Oh I totally get that. I guess I was using the wrong word. 'Enjoyable' might be a more suitable word. Uncharted 2 was enjoyable from start to finish for me. There was no boring bits. As good as TLOU is, and while I still enjoyed the game a lot for the most part, there were times where it felt a little tedious and slow, certain bits felt forced, like I really did not want to do them and just wanted to move on with the story, and the pacing was a little slow at times (unnecessarily slow). It was the story in this game that kept me glued to my controller. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next, so I just kept playing and playing. Not many games do this for me.
I really think people took my post the wrong way. I'm not taking away anything from this game, it really is an amazing game and definitely up there as one of my favourites as I really love story-driven games, I just think it falls short in a few areas, that's all, and for me personally, I just don't think it quite lived up to the hype. It's not a perfect game.
'Best game ever made' is subjective, I agree, and if that is your opinion then I respect that, but for me personally I don't think this is the best game ever made. Probably comes close, but not quite there. I still think a lot of people are caught up in the hype and think this is the best game ever made because everyone else does, and because critics have raved on about it and gave it a 10. I honestly think if there was no hype for this game and it got average review scores, and if Naughty Dog wasn't attached to the title, peoples' opinions might be slightly different. I'll probably get flamed for saying that, but oh well, lol.

I'm assuming this was directed at me. I think you took my post the wrong way. I never said this game wasn't anything special. I appreciate the game for what it is, it's videogame art, and it's beautifully made, but I do think it is a little overhyped and I stand by that statement. When I said it would be better suited to a movie, I said that because I think as a story it is fantastic, but as a game it falls short in a few areas (for me, personally).
Overall, I'd probably rate the game a 9, but definitely not a 10.
