[QUOTE="Raziel831991"]I see you havent played many games, the maps in the Last of Us arent in any bigger than those in your avarege linear game, sure it does have some areas that are more open but most linear games also have those from time to timeBoxingandGaming
You got it twisted Even the smaller levels in Last of Us are still bigger and more open than the average levels in your typical linear AAA games like Gears/Halo/Bioshock. WHEN the levels get bigger in Last of Us, they then become much bigger and much more open than even the BIGGEST linear levels in typical AAA linear games like Gears/Halo etc What you need to realise is that the Last of Us has more open environments with multiple routes for the sandbox combat, and has larger envirnoments for the scavenging that you need to do in order to find the items which are spread around. Every gameplay mechanic flows into one another like water too (the exploring and scavenging to find an item-crafting item in real time to supplement combat, kicking ass in combat in a many variety of ways etc) Even more, it all fits the narrative/story perfectly. Last of Us is the BEST DESIGNED game ive ever played. Naughty Gods indeed! The ONLY truly "LINEAR" thing about Last of Us is that you move from point A to point B...which that will bring us to the next pointThe only map in The Last of Us that I found fairly big is the one where Ellie supports you with a sniper rifle. All others are just as small as other linear games. Yes it might be bigger than gears of war but nowhere nearly as big as Halo 1, 2 and 3 (havent played the others) and this is coming from someone that hates Halo. Halo has fairly big maps, specially the ones where vehicles are involved, in fact if you knew what a sandbox game is, you would know that Halo despite being linear, it does have a few maps that somewhat resemble to those of a sandbox game. And for your information a sandbox game is a "free roaming" game that doesnt have "walls"that prevent exploration and The Last of Us has plenty of those. And I dont care whether the combat is brutal or not, whats important is that both the gunplay and melee combat are shallow as hell and extremly repetitive. Yes every game is about going from point A to B, however in games like Skyrim you can just stop doing the main quest and do sidequests or go exploring, in other words it gives the player freedom, something The Last of does not, since the whole game is a linear path and doesnt allow the player anything else other than following the path the game establishes for you. As for the story, I think everything was rather generic, from the setting to the characters. And by the way stop calling people xbots simply because they did not like the Last of Us. Like I said Im a Sony fan,but that does not mean I have to enjoy every single sony exclusive. Im currently playing Puppeteer, its a ps3 exclusive and Im loving, its beatiful, chariming and wildly imaginative.
Also I think Im tired of disscusing this with you, you can answer this post if you want, but do not expect me to answer you back.
