really?
with comments like this i can't this thread seriously, time to bail out
OP
OP
This thinking is just short sighted. Should we condemn the new generation of talent for them not being around when the foundations were laid? That's like saying Jordan Peele will never make a horror movie as good as John Carpenter
NOPE. I know there is not many mature story telling experiences like it in this medium but is a horrible mess and way overhyped. Guy doesn't come close to those legends. Story looked like a 12 year old wrote it, pacing god awful, only one boss fight and I could go on and on and on.
Not really. Gears of War was the originator of that trend, if anything. Uncharted didn't kick into gear and become "important" until the sequel.
This is just straight up blasphemy. Miyamoto is in a tier by himself.
At the very least, in term of cinematic storytelling, he's definitely one of the best in the industry imo
I wouldn't call gears of war cinematic. The cover system and (everything was gray/brown color scheme) was what made it influential. I dont think gears has that cinematic "label" from fans.
I knew this was gonna happen when TLOU2 came out but god the hyperbole is getting out of hand.
Exactly. At least give TLOU2 some distance to see if it influences anything.

No but I wouldn't put him on the pedestal all the time, especially over people who're currently working in the industry and constantly improving gaming and accessibility.
Was it ever even an argument outside of OP going out of his way to show his admiration for Druckman? If you appreciate the creative mind and his work you are able to support whoever you want and throw them in whatever conversation you want. There is no right answer - I'm a gigantic fan of Neil's work myself.
As for the number of users flooding the thread with "crunch" comments it seems pretty nonsensical and comes across as disingenuous. Not only because the conversation doesn't warrant it, but because crunch is a industry wide issue and far from being individualized to just Naughty Dog nor Druckmann of all people.

If you didn't play TLOU 2 you should not post stuff like this.
I don't want to post the gifs again and again just so people can see how good the game is but here we go again.
Stellar run my ass
The Uncharted games are scripted as hell
The guy barely makes a game that gameplay wise it's decent and y'all are already building altars
Cult of Kojima? More like Church of Druckmann
They're mistaking "game director" for a film director. As a writer and cutscene director, people can think whatever they want but they'd be crazy to think Kojima isn't one of the best game designers in the business.
Yes it is. Maybe if you really rush it 25 is possible, but the average person will take at least 30 hours I think.
And yes it does drag on and on.
I think you could argue that to an extent but Druckmann didn't start directing them until U4. He was a designer on Uncharted and Uncharted 2 and didn't work on Uncharted 3. He only started directing ND games from TLOU onwards. Before that it was Hennig/Straley.
And to be compared to the ones in the OT, he should do at least a game with some interesting new game feature. Because I don't think that an enemy shouting a random name whenever someone dies is a gameplay feature.
TLOU II is a solid game with a lot of money (and human suffering) behind it, if something we need to say that Sony deserves to be mentioned for funding all those big, untenable projects.

Wtf happens when he falls backwards and slides like that? Looks ridiculous stupid.
but i guess you don't have any problems with Miyamoto?
That's not how this works. Someone doesn't lose their prestige because they haven't done anything for you lately.
Gifs don't prove anything besides animation quality, we should stop using them as "prove that a game is incredible" to be honest.

First of all I finished the game on hard already so fuck off. Second you can do the exact the same thing in the first game except going prone.
How about you give it a couple of years and let the hype die down before you say ridiculous stuff like that?
Ehhhh. I don't particularly like Miyamoto's games, but he's a legend. Druckmann isn't quite up there yet.
Opinions.
All I can say is Miyamoto never gave me emotions like Neil did with both TLOU games.
