The Last of Us is Superior to Uncharted

The Last of Us is Superior to Uncharted - The Last of Us is a deep game with wonderful character development and a deep, masterful narrative. The Uncharted Series is an Indiana Jones wannabe.

[guywazeldatatt]

I really can't wait for the last of us part II. if it's anything like the godfather part ii it will be one of the best games ever, maybe better than the first. uncharted had its time and lost legacy was okay to me but it was better than the first four.

[DarXyde]

What if I told you that you can like The Last of Us more without acting like Uncharted is a problem? Honestly, I was curious about your reasoning, but it feels like clickbait based on the headline and description... so I'm not going to click that.

[SuperSonic91]

It is click bait.
Naughty Dog games evolve over their previous games. From Crash to Uncharted Lost Legacy. They always top their last game.

[guywazeldatatt]

I honestly just found it to be an interesting contrast

[Bahamut]

@Darklink28

Idk, just feels like you were trying to get people riled up so they click on the link.

[Unspoken]

Wtf is up with N4G and malware riddled throughout it's website and code. Check your ads!!

[_-EDMIX-_]

@unspoke- completely agreed I've been coming to this site less and less because I just refuse to use my phone on this site.

Smh

[babadivad]

Surely you jest!!!

[masterfox]

Way different directions of this two titles to call one superior from the other, both are awesome in their respective formula.

[guywazeldatatt]

Uncharted is like a ripoff of Indiana Jones. Nathan Drake isn't an interesting character in the least bit. Uncharted is also way more linear.

[StormLegend]

Nathan Drake isn't an interesting character??? WHAT???? Drake is one of the main reasons people buy uncharted games. Did you see how people got mad when the Lost Legacy didn't include him? Also what game isn't a ripoff of another game? None of that matters, we just want quality games.

[AspiringProGenji]

Broo with comments loke these coming from I wonder how you run a website? You made several pieces bedore about your hate for the series when U4 came and even called it a Tomb Raider rip off, and now you are calling it a Indiana jones?

If all you wanted to say was you are excited for TLoU 2, maybe you should have wrote a piece about that and stop comparing these two amazing game series. Uncharted is lighthearted and more fun. TLoU is more grounded and engaging. Great games!

End of story!

[Nyxus]

Plenty of people like the characters in Uncharted a lot, including Nathan Drake. Also, being linear isn't a flaw, it's a design choice.

[UltraNova]

Do you hear yourself self talk? Two different approaches. Drake is fun and never boring, he is The reference for fun action characters. Get real.

[Deep-throat]

Uncharted is a ripoff of Tomb Raider, which was heavily inspired by IJ.

[Last_Boss]

Try watching other movies like Romancing the Stone.

[AirJohnston]

I’ll never understand why the word “linear” is always used in a negative connotation nowadays. Why is it all of the sudden a bad thing to be linear? Not every game needs to be a giant sandbox

[MoonConquistador]

Nathan Drake is far more interesting than any of your opinions of him, yet you still published yours online.

Go sit in a corner somewhere (preferably one that doesn't have internet access in it)

[HeisenbergX]

@ Dark do you hear yourself man ? please think before u write jeez

Also talking about it's way more linear like that's a bad thing when TLOU is 10 times more linear than UC4 and Lost Legacy.. and seriously WHAAAAT !? have you even played UC4 and Lost Legacy you have no fucking clue what you are talking about do you because those games feel like open world compared to the first TLOU.

LMAO

[Kratos_Kart2007]

Insert Tom Cruise laugh Meme.......

[trooper_]

I don't see the relation between Indiana Jones and Drake.

Sorry, don't agree.

[Aceman18]

My man I dont know what ur smoking, but you need to get off of it right away lol. Both franchises are great in their own respect dont try to downplay one over the other.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Dude out of the five console uncharted games three were linear get over it the games haven't been extremely linear for awhile now. You say Uc is a rip off of Indiana jones has if that's a bad thing or that Indiana jones wasn't a rip off of 1920-1930 pulp adventures lol. Nathan drake isn't an interesting character to YOU but he obviously has tons of fans judging by his popularity but please keep spewing crap it's good for a laugh

[Araragifeels]

The saltiness Flow through you.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

@Darklink28 add “in my opinion” next time after you write your comment.

[BIGBOSS08]

Have you even played uncharted? It sounds more like you just watched a few videos of it than actually played it.

[rainslacker]

LOL. OK.

Drake is interesting, and actually a dynamic character who changes from game to game, and even within a single game itself. He's not as deep as Joel's character, but he isn't uninteresting. Maybe you don't see it, so you don't find him interesting, but to claim it like you do really makes no sense.

TLOU is extremely linear. There is no venturing off the beaten path. UC is pretty much the same way, although UC4 does offer a bit more exploration between the different points. But outside UC4, both UC and TLOU are about as linear as the other.

I don't read many of your articles, and it's because your comments elsewhere are about as meaningless and shallow as the ones you make here, which makes me think that your articles are just expanded versions of this same meaningless and shallow sentiment that you express routinely.

[george957]

those dislike says it all
Dont feed the troll guys

And what are the Mods doing here... Why cant they block or warn a troll like Darklink28 and if he gets trolled then the person will get blocked... weird..

[Silly gameAr]

How do you get away with getting anything approved here? You always sound like a troll.

[HeisenbergX]

@ Deep-Throat Ahhh this guy .. he's been probably waiting for ages for a garbage article like this so he can leave a comment like that.

so sad

You do know that the new Tomb Raider games are a ripoff of Uncharted right ?

[guywazeldatatt]

TLOU is linear in a way too but there’s still a little more room for exploration. Uncharted not so much

[rainslacker]

@Dark

Quite literally in TLOU, everything there is extra to do is just a short jaunt off the main path. The only things extra in the game were collectables, and there were only a couple areas where you could go more than one way through the area. There was really no exploration in the game outside looking a bit more in the areas that you were already in. There was nowhere to go but where the game wanted you to go.

The first couple UC games were like this as well, and it opened up a bit in the third game, but in UC4, there was a lot of places you could expand and explore.

Where you got the idea that TLOU was more open than UC is beyond me. TLOU is more restrictive than even the first UC game, and UC4 is certainly much more open.

If you can't even get that right, how can one take you seriously on any of your other opinions of the game. I love both the games, and rank them as some of my favorites, but even I can see that you are patently wrong with your assertion. It's not even a matter of opinion on this aspect....just you not able to even recognize what core aspects of the game are that you seem to base your opinion on.

[TallonIV]

Uncharted is like a ripoff of Indiana Jones.

[Old McGroin]

Uncharted 2 vs The Last of Us...tough one to call.

[guywazeldatatt]

TLOU by far. Better gameplay, better story, more depth, interesting characters.

[StormSnooper]

I had to dislike even though part of me agrees. It feels like blasphemy to talk about uncharted like its some crappy game. On the other hand TLOU blew my mind.

[guywazeldatatt]

@stormsnooper sorry always thought the series was mediocre, but then uncharted 4 came along..

[HeisenbergX]

Dark@ Yes UC4 came along and then it became the best in the series and sold 10m and gotten the same critical praise as UC2 and almost the same critical praise as TLOU.

[MoonConquistador]

Wrong again lol.

Your opinion piece was rubbish and all the comments you've posted in reply to it have been full of fail.

You know, sometimes it's actually better to just not say anything. If the only reason you'd compare these very different games is to get opinion pieces like yours, can we all just agree not to compare them.

Oh, an UC 2 was absolutely stunning as was Indiana Jones (and TLOU). Let's just leave it at that eh?

[goldwyncq]

Uncharted 2 was one of the most revolutionary and influential games last gen. It drastically raised what people can expect from AAA action games. It's to cinematic third person shooters what Half-Life is to first person shooters.

[SuperSonic91]

Boy you give Link a very bad name.

[fenome]

Of course it's better, it's the evolution of their development style. Why can't you just let TLoU stand up on it's own merits rather than throwing uncharted under the bus? TLoU wouldn't even exist if they never made Uncharted.

Also Nathan Drake and his friends were some of my favorite characters last gen so I don't even know what you're on about.

[Bahamut]

Quit comparing them. The gameplay may be similar, but they are different genres. Most people wouldn't compare "Indiana Jones" to "The Road". It just seems stupid to draw comparisons and say one is better than the other. They are both great games.

[galmi]

Easy for me, as much as i seriously enjoyed uncharted 2, best in the series imo, the last of us was virtually perfect

[Akarogg]

Nope. Last of Us is WAY better

[nintendoswitchfan]

Uncharted is way more fun.

[guywazeldatatt]

it has cool set pieces at times but mediocre cover and shooting mechanics aren't fun.

[AspiringProGenji]

Disagree! the cover is great and the gunplay as well. May not be fun to you, but Uncharted is a fun series to play

[RommyReigns]

Are you trying to beat Septic for the most number of disagree votes on N4G?

[Sunny_D]

I thought trying to be edgy died out a while ago?

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Please please please explain how the cover or shooting mechanics are mediocre in Uc games especially 4 and lost legacy. Do they not work as intended come on explain your crap opinion I'm sure we'll all wait to see the ridiculous crap you come up with

[outsider1624]

You know, opinions are opinions and i respect that. But calling the UC series medeocre...now that, good sir, is why i think your opinion sucks.

[AirJohnston]

Uncharted is one of my favorite series and I love them all to death, but I think I honestly had more fun with TLoU gameplay. I enjoyed the crafting system and sneaking around trying to make something happen with whatever supplies you were lucky enough to find. I can see why people think Uncharted is more fun tho

[jaymacx]

Uncharted is like a non stop action adventure film. TLOU is like an horror , thriller, and action game. I would compare the latter to Resident Evil or Left for dead. Its almost like comparing Mario against Zelda.

[babadivad]

I liked the fact you aren't basically immortal in TLOU. If you fucked up, you were dead. It added tension and realism to engagements that Uncharted sometimes lacked. Sometimes less is more.

[rainslacker]

I think I have more overall fun with UC, because the games are more lighthearted and it's just supposed to be fun. UC was just set up to be an action game, where the adrenaline flows, whereas TLOU is more about the tension one would feel in the various situation.

But I think the overall experience has a much bigger impact in TLOU. It's hard to walk away from TLOU without being moved by the story and overall presentation, and of course it's backed up by solid game play, which at times can be challenging, with enough variety to keep it interesting.

Two entirely different approaches and presentations. Both great in their own way.

[mastiffchild]

Both series are fantastic. U2 is a hugely influential game in many ways and cemented Drake as a relatable hero everyman-popular with male and female gamers.

Uncharted is not better than TLOU and is not inferior either. Is coffee better than, say, pillows? Both do their job very well and the existence of one does not detract from the other. TLOU is tense thriller and Uncharted is summer blockbuster.

Love both. Using one ND game to bash the other really misses the point to me. The gunplay and cover in Uncharted is now amazingly slick yet still individual and work done on it allowed for the variant used in TLOU. It's a deliberately shaky version of U3's shooting isn't it?

[StormLegend]

You can't really compare them. Uncharted is about a guy cracking funny jokes, thieving and climbing things to escape death. The Last Of Us is about 2 people trying to survive the apocalypse and because of that they take things seriously.
I love Nathan Drake, Elena, Sully and Chloe. I wouldn't compare them at all to Ellie and Joel.

[guywazeldatatt]

but the jokes aren't funny...and you can look at the gameplay, not just the story. uncharted's gameplay is mediocre at best.

[Nyxus]

No it's not.

[Razzer]

Hardly

[galmi]

played uncharted for graphics and story definitely not gameplay, played the last of us for everything

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

@Darklink28 Please just stop. You are making yourself look like a retard. /smh

[NXFather]

Man honestly most people these people are cornier than you and I. Don't let a few downvotes on n4g fool you. Most gamers on the streets don't even know what Uncharted is.

*of these

[OB1Biker]

They are very different games, and they both have different qualities. Feels like click bait to me. Usually gaming sites do it for fanboy war but here the flame bait is about two different games.
Lame

[guywazeldatatt]

I think you can look at the gameplay and depth of the characters even if the plot and settings are very different and legitimately compare. Both are from the same Dev so there are bound to be ways you can judge side by side

[OB1Biker]

That could be valid with a fair comparison truly appreciating the Games quality. Here it's just a poorly written flame bait trying to pss on one of the best games of this gen.
Don't fall for it and fail this story

[rainslacker]

You don't seem to be trying to compare in your comments. You just seem to be trying to say that UC is mediocre in every aspect, from Story, characters, game play, and presentation. It defies logic to use all those points as your reason, because on some of them, they take completely different approaches in how they are presented, so they aren't meant to be the same.

Obviously, you can like one over the other on any or all of those metrics, but to say that one is mediocre, not in comparison, but overall, is like taking two sides of the issue, saying it's mediocre to begin with, thus it's worthy of comparison.

[Poli_Games]

Last of Us is my favorite game of all time so I agree ;)

[guywazeldatatt]

I play it and am reminded how bad the walking dead show has gotten lol . And the music is so good

[Angelin]

It’s “The Last of Us” ;)

[FallenAngel1984]

Why compare these games when they’re entirely different? The only thing they have in common is their developer

[Akarogg]

Because they're not entirely different

[Angelin]

Yup, they are both games...

[TheGamersGhost]

Drake and Jones really aren't the same character. At all. The two are driven by two completely different end-goals. They're both adventurers, yes, but I feel like comparing the two without actually dissecting both characters is... lazy. It would be like comparing Kratos to Joel, just because both tragically lost their daughter and became colder because of it.

The writing for TLoU gave Joel quite a bit more to work with than Drake, but you're also comparing a script intended to deliver a quality adventure and one that was solely written to tear your heart out.

[Rimeskeem]

It’s funny cause they are made by the same devs and for the same system. It’s like it doesn’t even matter which one you think is better since you would have access to both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Relientk77]

I prefer Uncharted, but I love both. I love playing as a treasure hunter, traveling to all these exotic locations (the scenery is beautiful), doing all these fun puzzles, awesome set pieces (train, and plane), chase scenes, and Nathan's and Chloe's one liners. Also it has great shooting mechanics and gameplay (which TLoU has too)

[cellfluid]

The last of us 2 will be ps5 compatible!!!!!

[P_Bomb]

Actual news is superior to ppl who submit their own blogs then spam the comment section :p

[DialgaMarine]

Two completely different games that are incredible in their own ways. I’m am extremely stoked for TLoU2, but the UC franchise will always be special to me. Huge fan of both.

[AnubisG]

I preffer the action adventure treasure hunting, good humor and beautiful locations. An all around positive and uplifting game that is Uncharted. As opposed to TLoU wich is depressing, with locations that are ruins, decay and rotten.

But that is just me.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Absolutely agreed

that's my biggest problem with this strange article is it's trying to make it sound as if it needs to be an either-or. This is simply based on personal preference and it doesn't need to be an either or, it would be like trying to say which is better, the Silence of the Lambs or Forrest Gump. (Completely disregards that there different genres)

Or

Or

Or... We can like multiple things for different reasons.

[AnubisG]

Very true.

I played both games. TLoU is a masterpiece, no doubt. Just prefer Uncharted. If someone prefers TLoU over Uncharted, good on them.

[rainslacker]

I can respect that opinion. I find both great games, and enjoy them in different ways. I think I wouldn't enjoy a lot of TLOU style games in succession, but every once in a while, it's great to have something different.

I'd probably feel the same about UC as well. In fact, when they did the Nathan Drake Collection, by the time I got to the third game, I was getting a little worn out, and kind of lost some of my desire to jump right into UC4....although I did and didn't regret it.

I think it just depends on my mood at the time. I don't think either is actually better or worse than the other. I just feel they do things differently, and are quality titles in their own ways.

[doos_vd_kak]

Agreed

[slappy508]

Not sure why you're getting disagrees. Uncharterds story telling is unparalleled. Well compared to anything really

[Akarogg]

He agreed that The Last of Us is superior

[slappy508]

Doh! I was meant to say TLOU instead of Uncharted

[slappy508]

Those disagrees are hurting my feels. Stahp.

[InTheZoneAC]

Different games, comparisons are stupid. They're both great...

[bluefox755]

Depends how you compare. Uncharted is more fun, TLoU had better storytelling.

[RommyReigns]

The Last of Us is the greatest Sony game in history, Uncharted 2 is the second greatest.

[PistolsAtDawn]

Both games are good but WILDLY overrated

[Doabarrelroll]

Seeing is how million of people and outlets consider it a masterpiece, your wrong its just that good of a game

[Asuka]

By definition you are proving his/her point... The irony haha

[SpaceRanger]

@Asuka

Some people don’t understand how “irony” works. He isn’t proving his point.

[GaboonViper]

LOL his on twitter, he follows Mooch and all those sad Man children, i can guarantee if LOU was on Xbox it would be the best game ever.

[Legatus]

LOL of course you are going to say that simply because you are one of the biggest, if not the biggest xbox fanboy here and they are Playstation exclusives. If ND were a MS studio and these 2 gaming gems xbox exclusives you would be singing praises for both the studio and the games and that's a fact. For you every single playstation exclusive is overrated and every xbox exclusive is underrated. I still remember your conspiracy theory about how reviewers intentionally gave higher scores for the PS4 exclusives and lower scores for the xbox exclusives.

[MasterCornholio]

I remember calling him out for that. I agree that it was a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Some people can't just accept how good ND is because their games are not available on the platform of their choice.

[DFresh]

I like both series.
Only thing I don't like about Uncharted was that Naughty Dog didn't have an identity for that series multiplayer/co op and it felt tacked on.
-Uncharted 2 MP = Amazing. You had to find your weapons including power weapons. Nobody had any bullshit kill streaks or any of that nonsense. It was all skill. Gun on gun your done.
-Uncharted 2 Co Op = Really fun and under rated. I can choose between Co Op modes like Siege, Survival, Plunder, etc.
-Uncharted 3 MP = It was fun minus those stupid kill streaks. Sprint and grenade throwback though were nice touches.
-Uncharted 3 Co Op = You could only do 10 rounds with one mode that was mixed between Siege, Survival and Plunder. No freedom choosing between modes. That pissed me off as someone who was a fan of the Co Op.
-Uncharted 4 MP = It felt way too slow paced, no grenade throwback, no sprint, health revives (What was so wrong with regenerative health? Really?), guns have way too much recoil, etc. Overall way too slow paced compared to Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 MP.
-Uncharted 4 Co Op = Co Op is fun but because of the new mechanics it still feels slow paced compared to other entries in the series.
Single player has always been stellar though which is the main reason people buy Uncharted games.
Anyways I'm looking forward to The Last of Us Part 2.
My PS4 Pro is ready.
:D

[KickSpinFilter]

Duh

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I’d have to say the TLOU is the better experience imo. It was my favorite game last gen and imo still hasn’t been topped this gen. Uncharted can be a fun game but the formula started to wear out to me. I did enjoy lost legacy though but still TLOU is unmatched last gen and imo it’s still unmatched this gen.

[ILostMyMind]

Two incredible games produced by the same company, for the same platform. Although I agree that TLoU is superior to Uncharted, the opinion of this "journalist" is depressing. They do everything for a few clicks.

[MrVux000]

They are equal in quality,since both excel in their specific genre masterfully. Hopefully The Last Of Us Part II will continue that...

[OffRoadKing]

They're both fantastic games, despite your efforts to downplay Uncharted.

[trooper_]

I love both.

[Kerplunk80]

This article was so bad I think it will bring down everyone's IQ. Comparing a zombie game to a treasure hunting is beyond special in the head. Lmao. This dude only loves failing Nintendo who better hope their switch fires up in more sales or it will be Dreamcast v2. Botw worst of the series they could have done so much more to it added more depth. That game was a yawn fest boring as can be.

[galmi]

I agree 100%

[_-EDMIX-_]

Both

[shabz666]

Last of us is soooo much better. Uncharted needs to go away for a while.

[goldwyncq]

Uncharted 2 is still Naughty Dog's best game IMO. That mindblowing train level still holds up to this day.

[theshredded]

Yes and no. It's better at everything except being a better game and gfx. But they both are mediocre at being games and idgaf about narrative games unless it's actually something new and different.

[FernDiggidy]

Nah. Uncharted is more fun.

[one2thr]

That was a tremendous amount of bait, sadly too many people fell for it.

[OB1Biker]

It's depressing that such a weak article can manipulate people into debating that point of view.
No wonder the professional gaming media have so much influence.

[SouljAx360]

I liked Uncharted more. Don't get me wrong LoU and the characters in it were great but I just wasn't interested in the story. And hated the monster design.

[stokedAF]

Yeah, no.

[GamingSinceForever]

Superior seems a bit strong. They truly are two different types of games with only the developer in common.

[Elda]

Both are great different games.

[mandingo]

Jesus Christ they’re both great. Trash article

[OpenGL]

This is a really stupid "article" and the author's tastes are questionable. Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy have better shooting mechanics than TLOU and more exploration. Both games try too hard to be movies at times but TLOU is much worse with its abuse of the "walking cutscene" and pointless QTEs. Hold forward while listening to exposition or mash triangle to open a door, hopefully they realize that shit isn't fun in the sequel.

[Legacy212]

I enjoyed the last of us much more than uncharted. It's one of my favourite games but no need to bash uncharted calling it an Indiana Jones wanna be. Those games pushed their consoles and told amazing stories with amazing characters.

[Skankinruby]

Can't argue that. While being different types of games and as amazing as uncharted is its still not on the level of TLOU. With gameplay, character development, storytelling, TLOU can't be touched.

[Hardiman]

Completely different games though and different directions! Sure they both third person and developed by ND but that's about where the similarities stop!

[UNCHARTED2FANATIC]

Still like uncharted 2 over the last of us for both its amazing campaign and multiplayer. To be honest Tlou is overated, great game but its not the best game even on ps3 but i would say top 5. It definitely isn't better than red dead redemption

[UNCHARTED2FANATIC]

I think this is a troll. Godfather part 2? Lol Tlou barely even makes my top 5 games on ps3. Its overated

[Freeball]

Apples and oranges

[1nsomniac]

100% in every department!!

[BIGBOSS08]

Uncharted 2 is the best game naughty dog have ever made. It's one of those games you
Can play over and over again and enjoy.

[Mr Marvel]

Yes it is superior, but also superior to every other videogame too imo.

[RGB]

Yeah, I'd go with that, just reading the title. Both very similar in aspects but hugely different in others.
I think TLOU edges it because the story is meaningful, impactful and the world created & the gameplay is more grounded.
Thankfully, I can enjoy both.

[BenRC01]

And the sun is hot. Next....

[Skuletor]

Without Uncharted, we very well may never have gotten The Last of Us in the first place.

[BlackTar187]

Hell yes it is

they are way differant so my comment is kinda a joke but i would pick TLOU SP and 1000000% TLOU MP over Uncharted all day and 17x on sunday

[yeahokwhatever]

"The Uncharted Series is an Indiana Jones wannabe." Clickbaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiit

[Vanfernal]

That's like saying Schindler's List is superior to Indiana Jones. They have completely different tones and people like them for different reasons.

[Mr Marvel]

...and you'd be wrong.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is better. ;)

[DafunkyRebel]

True

[MadLad]

Depends on what you are looking for. Uncharted, though very well done, is really just your standard 3rd person shooter, with environmental traversal elements and some puzzling. The Last of Us tones down the shooter aspect a fair deal, and throws well done stealth and survival elements into the mix.

On a personal level, I find the Last of Us to be a more interesting product. Definitely my preferred title over the Uncharted series; but both are very well done experiences, that are good at what they aimed to achieve. Fantastic at what they aimed to achieve.

[_FantasmA_]

I've only played a little bit of Last of Us, but yep, that amount was better than all the Uncharted games combined.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I do enjoy the Uncharted series but I love The Last of Us more than any series I ever played.

[PhoenixUp]

Might as well throw Jak and Daxter into the mix if you’re needlessly comparing Naughty Dog franchises

[LP-Eleven]

Just reading the headline paragraph was enough for me. Had this been a way to analyze both series', and come up similarities/pros/cons, I would have been all for it. Instead, this reads like - "because I prefer The Last Of Us, Uncharted is bad".

[thisismyaccount]

Lets do a quick comparison :

TLOU

+ Characters
+ Story
+ Lore
+ MP
- gameplay

U1 to 4 + LL

+ Characters
+ Story to some extent, not on the same page as TLOU ... well /doh one is a distopia with zombies, the other a more realistic one (indiana jones)
+ Gameplay, varied
+ Locations, varied
+ Cinematic at its best
- MP

I prefer games that employ some sort of selfirony. TLOU while top notch, aint an easy pill to swallow. You either are mentally prepared or ya not to play TLOU for the 1st time. Quite gorey and hard topic, in stark contrast to the actiony, fun, collegial atmo in the Uncharted games.

In my book, both score equally well but pers. i would give Uncharted the slight advantage due Sully and all the other characters ...then again there are 5 uncharted games versus 1x TLOU so ;)

[Lokii]

No shit

[Flewid638]

And in other news, water is wet.

[Nacho_Z]

Only one game has enjoyable gameplay and it's not the one with all the bricks and ladders.

[Minute Man 721]

This is a fact. Uncharted 2 was the best in the series followed by U1, U4 then U3. Bought Lost Legacy but haven't played it. U4 was such a letdown

[The7Reaper]

Apples oranges.

[babadivad]

I'm in the Last of Us over Uncharted club as well. Although I know I'm in the vast minority with this thinking. The game just appealed to me more.

[medman]

Duh.

[jacksmith56]

well no shit its better then uncharted , but to say uncharted is a rip off is too harsh uncharted is a top notch adventure game , if only they make it more voilent and go for a 18+ more blood more realistic shooting experience

[Petebloodyonion]

I prefer Uncharted to Last of us
For me, Uncharted 2 is what an almost perfect game looks like.

As far as Last of us goes I strongly believe that if EA would have made the game instead of ND the game would have scored an 8 at best.

Let see: crappy end boss similar to the Mass effect 3 memes
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photo...
(replace marauder Shield by doctor and it's the same)

An ending as great as mass effect 3 (Honestly, the whole game you have Ellie who wants's you to love her and she wants to mater, but in the last chapter suddenly you feel for her but hey she wanted to die)

The last stage is rushed and completely botched: For the whole game, the mindlessly Infecteds are intelligent and can ambush you, stalk you, etc... but the trained marines can't get out of the predetermined pattern set for them to come get you and can be easily killed by naked Joel in COD style.

this:

The freaking long load time after some cheap instadeath from clicker (just a reminder that Castlevania Los2 got slammed hard because of similar scenario). Plus the cheap instadeath from clicker spawning next to you because triggering alert state spawns some nasties.

In the end, I enjoyed Last of us but no way that I can call this game a 10/10 masterpiece when it has several flaws from other game that got sunk for them ( Heck Agent 47 can drag a fallen corpse but this game can't but you still get penalized for the leaving the corpse in sight).

Now I have yet to see similar faults in Uncharted2 and that is why I prefer UC to Last of us.

I think the game play in UC is actually better overall. TLOU is solid in that department, and varied enough to keep it interesting, but UC still trumps it.

I do feel TLOU has a superior story though...and that's by design. The cinematic feel is different in both games. UC manages it through set pieces so it's more like a action movie, whereas TLOU is more traditional with cut scenes, but the story is deeper and more focused. The story in TLOU stands on it's own without the game play elements, whereas UC would seem kind of silly in the story without the game play elements.

Hard to say one is outright superior than the other. They're both great games, and there is a point where it's hard to say that one great game is unequivocally better than another.

Uncharted is better cos it's got a jump button. History will repeat itself with the new God of War vs the old

Why even compare the two. Uncharted is a great franchise with the depth of narrative and character development as well as The Last of Us. What click bait bullshit is this? "An Indiana Jones Wannabe." Didn't realise Indiana Jones was born from the threshold of the games industry. Completely different mediums that share similar aspects, might as well say The Last of Us is a rip off of every movie that the depicts a similar narrative.

Why is this topic even on here?

I agree but that doesn't make Uncharted bad I still love 1-4 and Lost Legaxy

Its easily superior in my opinion.

Apples to oranges.
Both games deeply impressed me but to compare them is just stupid unchartered is a light hearted action adventure and tlou is a stealth based action adventure with occasional shoot outs.

I've played them all but they are not comparable it's like comparing Red dead and GTA because they are made by Rockstar

To me the Uncharted series is more like a fun Marvel movie that will do well at the Box Office. The Last of Us is a more serious drama that is more likely going to get an Academy Award. Nothing wrong with both, just different tones of games. That's how I see it...

[Inzo]

Nope.

[Rhythmattic]

Oh come on.. Both are superior to other exclusives.......Opps, "Console" exclusives... lol

[CrowbaitBob]

"Superior." Translation: please click please click please click please click.....

[coffeemaster]

I agree
