Rating.


I rated this 10/10. I want to take it back.

I want to give it more. 10/10 is an injustice.

Best. Game. Ever.

And will not be surpassed in my life time.

I thought Metal Gear Solid 4 was the best game I had ever played. Until I played The Last Of Us that is. This game is just pure excellence and a work of art. Easily the best game ever with MGS4 a very close second.

It's an experience. I really believe that.

Now I'm just waiting for April to see what Druckmann has done with Uncharted 4. It looks pretty amazing.

Uncharted 2 is still NDs definitive masterpiece to me, this game is still brilliant

OK, I can understand that you have an opinion, but I feel like certain flaws go unnoticed by fans of the game.

Everyone can have their opinion, but this is what I see about the game:

The AI sucks. Characters are so dumb. You literally could be in the middle of a fire fight and just chuck a brick at someone. Then all the enemies forget that you're there and run over to the brick. Yeah, that's really a good game.

As for the rest of the gameplay, well, considering this is from the people who made the Uncharted series, it was boring. The stealth sections were plagued with bad path-findings and boring moments. And the puzzles, don't even get me started.

The story is nothing special. It's your generic soppy-soppy tale about two people with no family in a zombie apocalypse...wait, haven't I heard this kind of thing before? Oh yeah, I have. Nearly every single piece of media involving zombies has this story.

In my opinion, this game isn't sad. It's annoying. The amount of death and supposedly 'heartbreaking' scenes ruin it for me. It's trying to hard. I've played games where I've become sad before, and I didn't in this.

I don't really like this game that much.

Want good AI? I suppose bugs are common, but I've encountered better AI in Call of Duty.

Want good gameplay? Third person shooter? Uncharted for a start. Stealth, third person shooter? Metal Gear Solid games. (The original Metal Gear, Ac!d and Rising aren't really stealth third-person). Puzzles, go for any puzzle game. Portal 1 and 2 are brilliant.

Story? Bioshock series has a brilliant story.

Sad games, there's a lot. But of course there's spoiler, so I won't mention any of them here.

What about games like The Witcher 3, with other 200 hours of content (excluding DLC). Surely they're better? Well, they are.

Personally, I just don't really like the game.

But I suppose, each to their own, different folks different strokes, etc.

Let me guess, you wanna know so that you can so to me 'Go back to Mario/Sonic/COD' when A) I don't like any of those series and B) that's a stupid thing to do just because someone dislikes a game.

HATE is a strong word Jimmy.

Perhaps if you grow up a bit and respect other folk's opinions you wouldn't be as bitter and wound up as you clearly are.

OK.

I'll edit my original post to make me seem less salty.

If they already know your whereabouts, no, they don't forget you and go for the brick. If they don't know where you are and they hear a noise, then of course they check it out.

As for the rest of the gameplay, well, considering this is from the people who made the Uncharted series, it was boring. The stealth sections were plagued with bad path-findings and boring moments. And the puzzles, don't even get me started.


I disagree about the stealth moments. I found myself challenged and engaged, especially considering the fact that enemies always moved differently upon each play through. As for puzzles, this is not a puzzle game. I'm not sure what you were expecting. I don't consider this game to have any.

The story is nothing special. It's your generic soppy-soppy tale about two people with no family in a zombie apocalypse...wait, haven't I heard this kind of thing before? Oh yeah, I have. Nearly every single piece of media involving zombies has this story.

Personal preference. This simply isn't the game or story for you.

Want good gameplay? Third person shooter? Uncharted for a start. Stealth, third person shooter? Metal Gear Solid games. (The original Metal Gear, Ac!d and Rising aren't really stealth third-person). Puzzles, go for any puzzle game. Portal 1 and 2 are brilliant.


All of these are great games, undoubtedly, but you're failing to grasp the fact that they're not the same type of game that TLOU is trying to be. It's not an action film turned into a game with a wise-cracking, modern day Indiana Jones as its lead. It's not a stealth shooter with an experienced commander taking on top secret espionage missions. And it is definitely not a puzzle game about a human trying to escape the weird experiments of a computer named GlaDos.

Story? Bioshock series has a brilliant story.


Sure. So does this.

What about games like The Witcher 3, with other 200 hours of content (excluding DLC). Surely they're better? Well, they are.


Again, you're comparing an open-world sandbox RPG to this. That's comparing apples to oranges. This is one linear story that you follow from beginning to end without sidequests and distractions, decisions and multiple endings. Big games can absolutely be great, but they aren't necessarily great because they are big. Some of them suffer because of their size and lack of focus. (No, I am not saying that The Witcher 3 is one of them.)

For the record, I'm not saying this is a perfect game, but it is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. There really isn't much wrong with it.

Agreed. The world created within TLOU is second to none. I would like to see more games set in this world. Whatever form a new TLOU-world game may take I hope it does the first game justice.
