For me personally it was the best game of last gen :p On the basis of just the campaign i'd have ranked it third behind Steins;Gate and Portal 2, but to my surprise the MP ended up being incredibly fun. Turned what would otherwise have been 30 - 40 hours of SP shenanigans (additional completionist run included), into a 100+ hours of play.

KL dont be so rude.

What part Kyle? Reading it back does seem off beat. I have been talking Italian all day because some older fam that was visiting refuse to speak English to me when we are together. It f#cks up my English skills for the next few hours at least. :(

Enemy AI gets incredibly strange when you have an AI parter. I've had situations where my AI partner would walk into the enemy and push them aside and they wouldn't even notice. While it would be incredibly annoying if your stupid AI could get you caught, I wish ND had found a more elegant solution.

I would more or less agree; it's a very well made and enjoyable game, but I wouldn't even call it the best game of 2013.

should i assume that you only watch action/comedies movies when you go to the theater, and know nothing about other genres?

Oh man, you are a bold man for making this thread, but props to you for your guts. ; )

I agree too. I played it to the end, and thought it was a solidly made game, but I thought it was alright. It`s well made with great settings and character models. The story is good too, but nothing new or too special. Certain parts were sad, but predictable, and I couldn`t find myself being too sad in the beginning. When you know they girl is not in the main game, it`s safe to assume she`ll meet a terrible fate. I guess it felt too forced for me. It does have some good interesting mechanics though. The gameplay is good too, but doesn`t feel new or revolutionary.

Good game, but I don`t think it`s the best. I actually preferred The Walking Dead Season 1 over The Last of Us.

I agree with the OP. Got the game when it came out for PS4 and have only played a couple hours. I do plan to finish it but to me it plays just like Resident Evil with another setting and story.

What are you on about? If a game is not fun to play, then everything else doesnt matter...

I think it does a great job at emulating a movie style story, but I think there have been plenty of other games which played to the strengths of video games to make something more impactful. Things like Papers Please, This War of Mine and Catherine all had more engaging story telling in my opinion.

Thats not true at all...games like Papers Please, This War of Mine, Dark Souls, Silent Hill etc aren't aiming to be fun, they are aiming to be engaging or moving. Fun is a very specific emotion and certainly not something all games or other media are aiming for. Its a very limited palate...if that is all you are aiming for, you lose virtually everything in the Horror/Drama/Thriller genres. This could be a discussion about the definition of fun though, so I want to make it clear that fun is not synonymous with enjoyment.

You really shouldn't assume anything. Those genres are by far my least favorite.

Horror is my favorite genre, actually. And you know what? I have a good time when I see those movies. Similarly, I have a good time when I play horror games (ZombiU, Resident Evil and Dead Space included). 

I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make. Should someone not enjoy themselves when watching/playing something that's thrilling and tense? Isn't the point of games to have fun, no matter what definition is applied to that word?
