Thats fine, but it contradicts him being a “problem” at naughty dog. I don’t see how someone that makes this game is a problem
This isn’t David Cage.
People started saying this same thing about Kojima also. It’s like once a game director starts getting praise and flowers people start to call them overrated and pompous
the last of us and its sequel are overrated in the story department. the endless praise heaped upon the studio and its director has gone over the top, making them feel like they can do no wrong
there isnt necessarily anything "wrong" with the story is just isnt particularly "groundbreaking"
please explain to me what is so special about the following:
antihero begrudgingly agrees to do job at behest of companion
trials and tribulations cause companion to die
antihero begins to soften up/show compassion
parental figure sacrifices to protect surrogate child
we arguing semantics at this point, to you the story they told and how they told it is the pinnacle. to me its up there but not quite the peak
you could argue something similar about red dead
antihero begrudgingly agrees to do job at behest of government
faces the demons of his past
chickens come home to roost and antihero dies
child takes in values taught by antihero and avenges
again nothing new, but for my money was a better story.
