The game is not interesting, there I said it. I have no idea why people love this game as I tried it and was like yep Uncharted with Zombies and all the sudden it is great? Please I know it is a well made game and one that people will love but the game is everything wrong with gaming. Like you said it is a great well made game and I take nothing away but man, have we not run this Trope into the ground yet.
Again a game this is well liked by basic gamers and gets "Amazing" reviews is also a blight where FF15 rated no where near TLoU and it is a better game in my opinion. So it goes to show that people like what they like and will not care less about it. If you know the gaming community it sucks hard D. This is why I love it here, yet mostly are mainstream gamers no one puts me down for what I like or play.
That said go back and try it again and love it or hate it... It is your choice! No really I might try it again in a few years but I do not like those types of games and they are always over rated making you think you getting the best game ever. Just play the game for yourself and make your own opinion.... By the FF15 is awesome
