Forums - Sony - The Last Of Us really does deserve the praise...

Similarly to Bioshock Infinite, heard that the story was good, but the combat/gameplay is a little lacking.

Still worth it for the story alone if I kinda got spoiled?

I just want to say that "The Last Of Us" deserves every 10/10 it is getting.  

One reviewer said This is the Citizen Kane moment of Gaming," and I couldn't sum it up better than that.  "Citizen Kane was the first movie to do story telling and character development so well that it was no longer a gimic to back up "The wonder of Movies!"  

The same goes for TLOU.  It simply is story telling at a level NEVER seen before in gaming, with such unique survival gameplay that anyone who doesn't play this is seriously missing out on not only one of the best games ever made, but the best Survival-Horror story I have ever experienced (Yes it's story and characters beat all movies about similar subjects).  

Bioshock Infinite deserves a 9/10, TLOU deserves a 10/10.  I will beat it tonight, and I can't wait!

 

NOTE: That is not to say I didn't find the gameplay equally as amazing, but seriously the directing stands out above all other games. 

We get it, this is like the 15th thread today that is basically just a last of us circlejerk. It's a good game, but the hyperbole surrounding it is just stunning.

 

Also "unique survival gameplay" lol.

When almost half of the proffessional reviewers gave this game a 10/10 can you really call the love for this game hyperbole? It's not like just random casual gamers that like this game- it's that good.

all these people saying the gameplay isnt good i would like just one of them explaining why. the only problems i had where with the AI and one of them was a design choices after all (AI not reacting to ellie) and for those saying this feels like uncharted LOOOL yeah, right!

I think the gameplay is excellent and I'd totally recommend it for the gameplay alone. Also you might not have actually gotten spoiled, a lot of spoilers people were putting out on the internet were fake.

Oh yeah!  Don't get me wrong Bioshock Infinite was great, but this is better!  AND it's multiplayer is incredibly fun to play (BUT YOU NEED A TEAM THAAT WORKS TOGETHOR).

That's a good point, I only hear that the gameplay is lacking, or is bad, but I have never seen a legit reason put to it, except as you said AI (mostly companions'), enemies sometimes don't react quick enough, maybe their radius will be bigger on survival difficulty, if you count that as gameplay.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I thought the gameplay was fantastic, which honestly was the biggest surprise for me about the game.

I feel like the problems with the enemy AI is only on easy difficulty. Companion AI on the other hand is lacking sometimes, but only in the sense that, in rare instances, it ruins immersion; as in, I'll be trying to sneak around a group of clickers and a AI companion just runs in front of them, loud as hell, telling me to keep quiet. For whatever reason, the clickers don't respond to them- which isn't horrible because it makes it so the AI never breaks the game or make it any more difficult on you.

They said this was intentional

 

For me, AI partner did that only once on my hard 18h30m playtime on hard
