Well, whatever you like; you are of course entitled to your own opinion...so it's okay. But I don't see the point why you had the feeling to open a new thread.

Still, I will put in my two cents to this: Soundtrack was actually the one and only piece of music I remember from a game in the last couple of years. You always hear almost the same music especially in AAA games nowadays. And The Last of Us' music was contrary to that finally a breath of fresh air with unusual and interesting sounds. Not too loud, just playing in the background without being obtrusive...as it should be.

Talking about gameplay without mentioning the melee combat system?! :-O I mean...the countless(!) ways of beating somebody down is staggering for a 3rd person/adventure game. I for myself have yet to see such an extensive melee combat system in a non-fighting/beat 'em up game. Furthermore, the shooting mechanics were finally made believable. e.g. the impact caused by a bullet on all characters including the player's character is terrific.

I don't really know what to say regarding the story. But yeah, everybody has its own taste. I have to say that I waited many years for such a story. FINALLY we saw the potential of video games and got a mature, touching, intelligent and though-provoking story with believable, human-like characters.

These were just some of the many great things in The Last of Us that I personally haven't seen in other games.
