Nobody bothered to say anything about Bioshock Infinite just being another FPS or TLOU being just another 3rd person shooter, because they did what they did well even if it wasn't original. I guess people just assume that because it's indie it automatically thinks it's innovative.


The Last of US wasn't just another 3rd person shooter...

and it wasn't indie...

But did anybody say anything? Just look at The Witness, a game that isn't even out yet and it's already accused of being a Myst rip off. But TLOUs really didn't do anything to innovate third person shooters, all it's innovations were cut scenes. That doesn't make it bad, but nobody is complaining about it's unoriginality.

It was survival horror 3rd person, with stealth elements. It had a compelling story, characters, etc.

From what I played of TLOU it was nothing like that at all. It was a regular 3rd person shooter with some minor stealth elements and appallingly bad controls.

I now have no excuse at all to not have a 3DS.

I really thought Capcom would pull a dick move and not localize it, but Level 5 and Nintendo came through.

Sorry, but I cant contain myself :D
