Why do people try to say TLOU has shallow gameplay?

I know there's far more posters on the coli than the usual suspects who post so I'd hope for more serious discussion from the usual circle jerk or cess pool threads :troll:
FTFY

you know how things work around here...

I thought it was established that meach was a liar when he was linking other ppl's PSN account as his own. Why are you guys engaging him when its clear as day that he has never played tlou and is just trolling?

I don't see you praising Beyond Two Souls, Wolf among us, TWD, 999 9 doors 9 persons 9 hours, Zero escape: Virtues last reward and a bevy of other choice oriented story games though. You say this game has no choice in the story therefore it's not impactful to you yet you praise Ryse?? You said UC/TLOU are similar to Ryse therefore Ryse is not impactful huh?
I didn't like b2s as much as heavy rain, but I've praised heavy rain on this forum plenty of times. Same goes for TWD. I have not played any of the other games you mentioned. And no the gameplay of Ryse is not impactful. It's just there to get you through the story.


:what: You mean use either a long range, short range or mid range weapon right?? Unless you talking about horde mode, Gears SP is straightforward.
There's more than just traditional short/mid/long range weapons in gears.


As if the bat is the only weapon in the game. If you use a brick or bottle and it makes noise it attracts other enemies, that can cause unintended results such as enemies swarming you. You could've stealthed your way through with either a shiv, chokehold(humans) or bow and arrow.
It's not the only weapon, but as I said you can use it or anyone of the other weapons throughout the game. The game does not challenge you to switch up your strategy. You can switch it up if you want, but you don't have to.

It's impossible to beat this game using only melee weapons. Yes you have to switch your strategy up a lot.

Ex. The strategy you would use to get through a room full of clickers is not the same as you would a room full of runners. As clickers can't see it's often best to move slowly and try to avoid contact whereas with runners you can fight them more straight up cause they don't kill you with one hit.

I'm seriously questioning whether you've played this game cause you don't seem to know much about it

You can get the entire game using any one of the strategies available. There's nothing in the game that forces you to think and strategize about the best approach. You can run through killing everything, or sneaking around, and nothing changes.

Everything you saying is a lie. You do have to think and strategize as to what's the best option depending on what enemies you're facing and what supplies/weapons you have.

Just stop, you not making any sense

Not lying about anything. Y'all just have an inability to see criticism about the game. There are plenty of action games that do action/gunplay better. And that's ok. That doesn't mean TLOU isn't a good game.

I'm sure you used a bat in the room with david when the horde of infected burst through the house.
You used a bat in the beginning of the winter chapter right? As a matter of fact you used a bat or stick all throughout that chapter right? :heh:

That david fight in the burning kitchen, lemme guess you used a bat?
You used a bat when waiting for henry and ellie to come back after going through the opening on the top of the door right?
Oh yea and a bat in that gym fight right??
Lemme guess you swung your way through that chapter where that guy is sniping you from down the street through the window??

You see where I'm going?? You sammy sosa'd your way through the game huh?

On hard mode or survival difficulty, the way you play changes dramatically.
@MeachTheMonster
Did you play the game? I wonder how you got through these sections with just a "blunt" object.

He's just saying shyt and then when you correct him, he goes "Y'all just don't want to hear my points, ____ game is better sorry." :snoop:
Such a corny response.

What exactly is "worse" pertaining to the "action" and "gunplay" in TLOU compared to any other game?

Obviously you have to use a gun for the human sections. As I've explained be it mele or shooting, your strategy never changes. Your first fight is pretty much the same as your last fight

Don't know why that's so hard for y'all to admit

If the criticism is valid that I have no problem with it, but what you're saying is just not true. And you can't find many if any that will agree with you

BAM!
I thought you can run through the game with just a bat?? Now you have to use a gun for the humans?? What is it meach??
You know what I'm done, I can't have a serious discussion with someone who's blatantly lying.
Mods y'all can lock this thread as thecoli isn't fit for serious discussion outside the pc thread.

Even the people who rated the game very high had some of the same criticisms. The thing people most liked about the game was the story/presentation. Not the gameplay.

Once the graphics/presentation become dated the gameplay mechanics are not something people will be talking about/playing for years to come like other true classic games. People will be playing super Mario brothers forever because the gameplay is just that much fun. TLOU will be forgotten about when the next naughty dog game comes out
