Ohh fuck readin this OP pisses so much off. The game is not almost perfect. It has flaws, quite a few actually.

The gameplay is OK but nothing special, it suffers for occasional techinical issues because they where to ambotious and the PS3 couldn´t handle it all that well sometimes. And there where some other issues.

If you are a gamer who puts gameplay beyond everything else then you will not enjoy The Last of Us

I loved it because those things didn´t bother me all that much, and I fucking loved the characters.

what are you talking about?  It's made for gameplay people.  It shows that cinema doesn't have to be sacrificed for gameplay or vice versa.  Have you played on survivor?  It's so tense trying to remain undetected knowing that an enemy could walk in on you strangling his teammate and it's over.  You have to find supplies just to make a health pack which takes like 10 seconds to actually use, so basically you're screwed if you have to heal in the middle of battle.  Finally you're always running out of the good stuff so you're caught in a crazy situation with no ammo or molotovs or supplies to make stuff and you have to make it through 10 hunters with 2 9mm rounds.  This game IS survival.  I've never seen gameplay so perfectly compliment the theme of the story.  Every fight feels like a struggle and you know you have to conserve because you'll screw yourself over if you use more than 10 bullets in a fight or something.  I restarted after winning sometimes just cause I used too much.

To be honest I like shooters a lot, clean headshot, nice kill, move on ... but games like gears of war, left 4 dead, last of us are brute, gore, sad, horrifying.
Yes we're all used to play games in which survival, horror and dead is imminent, from that point of view it's a 9 maybe 10 out of 10.
But from a point of view that the industry seems not to be capable of making adult games without such a degree of violence a success (no I don't wanna play Mario, Nintendo crap) its a 0 - 3 out of 10.
As I mentioned before I like games with violence a lot but after all those years fighting virtual wars ,even in viva piñata, those piñatas got killed, I found out I haven't played any game beside Fifa or Forza in which nobody got killed or harmed.
C'mon industry give it a try. A triple A title without violence for an adult Audience.



Joel is a bitch and the ending is unrealistic, there's no way he could have killed that many people to get to one girl. In reality he would have been stopped.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball

Tripel A: You'll see a lot more A's than three in this game (if you catch my drift). CHECK

Without Violence: CHECK

For an adult audience: Well, I don't think most people would let their children play this game. CHECK

Good thing games aren't real. We play games to escape reality.

The game really is not perfect. One of my favorite games but it does have flaws including your partners are practically invisible to the enemies. There is also glitches in the game that will force you to restart to the last checkpoint and much of the story is predictable. The multiplayer is meh so im not going to talk about that but my point is it isnt perfect. Yes it is one of the best games I have played personally but it has flaws like any other game.




       

Oh, another one: Far too many conveniantly placed bricks. By the end of the game I'm pretty sure one would have been able to build a house out of them.



Sometimes the Ellis and the other friendly AI characters would go undetectable to the enemies. The game never explained how they got these powers.

I wish the multiplayer had more modes (Escort modes, steal the enemy's food, defend your own food, VIP, ect), and bigger maps. Less cover would by nice too, but I guess that's the norm for 3rd person shooters these days.

The reason your companions are invisibile to enemies is because when you are in stealth, Naughty Dog didn't want your AI companions to reveal your position. They made it so that if you are undetected by the enemy, your companion is also even if they are literally right in front of them or bump into them. It would be EXTREMELY annoying to have your position revealed even when it wasn't your fault. Also @bold, I never experienced this and I've played the game three times. I did have that glitch in the beginning where it didn't save though =/. Lost like 3 hours progress.

Developer decision. Read my comment on top of this one.
