Gamesradar names The Last of Us as the GAME OF THE DECADE
- Thread starter Grayson
- Start date
We already have a topic on this
While Last of Us is a brilliant game, I have a hard time trying to figure out how that game did something new that impacted other games that came after it. I think the Game of the Decade pick should be something that had a profound impact and raised the bar in the industry.
Do you live in 2018 or something lol? This decade end in two weeks.
Of course it is. Here we are, 6 and a half years later, and nothing else has come close.
TLOU is in a fucking league of its own.
My games of the decade:
1) The Last of Us
2) Dark Souls
3) Skyrim
4) Red Dead Redemption 2
5) The Witcher 3
6) Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
7) Bayonetta 2
8) Inside
9) Mass Effect 2
10) Super Mario Galaxy 2

They have every right to choose whatever game they want for "game of the decade".
But "counter-cultural"? Can I laugh out loud?
I agree with you, but...
Explained it to another user who also, for some reason, had the same complaint, but this is a common thing to do. People will usually create a thread based on a certain excerpt of an NDP sales release, this is basically the same thing.
100% agreed! The Last Of Us has impacted me in ways I thought was extremely improbable, in ways I thought I was to old, I've seen and experienced and felt to much to have this type of feeling again. I was clearly wrong.
And Better level design, art style, puzzles and music.
I prefer it's lore and story too but I understand how someone wouldn't
Can agree with the level design and the puzzles, but the music is a big no from me dawg. The story in God of War is also a worse version of TLOU's story with less good characters. Mimir is gold though.
I don't think any of these games have the total package of 10/10 single player and 10/10 multiplayer like TLoU. I know this forum likes to play alone for some reason but multiplayer is like the most popular and prominent way people experience games so the game of the decade can't be without it.
For some specifics, Halo Reach wasn't even that well-regarded when it came out and I haven't seen a swelling of positivist recently except that PC people can finally play it. It's a good Halo but a letdown after the trilogy.
Rockstar's narratives and characters are great but the gameplay just doesn't line up imo. You can't invest us in this world and then also have us kill hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians, police, and rival gang members. Just how big is the O'Driscoll gang? a million strong? They haven't evolved their mission design and it's hurting the stellar work they are putting into the story, characters, and setting.
Breath of the Wild is missing multiplayer so while it may be a 10/10 game, it is also missing a vital component for game of the decade. You need the complete package. I know this forum doesn't care for MP for some reason but it's a really important aspect of gaming for most people and we shouldn't discount it.
I will say I love Prey though.
Well deserved. An Incredible experience than has stuck with me for more that 6 years now. Cannot wait for Part II!
As someone who thinks Breath of the Wild (a game that I have complicated feelings towards) is going to be at the top of most of these lists, it's nice to see games that I actually think deserve the spot. TLOU isn't my choice (that's either going to Bloodborne or the first season of The Walking Dead) but it's certainly up there!

Like a lot of others here, I enjoyed it, but it's not my favourite game. It's a respectable choice though - in the 2020's, 30's and maybe even 40's I expect this game will still be remembered when other games I enjoyed more are long forgotten.
And critics disagree with that take given that Halo: Reach has a 91 on metacritic for the 360 and an 82 for the PC.
It's right behind The Witcher 3 and Mass Effect 2 for me but really can't disagree with it being anyone's top for sure.
Blows me away how much love this game gets. Good story and setting but beyond that it did nothing for me. Gameplay felt bland, can't remember anything soundtrack wise.
Simply because the game was too human, didn't rely in shock value and how the relationship between Ellie and Joel is developed was unseen. And that ending? No one expected that. If anything, tlou made people (that are not casual gamers) accept games can deliver a good well written story.
Yeah but it doesn't hold a candle to tlou popularity. Everybody knows tlou.
