The 12 biggest nitpicks of The Last of Us

GamesRadar: "It's been one month since Naughty Dog released its apocalyptic opus onto the gaming public. That's one month to scour every last inch of The Last of Us, one month to fall in love with Ellie and Joel through multiple playthroughs, and one month to poke a little fun at some of its microscopic flaws."

Yeah I agree with some of these like how time fast forwards at certain parts in the game I understand why but I would liked to have played certain parts. Also I might be the only one who didn't like that Ellie can't be seen by enemies it broke the immersion at times, there was a part where a hunter was walking around and he bumped into Ellie it was funny but I wish they could see her.

ZoyosJD3934d ago

So true...and still my only knock on the game. But you still gotta love it.

hahaha i love that comic strip :P

minimur123934d ago

by the way guys, SPOILERS

ZoyosJD3934d ago (Edited 3934d ago )

@minimur12

Don't worry.

You clearly haven't played the game, so I'll tell you now that this comic strip doesn't spoil anything story related. It's a parody on the AI.

BluEx6103933d ago (Edited 3933d ago )

@ZoyosJD think he's talking about the article. And yes the article has Major Spoilers in it. But if you haven't finished the game, you shouldn't be reading these types of articles to begin with. And also shame on you for not finishing this masterpiece already.

ZoyosJD3933d ago

@BLuEx610

Then he shouldn't have responded to me seeing as I had a link.

The article has it's own spoiler warning.

I already finished the game, but then again that was totally intended for me, wasn't it. /s

It broke the immersion but it would have been infuriating if they spotted her all the time and messed everything up for you. I completely understand why Naughty Dog chose to do it.

assdan3934d ago

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with this. The reason they cant do something like that is because it's not your fault what they AI does. When something that isn't your fault gets you killed in a game, it's called bullshit. Like in World at war on veteran when you are surrounded by 8 grenades. There's no challenge, the game just kills you for fun sometimes to make the illusion of difficulty. There are some things that I kind of agree with in this article, but most of the points are stupid. Also, does anyone have a clue what he was going on about with Bill?

CaptainYesterday3933d ago

Well I and a lot people think that Bill is supposed to be gay watch or replay Bill's part in the game.

assdan3931d ago

I should have been clearer with what I meant by what was going on with Bill. I agree that Bill was supposed to be gay. That seemed pretty obvious. I meant what the Hell was this guy talking about on the part of the article where he talked about Bill. It was incredibly disjointed and incoherent.

Mr_Nuts3934d ago

I do agree about the items still being their when it changed seasons and I totally agree on the crafting system how you couldn't use any kind of cloth or sharp objects for shivs off broken windows or anything else your found out there.

Xenomorph3934d ago (Edited 3934d ago )

The point of this was lack of resources. Sure they could have made everything salvageable but ND wanted to make you conserve. If we are going to nitpick, how about the "I can easily reach this ledge about 2 feet above me" when in water.

Nitpicking old video game tropes isn't doing anything justice.

andibandit3934d ago

Or the small things being picked at here just solidifies TLOU as a great game.

SeraphimBlade3934d ago

***SPOILERS***
Yeah, I agree about the "combat medic" thing. When the game went to Winter, I was honestly hoping it would double down and have you play as Ellie the rest of the game. I just kinda rolled my eyes when Joel got back up and almost immediately started kicking ass. Good thing the rest of the story that followed was so damn good.
Also, it all happened because of the ONE TIME she doesn't help you when you get grabbed with her unbreakable knife. "Why didn't she stab that guy?" is right up there with "why don't they cast life on Aeris?"

linkenski3934d ago

Mine would probably have to be that the change from season to season didn't have a good flow. Summer is basically over 50% of the game and then fall and winter is just slapped on top of it. Another one is that Winter felt like a filler episode.

RIP_Weazel3934d ago

Huh? Winter's awesome-possibly one of the best in the game!

assdan3934d ago

The Winter part was the best part of the game.

linkenski3929d ago

It wasn't bad at all. It just felt like a spin-off.

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."

anast81d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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"

anast78d 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.

AlterRecs77d 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

anast77d ago

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

DrDoomer81d ago

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

CrimsonWing6981d ago

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

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d 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.

Chocoburger125d 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.

seanpitt2381d 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

Linzoid125d 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…

anast125d 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?
