at ethomaz: Finally some true words. I really cant understand how some guys are so blinded that they couldnt see what outstanding is coming with The Last of Us.


I really can't understant why they try to prove that our enthusiasm is misplaced, and what they're trying to gain from it.

Nothing special at all imo, I don't understand how people can be excited for this game, it's just another post-apocalyptic game with nothing but dilapidated buildings & cars for environments, no meritable artistic style, it'll lack good gamesplay just like Uncharted and it's just dull, no imagination went into making this game.

Just like the Uncharted series, this game will be forgotten about in a few years when next gen consoles come along because games that focus purely on visuals always become outdated A LOT quicker as newer games with much better visuals will come out and become the new centre of attention for graphic whores, it's games with great gameplay that will be remembered and celebrated for many years to come as they won't become outdated nearly as quick. Naughty Dog hasn't made any games with great gameplay since Jak & Daxter, hopefully they'll create something creative, magical, non-shooter, imaginative, fun and ORIGINAL next generation, I doubt it though.


I think exactly the same as you. Naught Dog focusing way to much on the graphics and the gameplay part of their last games is boring. The Jak & Daxter Games was their last really good Games. The Uncharted Games was a boring graphics Demos with only scripted gameplay and boring worse executed shooting parts. 

I really hope that The last of us is better than this Uncharted Shit.

Hey, I was a little harsh on the game at first, but that discussion is over. Now I'm calmly discussing the possible content in the game with others. I don't see anyone bashing the game really badly anymore.

People talking shit about the game are nitpicking. Sure some textures are blurry, sure maybe some ai is wonky, etc etc. There are a lot of really GREAT features about this game. It's nitpicking, for whatever reason.

This game will do like 5-7m lifetime, and if you still wonder why people like it so much, just remember that I told you it's because you're nitpicking, and the buyers are not.

5-7m? Way too high.

Huh? The same guys who make uncharted make a game that everyone says blows their mind ISN'T going to sell as much as uncharted?

Maybe, maybe not. Some thought early guesstimates for Uncharted 2 & 3 hitting 5-6 million were too high as well. There's just no way to know right now, especially since it's a new IP, but given the buzz and what Naughty Dog's titles have done this gen, I'd say it's a reasonable guess.

It's a new IP and it's releasing in the last year (or second-to-last) as the PS3's life as the latest Playstation console. 5m is a high estimate. No way it goes over that.

The only IPs that sold 5m on the PS3 are Call of Duty games, GTA4, GT5, Fifa 12, BF3, UC2, MGS4, amd AC2. None of these games were new IPs. And most of them had some multiplayer component and/or had long single-player modes. Probably the only games that don't follow these rules are MGS4 and AC2. (I'm being generous by including MGS4). 

It took a lot of those games many years to reach 5m. TLoU won't have many years to sell.  Also, TLoU doesn't look like its going to be a long single player game and its multiplayer hasn't been confirmed yet. 

It's probably going to do (at best) like other top-tier single-player games and do around 4-5m. (Like Assassin's Creed, God of War 3, etc.) And I'm being very generous with that number since TLoU is going to have a lot less time to sell. 6 & 7m is not realistic at all.
