Why The Last Of Us is the best game ever… - NAGF

John Simms from NAGF Writes "I was a few weeks late on the uptake but I have finally finished the Last Of Us. Like anyone else who has found themselves on the other side of Naughty Dog’s crowning achievement, I am locked in a state of catatonia. I cant believe that what is probably the most enjoyable gaming experience of all time has come to an end."

I loved The Last of Us and could barely put it down - but lets not kid ourselves here... It's not the greatest game ever. If you personally think it is - then more power to you. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that.

But really, to me, this was an above average stealth / action cover game in a AAA wrapper. Even the story was clichéd if you've read The Road or I Am Legend. I actually got a bit bored of the lack of enemy variety and other than the Clickers they were a bit generic (oh wow, a fat bad guy that goes boom, never seen that before!).

Btw, if anyone liked the story in The Last of Us I would highly recommend reading I Am Legend. Not watching the Will Smith crap. The book by Richard Matheson. You will not regret it.

"Not watching the Will Smith crap"? Are you implying that I Am Legend was a bad movie? My good sir, i must disagree with this.

Jdoki3895d ago

To each their own.. whilst I loved the overgrown city design (which The Last of Us clearly took inspiration from) I was not a fan of the movie overall.

The CGI creatures were just a bit too CGI'ey, and a lot of what made the book fantastic was completely lost.

I hope you enjoy the rumoured sequel though.

One of our team members Doesn't actually own a PS3. I'd say ont he merit of heavy rain, this and maybe even MGS series it's worth the cheap investment just to enjoy games as an Xbox only owner he wouldn't enjoy.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast77d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs74d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast74d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs73d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast73d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer77d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6977d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger122d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2377d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid121d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast121d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
