Toodles.

Maybe I'll hook it up to my TV tuner and make a speed run.  It's gonnna be boring as hell to watch since Joel runs so damn slow.


If you prove that you can brute force your way on the hardest difficulty without challenge. I promise you I will transfer 1 thousand dollars to any account you want me to.

I don't really get the need for twists, why is the lack or predictability of twists a bad thing?  Being tired of "zombies" makes sense, but I'd argue that it depends how much exposure one has had to zombies.  I personally don't think it is that big of a complaint.  I haven't had any of your AI or stealth problems.  

I think there isn't a need for a remake, but I think it could be good to have.  Not everyone has a PS3, so allowing everyone who has a PS4 to buy the game allows more people to play it.  And some people had some complaints with the game originally.  It's still 720p30.  Maybe the remake is 1080p60, which will be a lot nicer personally.  


Should have just made backwards compatibility.  Just an excuse to milk their products if you ask me.  

I think it's impossible to not be overly exposed to zombies in western culture.  And people tell me when it comes to TLOU "It's nothing like the walking dead." when I'm sure it was ripped in some areas.

f l a m e b a i t

Last Gen was dominated by shooter, yet Titan Fall is dominating the charts on 360 and X1, Mario is like 30+ years old, I could go on...

Instead of just making derogatory comments why don't you actually explain your comments.

Why in the world would the ps4 come with backwards compatabity, that makes zero sense.

Why is walking dead similar to TLOU, they take place in a zombie world, that's ittttt.

Why is it a genric shooter? Because it has guns...

The writing is terrible, how bout an example of some good video game writing to compare it too?

Maybe if you had some valid points in your opinion instead of just venting because you're angry, maybe you would be a bit more credible.

Ain't no one talking about Mario, but at least Mario is still a game not a a sixty dollar movie.  + Tax.

I gave my reasons in the thread.  It would do you well to read it first if you have questions.

TitanFall looks awesome, but XBOXONE isn't something I'd ever get, nor the PS4.   Maybe the PC version will be discounted on steam or something.

Universally acclaimed game by fans and critics alike, a huge commercial success, the standard bearer for story driven games and as you say, a hugely overrated game (most likely since I've never played it). Unfortunately, stuff like The Last of Us is where the industry is headed, meaning developers and consumers alike are moving towards a presentation over content model where things that look flashy are commercially and critically praised.

Stuff like this game is accepted and even embraced by the community because it is being compared to other useless drivel that is even worse. The standards in video game designs are currently incredibly low and have been almost completely replaced by "OMG!! 60 fps!!!". It's a shame, but there will hopefully always be the indy market for real games.

TL;DR: The Last Of Us is like "Call me Maybe": High polish, easily consumable but devoid of much depth outside of the presentation.

This tired money milking conspiracy again. When in fact everyone was asking for a ps4 version before the game or PS4 ever came out. They gave people what they wanted and as a result people are happy. This is one of the best games of all time, so you’re in the extreme minority here. It’s funny because you have complaints but don’t give any real examples. I'd like to know what you feel is a better game, I have a feeling you'd be in the minority there too. 

Bioshock Infinite, Mario Galaxy 2, Uncharted 2, RE-4, Xenogears, ect.  You know games with originality?  And more that just story and pretty visual.  Don't get me wrong, I don't think TLOU was a bad game.  I though it was good and enjoyable especially since the story was so corny, but I just don't see how people rave about something so similar to some many other games.  Hell even the new Tomb Raider

What stupid lines did Ellie say though?

The line in the music store and do you remember the one about the animals? 

Nope, it's been awhile.  What did she say? In spoilers of course.  

In the music store she says "Man this is Kind of Sad"

Joel - "What is?"

Ellie - "All this music that's just sitting here. No ones around to listen to it"

Thats a dumb line, according to the OP. I just don't even know what to say.

If you read my post, you'd know I said it felt rehashed from RE.  It just didn't add anything to the experience and enemies were always attacking anyway so it really didn't matter.


If want to go that way, everything is somekind of a ''rehash'' from some previous game. So, this point is invalid!


No, it's not.  If something rehashes something, and then does it badly, I think thats a valid concern for a critique.

So you're saying that TLoU is bad rehash of Res. Evil 4.  *mindblown*

You shouldn't be comparing both games in the first place  ~


I see no reason to not compare games in the same genre.  Espeically when they're so much alike and the progeniator does it so much better.

You openly admit that you haven't played it...
