The Last of Us Review | QuarterToThree

The Last of Us is the most emotionally resonant game you will ever play about plank, ladder, and palette management. To be fair you’ll sometimes scooch dumpsters around. At one point, you scooch a piano.

R.I.P 96 average score in Metacritic :( !

DeletedAcc3963d ago

Lol that review is ridiculous xDDD
10/10 by me

Black-Helghast3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

This is bs, for the past 2 days I've seen more than 10 perfect scores for the game and almost none for Metacritic but now these fellas come along and give 3/5 and its available on there? Fts.

Edit: Wait a sec.. this guy gave Bioshock 3/5 also and it was never posted on Metacritic. Dafuq?

brodychet3963d ago

Another pathetic attempt at pulling in hits for his pathetic site.

Blacktric3963d ago

It's Tom Chick. The guy who said "it's only 90% bad" about Deus Ex back in 2000.

Just don't give this guy or his site any hits and it'll be fine.

xHeavYx3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

Same idiot who gave Journey 2 stars, for some reason links to honest gamers for the Uncharted 3 review (who got a 4/10 there)
I just noticed this site has only 8 PS3 reviews and 64 reviews for Xbox, they can't be any more biased.
Some Metacritic info "On average, this publication grades 9.4 points lower than other critics". Maybe it's time to write to Metacritic about this POS website

Ilovetheps53962d ago

Heavy, I already did write them. I wonder if Metacritic would waver at all if a ton of people wrote in to Metacritic. He does not need to be included on that site on any game. If I remember correctly, he even gave Halo 4 a 1/5 and Journey a 2/5. I might not be a Xbox fan, but Halo 4 definitely isn't a 1/5. Journey is higher than a 2/5 as well.

Anyone who fell for clicking that link is part of the problem.

InTheLab3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

"That's until that troll at Quarter to Three, Tom Chick does his usual trolling and gives it a 2 or something....and then, predictably, a few haters call upon the old "it's his opinion" crap..."

Said that 8 days ago. No...I'm not a psychic. He does it everytime.

DO NOT CLICK THE SITE AND HE'LL GO AWAY....

edit...meant to reply to comment 1.2

So predictable

*sigh*

Don't give him the click

Walker3963d ago

It will added in the metacritic !

just look at this :(
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Blastoise3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

It's been added. So long 96 :( lol

But it's still on a massive 95!

Suck it quarter to three.

THE-COMMANDER3962d ago

@Walker:

Just found out man :(

But lol who cares, we all know by now that the game is AWESOME!

and 95 is still an outstanding score!

ElitaStorm3963d ago

this review is not on Metacritic, i think

Ilovetheps53962d ago

Yes, sadly it has. It dropped it down a point. I don't understand how he keeps getting onto Metacritic.

yugovega3963d ago

their score doesn't matter. the sales do and sadly enough this game won't sell.

Blastoise3963d ago

What makes you so sure? It's reached over 300,000 pre orders in America alone

yugovega3962d ago

it's not trolling. do you really expect this to reach even uncharted levels? uncharted go all kinds of praise but doesn't come close to the big dogs when it comes to sales. thats just the facts. 3 millin at the most and even that is pushing it. and tomb raider proves that isn't great sale since it's consider a failure.

not everyone i part of the conspiracy and trolling. take your tin foil hats off "gamers"

CGI-Quality3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

Why does it HAVE to reach Uncharted levels? That's also very different from "this won't sell." Thus, you make no sense at all.

Edit: Looking at your second post, it's clear you shouldn't be taken seriously. You haven't a clue.

G20WLY3962d ago

Consider this, troll; Tomb Raider is available on multiple formats, whereas Uncharted 3 is available on ONE.

Do you see how the 2 sales figures are incomparable? I'm wasting my breath, aren't I..?

smh :|

And btw, TLOU will be available as a bundle with PS3, which will boost sales even further - sorry to break that to you ;P

chaldo3963d ago

Heh its funny because when the bargain ended, i was like.. quarter to three is gonna give it a bad score.

s8anicslayer3962d ago

He's given;

Halo 4 - 1 star
Brutal Legend - 5
Sleeping Dogs - 2 stars
Forza 4 - 2 stars
Bioshock Infinite - 3 stars
Star Wars Pinball - 5 stars
ZombieU - 4 stars

He is not consistent with his reviews and his overall judgment of games is questionable! METACRITIC needs to do a better job selecting whom they select to link to their site.

OlgerO3962d ago

DOnt these people understand that there lust for clicks actually really undermines the work that Naughty dog did in the past several years

sonyboy473962d ago

For now
If it gets around 3 perfect scores it will get 96 again)
I remember when LBP vita with 60 scores was 88,then with 68 it fall to 87,and now its again 88 with 71 reviews.

febreeze13962d ago

Wait. WTF. No words can express how I feel now....I hate sites like this

ShiranaiJittai3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

Tom Chick you are such a POS. You "have to have" the most negative controversial rating period. So lets say you were planning on giving it a 75 for example. Oh but Polygon already did that (which is owned by Viacom partnered with Microsoft. So no no you can't be outdone right? So you have to go even lower. You make me sick. You are one of the most widely known video game journalists, but your integrity is a joke. You rely on controversy and low scores. Basically you are the Simon Cowell of video game journalists everywhere. You don't give a damn about being fair and accurate you just have to be the one with the most controversial inaccurate review. In anything and everything.

Just checked all your 5 star reviews on your site saw quite a few ridiculous ones but a few that really stood out.

Star Wars Pinball and The Darkness II.....REALLY TOM!?!?!?

REALLY!?!?!

plmkoh3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

So Tom Chick wrote this?

whilst he has been a 'freelancing' journalist for about 20 years now (or so he claims) if you read many of his opinions, interviews and reviews you see that he is a man who can be described as simply 'bitter' , and genuinely hates Naughty Dog, you only have to read his Uncharted reviews.

GenericNameHere3962d ago

Oh wow, really? I get giving the game a bad score if it was not up to today's standards of gaming, but giving a game a bad score because you don't like the developer?? Get this stupid man's reviews out of Metacritic. People worked years to create this one game. The least you could do is review it on its own merits and give a fair and unbiased judgment.

Bobets3963d ago

LOL!!!! starwars pin ball 5/5 AHAHAHAHAHAH.

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."

anast76d 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.

AlterRecs73d 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"

anast73d 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.

AlterRecs72d 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

anast72d ago

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

DrDoomer76d ago

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

CrimsonWing6976d ago

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

AlterRecs73d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6973d 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.

Chocoburger121d 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.

seanpitt2376d 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…

anast120d 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?
