Personally, I found no meaningful difference between the gameplay of Uncharted and Uncharted 2. I didn't like the gameplay of either one. I don't really find the gunplay all that satisfying. Plus, Naughty Dog likes to have really reckless AI on bullet sponge enemies. The end result is that killing bad guys is more frustrating then fun.
What's up with all the negativity around The Last of Us now?

Compared to how much I enjoyed those games, reviewer average has a margin of error of about 4 to 5 points. User is about 2-3. I'll stick with the user average.
If you're giving a game a 10, it better have some damn good AI.
Makes me wonder if the cinematic and story elements were getting 10s, rather than the game.

which is funny because most of the reviews don't actually read like its perfection. It's a perfectly serviceable action stealth shooter with good atmosphere and audio or something.
101/10!!!!!
People really should read the actual reviews!
And always go into a game expecting the worst, otherwise you'd be disappointed!
For now their is zero common similarity between last of us and uncharted.
Gunplay is much better and enemy are not bullet sponges
it has damn good ai

I'm trying to read this thread and see where the actual complaints are, but it's just people talking about the psychology of being disappointed by hyped things.
The complaints are graphics, ai and the save bug?
Save bug is major, but graphics/ai seem good in videos. I want to hear moar of the hate. I want to understand. I expected more complaints about the game being more depressing/heavy than fun, to be honest.

Make up your own mind. People have been trying to tell me FFXIII sucks for 3 years, but if you enjoy the game, you enjoy it. I honestly only trust probably 3 people's opinions on games in the whole world, and I talk to none of them on the internet.
That said, I kind of suspected that The Last of Us was overrated all along, and I said so in the last thread. I'm not saying it's bad, because I'm sure it's not. But almost all the reviews talked about things in this order: 1) Story, 2) Graphics, 3) Music, -------------> 4) Gameplay.
Jim Sterling gave The Last of Us a 10/10, and he gave Vanquish a 4/10.
I dunno, I haven't heard much negativity myself. Usually there's that overhype backlash, but it's pretty tame this time around, especially for GAF.
Haven't played the game myself yet, so I can't make any comments. Bioshock Infinite on the other hand definitely deserved some of the overyhype backlash.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Nope.
And i remember mentioning all this with you in the review thread where you dismissed many reviewers.
Surprisingly a few reviewers were in the OT as well discussing the gameplay.

Nothing else needs to be said. This post should be in the OP.
For the record, the Citizen Kane of gaming is Super Mario 64. No other game captures such a radical change in the industry for me.

I didn't read all the posts in this thread, but can someone actually link to these "complaints"? I finished the game yesterday, and i loved everything about it. Naughty Dog seriously delivered! I would rate this game just a lil bit better then Bioshock Infinite.
Anyways... I would like to see these complaints because i just don't believe it.

Multiplayer is sooo intense. It reminds me of socom. And it has everything addictive about upgrading for partially better weapons/ammo .

It's not a bad pick, not a bad pick at all. But you're on a forum where people think the Galaxies are better than 64.. *snort*.. lol..

That hardcore gamer audience. Never satisfied. 
A game still can be, and should be, rated 10/10 with a bug like that in place. The assumption pre-release is either:
1.) It'll be fixed prior to launch
2.) It'll be fixed soon after launch
I'd much rather video game reviewers review based on the quality of the game itself and not X bug that happened to (unfortunately) pop up around the time of its release.
I didn't realize there was "negativity" surrounding The Last of Us now, other than the auto save glitch.
It's bound to disappoint some people, but I'm loving it. I can't wait to play online. I'm just waiting in case someone decides to ruin the single player story for me.

To be fair I don't trust most customers either.
What post history has to do with not thinking that the game is 96% metacritic worthy? do we really have that many guys here that hate the PS3 so much to go in the OT and complain about a game they haven't played? I don't think so.
We'll see plenty of different opinions - others are positively biased others negatively and others will just say what their experience with the game was, just like every other highly praised AAA game.
yep its nothing new in fact I havnt seen much negativity other then the save points
It's Quake.
I seriously doubt that every critically acclaimed game has received huge backlash.

No way. The game is exceptional. Its his loss for playing against how it wants to be played.
I'm playing it on hard and I love every bit of it. Reminds me of the killboxes in Uncharted 1. And killzone 2.
Just a great map in front of you. for you puzzle through.

Represent(ative) of bad opinions
I dont get how people can say it has "clunky" gunplay. You probably just suck at games.
If it doesnt have COD controls its automatically clunky? Joel isn't some legendary sharp shooter. Swaying while aiming is realistic. Shit is dope.
Its a better game than Uncharted 2.

Because perfect 10s are much more reliable, and users with company IPs have never been caught abusing the user scores.
Yeah, I don't get it either. If people want auto-aim choose "easy" it puts an auto-aim option on for people use to having the game do the work for them.
But Arthur Gies didn't write a review...
Anyway, I'm not saying the game is definitely amazing or terrible, but this thread seems like the place where people who believe game reviewers overhype everything can find something for their confirmation bias, the same way the original review thread confirmed the beliefs of those excited for the game.

He didn't write the review genius.
...by video game journalism.
Thanks for the review... it was the first one I've read for the game. I was going to wait until Last of Us went to sub-$30 around Christmas time to pick it up anyways, but the review almost makes me think I'd be better off watching a Let's Play of it. Is there a demo of the game? Maybe that will help me make my decision.

Of course not, that's why you should, you know, read the review.
That also makes the user scores so unreliable.
. If MS's initial reveal showed me anything, it was that.blame space

if anything the backlash solidifies that The Last of Us, a zombie video game developed by Naughty Dog and discussed at length on video game discussion website NeoGAF.com, is without a doubt the crowning achievement of not only the 21st century, but ostensibly of all time.

The negativity is done by a vocal minority. Please, people who are talking about dumb A.I. knows not of what they speak. The A.I. is clearly miles ahead of other stealth games I've played ever. The allies not being detected by the enemies works out in the players favor. You know how much backlash there would be had Ellie be someone that can be seen? TONS. People would complain you can't stealth because "the little bitch keeps getting in the way!" Yea, the a.i. is good.
