I can't help but picture MisterBubbles like this when I read his posts:



For the record, I've never played the online and never will, so I don't care if it's good or not!

So in the single player game there was the bug that made people lose say 3 to 5 hours of their progress, and everybody was like thats crap and people were pissed, so say in the MP you play for 5 hours and some slack jaw host decides to rage quit and in turn you get DC which the game thinks you backed out of now and punishes you, so all your progress of 5 hours is gone,
So whats the difference?, im pissed that this game has stupid basic game flaws that a dev of NG talents shouldnt be letting happen

[BaronSqwelch]

Playing NG+ and am checking up on plot points and random things as I go...a really nice touch I discovered...

->Open Spoiler<-

late in the game where Elly gives Sam the robot toy...in the toyshop where he first finds it and is told to ditch it I decided to follow Elly to check she really picks it up. Not only does she pick it up but she won't do it unless you are looking away and just twiddled her thumbs looking shifty til she thinks you are out of view!

Just completed this. What a great game, but the stealth immersion is spoilt. It does get better the further in you get. I really liked the brutality of it in places in terms of the story, nice to see a game developer do something a little more daring and more realistic.

Just got this yesterday after it being sold out a few places in Shepards Bush London where I was, finally found a copy. Only played about 2hrs but atmosphere is brilliant Defintely a more vulnerable main character than Drake ever was. Getting the impressions conserving ammo is key. For saying this is a PS3 game some of the graphical touches are amazing dreads to think how good Naughty Dog will make a PS4 game look, some of the environments here are truly beautiful.

10 hours in. Loving the combat! Really makes you think, and very kind re-start points, so it's not a chore to try different techniques.

Graphically it just gets better and better too. The story is classic "Walking Dead" but highly entertaining none the less.

Brilliant game.

The restart points are too kind if anything. Sometimes after I die I restart further into the area than I previously had been.

[Lebowski]

after a slow start I've really settled into this now, the last few sessions on this have been brilliant! some real fantastic characterization and some fantastic levels and scenery, I'm loving the scavenging and exploration. The creative way you can take down each enemy situation is great fun and has a lot more to it than most third person shooters,

story wise theirs some real twists and turns too (its an emotional roller-coaster) I don't think I've connected with or cared about two main characters in a game like this for ages. I think being a a parent really helps you identify just how broken and vulnerable Joels character .

[Golgo]

I just got through

->Open Spoiler<-

Bill's town section, and was amazed by the emotional power of the sequence where you discover his partner/boyfriend having hung himself. Just amazing. And then the later comic relief in the case of Ellie ogling the gay porn mag she's stolent from him

. It's true that the shine comes off a bit in the stealth sections due to AI clodhoppers occasionally blundering into the enemy but still, this is a superb game.

[JU!]

Wish I knew about that save glitch. Oh well, I started from scratch on survivor, such an amazing game. Playing it very differently from the last time. Think this is my goty, uncharted is no slouch in the story department. But they went far and beyond here.

I love this too. Trying different ways to do things after you die. I imagine too when I replay it on Survivor mode after normal I will approach situations very differently. Seems so many different ways to tackle each area.

So The Last of Us 2 or happy to just have it as it is.

[Mr M0by]

I definitely would like to play more Last of Us on PS4. As much as I've loved playing as Joel

->Open Spoiler<-

.......and Ellie - spoiler?

maybe they should pick up a new story. As a Firefly perhaps and approach it from a different angle. That might be what they have in mind for the forthcoming single player DLC though. Joel & Ellie could still make an appearance or return to them for Last of Us 3.

[Neon Ignition]

Despite my issues with the game I'd happily see a sequel, the room for remedying this games rough spots is perfectly capable on this gens hardware so on PS4 they should be able to expand on it a lot. I want to see new characters, a story that borrows less from common 'zombie' lore and more varied gameplay, ideally from having more than 3 common enemy types and constant box hiding. They made a good game but a much, much better game hides within.

But its a 10/10.

How could it possibly be improved? ;-)
