This thread in a nutshell: everyone else's taste in video games sucks apart from my own, I am the last authority on video games and my word is law.

I understand anyone who didn't like the Mako in Mass Effect 1 or thought it was slower compared to 2. It really does show it JRPG side when you reach the Citadel and 2 improves on a lot of the gameplay. It didn't help that I played 2 first. I just personally have a preference towards the crew in the first game and the story over the second.

Dark Souls was clever. Never played The Last of Us (god I want to) but I haven't heard a single bad thing about this game since it came out, so no surprises here.
