Cmv: the last of us is not a very good video game:
Pretty much as the title implies. Yes, I've played the game and beaten it,  and I really don't see why this game is being praised as much as it is. Everything about the game is average at best, maybe except for the story, which is 90% of what people talk about when they say that it's a great game.  A good portion of the game is either spent walking through a level, watching cutscenes, or engaging in combat or stealth,  both of which are done much better in other games.

Every time I ask why people love TLOU, I always get roughly the same answer; how it's an incredible story, and how it's so emotional.  And this is certainly true, but what makes it better than other games? How does a good story make up for bland everything else?
