The Last Guardian Review: A Frustrating Misfire - Two Left Sticks

It's been nine years, and The Last Guardian is finally here. But, unfortunately, it doesn't look like the game made it through all that time unscathed.

It's so frustrating to wait so long and still hear about these technical issues. Even knowing they can be patched out, after 9 years, it shouldn't be an issue.

Maybe if you played it with a left stick and a right stick instead of two left sticks it might not have been such a misfire!?

zing....

funny how so many totally missed the humor in that comment.

stuna12790d ago

Thank you!!! People are too serious nowadays.

I am very sad to see this title end up like this. I will probably still give it a shot since it's been such a long time waiting for it.

Rimeskeem2790d ago

Don't only read this article. There are plenty of people who gave his game major praise.

It is getting mostly great reviews. It suffers from issues that the last two Team Ico games had but also shares what made them such classics

Silly Mammo2790d ago

With 30 reviews, it's averaging a solid 8.5. Not too bad for a niche game. Looking forward to playing it.

Since e3 2015 I have been predicting that this game would dissapoint many; I thought t was being overhyped too much and we hadn't really seen gameplay. I had envisioned a situation similar to No Mans Sky at worst. Upon reading this review, it seems to be even worse than I thought it would be. Very unfortunate :(
I hope this teaches people not to overhype games when they haven't really seen gameplay.
The tech issues especially surprise and confuse me

McErono2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

there are reviews saying this is a masterpiece (eurogamer), a monumental achievement (time)... but you are counting on a review of a unknown leftstick side? so be it, miss it...

TKCMuzzer2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

They confuse you because like many on N4G, we have no idea how to create a game so in no way can even contemplate how to avoid such issues.

Plus the game has been getting great praise, why would you latch on to one article and base everything off it?

KevWriter2790d ago

I think there's a little trolling involved.

Bennibop2790d ago

You are not full of it what so ever.

Latch on to an unknown site giving the game a poor review to fulfill your agenda. Totally ignore the reviews saying that it's a masterpiece or even the ones giving it 7-8s saying it's fantastic but flawed.

I feel very sorry for you if this is how you feel you need to spend your time.

Masterchief_thegoat2790d ago

If it had a better control, this game would have 9.5 or higher.. still tlg is a hit...

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 3h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 4h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 3h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing8h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken17h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper16h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 6h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 6h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 5h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 5h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 4h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
