The Last Of Us - Ps3

[EeLeYe]

I'd say if they did a sequel, it'll be a spin-of with new characters and such.

I was quite satisfied with the ending. I don't think they could have ended the game any better than they did.

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

Finally pulled my finger out and bought it yesterday. About 3 hrs in so far and wow, its actually a f**king brilliant game!

[J K 12]

This game was awesome, finished it on normal and now playing on hard (with I had played on hard in the first place). The storyline, gameplay and graphics are perfect. It really does make every other game look bad. Some parts also scared the crap out of me (ie hotel basement at 2am).

[JediKnightBoB]

So what's everyone's thoughts on a sequel? (obviously without giving the ending away)

1. F#$k yeah, they have to do another

2. Nahhh, it was all wrapped up.

The story was wrapped up, but the world has a lot left in it to write more stories about.

Played it on hard, as I do all games, because I'm not one to go back and play a game again.

Fantastic game, to date it's my fav PS3 game ever. (I've since bought the Mass Effect Trilogy as a mate said it was the goods after you got past number 1)

I'd also played the uncharted series so I knew what to expect from Naughty Dog and this surpassed my expectations.

I was quite happy with the ending (no spoilers here), and I could see a sequel and would happily play it. It would also make an exceptional stand alone movie.

I can't say more than that without giving "some" things away and given how hard I had to work to avoid spoilers so the experience wasn't ruined, I won't risk doing that to anyone else.

I should add, I would recommend paying it on hard as it ups the ante in terms of the stealth and survival instinct needed which this game thrives on.

I can't remember the exact stats but at the end of the game I had something like 80% accuracy and an absolute heap of head shots, and I'm from a PC gaming background and struggle with shooting on a console, so that just goes to show how careful you will be when every shot counts, I can easily see better players having over 90% accuracy and mjority of kills being head shots or melee/strangle deaths.

I finished this game about 3 times now.

First on Normal, then played Easy just to quickly level up my abilities and weapon specs.

All leveled up and Joel and Ellie kick ass!

[No Crust Racing]

Also, Giraffe's

Just saying....

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

LOL!

Yeah they were random.

[No Crust Racing]

Powerful scene though.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Didn't quite get the connection with the giraffes...

I assume, it's a sign of hope, that there is still life...

A "father / daughter" moment with Joel and Ellie...

[No Crust Racing]

Father daughter yes, plus it was one of the things they talked about doing after the trip I think, going to the Zoo.

Joel says so is it everything you thought it would be or something to that effect.

I think the story grabbed me for a few reasons.

I have a slight fear of situations like that, outbreak, societal break down and how I'd survive, protect my family etc. Plus I'm a new father (4mths) so the daughter card grabbed me.

Intentional casting really, as the saying daddies girl and mummies boy exist for a reason in terms of the bonds parents have across the genders.

One of the concepts of the game was that life still goes on (unless there's a nuclear holocaust or similar) even after humans are no longer a dominant species.

The developers did a lot of research in the area of, "what if people ceased to exist?" and found that the amount of maintenance we do on a daily basis holds back most of the wilderness from coming back.

A good way to look at it is to imagine not mowing your lawn or cleaning out those spider webs around the house for 20 years.

GROUNDED is the making-of feature where they delve a bit more into the research undertaken. If you're a fan of the game, I highly recommend to watch it.

[No Crust Racing]

Can't go back to that universe now, I've moved on to Mass Effect and need to stay focused, so much shit to remember 0_0

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Father daughter yes, plus it was one of the things they talked about doing after the trip I think, going to the Zoo.

Joel says so is it everything you thought it would be or something to that effect.

Ah yeah I remember something like that.

I think the story grabbed me for a few reasons.

I see...

Well yeah, since you're a father now, your mind set with take into account of these things.

Just shows how powerful this games is to trigger that emotion, of what you thought at the time, when it took place in the game.

[Artic Choc]

such a great game.. mind you its mostly enjoyable playing on hard or survivor ( ng+) probs the best buy (game wise) in a long long time!

having probably the most indepth feeling that draws you to the charactors some thing i find we dont see much in games anymore, not to mention the lack of amunation laying around makes it for a very thrilling game were i found myself sneaking pass alot of fights

[AGE]

I did enjoy the little sub stories through the game too, like all of ISH's notes and what he did in the sewers.
