Top 100 Games of the Generation: The Last of Us #1

hardcoregamer:" The Last of Us was an unparalleled achievement in gaming. Although not enough time has gone by for its inspirations to be fully felt, it’s as close to an instant classic as a game can get and will surely be remembered in the decades to come. Pushing the PS3 to its limits and looking like a next-gen game, The Last of Us is absolutely beautiful, drawing players in with its abandoned cityscapes and depictions of the wonder of nature. There’s multiple moments that have stuck in player’s minds long after experiencing it and it’s hard for it not to feel like a fine piece of art in that respect."

Right up there with Fallout 3, Skyrim, Red Dead, Heavy Rain, GTA5 and ME1 + ME2 imo.

xHeavYx3809d ago

I agree, the game is a masterpiece, even if the fact that it is #1 will hurt the feelings of people who never played the game

gillri3809d ago

No ME2? I prefer ME1 in alot of ways to ME2 but all in all I thought ME2 was the better game

GarrusVakarian3809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

Fixed it :) Don't know why i didn't include 2 because i think its pretty much a better game in almost every aspect. The only thing i liked more about ME1 was the mako and the rpg elements that got taken away in ME2.

Lannister3809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

If by overrated you mean NOT overrated then yeah, I agree.

Philoctetes3809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

Not even close to overrated. I don't know that it's necessarily THE game of this generation since so much of that is going to be subjective and vary from one person to the next, but I'm pretty comfortable saying that it's my personal GOTG.

It basically comes down to TLOU vs. Demon's Souls for me.

admiralvic3809d ago

How can you say it's "not even close to overrated"? The game might be good, might be great, but some people act like it's some divine game that transcends reality and its existence makes all other games seem like Amy. I mean, unless you honestly believe it's so great that it does all the aforementioned things, then you should be able to admit that it might be on some level overrated.

Philoctetes3809d ago

I'm saying it's not even close to overrated because when people talk about it being the best game of this generation, they're at least in the right ballpark. Yes, I know TLOU will not cure cancer.

MultiConsoleGamer3809d ago

In my top 10? Definitely. Number 1? Hell no.

Ezz20133809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

nothing wrong with having different opinion and at least it's on your top 10 list this gen
can you list your top 10 list though ?!

here is my list:
1.The last of us
2.God of war 3
3.Batman Arkham origins/Uncharted 2
4.Red Dead Redimption/Fallout 3
5.Demon Souls/Dark Souls
6.Metal gear soild 4/Mass Effect 2
7.Infamous 2/LBP2
8.Heavy Rain/Beyond Two Souls
9.Lord Of Shadows/Ni No Kuni
10.Vanquish

sooooooo many awesome games this gen

DaGR8JIBRALTAR3809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

good list....uncharted 2 my #1 of this gen tho....followed by the last of us.

TheFallenAngel3809d ago

God of War 3 is my number one. Then
The Last of Us
Uncharted 2&3
Metal Gear Solid 4
Resistance:Fall of Man
Call of Duty 4: Modern warfare.
Dead Rising 1
Red Dead Redemption
BioShock.

Ezz20133809d ago

@dagr8jibraltar and @thefallenangel

i'm ok with this too

Larry L3809d ago (Edited 3809d ago )

IMO the "Top 10" for me, or at least the Top 5......they're all pretty much tied for #1. I wouldn't choose between them. A top 10 or whatever list is impossible. Top lists in gaming need to be split up into genres to be anything other than a long list of highly rated games.

So that said, all my #1's are.........

#1 MGS4
#1 Heavy Rain
#1 Dragon Age: Origins
#1 Uncharted 2
#1 Skyrim
#1 God of War 3
#1 GTA5
#1 Batman Arkham City
#1 Gears of War 1 and 2
#1 Gran Turismo 5

Honorable #1 mention: LEGO Games, especially Star Wars and MARVEL. Also ME1, CoD4, GRAW2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1.

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.

Chocoburger120d 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

Linzoid120d 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?
