Wauw... that's all i can say. Looks like ND pulled off another masterpiece, i guess this now makes them number one for the titles of best developer off this generation.

It also confirms when i said i do not wanting them to focus on a Uncharted 4, there is just so much potential there enough for multiple AAA+ ip's.

With multiple teams, they can now focus on Uncharted 4 and something else. Two birds, one stone.

I hope you're right. I did just read this on Gamespot though:

''but The Last of Us refuses to punish failure in a manner befitting the harshness of its world. Become overwhelmed and you quickly perish, but with checkpoints only a few seconds apart, the danger of expiring never dissuades you from recklessness. ''

Does that mean that the game is to easy? Because that would be kind of a dealbreaker for me.

Ok then you are entitled to your opinion and people shouldn't be giving you hell for it. 


Wow VGKing, you've become a very neutral poster now with some very insightful comments. Good job! :) 

Actually I'm not neutral. Not even close. Just no point in arguing with someone. There's nothing you can do to change their mind. Might as well you leave them be and hope they go away lol



Aldro you are failing this game by not updating the OP



Intel Core i7 3770K [3.5GHz]|MSI Big Bang Z77 Mpower|Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866 2 x 4GB|MSI GeForce GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr 2|OCZ Vertex 4 128GB|Corsair HX750|Cooler Master CM 690II Advanced|

Only a couple more perfect scores and it climbs back to 96 I believe.

I can tell because metacritic considers decimals when it ranks games and it's the highest game at 95.

@Bold have you played the demo?

No, the game is not easy by any means, at least when it comes to enemy encounters. You have to be prepared (shivs are priceless here) and plan. If you go rambo you will die if there are more than 3 enemies at once. 

But you should play on hard from the go. The survival aspect is much better there (scavenging, backpack space, ammo, etc.), and the AI is better.

As for the really quick loading times, and frequent checkpoints. It's pretty much comparable to the Uncharted here, which I find great personally, I actually hate when there are few checkpoints and when I die I have to replay the exact same sequence as before, it's a major turn-off for me. And the game seems to encourage and reward stealth attitude and planning anyway, so you don't have to be forced to play it safe just not to replay the checkpoint for 20 minutes,



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Hey, bananaking someone on neogaf has 3 copies of the game.

 


that devil!! today i went with my friend and looked for it. i found a place that will get it on the 12th almost for sure, i told him to hold a copy for me once he gets it and call ASAP

I'm so pissed I have to wait over a week till I get it.  I'm debating if my gamestop near me has a midnight release that I will go get it.  Have a couple friends who want it badly too so I might get them to go as well.



GOTY hands down from the sounds of the reviews.



GOTY almost confirmed

I hope they move one team to the Vita.

atleast you know when you will get it for sure. the stores on here are simply speculating when they will get it. i might have to wait a few days after launch to actually find it, then i have to agrue with the guy to buy it for 60 bucks instead of 70 because they always try to rip people off
