THANK YOU FUCKING NAUGHTY DOG. SILVIA 180SX GTR, THANK YOU!

I'm just battled my way through what has to be one of the greatest games ever. Surreal graphic, intense story, deep fucking character development, and the perfect blend of puzzles, action and cut scenes.

It was challenging but not frustrating and the finished product was extremely well polished. No clipping, no crashing, no stupid bugs.

The story is intense, it makes you want to just keep going... and unlike those fuck faces at 2K Games and Bioware who can't figure the fuck out how to end a god damn game....

Holly RB26 the ending for "The Last of Us" was fucking amazing. It was perfect. I'm seriously writing them a letter thanking them for not fucking everything up.

Most satisfying game ever.

Book of Ely, The Road, Mad Max, Contagion, The Walking Dead, 28 Days Latter, MD Giest, and Children of Men all rolled into one epic saga.

I'm pretty sure we already had a thread about this. Actually, we were talking about it too in the PS4 thread. Finished this game last week and definitely one of the best game I've played. Definitely a must have for any console, not just the PS3.

Searched, nothing came up. This game deserves it's own thread and not a sidebar in another one.

Last game that got me this pumped was Red Dead Redemption, and that was only because it seemingly would never end.

Game featured music by Gustavo Santaolalla, which totally rocked.

supersayianjim

so this was better than the walking dead game(minus that damn pointer).

Been following the walkthroughs on YouTube. Pretty epic so far.

It's completely warranted.

Agreed. I thought about making a thread a while back but I already brought it up in the PS4 thread and then we were all just talking about it in there. But it should have it's own thread considering this is, IMO, possibly the best game ever made.

THIS game is a reason to buy a PS3.

I honestly can't praise this game enough. i love the mixture of humans vs infected too as far as game play. Just when you may start getting fatigued fighting the infected the story takes you in another direction and you're at the edge of your seat again. That's good direction right there.

I'm only half way though even though I got it on the first day. I only get a couple hours a week to play it though. I had a really hard time the first time you come across the group of infected. Took me forever to figure it out, but then i got the hang of it. Patience is really your friend in this game, but in a way that doesn't frustrate the hell out of you.

I'd give this game a 27 out of 10.

I'm playing through it right now (NO SPOILERS!)

I can't even begin to imagine how good Naughty Dog games will look on PS4.

Looks pretty badass...I think I need to pick up a copy.

Geezus... That is some high praise right there. Thanks for the post.

Corbic

It's that good. Go rent it. You can knock it out in 12-14 hours on normal if you are a "good" gamer. Extremely satisfying. I'm still reeling from it. I may have to buy it and try out multiplayer.

^^

Here ya go...



I'm currently playing with the Pulse headphones, and I have to say that the sound effects, and musical score is incredible!

a fuzzychnchila

One of the best games ive ever played! Voice acting, graphics, game play, sound track, character development all top notch... Multiplayer can be fun if you and your team mates communicate >_<

theronin

From reading all you guys rave about this game in two threads I'm trying to pick up a ps3 and play this game. I been watching it since it was announced with much anticipation.

I was watching a video made by Naughty Dog and they believe in great story telling before anything else. You can make a game look like you're watching a movie but without a great story, its just a mediocare game. They've been doing this since Uncharted, Uncharted 2 has a great story and that game was fucking epic. Uncharted 3 was great too but the story wasnt as great as 2 and not as long game play wise. If you have not played Uncharted, you should jump on 2 and 3.

Oh yah, I fucking hated this stage...since its your first run in with a group of runners and a clicker.

She's a keeper. I too would murder and torture countless badies to keep her safe.

Cheesy Doriftos

imo top 10 one of best game i've ever played and best video game of this generation.

everything is outstanding.

the feeling of going through someones deserted home and seeing bits and pieces of their life before the infection like family photos or a baby's room is eerie and a feeling i have yet to have in a video game.

the human enemy ai is outstanding (never has a game made a room with only 2 or 3 enemies SO intense lol). the sound design is amazing. the random conversations between ellie and joel are well done and to see their relationship grow throughout the entire game was just brilliant. the game definitely deserves the hype.

Anything similar to this for PC?

KiLLeR2001

IMO the human AI is lacking. If they see Ellie or any of the other NPC's it doesn't trigger their awareness. So many times I've seen Ellie run in front of an enemy and nothing happens. And once they do become aware sometimes they just stand there... If you stealth choke out one of their friend's and the dead body is laying right there, they will continue to patrol the area like seeing their dead friend isn't a warning sign.

Well, the producer actually talked about it. They tried it both ways, having the AI trigger fights when seen, he said it took too much out of the game and the testers got annoyed with it. They tried to make it less intrusive but they couldnt quite get it right. So they cheated and just made the NPC invisible to the enemy AI. I think they should have given the player the option. If it got annoying, then turn it off during game play.

Trailer looks better than half the movies coming out this year.

KiLLeR2001

Yeah, I understand the game play aspect of it. Honestly, they should have set it based on which difficulty you choose. For example, on the EASY setting, NPC's are ALWAYS invisible to the enemy AI. On the NORMAL setting, NPC's trigger enemy's awareness 50% of the time, and on the HARD setting, NPC's trigger the enemy's awareness 100% of the time. Something to that effect.

For me it takes away from the experience because it feels so real, and then I see Ellie run across 5 different hunters and Joel is choking out dudes when the other dudes are 5 feet away, kinda brings me back to reality and makes me realize I'm just watching a video game.

I didn't get a chance to try myself but I recall someone mentioning that this is corrected on higher difficulties. They become more "sensitive".

I was also pleased that Ellie didn't set them of as that would have moved the game from "enjoyably challenging" to "annoyingly frustrating".

Just like how the game could have more been "real" had the enemy been able to shoot Ellie.


Joel: *about to stealh shiv hunter*

Hunter: a damn girl! *head shot*

PS3: Reload

Joel: *about to choke hunter*

Hunter: a damn girl! *head shot*

Player: Breaks Disc.

The AI are also great because they do respond to you. If you are fist fighting hunters, they get bold and surround you. If you are shooting them, they duck for cover. If you try to bunker down they try and flush you out and flank you.

Corbic

Also, unlike Bioshock, GOW, ME, or even COD...

The amount of satisfaction from killing the sick fucks in that game is unreal.

You cant tell me after some of the shit they did to Joel, Ellie and other NPCs, it didn't fulfill a sense of primal vengeance to bash their heads in with a machete or execute their pathetic pleading sorry asses.

20thbryce

I spent 2 days playing non stop and beat it, made the girlfriend Bring me food and watch. Best game I've played so far... Awesome story line and never ending surprises ;p

AFSil80

See, this is exactly why I hate games nowadays. 2 days nonstop? That's all? Shit man, it took me while to beat Tokyo Xtreme Racer: ZERO and that was with GameFAQ's telling me how to beat all the wanderers. What the hell ever happened to epic-long games that don't rely on multiplayer and DLC?!

didn't want to read this thread as I am still playing and don't want spoilers lol

For me, the beginning was slow, but it starts to get better. A proper zombie game imo.

At first, i thought the graphics where bad, but that is only because i tend to play mostly pc games which have better specs than ps3, but i got used to the graphics and it doesn't bother me that much, no fault to the game, ps3 is just aging.
