Please remove the red line at the bottom of the thumbnail for your videos. It made me think I already watched this video and I'm sure others would have seen it that way too, so you could be missing out on views ^^
The review came out 9 hours ago. Your comment is 8 hours ago. You seriously cannot remember if you watched a distinct review from an hour ago? Lmao. That's your fault, not Gamespots.
It's unbelievable really. That 2 games that no one thought were ever coming out (FFXV and TLG) came out in the same year both turned out to be amazing games
Why do Xbox fans always write negative comments about sony games lol. It's just gaming not a competition. Unless you got stocks in Microsoft then you should feel threatened by playstation...
blackstarGOaT You serious?? At the start of this generation all you had was ps4 fanboys all over these pages... just buy both.... or be happy with what you have.
NickTheGeek Im not a fanboy of anything. I just find it interesting xbox fans go out of their way to bash a sony game since it helps in their fake console war. Im sure sony fan do something similar just an observation of this instance
Really?Did you actually said this regarding Xbox fanboys.Playstation fanboys should be the last to use that argument considering that they are the worst offenders of this
I played both and I agree that this game looks as mediocre as Ico. Ico was important when it was released because it did something different and explored narratives in videogames in a new way, but it has always been really bad mechanically, with annoying controls, bad cameras and poor puzzle designs. Most people are willing to forgive that (myself included), but it's just that Last Guardian doesn't really seems like it brings anything new to save it
So gamespots reviews are better because they gave higher score to a game you want to play?.I do have an answer to your question though.It's you my friend.You're a basement dwelling neckbeard Thats too petty to take off his fanboy glasses.Thats why Gamespot's review are better
I'm so happy that Playstation focuses on the single player experiences, and I hope it continues to do so. This will be an emotional 10-year-waiting ride I can tell.
kernelPANIC it means there are no major spoilers, but you might see or hear something that you consider a spoiler that the reviewer doesn't think of as a spoiler.
ipetloudog How? Cause they actually mentioned the good AND the BAD about the game? Their review was on point whereas GS wasn't. It's usually the other way around:
Damn this review was a polar opposite of the IGN review. As the IGN reviewer kept complaining about the camera and how Triko was not listening to his commands. This guy focused on what the game did good and only that.
From this review it seems that the communication issue is designed into the game especially in the first half hour and alleviated gradually as the two characters get used to each other. in other words... it's part of the game experience
I don't see why Doom is considered one of the best games of the year, and frankly I'm tired of hearing it. The campaign is pretty boring with no context (killing the shit out of demons and exploring decrepit hallways is only fun for so long) and multiplayer is ruined by CoD bullshit. I like that it has a generally old school gameplay style, but aside from that Doom is a pretty forgettable, mediocre game.
WillToNihilsm I can care less about internet trolls or fuckery as you call it. I am not a fanboy I don't have any loyalty to one side or the other. If fuckwad is the best people can come up with for insults man I must be old like you said.
robert rice IGN review was garbage. Super contradictory and the score doesn't reflect the praise he gave the game. Cameras are definitely frustrating but expecting an untrained animal to do everything you want the first time you ask is insane. It's almost like they've never had a pet
This is exactly what I was expecting, you either love it or hate it, nothing in-between. Ratings range from abysmal to masterpiece, we rarely see that 😁
wow..microsoft needs to work on their exclusive...ps4 gets the last guardian, ni oh, persona 5, horizon zero dawn, and soon last of us II, death stranding, and god of war 4. so many more in the future....xbox? anything after GOW4? hardly touch my xbox now.
so people play only their systems for their exclusives? not 3rd party games etc? K den. Btw i have all systems, so I want a cookie aswell as a pony reply. Thanks.
I can't even argue that, I've been a fan of the Xbox since the first one and all they've really done since 2011 is ruin everything I liked about it. Halo was my favorite game ever but now it's trash, people used to see Halo as one of the titans of the industry, now people laugh and scoff at it. Gears Judgement killed the franchise, and 4 was too "meh" to revive it. Forza is cool but niche. All other exclusives have been too fucking weak to mention. PS4 now has all the console features that made the first two Xboxes more appealing, and hasn't killed all it's flagship titles. It's more popular in Asia, and has a ton of variety with Pro and VR. It's fucking sad how much of a travesty the Xbox One is, hopefully the Scorpio can save the Xbox brand but if not then I doubt there's much hope left.
Why is that creature highly detailed even every single fucking feather moves in real time according to wind and the boy looks like an npc from 2006 video game?
Ethan Webb I don't really get this artistic choice thing like the game looks freakin beautiful, arguably better than witcher 3 but the protagonist who looks like he's from a completely different game.
This is one of the most beautiful games I ever seen in my life. And Tricois one of the best NPCs, I ever seen in a game. I dont see such a good NPC companion since Elizabeth from bioshock infinity.
Ok 1, the graphics are purposely stylized. 2. I can't believe people actually bash this game (aside from sometimes awkward controls), if you actually don't have the patience to play a great game like this, do everyone a favour and go back the infinite warfare.
sorry but your being as unfair to criticism as are some of the people bashing this game, frankly the graphics are ps3 graphics and stylization isn't going to change that blatant truth. as for it being a great game.. well there have been a lot of issues reported outside what was spoken here and many of them i can say have been experienced on my end as well and won't say this game is great just because of how amazing ico and shadow was, but don't get me wrong it's still a good game and doesn't deserve to be bashed because of technical problems. though telling someone to go back to infinite warfare is as unfair as being judged for said technical issues because frankly the people who are playing this game and are putting it down... are just as much fans as you or i and if that's their opinion..that's there opinion and it has nothing to do with their patience or if they "get" how to play the game or not.
Phoenix2450 people said the same thing about star fox zero. great games awkward controls still low ratings. it's just the hype its a pretty average game.
For everyone that wants a real perspective. This game deserves a 8/10 because it has issues like camera controls, normal movement controls and some clunky stuffbas well, however is still a pretty good game
At least this year was great for gaming Uncharted 4, Doom, Titanfall 2, Overwatch, Dark Souls 3, Dishonored 2, X Com 2, battlefield 1, Firewatch, FFXV, and now The Last Guardian. Its great to be a gamer right now looking forward to 2017.
Glosses over the fact the framerate on base PS4 is horrendous, it's not even a consistent 30fps. Drops to like 20fps and hovers around 25fps most of the time. Utterly unplayable. On the Pro you can choose between 1080p and better framerate (but still only 30fps) or 4k and a framerate much like the base PS4.
I don't mean to be the Ubisoft employee here, but playing Shadow of the Colossus with a sub 30 fps frame rate was actually far more immersive and employed a greater sense of scale than buttery 60 fps. Don't get me wrong, I get nauseous from sub 50 fps First Person games, and just don't enjoy sub 50 third person games, but for Ico games, it's different.
I don't get the framerate thing; i've played games that have chugged along, but because it was 20 years ago, we just assumed something awesome was happening off screen. Now gamers are saying less than 60 fps makes them physically sick; nut jobs..
I haven't play the game, but it looks like IGN Focus more in technical aspects and Gamespot in the experience, for me if a game is that strong and can make you "forgive" or even ignore this technical things, the game is worth it. I used to only see ign reviews but now, I have found several times that Gamespot match better with the things I like in a game
Another quality and artistic exclusive that can't be appreciated by XBONERS! They just stick to their generic Gears of Dudebro, Forza, and Dead Failing zombie games ( ^_^)
I love the "dead failing zombie games" because not only is he wrong (DR4 has been getting good reviews so far) but he's also being blind because it's on PS4 aswell. Blind fanboys...
Superdog IGN's review was 4 minutes long and only scraped over the good parts of this game and the reviewer was negative all throughout. IGN's reviews have plummeted. They used to be good with reviewers like Greg Miller. Not anymore
It looks to have all of the care and attention to detail that Team Ico are famous for. I think it looks pretty great and i'll be picking it up on Friday when it comes out in the UK. Can't wait!
My friend is bringing his Ps4 so we can play it. I'm letting him use my steam account to play overwatch and my other games while i enjoy this. see doesn't matter what console you have if you like the game you'll find a way to play it.
Yes! This is well said. The type of "game" that ICO, SotC and TLG were are an "acquired taste." Just like how there are games that use a single button and ones that have no story. These games use a certain dissonance between the player and the world they've been invited to explore. You're not given responsive control, all the answers (even at the end), the most intentionally cooperative AI or even gameplay that is very clear. You are simply a single guest in Ueda's games. It's not your typical game franchise where the world gives you all the power and control you demand to get what you want out of it and that understandably bothers a lot of people. As someone who wants to be an animal trainer someday, it's a similar feeling of reward when you figure out how to communicate or translate your intentions with Trico. It wants to constantly remind you that you're not only element at play in the game with its own mind.
I agree with this. Sometimes the controls feel a bit ropey in Shadow Of The Colossus, but it seems to make the experience feel more real. It makes the game better because the controls aren't super responsive and precise. Im pretty sure its actual designed to be that way.
Remember when IGN had less views than Gamespot? But the Gamespot changed its web site and alienated their older audience and now they half the views of IGN. Haha yeah, good times.
I still can't believe this game is actually out. This thing has been in development for like almost a freaking decade, and from what I've read, it's actually pretty good. Which really surprises me considering that games that are infamous for being in development hell usually turn out to be junk like Duke Nukem Forever.
Well, everybody is talking about the camera and control issues, but nobody seems to remember that SotC had similar problems and that didn't affected too much the overall experience. In the particular case of the camera, SotC camera was weird and interesting at the same time. The engine was coded to always try to create aesthetically complex angles to create awesome compositions with the camera in real time. It worked really well most of the times, but some times, especially with indoor combats, the engine failed to decide how to position the camera while compensating for the colossus' excessive movement and wall and ceilling collisions at the same time. It was the price to pay for a dynamic AI controlled camera. For what I'm hearing and reading it seems that TLG went for a similar approach. If that's the case, then yes. The camera IS weird, but it was design with the goal of creating some beautiful shots as well. In SotC I did had some frustration with the camera, but it wasn't a constant, and the shots it created when it worked are still tattoed in my memory. I didn't played TLG yet, so I can't express an standalone opinion, but if this is the approach they took (which is most likely), then the frustration will come more from a lack of custom to this unorthodox camera design (I don't know about other studio with this particular approach to camera controls) that from a bad design. Something similar happened with SotC and its horse controls. They are maybe the best and most accurate horse controls in the history of the medium, but its unorthodox approach cost it a ton of critics.
If I wasn't a fan of Shadow of the Colossus due to seemingly unresponsive at times controls and frustrating setbacks due to things that don't feel like my fault (i.e. losing my stamina when there's seemingly no place to replenish it), would it be possible to like The Last Guardian?
The Last Guardian is a great game. I know people always talk about it's flaws. Yes it does have some but it's minor. Don't let that keep you from playing this game. it's unique. definitely one of a kind. Only thing i wish was that you could go back and play certain parts of the game. But whatever. Go get it if you are interested plus i think the price went down at best buy
Viwe Mbava Jesus Christ...who's the star in this fucking game? This lovely and intriguing creature (and his feathers moving all along his body) or this boy? Fuck the boy...
If you liked ico, then you'll like this game. Like its predecessor, the last guardian is enriched with stunning visuals, superb level design, clever puzzles, a vague but intriguing story and a heartfelt companionship. I haven't beaten it yet, but I'm playing through it now and absolutely loving it, and unlike everyone else, I'm not letting the camera and controls soil my immersion.
After playing 4 plus hours and being a huge Team Ico fan... honestly this game is 7 to 10 years too late. Its good at best, and thats only if your a fan. Hate on this comment all you want but its the truth. Play it first to form your own opinion... then be honest with yourself." #RealTalk
danoman64 Umm... isn't that exactly what i said. form your own opinion on the game??? Dude enjoy a half baked idea/game. You can't wish something into existence... if I could, I would wish for World Peace and to end hunger across the world. At the end of the day its just a game, a broken one at that." #RealTalk
Jake Willsher So if I'm white I can't have a black friend? If I like peanut butter I can't like jelly? If I enjoy winter I can't love summer? Think about what you just said... I GAME ON ALL CONSOLES!!! I'm not a robot or a child, I can make an educated decision on my own... I choose NOT to console discriminate. Game on my friend, game on."
So a game with bad controls, camera, and broken mechanics gets a 9 because it's pretty and has a heartfelt relationship between boy and beast. Even going as far make excuses for the bad mechanics. I wanted this to be good, but most of the good reviews it's getting seem to be derived from nostalgia of Ico, and clouded by the charm of the game.
Mourning Would so fallout 4 with day1 game breaking bugs gets a 9 cuz its fallout ? plus, camera and bad controls are soooo negligible , soo minor , ever played ico and sotc? those games had those but they averaged 9s too 😂😂
mike runtal Fallout 4 had game breaking bugs? Not in my experience. I also didn't think it was great. The faction quests were extremely redundant and mindlessly endless. And yep, gameplay matters A LOT, so when the gameplay is marred by bad controls, camera, and broken mechanics, then the game isn't very good. The thing that bothers me the most is that the game could've, and after the time in development, should've been a masterpiece. But it's not. Yet it's getting scored by some like it is, simply because of its lineage. IGN scored it the way it should be.
Mourning Would i prefer story over gameplay but it depends on the game , dont misunderstand, im good with the score, i just dont agree how it got d score . a 7 for bad controls and camera issues ? i mean really ? that so minor issue bro and he didnt say anything bout broken mechanics .
Daxter Having these problems is the reason why it's not a 10/10. Let's drop the crap and let's appreciate the fact that games like these are unique and that not everything should be a shooter.
Carlos Vega who the fk said everything has to be a shooter? The fact that the game has been in developement for such a long time and yet it feels so dated its a HUGE problem, not to mention the frame rate drops are very often and noticeable
Soco de Mesa I didnt say its a dissapointment cuz I dont even care much about this game, but considering that the game has been in developement for more than 7 years and feels like a game that should have been released in 2005, really shows a HUGE problem with it. Its a pretty MEH game
finished the game and this is one of the best reviews I've seen! The last guardian is a masterpiece in story telling, incredible game! Best you can get on PS4.
I haven't played this game yet; but, just from looking at it and how it plays, it really is a special addition to the evolving video gaming industry. 9/10 would seem fair to me. Ueuda has been one of my favorite video game designers and artists in video gaming history. I hope this game will solidify his presence in the industry and help him make a game that he has more control of.
Kingdom Hearts had clunky controls and a bad camera. And it's one of the best games of all time IMO. I enjoyed the remaster more than most games that are coming out......
all I want from this game is what I got from ico and SOTC something completely different and unique and it seems I'm going to get this again with this game
I really hope they make a second follow on game. Maybe them meeting together after years apart and you play as trico trying to leave the area again and finding his way to the village. :)
How is this a 9? According to IGN this game has wonky controls and a bad camera. I can usually count on GS to review games fairly and be objective, but this is one such case where IGN did a way better job. I swear if this game wasn't made by the Team Ico people this game would have gotten a 6 or 7. There is no reason why this game gets a 9 despite its issues, but lots of other games reviewed this year has gotten much lower scores, but deserved way more praise.
there are types of people when it comes to this game 1. people who it as one of the greatest games ever 2. people who are not even sure if it is a game or not.
A '7' is not a bad score. Average scores are good for estimating what a game may be like, but at the end of the day reviews each have their own opinions on a game. Also because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't always mean that they're wrong or stupid.
This game isn't going to sell well at all. I'm a big gamer, and I just don't give a shit about this game, and I feel like that that's a common theme for most people.
***** I agree that it was told horribly and the side quest could do a little more work but everything else is good that's why I gave it a 9 and about the Last Guardian I've seen playthroughs of it and I can see that it's a good game but definitely not a 9.
thank God this game is good. games that usually take like 10 yrs of development usually end up being dissapointment but now it looks like the other way around
Some cry because the score is too high. Some cry because it's too low. The rest actually play the game.
why does gamespot put the red bar at the bottom of their thumbnail? do they want people to think they already watched it and get no views?
Please remove the red line at the bottom of the thumbnail for your videos. It made me think I already watched this video and I'm sure others would have seen it that way too, so you could be missing out on views ^^
tderias was just about to comment that as well
tderias jus happen to me am like wait 1hr ago I didn't watch this but yet I see red line lol
Rico Harding in android, yes..
The review came out 9 hours ago. Your comment is 8 hours ago. You seriously cannot remember if you watched a distinct review from an hour ago? Lmao. That's your fault, not Gamespots.
personally it feals like a form of clickbait to me
It's unbelievable really. That 2 games that no one thought were ever coming out (FFXV and TLG) came out in the same year both turned out to be amazing games
Same man. FFXV was amazing and I can't wait to play Last Guardian.
Shy Guy and forget doom
+Medy I was about to lol. 😂
Woo!
King Lurch My bad bro
Why do Xbox fans always write negative comments about sony games lol. It's just gaming not a competition. Unless you got stocks in Microsoft then you should feel threatened by playstation...
blackstarGOaT one word, salt.
Alex Pena yeah just be happy that these consoles have good games
blackstarGOaT You serious?? At the start of this generation all you had was ps4 fanboys all over these pages...
just buy both.... or be happy with what you have.
NickTheGeek Im not a fanboy of anything. I just find it interesting xbox fans go out of their way to bash a sony game since it helps in their fake console war. Im sure sony fan do something similar just an observation of this instance
Really?Did you actually said this regarding Xbox fanboys.Playstation fanboys should be the last to use that argument considering that they are the worst offenders of this
I'm sure that the people who is bashing this game didn't ever played Ico or Shadow of the Colossus.
Andy Yau this game sucks I did play ico it fucking sucks just like the the ps4
Andy Yau Or maybe they have mixed thougths over this game and aren't hating on it just because
kakashi hatake Ico and SotC probably came out before you were born
I played both and I agree that this game looks as mediocre as Ico.
Ico was important when it was released because it did something different and explored narratives in videogames in a new way, but it has always been really bad mechanically, with annoying controls, bad cameras and poor puzzle designs. Most people are willing to forgive that (myself included), but it's just that Last Guardian doesn't really seems like it brings anything new to save it
Are you 7?
Why nowadays are all GameSpot reviews better than IGN's?
They usually always have ign is the literal definition of shit their reviews are terrible and biased
Matthew Harris Because Greg and Colin left lol
Good question.
So gamespots reviews are better because they gave higher score to a game you want to play?.I do have an answer to your question though.It's you my friend.You're a basement dwelling neckbeard Thats too petty to take off his fanboy glasses.Thats why Gamespot's review are better
yeah Gamespot nailed it when they gave the last of us a 7, how IGN gave it a 10 i'll never know. average game.
I'm so happy that Playstation focuses on the single player experiences, and I hope it continues to do so. This will be an emotional 10-year-waiting ride I can tell.
wow. first final fantasy xv, then westworld finale and now this? what a month to be alive!
and the last of us trailer
Prabhjot exactly, damn
this game is too overhyped
Nowhere near as overhyped as No Man's Sky, and this game had a legacy to hold, hence why it was hyped up.
Rayan Arshed yea i agree
"MAY contain spoilers"? What kind of warning is that? Does or does it not contain spoilers?
Jeez, not watching because of that...
kernelPANIC it means there are no major spoilers, but you might see or hear something that you consider a spoiler that the reviewer doesn't think of as a spoiler.
ign is out of their mind
i hate ign
ipetloudog How? Cause they actually mentioned the good AND the BAD about the game? Their review was on point whereas GS wasn't. It's usually the other way around:
They're not the only ones that say the gamr has problems , look at the jim sterling video
None of their new reviewers can actually play games. So, when a game challenges them too much, they get frustrated and shit out a negative review.
I don't like ign but controls are kinda important.
IGN gave it a 7 until the Weapons Pak DLC drops.
It's 9/10
Damn this review was a polar opposite of the IGN review. As the IGN reviewer kept complaining about the camera and how Triko was not listening to his commands. This guy focused on what the game did good and only that.
Sagara Sousuke Well this game does have camera and movement issues so yeah
Thats what happens when sony gives you a check for doing a positive review
connor broslow Or by having a different opinion. Shocking I know.
From this review it seems that the communication issue is designed into the game especially in the first half hour and alleviated gradually as the two characters get used to each other.
in other words... it's part of the game experience
Now buddy you stole exactly what i wanted to say
This Year has been amazing for gaming, Doom, Uncharted 4 and now The Last Guardian
BlackDildoBoyWithDiabetes LovesHorseCock uncharted 4 was good
BlackDildoBoyWithDiabetes LovesHorseCock Sure.
BlackDildoBoyWithDiabetes LovesHorseCock please list me the best games of 2016
dont fed the trol, either trol or either 12 year old who hasnt played 2 games in his hole life and doesnt know for shit what he is talking about
I don't see why Doom is considered one of the best games of the year, and frankly I'm tired of hearing it. The campaign is pretty boring with no context (killing the shit out of demons and exploring decrepit hallways is only fun for so long) and multiplayer is ruined by CoD bullshit.
I like that it has a generally old school gameplay style, but aside from that Doom is a pretty forgettable, mediocre game.
IGN gave it a 7 lol.
Forget about IGN, they're casuals
VR Snake 7 is still a good grade, what's the matter?
VR Snake Too much feels 7/10- IGN
Not for a game like this.
have you even played it?
Damn! Trico's animations are so well done and impressive.
It's a shame the character you actually play has terrible controls and the camera angles are atrocious.
Rem Natsuki Let's play some Call of duty buddy.
Did you rike it?
Rem Natsuki to bad weeabos are socially akward
The dankest of all dank caves.
WhoaNellyJake when the script has a typo
theleogeckoguy That's not a typo...look up the definition of dank (not the urban dictionary def)
WhoaNellyJake an air horn caws in the distance
IGN 7/10, adult ADHD kicked in after 30 mins so the reviewer went back to TitanFall 2. Lol
WillToNihilsm dude take a chill pill really, I didn't know people had to politically correct when joking. My son has ADHD and it's not something bad.
WillToNihilsm I can care less about internet trolls or fuckery as you call it. I am not a fanboy I don't have any loyalty to one side or the other. If fuckwad is the best people can come up with for insults man I must be old like you said.
robert rice IGN review was garbage. Super contradictory and the score doesn't reflect the praise he gave the game. Cameras are definitely frustrating but expecting an untrained animal to do everything you want the first time you ask is insane. It's almost like they've never had a pet
Damn dawg, you weren't joking. That cave is hella dank. Throw up some memes and get a rave going in there boiiiiiii
I literally went on a scavenger hunt in the comments for this observation. Wud r8 ur comment 8/8 no h8 m8 its f8 dank guardian boi.
r8 dis cave dank/69
SONY cash !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I was expecting, you either love it or hate it, nothing in-between. Ratings range from abysmal to masterpiece, we rarely see that 😁
wow..microsoft needs to work on their exclusive...ps4 gets the last guardian, ni oh, persona 5, horizon zero dawn, and soon last of us II, death stranding, and god of war 4. so many more in the future....xbox? anything after GOW4? hardly touch my xbox now.
so people play only their systems for their exclusives? not 3rd party games etc? K den. Btw i have all systems, so I want a cookie aswell as a pony reply. Thanks.
Liverbird And more important, why will anyone with all consoles buy the inferior XBox version?
Don't forget Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne
I can't even argue that, I've been a fan of the Xbox since the first one and all they've really done since 2011 is ruin everything I liked about it.
Halo was my favorite game ever but now it's trash, people used to see Halo as one of the titans of the industry, now people laugh and scoff at it. Gears Judgement killed the franchise, and 4 was too "meh" to revive it. Forza is cool but niche. All other exclusives have been too fucking weak to mention.
PS4 now has all the console features that made the first two Xboxes more appealing, and hasn't killed all it's flagship titles. It's more popular in Asia, and has a ton of variety with Pro and VR. It's fucking sad how much of a travesty the Xbox One is, hopefully the Scorpio can save the Xbox brand but if not then I doubt there's much hope left.
xbox = blu-ray player
Why is that creature highly detailed even every single fucking feather moves in real time according to wind and the boy looks like an npc from 2006 video game?
ganoji praneeth he doesn't.
It's a stylistic choice from the developer.
Ethan Webb
I don't really get this artistic choice thing like the game looks freakin beautiful, arguably better than witcher 3 but the protagonist who looks like he's from a completely different game.
ganoji praneeth Well, you should ask the developers, then.
hahahaha
This is one of the most beautiful games I ever seen in my life. And Tricois one of the best NPCs, I ever seen in a game. I dont see such a good NPC companion since Elizabeth from bioshock infinity.
Ok 1, the graphics are purposely stylized.
2. I can't believe people actually bash this game (aside from sometimes awkward controls), if you actually don't have the patience to play a great game like this, do everyone a favour and go back the infinite warfare.
sorry but your being as unfair to criticism as are some of the people bashing this game, frankly the graphics are ps3 graphics and stylization isn't going to change that blatant truth. as for it being a great game.. well there have been a lot of issues reported outside what was spoken here and many of them i can say have been experienced on my end as well and won't say this game is great just because of how amazing ico and shadow was, but don't get me wrong it's still a good game and doesn't deserve to be bashed because of technical problems. though telling someone to go back to infinite warfare is as unfair as being judged for said technical issues because frankly the people who are playing this game and are putting it down... are just as much fans as you or i and if that's their opinion..that's there opinion and it has nothing to do with their patience or if they "get" how to play the game or not.
Phoenix2450 are you joking? this game has better animations than almost every AAA game this year
Phoenix2450 people said the same thing about star fox zero. great games awkward controls still low ratings. it's just the hype its a pretty average game.
The creature's animation is stellar. Great review too.
For everyone that wants a real perspective. This game deserves a 8/10 because it has issues like camera controls, normal movement controls and some clunky stuffbas well, however is still a pretty good game
Thats YOUR opinion.
Big Daddy lol what? You cant even type proper english.
Oh big deal, a typo that i made.
soo fallout 4 who has day1 game breaking bugs gets 9 and no one bats an eye cuz its fallout ? camera issues and bad controls r so minor bro .
Bad controls are not minor. A game with bad controls is shit to play.
At least this year was great for gaming Uncharted 4, Doom, Titanfall 2, Overwatch, Dark Souls 3, Dishonored 2, X Com 2, battlefield 1, Firewatch, FFXV, and now The Last Guardian. Its great to be a gamer right now looking forward to 2017.
The person reviewing this game has some good vocabulary.
This looks pretty incredible. Like a fine piece art distilled into a video game. I'm shocked they pulled it off.
Glosses over the fact the framerate on base PS4 is horrendous, it's not even a consistent 30fps. Drops to like 20fps and hovers around 25fps most of the time. Utterly unplayable. On the Pro you can choose between 1080p and better framerate (but still only 30fps) or 4k and a framerate much like the base PS4.
so cinematic
I wanted to pick this game up, but there is no way I can enjoy it with the frame rate issue this shit.
I don't mean to be the Ubisoft employee here, but playing Shadow of the Colossus with a sub 30 fps frame rate was actually far more immersive and employed a greater sense of scale than buttery 60 fps. Don't get me wrong, I get nauseous from sub 50 fps First Person games, and just don't enjoy sub 50 third person games, but for Ico games, it's different.
um 20 fps is fine it's much more cinematic that way :/ :/ : /
I don't get the framerate thing; i've played games that have chugged along, but because it was 20 years ago, we just assumed something awesome was happening off screen. Now gamers are saying less than 60 fps makes them physically sick; nut jobs..
UNPLAYABLE? Wow. I wonder how people got through Ocarina of Time running at 20fps. You fucking moron.
I haven't play the game, but it looks like IGN Focus more in technical aspects and Gamespot in the experience, for me if a game is that strong and can make you "forgive" or even ignore this technical things, the game is worth it.
I used to only see ign reviews but now, I have found several times that Gamespot match better with the things I like in a game
Another quality and artistic exclusive that can't be appreciated by XBONERS! They just stick to their generic Gears of Dudebro, Forza, and Dead Failing zombie games ( ^_^)
Yeah, really friendly comment right there.
Thane Krios I guess you're gonna call Halo "Gay-lo" next.
I love the "dead failing zombie games" because not only is he wrong (DR4 has been getting good reviews so far) but he's also being blind because it's on PS4 aswell.
Blind fanboys...
BrealBot DR4 is an awful Dead Rising game. The series has become Saints Row.
Forza Horizon is amazing though. Probably the best racing game out by faaaar
Fucking 9 yes, I'm hyped thought it was gonna be rough when I saw IGNs 7!
never believe ign
Good point.
but when gamespot gives low score an ign gives high score, that opinion changes... people are fickle
IGNs review sounded fair to be honest.
Superdog IGN's review was 4 minutes long and only scraped over the good parts of this game and the reviewer was negative all throughout. IGN's reviews have plummeted. They used to be good with reviewers like Greg Miller. Not anymore
Tricos often slow response to my commands actually made him feel real to me... I know it annoyed some people but I have no problem with it
It looks to have all of the care and attention to detail that Team Ico are famous for. I think it looks pretty great and i'll be picking it up on Friday when it comes out in the UK.
Can't wait!
Serpico's Beard It comes out tomorrow for us I think
karma I know i'm sad that i have to wait until Friday.
Serpico's Beard Ah not that long bro, you'll have it before you know :)
SUCH A INCREDIBLE GAME .
My friend is bringing his Ps4 so we can play it. I'm letting him use my steam account to play overwatch and my other games while i enjoy this. see doesn't matter what console you have if you like the game you'll find a way to play it.
Yes! This is well said. The type of "game" that ICO, SotC and TLG were are an "acquired taste." Just like how there are games that use a single button and ones that have no story. These games use a certain dissonance between the player and the world they've been invited to explore. You're not given responsive control, all the answers (even at the end), the most intentionally cooperative AI or even gameplay that is very clear.
You are simply a single guest in Ueda's games. It's not your typical game franchise where the world gives you all the power and control you demand to get what you want out of it and that understandably bothers a lot of people. As someone who wants to be an animal trainer someday, it's a similar feeling of reward when you figure out how to communicate or translate your intentions with Trico. It wants to constantly remind you that you're not only element at play in the game with its own mind.
I agree with this. Sometimes the controls feel a bit ropey in Shadow Of The Colossus, but it seems to make the experience feel more real. It makes the game better because the controls aren't super responsive and precise. Im pretty sure its actual designed to be that way.
The music sounds incredible.
The main character looks like Aang from the Avatar when he grew his hair.
Remember when IGN had less views than Gamespot? But the Gamespot changed its web site and alienated their older audience and now they half the views of IGN. Haha yeah, good times.
'member?
...so GameSpot cheated to get more views on their reviews? I don't understand...
I still can't believe this game is actually out. This thing has been in development for like almost a freaking decade, and from what I've read, it's actually pretty good. Which really surprises me considering that games that are infamous for being in development hell usually turn out to be junk like Duke Nukem Forever.
I thought this game got delayed. How come it's out early?
Toonses it did get delayed by about a decade...
caleb slagle No need for the hyperbole. It was in development for ten years. It was just delayed by 5.
And was only officially announced 7 years ago as well - anybody who started waiting for it before then is pretty foolish.
Well, everybody is talking about the camera and control issues, but nobody seems to remember that SotC had similar problems and that didn't affected too much the overall experience. In the particular case of the camera, SotC camera was weird and interesting at the same time. The engine was coded to always try to create aesthetically complex angles to create awesome compositions with the camera in real time. It worked really well most of the times, but some times, especially with indoor combats, the engine failed to decide how to position the camera while compensating for the colossus' excessive movement and wall and ceilling collisions at the same time. It was the price to pay for a dynamic AI controlled camera. For what I'm hearing and reading it seems that TLG went for a similar approach. If that's the case, then yes. The camera IS weird, but it was design with the goal of creating some beautiful shots as well. In SotC I did had some frustration with the camera, but it wasn't a constant, and the shots it created when it worked are still tattoed in my memory. I didn't played TLG yet, so I can't express an standalone opinion, but if this is the approach they took (which is most likely), then the frustration will come more from a lack of custom to this unorthodox camera design (I don't know about other studio with this particular approach to camera controls) that from a bad design. Something similar happened with SotC and its horse controls. They are maybe the best and most accurate horse controls in the history of the medium, but its unorthodox approach cost it a ton of critics.
The Last Guardian is a Masterpiece!
I agree! One of the best games ever!
9/10 for a pet simulator.... thats very polite of gamespot.
punk It's GameSpot
punk There's a big difference between GameSpot and GameStop.
Tiny Rick same difference.. similar names both in the gaming industry one sells, one reviews and promotes.
Yeah they should have made it first person and gave the kid a gun
Keith Norris if that tickles ur fancy.
is it worth 15 years of waiting
Detroit's Reaper no, but it's an alright game, without the bugs and camera glitches
from PS2 to PS4, also for PS5 remake/remastering...
If I wasn't a fan of Shadow of the Colossus due to seemingly unresponsive at times controls and frustrating setbacks due to things that don't feel like my fault (i.e. losing my stamina when there's seemingly no place to replenish it), would it be possible to like The Last Guardian?
A dank cave indeed.
420
Just finished playing through The Last Guardian and.............WOW!!!! An absolute masterpiece!!!
The dank cave is too spoopy
Why is it not a 10? Is it because of the hud and the technical issues? just curious
RIP Xbox one console!!
AmericavJapan 1909 y'all been saying that shit since knack lol 😂
AmericavJapan 1909 y'all been saying that shit since knack lol 😂
Qua dinero beatz And PS4 has been dominating Xbox since Knack
Qua dinero beatz knack? What's knack?? LMFAO😆😆😆
The Last Guardian is a great game. I know people always talk about it's flaws. Yes it does have some but it's minor. Don't let that keep you from playing this game. it's unique. definitely one of a kind. Only thing i wish was that you could go back and play certain parts of the game. But whatever. Go get it if you are interested plus i think the price went down at best buy
The boy isn't as detailed as the environment... kinda looks unfitting.
Thats a design decision and they want it like that. It fits really good.
That's actually pure art direction. Even the prerendered cutscene version of the boy looks like this.
Just like your fat ass
TheGamerClubber dafuq 😂
Viwe Mbava Jesus Christ...who's the star in this fucking game? This lovely and intriguing creature (and his feathers moving all along his body) or this boy?
Fuck the boy...
Happy to hear this game turned out well.
"Goty 2017 "
i'm calling it !!!
XD...
A lot of competition next year Legend of Zelda!
+AIDs Machine yeah.
you're pretty right,Nathan
Zelda probably will be My Goty 2017.
but i still thinks that this game will win the actual award.
XD...
Hahaha... No.
RaphaelJesusSR2 nah red dead 2
Red dead 2 or Mass effect Andromeda
I haven't played the game yet, but if the story ends with Trico dying or magically turning into a little girl,
you ALL owe me 5 bucks. EACH!
ign was goofin
Will probably pick this up after I've completed FFXV. I don't feel as hyped as everyone else seems to feel about it though.
Okay yeah i see what igns review is getting shat on.
If you liked ico, then you'll like this game. Like its predecessor, the last guardian is enriched with stunning visuals, superb level design, clever puzzles, a vague but intriguing story and a heartfelt companionship. I haven't beaten it yet, but I'm playing through it now and absolutely loving it, and unlike everyone else, I'm not letting the camera and controls soil my immersion.
After playing 4 plus hours and being a huge Team Ico fan... honestly this game is 7 to 10 years too late. Its good at best, and thats only if your a fan. Hate on this comment all you want but its the truth. Play it first to form your own opinion... then be honest with yourself." #RealTalk
KERUPT KILLER I don't take people seriously when they have an Xbox avatar as their profile picture commenting on a PlayStation exclusive.
KERUPT KILLER -Whatever you say, dood.
@ KILLER
What you said is SUBJECTIVE, there is no truth to it. It's your opinion, nothing more. #RealTake. Opinion =/=truth
danoman64 Umm... isn't that exactly what i said. form your own opinion on the game??? Dude enjoy a half baked idea/game. You can't wish something into existence... if I could, I would wish for World Peace and to end hunger across the world. At the end of the day its just a game, a broken one at that." #RealTalk
Jake Willsher So if I'm white I can't have a black friend? If I like peanut butter I can't like jelly? If I enjoy winter I can't love summer? Think about what you just said... I GAME ON ALL CONSOLES!!! I'm not a robot or a child, I can make an educated decision on my own... I choose NOT to console discriminate. Game on my friend, game on."
A decade in the making. Glad it paid off.
cant wait
This Destiny dlc is amazing.
So a game with bad controls, camera, and broken mechanics gets a 9 because it's pretty and has a heartfelt relationship between boy and beast. Even going as far make excuses for the bad mechanics. I wanted this to be good, but most of the good reviews it's getting seem to be derived from nostalgia of Ico, and clouded by the charm of the game.
Mourning Would so fallout 4 with day1 game breaking bugs gets a 9 cuz its fallout ? plus, camera and bad controls are soooo negligible , soo minor , ever played ico and sotc? those games had those but they averaged 9s too 😂😂
Gameplay matters ALOT.
mike runtal Fallout 4 had game breaking bugs? Not in my experience. I also didn't think it was great. The faction quests were extremely redundant and mindlessly endless. And yep, gameplay matters A LOT, so when the gameplay is marred by bad controls, camera, and broken mechanics, then the game isn't very good. The thing that bothers me the most is that the game could've, and after the time in development, should've been a masterpiece. But it's not. Yet it's getting scored by some like it is, simply because of its lineage. IGN scored it the way it should be.
Mourning Would i prefer story over gameplay but it depends on the game , dont misunderstand, im good with the score, i just dont agree how it got d score . a 7 for bad controls and camera issues ? i mean really ? that so minor issue bro and he didnt say anything bout broken mechanics .
I think an 8 would be decent.
Ico is one of my favorite games of all time, I'm sure I'm gonna love The Last Guardian
Its the reverse of ICO, where the lady not for you to save, but she saves you a lot instead~
9/10 really? Nice way to overrate it when you damn well know it has a lot of problems
Its Shanna lol butthurt much that you cant accept a long waited game to be a dissapointment?
Daxter Having these problems is the reason why it's not a 10/10. Let's drop the crap and let's appreciate the fact that games like these are unique and that not everything should be a shooter.
Carlos Vega who the fk said everything has to be a shooter? The fact that the game has been in developement for such a long time and yet it feels so dated its a HUGE problem, not to mention the frame rate drops are very often and noticeable
Daxter Butthurt much that someone gave 9 to the game and didn't think it's a dissapointment.
Move along, people.
Nothing to see here.
Soco de Mesa I didnt say its a dissapointment cuz I dont even care much about this game, but considering that the game has been in developement for more than 7 years and feels like a game that should have been released in 2005, really shows a HUGE problem with it. Its a pretty MEH game
finished the game and this is one of the best reviews I've seen! The last guardian is a masterpiece in story telling, incredible game! Best you can get on PS4.
So it's a walking simulator?
Abel Villa NO!!!
I have that one downloaded since it was free on PS+ but haven't played it yet, is it any good?
It does have some issues but man is it addictive the story line is enough to latch you throughout the game!! I think 9/10 is pretty fitting to me!!
7/10 "too much game"
.ign
I haven't played this game yet; but, just from looking at it and how it plays, it really is a special addition to the evolving video gaming industry. 9/10 would seem fair to me. Ueuda has been one of my favorite video game designers and artists in video gaming history. I hope this game will solidify his presence in the industry and help him make a game that he has more control of.
I'm really interested in this game. Should I go back and play shadow of the colossus first? or do they have no relation in terms of story?
No , it has nothing to do with previous games
This is what i call a review, i am not saying caz of any favourism. Those who don't believe me simply watch ign review first n then watch this video.
I think someone has been paid off.
Daza Maz yea, ign.
should be 7/10 bad controls bad camera
darkwowpg ign
Jayden Jones what?
darkwowpg ign gave it a 7 and complained almost the same thing.
IGN is waaay ahead of you, buddy
Kingdom Hearts had clunky controls and a bad camera. And it's one of the best games of all time IMO. I enjoyed the remaster more than most games that are coming out......
tears fall when your playing last guardian
DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS THIS GAME IS A MUST PLAY ITS AMAZING WORTH EVERY PENNY.
all I want from this game is what I got from ico and SOTC something completely different and unique and it seems I'm going to get this again with this game
5:20 Trico's mind=blown
I really hope they make a second follow on game. Maybe them meeting together after years apart and you play as trico trying to leave the area again and finding his way to the village. :)
The IGN review has over 3,000 dislikes. They gave it a 7. Much Respect to Gamespot for the honorable 9.
Is this game really long or shortened for multiplayer?
How is this a 9? According to IGN this game has wonky controls and a bad camera. I can usually count on GS to review games fairly and be objective, but this is one such case where IGN did a way better job. I swear if this game wasn't made by the Team Ico people this game would have gotten a 6 or 7. There is no reason why this game gets a 9 despite its issues, but lots of other games reviewed this year has gotten much lower scores, but deserved way more praise.
there are types of people when it comes to this game
1. people who it as one of the greatest games ever
2. people who are not even sure if it is a game or not.
Superb game that transcends being software to become something much more. Incredible craftsmanship.
A '7' is not a bad score. Average scores are good for estimating what a game may be like, but at the end of the day reviews each have their own opinions on a game. Also because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't always mean that they're wrong or stupid.
"Palpable inertia." Jesus.
Beat the game yesterday, its awesome! Got the CE 2 days early. :)
I bet they got Troy Baker or Nolan North's dog to mocap Trico
This game isn't going to sell well at all. I'm a big gamer, and I just don't give a shit about this game, and I feel like that that's a common theme for most people.
I know this is a good game but I just can't believe that this got a higher score than FFXV. This should be an 8 and FFXV should be a 9 in my opinion.
***** I agree that it was told horribly and the side quest could do a little more work but everything else is good that's why I gave it a 9 and about the Last Guardian I've seen playthroughs of it and I can see that it's a good game but definitely not a 9.
@Ryan Stewart Sure because replying like this isn't childish at all lol, I'd rather be a mouth breathing child than be in the same category as you
thank God this game is good. games that usually take like 10 yrs of development usually end up being dissapointment but now it looks like the other way around
The last guardian, Ff15, lol.this becoming a trend
A modern masterpiece. Applause applause.
I play everything on my Xbox but I love my PlayStation for the the exclusives. Just finished this game and loved it. 👍🏽👍🏽
this game came out?
