[PS3] The Last of Us

[mgoblue2290]

Oh I loved it. Too often games have a stealth element but don't punish you for being found. This is almost splinter cell-esque.

get good with Stealth kills.........it will become handy later in the game.

I found the Clickers to be pretty easy for the most part. Definitely the situation is the worst when there are Runners and anything else. Too many times I couldn't tell a Runner from a Clicker, shined my light right on him, and next thing I knew it was fucking bananas.

The bow is your friend! Excellent for both Runners and Clickers!

Yeah I can handle only facing clickers, sneak and shiv all day. The clickers oh shit factor multiplies by 100 when you throw other infected in the mix.

'The Last of Us' Has The Biggest Launch Of The Year With 1.3M Sold

We can talk about the review scores and the ending all we want, but there’s one more aspect of The Last of Us that we should be highlighting here. It’s the biggest game of the year so far, selling 1.3M copies in its first week, besting BioShock Infinite’s 1.16M sales over the same period, though you can take the unofficial numbers with a grain of salt.

Those aren’t Call of Duty numbers, but its hugely impressive anyway for a few reasons. First, this is a new IP, the first game (and possibly last) in a completely new and untested series. Yes, it’s from trusted developer Naughty Dog, behind PlayStation 3′s hit Uncharted trilogy, but it’s still a noteworthy accomplishment and speaks to the faith gamers place in the brand.

Secondly, this is an exclusive title for the PlayStation 3, unlike BioShock Infinite which was released on both PlayStation and Xbox, whose sales numbers combined to form that 1.16M. Very rarely can an exclusive titles put up numbers that best multi-platform AAA titles, but The Last of Us has simply struck a chord with gamers and reviewers alike in a way no exclusive, debut IP has in a very long time. This is a huge win for Sony , as they now have yet another exclusive notch in their belt that will prove to be a deciding factor in which console is picked by gamers in the coming war. Those firmly fixed in the Xbox camp are missing out on an incredible game right now.

Not very far in the game, maybe 20%, but I died at least 6 times in that room with like 4 infected runners and a clicker. As soon as I pissed it off and lost where it was, game over. Not many games can make so few enemies so tough. Also has a great atmosphere so far too.

I did the same thing, died multiple times...I was frustrated until I better utilized the listening mechanic where you can see where the enemies are.

One of my favorite strategies is to throw a glass bottle and lure all or most of them to it. Then hit them with a molotov and watch them buuuuuuuuuurrrrrrnnnnn.

I save all my molotovs for those fucking fart throwing bastards.

I need to get a headset, I play this shit without one and it's literally impossible. Could really be the downfall of the MP is the fact that communication sucks on the PS3.

Completed - Finished

18hrs 20min

Just about time to embark on my final journey of the campaign (well, at least for this playthrough).

 

[JayDizzle]

Started up some Hunter MP.

Shit is intense and if it's 4-on-1, you better have a nail bomb and decent aim.

Shiv's nice too.

 

[PepperNY]

holy shit, 60% into the game and I get my 1st trophy lol

 

[JayDizzle]

Finished my first night of MP.

Mics are a must to start with because if you can't communicate, it's the difference between getting mugged and rolling through the Scooby Doo Gang match after match.

Having limited Ammo hampers things a bit as well but with the system of either keeping all the Scrap you find for the end game total (to be swapped for a better Supply number for your clan) or pissing it away on personal armor and bullets... it definitely makes you think on your feet as you push forward through the "Weeks" system they have going on.

So far I'm keeping the amount of Supplies at a high enough level to accommodate the growing amount of people I have but I have a feeling that if I can't get an clip extension soon, it's going to get hairy.

Game's exciting enough to keep playing all in all.

Just finished the campaign. God dammit that game can trigger emotion like I've never seen before in a game. The writing and voice acting is absolutely top notch. Ellie is definitely in the running for my favorite character of this generation. Hopefully Troy Baker can keep delivering performances like this one (I know he's got the Joker in Arkham Origins and Delsin in inFAMOUS: Second Son coming up). Wasn't quite the ending I was expecting, but I'll take it. I don't even know what to say about Naughty Dog. Their game development is just at another level. I can't wait to see what the other team brings us in the next year or two.

Not sure what else to say since the spoiler tags aren't working lol.

I'll definitely have a review up on my blog at some point tomorrow and I'll post it in here as well.
