[GameSpot] God of War vs The Last of Us (it Begins)
- Thread starter v_iHuGi
- Start date
Why compare them though? Not even the same genre smh
A more controversial and hot take topic would be GoW vs BoTW :)

The Last of Us is on another level to God of War in terms of narrative and atmosphere. But God of War has better gameplay.
I agree. They're somewhat different games, despite the obvious influence of one upon the other.
I can very easily say GoW is the better game. I'm really interested to see how or if Naughty Dog can marry great gameplay mechanics and the cinematic experience in The Last of Us 2 as well as SMS did in GoW.

When I first played The Last of Us I was annoyed by the forced stealth and dropped off very quickly. I absolutely adore God of War. But with a few years' distance from my initial experience with TLOU, and being in a different headspace these days when it comes to gaming, I'd like to give it another shot.
Both!
TloU is a game I have replayed 8 times and spend countless hours in the mp mode.
GoW is a game that I am spending my payed leave on.

Arent they though?
GoW can definitely be considered an RPG nowadays.
What makes Zelda an RPG?
No. Rather not have another fanboy shit fest. Keeping it in-house should lead to more civil discussion.
Exactly this. Last of Us will probably be my favorite story based game for a long time to come.
Yeah. This is how I feel. I'm still playing God of War, but I'll probably end up liking it more overall because it's more game-like.
Refining UC4's gameplay + TLoU's narrative brilliance would do it for me.
No they aren't
Good thing you can count
God of War is much more fun to play. I can't see myself going back to TLoU after one playthrough, just like other recent Naughty Dog games.
Also, it's a shame that this kind of clickbaiting is what GameSpot has come to. I remember when they used to do meaningful journalism on there.
God of War is actually fun to play, and not just watch. It's combat is also more favored towards skilled gameplay, rather than trial and error BS.
I think God of War and Breath of the Wild are both in the same action/adventure-RPG hybrid genre, to be honest.
And since both are among my favorite games ever, I think I love that genre :)
I don't generally replay story focused games ever, but I replayed TLOU and the DLC at least 3 times. It's that good.
GameSpot just resort to whatever clickbaiting is necessary to hold on to clicks. They've tried just about every trick in the book (they even absorbed GameFAQs as a sub-domain just to try and keep traffic up).
Both are great games.. The Last of Us is the best I played on the PS3, and God of War is the best I played on PS4.
They're definitely more similar to each other in that action adventure RPG elements genre we have nowadays. Only thing similar with TLOU and GoW is that they're both third person.
BOI vs Ellie?
I choose BOI for the simple fact that he doesn't break my immersion by walking Infront of people.

God of War is a much better game.
Big bombastic boss fights, jaw-dropping environments, excellent combat, great characters, a touching narrative, lots of cool side content, loads of different enemy types, etc.
The Last of Us is a great game, but Naughty Dog need to be way more ambitious in the gameplay department for me (in order to compete with what SSM have produced).

I don't think so. Go ahead and let whatever you want out ;p
Well, it's not like TLoU is a forgettable experience, I don't agree with the comparison though, I find them pointless.
Yeah.
The Last of Us narrative gave me feels, it felt like an epic adventure movie rather than the predictable zombie stuff. God of War narrative makes me cringe, it's so gamey cliche and aimed at the lowest common denominator.
But then I'm not enjoying the new God of War anywhere near as much as everyone else seems to be, so that obviously bares some influence.
