I didn't like it that much.
It looks nice, but I didn't enjoy the gameplay at all, I didn't connect to the characters at all, the story was pretty nothing, and any twists it had were pretty predictable.
The thing I was looking forward to the most was the AI and situations from the E3 demo, but that ended up not being in the game at all, so fuck it.

I didn't connect to the characters, and the story was nothing special.
That's it.
There was nothing really interesting going on with either Joel or Ellie. With Joel it's just muh daughter and then muh not-daughter, and then with Ellie later in the game it's just muh not-dad.
And the story is just going from point a to point b and meeting a bunch of people who aren't that interesting and either die or fuck off.

>>344248118
But there are many hints at character histories that give supreme depth to them while not forcefully stopping the story or the plot at a hault, such as the insinuations of Joel's relationship with the bandits and roguish past, the complexity in approach to portraying his ability to survive and very human reactions (well everybody's human reactions, insane acting abilities on display). There's a lot of poignant depth and nuance there, but you may have ignored it and rushed to see the game through. That's perhaps what Dunkey did on his first playthrough and why he changed his mind on the second and third and started examining all the lingering depth. Really, a lot of people shitting on Uncharted 4 are doing the same with the brilliant parallels between Captain Avery's story and Drake/Sam/Rafe's and the neverending lust for adventure and bounty sacrificing your livelihood and well-being i.e. madness.
>>
>>344242639
Having played the game on grounded like the idiots on here have suggested, I can say the game is incredibly linear. The melee combat is boring and is literally mashing one button. Stealth is incredibly tedious and lacks a quick kill option forcing you into a long choke out. Some sections force you to use stealth, which is fine because the stealth is much better than that God awful shooting. The story is like a shitty version of the children of men and 28 days later. The voice acting, animations and graphics are good so I'll give it that, but that's standard naughty dog.
>>
>>344248862
Wouldn't it be 28 Weeks Later since the kids have the immunity in that one?
>>
>>344248862
>The story is like a shitty version of the children of men and 28 days later
Flat wrong. Story is better with far better execution of exposition and plot progression in favor of how games work. There are no halts. There are undulations but that is how storytelling works. You can't have a constant barrage because then things are nullified and tension is lost.
>>
>>344248861
>But there are many hints at character histories that give supreme depth
Such as?

All I really got from Joel was that he liked his daughter and didn't like Ellie, then liked her.
And Ellie didn't like Joel that much, then liked him.
And Tess liked Joel and was kind of a bitch, then died.
And the black guy and his brother liked each other, and then they died.

It's been years since I've played the game, but none of them really left a lasting impression on me.

Didn't even care that much about the story anyway. The gameplay was pretty standard, too.
>>
>>344242639
It is good, nothing to write home about though.
>>
>>344248862
I've never seen Children of Men but 28 days later? Come the fuck on, dude. There is little to no depth or character development in that fucking movie. It's just dumb horror-action. Also, why the fuck do people keep saying the game is bad for being "unoriginal" in setting? So fucking what? It's execution that matters and it fucking nails it. It nails it so hard it pushes games forward and how they can touch people and invoke emotion and not be cardboardy video game characters with tonally inconsistent/hammy dialogue.
>>
>>344242639

I do agree that /v/'s hate for this game is a bit extreme, but it doesn't change the fact that
the game is "OK" at best. The game offers very little variety in terms of gameplay. If you sit down and play the game for an hour, you've pretty much seen everything the game has to offer as a game. The game can be for the most part be broken down into 3 sections that are repeated over and over. First what I like to call the "exposition" walk; where you make your way from point A to point B, where the story and characters have the majority of their development. Second, the obligatory "puzzle" section, which to me is the biggest offender. It's the biggest weakness the game has, and exposes how Naughty Dog sometimes struggles with the gameplay aspect, and it becomes even more glaring towards the end. You chalk all this up with the action/stealth segments, and that's it. The more you analyze it, the more it becomes apparent that the gameplay sections are glorified filler.

The game is undoubtedly carried by it's story, and atmosphere. Giving an "interesting" spin on the zombie apocalypse trope, which has been done to fucking death now. The only noteworthy sections of the game are the lead up towards the Winter section, and the winter section itself. The relationship between Ellie and Joel is also rushed as fuck, with the game blatantly screaming in your face "HEY, YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT THIS! ARE YOU CARING?" I do think that if the game was longer, the relationship between the two could have been God-Tier.

It's not a 10/10, and it's relevancy has drastically gone down since Uncharted 4 has taken the crown it once held.
>>
>>344249204
You don't know how humans work, do you, autist?

It's implications and interactions in tumultuous times that uncover people's agendas and pasts, not gushing about feelings and detailing everything on the floor. It's subdued realism that this game excels at. Naughty Dog expertly know how to deliver exposition that never feels forced. People don't have to be like how they are in dumb anime plots like something akin to zero escape where there's all these fucking overly detailed backstories that eventually somehow connect. People don't have that much wacky baggage.

I don't know why you're getting so upset I don't like the characters that much.
They just don't have much going on and aren't that interesting.
And you never gave me examples, also.
I mean, Joel goes from not liking Ellie at the beginning to liking her, so that's some character development, but it's not much.

I loved the game. Even the flaws I've seen pointed out are forgivable to me because the story affected me so much emotionally. The environment is beautiful, the soundtrack is great, the character development is fun to watch. I think people think this was supposed to be just another zombie game, but I think the real point of The Last of Us was the relationship between Joel and Ellie, and how a man with a fucked up past learned to connect and love someone again. Of course the plot isn't particularly original, it's been done plenty of times before, but it's a decent story that was presented very well. I thought the combat was very satisfying and challenging. The winter season was particularly good. I think the issue with this game for people is that they failed to connect with the characters. If you don't give a shit about the story element you won't like this game.
>>
>>344251360
I don't think it's nearly as bad as you're trying to make it out to be. The AI isn't state-of-the-art or anything, but overall I thought it was quite good. Friendlies don't get in the way too often, and they made the right decision by making it so they won't give away your position. Only rarely do they get so close to an enemy that the enemy should have spotted them. Maybe enemies do generally move in the same paths, but once you're spotted I think it's pretty impressive as to how tactfully they move around. They'll flank you, move cover to cover, and so forth.

I could try to address many of your other points, but I honestly don't feel like it. It just sounds like you're just very frustrated from playing on Grounded Mode. I didn't really have any complaints after playing the game on Normal and then Survivor. Comparatively, I would say the AI is better than most games out there. We aren't at a point where AI can be considered very realistic, but I still felt this game made me think carefully about my movements and try to figure out what the AI would do.

10/10.

They made Elie act like a fucking angel and they made sure of that. She listen to whatever you said to the dot, she NEVER stepped out of line and was rude, just you could feel emotionally attached. No kid, girl or boy, acts that way. Also, talking about gender, you could've easily made Elie to a boy and it would not make a fucking difference. Gives something to think about the writers quality.

You didn't explain how the story is not shitty. You just spouted words from a thesaurus make yourself sound intelligent. You also have not placed a real counter argument, but just said I'm wrong, without actually proving me wrong.
>>344249527
You're not addressing my argument directly and are trying to side step the whole thing. Also 28 days did have character development in it, but you're obviously to stupid to even see it. The reason why it gets shit on for being unoriginal is that it doesn't do anything to distinguish itself from the content it's clearly inspired by. The execution, was overall weak and didn't do much for the medium of video game's. If it did as much as you said it did video games would be respected, but they still aren't and they're still viewed as mindless entertainment.

Video games are a shit "Hobby" because garbage people like Colin are considered "top" in the gaming "journalist" list. Same goes for Jim Sterling, Total Biscuit, Angry Joe...etc. All of those are man-children and give the correct vibe on what the video game "culture" is.

the game is a pathetic mix of gears of war and the road.

You can't try and make a grounded character study with a multiple body count action scene every twenty minutes. TLoU is deep fiction through the eyes of a 14 year old. On top of that the writing isn't even very note worthy. The dialogue between Joel and his chick friend is marvel tier quipshit.

The game has a lot of bugs that can completely ruin the experience.

If you don't care about the story in games(ie someone who enjoys video games and not just some sheep) you have segments where you are forced to walk down a corridor, road, whatever, towards your next objective, doing nothing but walking and listening to exposition. If you put story in a game, let me skip it and not shove it down my throat.

The game is missing A - LOT of promised material, like the balance of power AI system that was flaunted in front of the drooling sonyggers, but it was missing from the game. Funny how reviewers seem to leave out missing content, almost as if they were paid to do this, or they are people who shouldn't review games.... or both, looking at you IGN.

Ham fisted forced "progressive" homosexual/interacial couple.

If you DO care about the story of a game more than gameplay(don't know why you would, shit gameplay can't be ignored, shit story can), the story is mediocre, generic, and nothing we haven't seen done a thousand times before in numerous apocalypse movies.

Also, just because the majority of people agree on something, doesn't mean that something becomes fact. Wez not orkz ya git.

Not the person you're at war with, but as with all dichotomies this is a false one.

Lots of games, like every telltale ever made, Until Dawn, Outlast, pro-league competitive stuff (this is just off the top of my head) are really trying to make interaction matter through choice, yet they give basically the same or else a different but equal experience (playing basketball versus watching pros type thing).

Other games, like Brothers, RPGs with a high level of customization, or even the modern Special Snowflake generators of character creation do have a different level of interactivity than other mediums.

Positives as in better acting than in any game prior, more grounded realistic characters than anything prior, beautifully streamlined onthefly crafting system, wonderfully tense shaky, dire straits gunplay, wonderfully detailed world teeming with subdued lore, tense stealth segments that feel as though tides can be turned at any second on grounded with every bullet and punch counting, nuanced character interactions with realistic inflections, fantastic delivery of exposition, weight and vulnerability given to characters, undulating plot with constantly dour moments of hopelessness.

There's lots of depth to the story though as already described earlier in this thread, and it's the execution of it all that especially lends itself to replayability because there are so many things you may not have picked up on that may shed light on plot points, character interactions, or the ending. And the execution is top-caliber. Everything is so grounded, nuanced, and realistic. What do you need for a story to be "memorable" or spectacular? Exaggerations and tonal inconsistency to leave overly silly videogame-y or cartoonish moments/dialogue?
>>
>>344242639
I don't like it, but I don't think it has much to do why most people on /v/ bitch about it. The go-to shitpost was calling it a "movie" which made no sense, or bitching about the AI, which could be seen as disappointing compared to how they chose to frame it at the game's E3 presentation but doesn't really matter much to me because the AI works acceptably for my tastes. The issue I have with it is that the encounters just aren't interesting enough to me, and I really don't like how the TPS controls feel (camera moves way too damn slow and has this really awkward sway).

It's a good-looking and well-presented, but otherwise mediocre, game. I don't really understand the praise for it, but then again, I don't really understand the praise for a lot of games that are highly popular from every age, so that's nothing new for me.

It received fair criticism at first for being yet another disingenuous E3 hype game, that promised this hyper-realistic AI, and then delivered something obviously bland, if not mediocre. This would be fine if that was the continued criticism, but the game doesn't have a lot else to criticize harshly despite that, so /v/ fell on the fact that it's "cinematic, an therefore a movie not a game."

Which is bullshit when you compare it to an actual movie game like the Order, which filled itself with bloated cutscenes. The cutscenes in TLoU were actually pretty short since they let you have optional conversations in exploration sequences instead of more cutscenes. Frankly, I never felt like game play was sacrificed to serve the story like many claim, I think the two were kept as in tandem as possible, the gameplay was just disappointing at first because the story took a while to pick up, and once again, was suffering the weight of the hype.

too much forced walking I suppose, but a cinematic game isn't automatically a bad thing. it had really good atmosphere.

>there are better movies that have better storytelling
I hate this argument. Name one game that nails the execution of TLOU. The best "story" games that people tout are RPGs that have disjointed dialogue and shitty animations/execution (any game by Bioware, Bethesda, Squeenix). Hell even Rockstar games don't drive the character nail home the way TLOU does (that has more to do with setting and tone, and game type though)

So criticising it's story and comparing it to the film medium is a moot point. Compared to all games, it stands out. I don't get what's so hard to accept about that.

>I don't care about story
Doesn't mean you have to shit on a good one.

>walking simulator
This is pacing and exposition. I don't get this ADD era of "give me action 24/7 and let me rush from A to B ASAP." Play Vanquish if you want that shit and if you don't care about story.

>the stealth sucks
Literally has no stealth gadgets like in Splinter Cell, MGS, or even Assassins Creed games. It's some dude who can't even jump and upgrades his melee weapons by binding scissors to them with tape. What are you expecting?

>Not fun
The game is stressful. This is tension/atmosphere at play. It's not even fear. It's a grounded story that constantly takes away every minor victory from the player using fucked up scenarios. And cliche as some things may be, the execution and tone made it not so. I'm tired of playing games where "the good guy was bad the whole time!" Or "you were the bad guy all along!" I've seen it all. TLOU brought something new.

There's value in that. It's complex. Still Naughty Dog's crowning achievement. A sequel won't be nearly as good. Toughest act to follow in gaming.

I say videogame-y because The Last of Us has movie-quality storytelling, but you clearly don't know what that involves or entails. Shitposters like you don't even know what they're talking about. And Matthewmatosis, the one that clearly also understands genuinely fantastic writing shitted all over bioshock infinite because he felt video game journalists "lauded" it as art to justify their existences, but he says that the writing and execution of storytelling in The Last of Us is nothing short of a masterpiece and only marred by shortcomings in the ps3 a.i. Even the guy in the rev3 video I showed with the man that was a graduated film major agrees that Last of Us is top-caliber stuff in terms of storytelling and hooking the player in with sharp execution and nuanced multi-layered and grounded depth and humanity given to its characters and their individual motivations. No hokey humdrum bullshit and tonally inconsistent dialogue. The Last of Us is groundbreaking for this. It's groundbreaking in pushing the possibilities of interactive storytelling.

And Undertale along with games with cutesy cardboard characters that occasionally have swathes of forced overextensive baggage are what "the best game stories" have been pidgeonholed in.

They're not compelling realistic stories with genuine human weight. They're cartoons.

It's funny that you say something like this because animation works in a different way in the film medium, which the academy awards retards don't even understand, the same case that we have here, videogames as a medium should have it's own way of storytelling, not appeal to a different one, as The Last of Us do.

Now now, its his opinion that MGS3 is a shit story. No need for that.

Wait for him to provide a retort to the rest of my post, then we can laugh at him.

Last of Us had constant audio desyncs, character animations quitting, character despawns, entire levels wouldn't load, etc. and it killed my PS3, fuck that game.

Not even MGSV with it's constant explosions, gun shows, and shit going on killed my PS3.

Are you saying that if a story doesn't involve human concepts it can't carry a weight?

You are the same as people dissing the game just because it has zombies.

TLOU was a decent game but jesus you act like if it's the pinnicale of video games.

I own a ps3, and I don't like TLOU.

I can debunk your claims all day, anon. Run along back to neogaf and tell your sonydrone brothers about me, tell them to stay off of 4chan or risk being made a fool of by a tripfag with facts and logic.

Might want to leave out the fag part, as your SJW overlords wouldn't like that.

The pacing in the game is shit, and exposition in general is shit.

What I'm expecting? Melee enemies that hide behind corners when you have a gun instead of just charging you like dumbasses, IE what was shown in the demo.

I consider my PS3 as fun to play with as my Wii. I've since moved on from those consoles and started to work on my backlog, but I enjoy the PS3. Its a good mutliplat machine. Bought it mostly for MVC3 and Anarchy Reigns, since the shitbox360 forces you to pay for online service.

Also, godhand and fat princess are fun, where as the 360 has no exclusives I care for.

Infamous is OK, got it from PSN being down for like a month. I was always one to defend the PS3, even at that point, because one time XBL was down for a while, except people forgot about that when the PSN was down. I even argued for it when people said "ps3 has no gaemz".

Now however, I regret ever doing that.

Again, the story is outrageous and I love it. It's inconceivable to think that you "honestly feel" it has a better story. And yes, I mean plot, storytelling, and execution. There are parts that work super well (last boss, boss fights), but it's a jumbled up mess.

>skip cutscenes
I'm 99% sure you could do that. It takes a few seconds before you can, but you can. But why disrespect the craft? If you're playing TLOU solely for gameplay then you have poor judgement and should exclusively stick to the multiplayer mode.

>the live demo
I was expecting none of that to make it in the game and it all did. Some enemies yell "he's got a fucking gun" and their behavior changes. I'm sure it's not every time you encounter them, but I've seen it. They yell when you're out of ammo and they move in/flank. They plead when you're about to kill them. The only real hitch in AI is how distracted they become with thrown objects and how they ignore Ellie etc. but yea the live demo was packed with a lot of shit, and it's highly unlikely every piece of that would happen in one encounter like it did (like Ellie helping out, etc). When it does happen it's great. Especially when Ellie brags or tries to impress you. It's endearing.

>toughest act to follow
By default the elements you speak of are within this game. So a sequel to this game would be tough to follow by ND because of how well done and impressionable it was.

>movie/game
Zootopia shits on 99% of films in existence. Many people wouldn't admit it's a "masterpiece," even though it nails the "establish everything" in the first 5 minutes, follows the typical plot curve, is clever, and has a happy ending

I'm not here all day and can't recall ever browsing a Last of Us thread. I just know from mentioning of the Last of Us incurs unbridled hatred or sighs of "meh" which is honestly baffling coming from a game enthusiast board. And I knew that opinions were regurgitated by those mentioned in the OP to disprove the quality of other games in order to justify their feelings without even trying and acting as if their opinion was law, so I decided to use that logic against /v/.

>>344242639
You act as though /v/ is a hivemind. Other people may enjoy this supposed "game", but it's pretty much a long movie with gameplay sprinkled in. Other games have done the gameplay better, and other mediums have nailed the tropes and themes this game has tread.

Agreed, but compared to other games the shitty dumpster "puzzles" don't detract that much.

>>344260809

I don't understand this argument, it has more gameplay than the average modern corridor fps/tps.

>I'm 99% sure you could do that. It takes a few seconds before you can, but you can.
Alright, I didn't say cutscenes. I was directing my argument towards the long walking segments without combat or a purpose aside from some NPC telling you exposition. You can't skip those segments.
>I was expecting none of that to make it in the game and it all did.
No, it didn't.

You made a broad statement, and then you made a more specific statement.

Yes, its a tough act to follow, if there is a sequel, made by naughty dog. However, that is usually the case with any game that has a good first installment. Look at batman arkham asylum.
>Zootopia shits on 99% of films in existence
I like how you(or someone else) say my argument is out the window cause I like MGS3's story, but then you praise that furr shit.

>>344260810
This is accurate?
>>
>>344260809
I don't know any other game with as satisfying brutal melee or shaky tense gunplay.

In most games, you don't play an average guy, you play an overpowered badass with sharp trained precision. I like the loose vulnerability and sharp taut presentation the Last of Us offers and feel it's subversive to standard video game tropes and cliches. That alone is groundbreaking to me.

The gunplay is in no way on the same level of intensity. Old doesn't mean better. There may be the inaccuracy to the guns that are there, but the weight, shakiness, and power is in no way there. Also the camera perspective helps put you into perspective and doesn't leave you detached as some lurking wanderer watching action play from oblong angles.

>In most games, you don't play an average guy, you play an overpowered badass with sharp trained precision.

At first you may have an argument since the gameplay is just fine but i can recall many games where the protagonist wasn't a badass.

I recommend you to play more videogames before calling something groundbreaking.

Great, so you actually know dick about film.

So riddle me once more about how there are better films than TLOU, when your knowledge on (apparently) both gaming and film fields are narrow.

I mean even your trip exposes you as some weeb. You probably think AkibaStrip is a good game. And you probably buy the yearly Atelier release.

Oh and once more
>fur shit
If you think Disney, the company who's mascot of 75+(?) years is a half naked anthropomorphic mouse, is attempting to appeal to the incredibly niche and weird demographic of furries, utilizing a blockbuster film who's very existence must be sink or swim, with investors to satisfy and pedigree to live up to, then you're lethargic.

And that's a FUN film for all ages. Unless you sit in a corner all day and complain about how mom doesn't love you, and that being a teenager is a drab, then I suppose you're just edgy enough to fit it with the billion people who have the same mindset but would "never understand you."

then play resident evil 4.

>>344261572
I said in most games. And no game before has the execution the last of us has. Name another game where you actually move like a human being. Survival horror games only render you to move like a tank, but Last of Us pushes it further by giving you freer range of movement while still restricting you.

You would also know that as a blockbuster film it tries to play it as safe as possible trying to pander as many people possible instead of being something worthy of the medium. You calling it "best than 99% of films in existence" says pretty much that you know dick about film

>>344261108
Pajeet, when my girlfriend and I watched it, we cracked up, and it follows a successful film formula. You literally have to be a sour scene kid to hate on it. Or maybe you just didn't see it which is fine. It's clever and fun. You're allowed to have fun in between all the scowls and furrowed brows you throw around all day.

Which makes you disdain for TLOU all the more vexing. Maybe you had a bad day or sub optimal playing conditions. Whatever the case, as a gamer who has played/cleared over a thousand, I wholeheartedly confess that TLOU is a good game and is worth playing, and that anyone who hates on it is being a contrarian faggot. Or maybe you just prefer South Korean games based on your favorite Mongolian animes

>>344261009

Last of Us was okay.
Was mostly disappointed in my first playthrough after hearing so much about the story yet the most important part of the narrative(The two main characters relation) and then there is a stealth segment where Ellie just ran around enemies.
