"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

I agree as well, game of the generation. The gameplay was close to perfect to me and a step up from Uncharted. The graphics were very well done. And the story and characters were great. Took me awhile to accept the ending though.

Only good game to feature Colorado so it wins by default.



Loved it but there's a few games I loved even more. Definitely one of the very best games last generation.



There's a handful of games that I enjoyed far more than The Last of Us, but it's certainly up there. Easily in the top 10.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

no it's not a genisis game silly



It's probably just me, but I don't understand how so many people so thoroughly enjoyed the Last of Us' story. The beginning and the ending were both top notch, no argument there. The rest of the game inbetween though was kind of a drag, in my opinion, though.

Maybe I'm just playing too many video games now, but I pretty much called every significant plot point happening (outside of the ending sequence) a good 15 or so minutes before it did. The deaths of Tess and Henry/Sam, and how they died, were horribly predictable. I figured out how they were going to die as soon as Tess went off screen with Ellie and when Joel got separated from Henry/Sam/Ellie in that sniper shootout scene.

The gameplay was good but not anything outstanding; my only major complaint is how Joel can be outside of a certain "environment," or room, that houses enemies and not hear a thing, but as soon as he steps into said room, the enemies will instantly become hear-able. Graphics were certainly beautiful, music wasn't all that memorable, but the sound effects were top notch.

In the end, it was good survival gameplay, a story that really excelled at two points but was fairly predictable and kind of uninteresting inbetween, good character design and development for Joel and Ellie, so overall, a good game. I certainly enjoyed Last of Us...I just feel that it's incredibly overrated considering how many people are declaring it game of the year, or even game of the generation.
