The Last Of Us PS3 Reviews review

[nakamura]

Sounds a lot like you want to pick every single fault about this game that you can to me.

Not really as i am enjoying it; i'm merely highlighting flaws that annoy me.

[nakamura]

Fair enough, but if you are highlighting that one man sounds like another man then life must be one let down after another.

But the MP is broken, as others have said it's so unbalanced its unreal, so you got players with better perks and weapons, so it's easier for them too kill you, but what does this game do, it rewards them and lets them buy armor, which in turn makes it easier to kill you, see the unbalanced gameplay Dog? Plus there nothing to do except camp, God i hate COD for this, but this game takes that and totally PWNS it. The quote from the dev is totally laughable, ' The best multiplayer ever conceived ' pull the other one mate. God am i going to even say this COD PWNS this.

I've been playing MP a little and at first was not getting anywhere but after I went for a custom load out and the shiv perk (the one where you start a round/respawn with one) and used listen mode more I found I was getting more kills irrespective of the other players perks/armour.

Granted there is always going to be unbalanced nature of perks and the amount people play but playing with people you know and working well together really is the key.

Troy Baker sounds nothing like Nolan North.

I guess i'll need to get the lugs cleaned out then!

No one starts off with armour. You craft it by trying to get yourself into safe positions where you can safely scavenge stuff, which is clearly marked on the map. Higher level perks and weapons are no different to Battlefield or anything else. Played as an extension of the singleplayer game - sneaking, listening and crafting - it is possible to hold your own even against much higher level players. This is not possible however if everyone's sprinting blindly around corners into ambushes and onto bomb traps, etc., forgetting to do the key things, and shouting "****ing **** did you ****ing see that?!?!" at every opportunity.

EDIT: as plopboy said.

[teddymeow]

Yep, with a well communicating team and a little map knowledge it's possible to destroy any team.

I'm at Week 5 and play with two other Week 5 and a starred Week 12 and we do pretty well when we work together. All it takes, however, is one to do a Rambo and it's game over man, game over!!

TOTALLY BROKEN, so if you disconnect through no fault of your own, you get ****** over and lose some of your survivors.

Was playing rank 0- 5 and was holding my own, why no lobby where rank 0- 5 can't be put with high rank , then say 6-10 only fight each other. So basic, you f******* think i should be a dev.

I didn't understand the load times discussion (as there isn't any) until I saw this:

I'm on a PHAT PS3 with SSD Drive and digital install. It took ages to download the game (About 36 thumb twiddling minutes) but I can confirm load times are about 10 seconds.

I laughed at this. Don't know if I agree with the "review" because I'm not far in the game... The A.I. doesn't seem very good though, you notice that pretty early in the game.

[rmoxon]

I haven't had too many problems with the A.I. besides a few truly hilarious glitchy moments. At one point several human enemies were chasing me, and they all got stuck on a staircase, they were running up and down it and spinning all over the place, all while screaming "quick, get him!". So I just stood at the bottom and shot them one by one.

For most part though the A.I. Hasn't been that bad for me. Its decent. Like I said earlier in the thread, despite its faults I actually like the fact that the A.I. seems less predicable than in more "gamey" experiences like Metal Gear Solid. It makes encounters feel more more like real and intense combat situations and less like mini puzzle moments (at least until they glitch up anyway).

The seemingly random nature of some enemies reactions probably isn't very fair to the player, but then I played Uncharted 3, which had enemies that teleported directly behind you and blew your head off with a shotgun. So after that anything seems fair.

Don't disconnects get counted as a loss in most multiplayer games? You know, to stop cheaters pulling the plug when things aren't going their way?
