It's too early to make a call on where TLoU will ultimately stand in the annals of video games. In my opinion there is the potential that it could become one of the handful of games that are recognised as milestones in gaming history. Like many reviewers, for me, The Last of Us was a mature story for a mature audience. It is a game that both dispels any lingering illusions that gaming 'is for kids', and makes the case for games as a serious rival to the movie industry as a means to tell compelling stories.

Hopefully the critical and commercial success it has seen will encourage more developers to create many more compelling games with sophisticated storytelling, and encourage those with stories to tell that games are a viable medium to tell stories that matter. What a legacy that would be.

Haters gonna hate

clocked honey, and I will personally clock the fuck out of anyone that says gaga has no talnet, if you watch that video and say she has no talent, might as well say every musician you listen to is a talentless hack

Too much hard pressed gaming stans in here. TLOU snatched critic weaves. Get over it and follow suit.

Cackling at those e-wounds, tbh.

not bad but freddie is a million times better

A fantastic game and a game that invested me in the characters as well as any I have played.

Would I consider The Last of Us a quality game? I would.

Do I think it's deserving of GoTY? Yes.

Is it overrated and overhyped? At this point, absolutely.

How is it overhyped (at this point) when you agree it deserves GOTY? a game getting numerous GOTY awards is more indicating to the year's poor quality than the game's quality itself. It's wrong to assume this means its the best game ever.

Well this is when my own personal bias comes in... TLOU is not my personal GOTY, though I can respect it as such due to its narrative. I find it overrated from the prospective of putting it as GoTG, which I have heard quite a lot. Though I attribute this somewhat due to the hype that surrounds the game currently, which is why I said it's overhyped.

queen wanted lady gaga to be the new lead singer, and she declined, but that says a lot.. in itself.. and gaga is SUPER SUPER underrated just because she is a pop star

what do you expect paul rodgers is horrible he just missed the pure power in his voice, i bet they love to replace him and gaga does have the voice
