The Last of Us Review | GeekedOutNation

It’s pretty rare to find a game that features a thought-provoking story with well-drawn characters inhabiting an interesting world. Rarer still are the titles within that subset whose gameplay is compelling and yet not at odds with the story or its themes. The Last of Us is one such gem, a cohesive and cogent late-generation stunner that is not only one of the best games so far this year, it’s up there with the best games of this generation.

I'm now playing for the 7th time on Survivor. I'm expecting great graphics from next gen but, to me, TLOU is next gen in terms of production values.

Wow seriously? It was a good game, even great.....but this is getting ridiculous.....this game is the most overrated game in history...90/100 at best. Online was a complete waste, the story was great till the end when it got blown to crap....yay a 40 year old guys screws the world and wants to keep a little girl for himself. Most of the game play was boring and repetitive (Tomb Raider was similar but had much better gameplay)and used forced QTEs too much to try to fake being dramatic. Now, again...I DO think it was a great game, but with how blown out of proportion it's getting, I feel I have to accent it's weak points to remind people that there were some....oh, and it looked great, but not mind-blowing

PoSTedUP3840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

you just described a horrible, horrible game, and then said you thought it was great. not that i would respect your opinion, but also, no sober person thinks like that nor would one agree with what you said, or take you serioulsly, or be friends with you.

serratos273840d ago

He started and ended his comment by saying the game is great lol.

fluxmulder3840d ago

Agreed. Great game for it's genre, but incredibly overrated. People are willingly turning a blind eye to it's weaknesses, not sure why. I found the gameplay extremely repetitive. Creep around enemies who seem to have no peripheral vision, strangle, repeat over and over. I did not enjoy moving palettes/ladders around, felt like busy work. I liked the limited ammo, but it's not like this is the first game to do this. Harsh and lonely post-apocalyptic world with zombies, heavy focus on interpersonal relationships. Basically the Walking Dead. Without it this game would have had no template to draw from.

serratos273840d ago

In terms of gameplay and repetitiveness, yeah I see that. There were stages in the game that took a while to advance in because you had to creep around stealthily kill enemies. Still loved the game regardless. And lets face it, a lot of games are pretty repetitive when you think about it, TLoU is just more obvious.

What game doesn't get repetitive? After all you are just pressing buttons. If it isn't sneaking and figuring things out, its shooting enemies constantly.

So to say this game's weakness was "being repetitive" then every game made this generation loses points too.

Austin483840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

This guy doesant know a great game when he sees it dude if you don't like the game why are you here you are a idiot oh wait you are here to start an argument how immature of you. My honest opinion is this game derserves a 100/100 and the multiplayer was excellent of course the story is better but either way you put it naughty dog made a masterpiece of a game

scott1823840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

Online was a complete waste? It was my favorite mp this gen.... I had to sell the game because it was so addictive and I never got anything else done. God I loved it.

ABeastNamedTariq3840d ago

Yes, it's your civic duty as a human being to remind people that your opinion is absolute fact and should be treated as the final word. Because you're right, right? /s

No, but seriously, this is my third favorite game, ever. No one truly cares about what you say, lol. Yes I cared enough to correct your ridiculousness (besides that, not much) -- as if, since you typed, oh wise one, it must be true.

You feel like you have to point out the few weaknesses it has (that I, myself, overlooked because I enjoyed everything else so much) on a game people enjoyed because you're firmly in the Xbox camp. Comment history proves it. Lol, GTFO.

Riderz13373840d ago

Idk what game you played but the multiplayer was absolutely incredible. The crafting system is so awesome because the game doesn't pause or stop as your crafting so it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

DigitalRaptor3840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

I think at this stage, most people know corvusmd as a weak, jealous Xbox-sided troll.

Even when we all know - even Xbox fans know - that it's an incredible, generation-defining experience, he'll still look to find reasons to downplay. Pathetic, yet pretty funny at the same time.

Look out for him on the PS4 threads, it's gonna be a fun ride.

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.

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.

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?
