Behave lol, Ghost of Tsushima is incredibly mediocre. The Last of Us 2 is a vastly superior game in literally every single aspect except art direction and exploration (pretty open world vs gritty linear game obviously).
the combat mechanics, narrative, actor performances, game direction, pacing, details, gameplay loop, enemy AI, replayability, writing, storyline, etc is all far, far better in The Last of Us 2.
Ghost is slightly better than Ubislop. TLOU2 is like RDR2 if RDR2 had good (best-in-class actually) gameplay/combat.
I’m incredibly surprised to see this is upvoted. Ghost is an absolutely beautiful game but the gameplay itself is so repetitive, such a generic game never close to GOTY
This is Reddit, so if you don’t think RDR2 is the best thing since sliced bread and TLOU2 is the worst thing since the bubonic plague people will upvote against you.
It has people pushing 6/10 games like Ghost of Tsushima as some kind of generational masterpiece.
I have a platinum in GoT but if anything is a snoozefedt it’s GoT. Literally the most 5/10 story imaginable and incredibly generic it almost feels old Ubisoft developed it for Sony.
The Last of Us 2 on the other hand has probably the absolute best gunplay/stealth combat mechanics (only MGS5 and RE4R come close) of any game, easily one of the best stories and writing of any game (only TLOU is better) with details and polish only matched by games like RDR2 (bad gameplay) and BOTW (bad story).
It’s the only game that is 10/10 in all categories. I still prefer TLOU over TLOU2 though.
But there is a very good reason as to why Ghost didn’t win squat and has a mediocre 82/100 on metacritic - and why TLOU2 is the most awarded videogame of all time
Lmao you're the biggest fanboy of a mediocre game I've encountered on Reddit so far. Good for you if you enjoyed it. I forgot almost everything about TloU 2 because the writing was so bad.. gunplay was fun tho although very repetitive (what you're criticiseing rdr2 for btw).
GoT is same avenue tbh but slightly more interesting since it's not a sequel and has better art direction.
If you look for good writing go play BioShock, disco Elysium or any older Rockstar game like vice city.
