@TheEroica: Jesus save you from what? From some one that is literally stating what is considering to be the general consensus?

You just need to google "Best story in gaming" and TLOU is either #1 or at the very least top 3 in every single poll.

Number 1

Number 2

TLOU #1

TLOU 1st place

You clowns are overreacting to something that is 100% legitimate. Do you guys also go bananas when some says Bugatti makes fast cars or The Godfather movies are the best movies? Or if someone says Jeff Bezos is rich? Because that's what you're doing here. Yikes.

@Litchie: Only your first and last points are hot takes. The ones in the middle are a fact.

@last_lap: My opinions are correct. TLOU is objectively the best told story in video game history.

But I digress, what does your horrible opinion think is the best?

I knew you wouldn't answer that question

@R4gn4r0k: Good that you had fun in Starfield. I tried it for 50+ hrs and didn't really get to a point where I enjoyed it.

I simply answered your question as to the logic behind slandering Starfield's 83 on metacritic, while Stellar Blade's 82 metacritic is getting praised. It's a very sound logic.

I believe Halo Infinite and Hifi Rush have the same metacritic score, yet one gets slaughtered and the other praised as an amazing game. Its cause of their respective hype levels-

If TLOU3 released and got 82 on metacritic I would be utterly devastated. Thankfully we know ND only makes masterpieces so 93-99 @ metacritic quality is guaranteed.

@saint-george: THe 95 on metacritc, most awards in gaming history, Co-op64's greatest game of all time, Empire's greatest game of all time, gaming industry's second best game of all time, GI's number 2 best game of all time, IMDB's highest rated game of all time, etc, etc. TLOU1 the conensus video game GOAT. (TLOU2 also top 10)

Starfield top 10,000 at best.

@last_lap: Just posting facts. only MGS4 is comparable to TLOU's greatness. And TLOU2 perhaps.

Out of curiousity, what would you consider the best story in gaming? I'd like to know what someone with garbage taste considers best

@R4gn4r0k:

The logic is pretty simple really.

One game is viewed more as a joke and hyped from 70-90 metacritic and possibly nothing more than a wankfest or best case scenario a good soulslike. It landed exactly in the middle lol.

The other was hyped to be 96/100 metacritic, GOTD, GOTG, GOAT and failed absolutely miserably at that.

@saint-george: Xbots hyped Starfield as a TLOU-killing, GOTY winning masterpiece that would beat Baldur's Gate 3 and Zelda:TOTK and end up being the GOTG ahead of games like Elden Ring.

That's why it was absolutely hilarious when reality hit and Starfield got a 7/10 on GS, 7/10 on IGN and a Metacritic score of 83/100, making it the 74th highest rated game of 2023, when it Xbots thought it would be #1.

People like me accurately predicted this and knew it would get 7s and end up in the low 80s on meta.

Stellar Blade on the other hand is a completely innocent AA game that no one even expected to be good until about 2 or 3 months ago, until we actually good the demo and found out the gameplay is really good. No one even expected this to be nominated for GOTY let alone win it.

No way people here are actually defending Kotaku lol.
