a testament of how dogshit and jammed in with a crowbar the shitty story is.

      I don't like Part II because it retroactively makes Joel's decision at the end of the original Objectively Wrong, completely recontextualizing the end of the first game in a worse light and because the game doesn't know what it's doing narratively with it's vengeance through-line. Having Ellie second-guess herself in the clutch of exacting her revenge and letting Abbie go is fine, but you can't then have her still lose everything as if she *had* gotten revenge. That's atrocious storytelling and for a game that proudly trumpets its storytelling it's a baffling decision.

    The original game was ok. While the plot was predictable and decent at best the character interactions worked fine (to the end of building up the relationship between Joel and Elli) and level design, art design and creature design were above average. The clickers are a fairly iconic and memorable variety of zombie and there are a number of very distinctive locations that provide some well crafted scenarios. Gameplay also conveys the idea of surviving with scraps fairly well. Never played 2 because as far as i`m concerned this should have been a self contained story and it`s already done.

    As for the show, for what i`ve seen, it is inferior to the game. It`s certainly more unfocused as it wastes time on side stories that add nothing to the main plot, there are less infected so the survival aspects of it are washed out, the events are more generic as the places visited have less personality, Joel is far more bland (he`s shown as less violent and more approachable/ reasonable). IDK, the whole thing feels more like a slightly less shitty version of TWD so i lost interest by episode 6 or so.
