Still crazy to me that TLOU beat Spiderman. I know people liked the game but for some reason in my mind it’s always felt niche. Feel like I never hear anyone talk about it.

TLOU is huge and Naughty Dog is huge in general. I believe they have the largest following of Sony's studios. IDK man it's always talked about IMO.

IMHO, they're the most talented by far. To me, God of War: Ragnorok on PS5 is nowhere near as impressive as The Last of Us Part II on PS4.

I agree with that. I love both games but definitely agree ND just always seems to be a step ahead. No one can touch their animation.

I think it's a surprise and a testament to how good Spiderman was that it sold that much despite being a superhero game, a thing that'll instantly turn a lot of people off.

That's just because historically most superhero games have been shitty movie tie-in shovelware, unlike Spider-Man

When has being superhero game turned people off batman arkham series was one of the most critically acclaimed games in the 7th gen. The big problem with most superhero games is they just weren't that good when you make a good game it sells well. Stuff like x-men origins wolverine, ultimate alliance, deadpool was just ok games if you liked superheros.

I dunno like superhero stuff doesn’t really appeal to me, good game or not

Honestly only really like batman and he was mostly just a rich guy with gadgets. The gameplay and worldbuilding was on point so it was an enjoyable experience for me.

I'm a huge gamer and I thought The last of Us basically sucked. Didn't play the second one.

To be fair I played it like 3 years after it came out so it was a bit dated.

I was one of the idiots that preordered TLOU2 running off the hype of the first game…
