The Last Of Us (PS3/PS4)

[Godbody]

this shit is crack b....i rarely enjoy video games anymore..its like i go through routine with them. for example.. if i play a basketball sim i know a new one is coming out next year so i buy it. i know i'll get a certain amount of enjoyment out of it but rarely will i really enjoy it. same goes for shooters like battlefield.

that changed with this game. havent enjoyed a game this much since Resident Evil 4. & its $50 for the remastered version on PS4

this should hold me over until Destiny drops next week

I just don't get it. I don't see what there is to like about Last of Us. I have NO reason to be like a faggot hipster about it. It won game of the year, and the previous game of the year was TWD and it's one of my favourite games for example.

But I've made it to the underground tunnels, after making it to the capital building, and literally have not enjoyed a single aspect of the game thus far. The dynamics are basically that of The Warriors on PS2. Throw bottles and bricks to evade enemies. Besides that, it's just tedious without anything else happening. I don't understand it.

I get that the story is supposed to be amazing later, but it's not like I just started. I'm a few hours into the game, and here's the story so far:-

Zombie apocalypse (Sorry, infection....).
Baby sitting a kid who has the vaccine.
Girl I haven't been around long enough to care about dies after being bit.
......That's it.

I even know how it ends. With the story being about the connection between a man and his somewhat adopted daughter, during times of a somewhat zombie apocalypse, plus being the two game of the year winners, I think it's highly comparable to The Waking Dead by Telltale. No one really says much about the gameplay of Last of Us, it's more so focused on the storyline. The gameplay of Last of Us obviously wins, but even in reading how it ends, and from what I've played so far, Lee and Clementine's relationship followed by it's climax and aftermath absolutely obliterates the relationship gained between 'Guy who seemingly doesnt age much' and 'Girl from Juno'.

I don't know. @Agonize was telling me to play it and that it was incredible for ages. I had NO reason not to love it because it hits all the categories I usually like. It's a stealth game, and MGS might be my favourite game of all time. It's set in a zombie apocalypse, and TWD is one of my favourite games of all time. But I just don't enjoy anything. You basically have the shiv and molotov, and that's the only things that seemed to be effective.

you dont appreciate TLoU? given the current landscape of the gaming industry & all the wack bullshit being released i thought you'd view TLOU as a gem

So the gameplay isnt the most innovative shit. so? the story is great. the attention to detail/graphics are nice. I actually feel like im playing out a movie...& its very rare to see a perfect marriage of cinematics + gameplay.... all the other games I play i usually breeze through and skip the cutscenes when the option is available. even though i can skip the movies in TLOU, i sit through them to understand backstories n w/e

& you get a lot more than the shiv...im probably around where you are in the game. maybe an hour further. the bow & arrow, shotty, spike bomb thing....the ability to craft and upgrade all your shit. upgrade your health, hearing, weapon sway...etc. there's a good amount of dynamics to keep me playin

& the story grabs my interest enough to keep coming back. i look forward to discovering new enemies, new dynamics like ladders/planks, and different weaponry to take out swarms of shit

The gaming industry is like at it's best ever stage?

I just don't get the appeal. The gameplay is...okay. Nothing memorable about it. I'm a few hours in with absolutely nothing in the story to keep me involved or interested. Maybe the story picks up, but I have to play through gameplay I just simply don't even want to do to get to it. It reminds me of Kane and Lynch 1 player, where every single mission was my least favourite mission.

I don't mind cutscenes in games and will watch most. I'm just not really seeing anything intriguing about Last of Us in that respect. I haven't given it a lot of time, but I kind of don't want to give it a lot of time.

Humans are easily killed thus far in the game anyways, and there's been no point at my stage on Normal difficulty for me to do anything other than make molotovs and shivs because everything else sucks as a weapon in comparison.

I played it when I bought it like 9 months ago. I played it again last month. Neither times got me in any way what so ever interested in ever playing it again.

The company brought me Crash Bandicoot, so I have no reason to be against it or anything. Uncharted was a fairly mediocre game for me but it had it's moments.

I dunno man. I wish I liked it cause some people love it, but I'm bored of every aspect of the game and don't see anything near to stop that from happening.

If you're looking for a story game, stick on Walking Dead by Telltale. It's graphics are "indy" I guess you could say, and for the most part it's fairly point and click (then again, wasn't Heavy Rain?), but the story imo is the most emotional of any game in history. I'm a beard rocking, beer drinking, UFC watching guy who thinks shaving your chest is admission of owning a vagina, but the ending of both seasons of TWD had my eyes close to watering.

if the Walking Dead is indie-like graphic wise and all it has going for it is the story, you're basically admitting to liking a watered down version of TLOU more than the TLOU. which doesn't make a lot of sense.

& Before you counter my watered down version remark, why did TLOU receive tons of acclaim and awards? Now THAT's a story mode. you seem to be a TWD fan so you're attaching yourself to the game based on preconceived notions of how shit'll play out or the emotional ties you created for characters in the TV show.

TLoU probably blows TWD out of the water, so much so that I haven't even heard of TWD video game until now. I'm usually not someone that believes the hype, but I've played enough of TLoU to be on board. & Judging from what you're saying about it I'm further than you. Trust me, it gets a lot more fun.

You'll be dying left and right too, so I hope you're up 4 a challenge

i'll check out TWD

The Walking Dead game was out a year before The Last of Us, and won more awards and acclaim with a fraction of the budget. You haven't heard of it because as you said, you weren't as big into gaming for a while. But The Walking Dead game smashed everyone in 2012 and is well known in the gaming community.

It's "indy" graphics are a result of Telltale being an indy company at the time of creating it. Since then, Walking Dead have signed deals to release a Borderlands games and the official Game of Thrones game, so their company was single handedly revolutionized by the TWD game.

I DID originally find TLAU really hard actually, but the second time I played it I found it a helluva lot easier. As I said maybe it does get gripping as a story, but I don't enjoy any of the gameplay and I need to play through loads to actually get to any 'gripping' part. I know the character is supposed to transform, but the protagonist just seems boring (Before he takes all the 'punishment') and she seems like an annoying bratty bitch.

I'm not 100% sure if TWD got MORE awards than TLOU, but basically TWD won Game of the Year 2012 unanimously and TLOU won 2013 unanimously.

When you take into account the budgets though, that's fairly insane.

I honestly wish I liked the game. Fighting with clickers is essentially just avoiding The Destroyers in Warriors though.
