The Last Of Us PS3 Reviews review

[bash]

I've restarted this on normal mode as hard mode was just getting on my nerves and I just want to clock the mother fooker now.

[Brad]

Ok this is very good but it's pissing me off royally. Room full of clickers and tess and ellie are literally running into them, blocking their path etc. Then, to cap it all, just as I spotted our exit, Tess OPENS FIRE on a clicker about 15m away FOR NO REASON.

I hope the frustrations don't stop me playing this but last night they did.

[Brad]

Ok that was brilliant. I was screaming at the tv in frustration. Can't remember the last time that happened

[nakamura]

Luckily there are only a few occasions when that is an issue. Normally when a second AI is with you.

[Brad]

Yeah hasn't happened mich when iy does it's a terrible immersion killer

[Si Man 87]

The 'getting caught and running away' option is fun as well, though. Always turns up new movement and search patterns in the enemy AI.

I thought it was brilliant that getting caught changed the search patterns of the enemy AI if you managed to get away, no easy option of going the same again but actually having to think up a new plan of action entirely.

[Brad]

Of all the things that would stop working after a zombie apocalypse. Mirrors! Who'd have thought it!?

This continues to be superb. Had the game not trigger the end of an encounter though. Also had a floodlight render as a white rectangle and enemies running round in circles like a dog chasing its tail. Quite surprised to see these bugs in a nd game. As I say though, still amazing

There are a ton of bugs later in the game, I was actually astonished how the QA team missed them. A lot of them revolve around the Ellie section.

The one point where Ellie is running down the hill to escape if you manage to do that quickly the game will always fail to load the next section of the game I had about an 80% repro on this so I ended up going off the end of the world multiple times.

[Brad]

Just finished this. A masterpiece and one of the best games ever made. I will buy a ps4 if naughty dog are developing for it.

I genuinely thought from your previous posts you would mark the game down, pleased to see that overall it won you over. I'm going to start my second playthrough tonight after having replayed all the uncharted games again, it'll be interesting to have that fresh comparison in my head. Well, assuming my PS3 doesn't die again.

[Brad]

Yeah there were issues aplenty but all overshadowed by the total brilliance of the whole package.

Here's a floodlight rendered as a nice white square!

[Colin]

I never got anything like that on my first playthrough, my only real irk was the stupid AI around the clickers etc.

[Brad]

My mate at work had no issues either. I had:

Graphics rendering as untextured polygons.
Joel and Ellie occupying the same space i.e. Ellie was inside joel with her arms sticking out his chest and back lol.
Ellie appearing from nowhere.
Ellie rapidly sliding across the screen.

[bash]

Yup, I had that, also low res textures on parking meters and walls. This is for me why the game is not a 10/10 as I;ve said earlier. Also loading times are looooong

[Colin]

It seems to be that the game works differently on the different versions of the PS3, as people with different machines are experiencing varying issues. Still the best game I've played in god knows how long though, the niggles in no way stop it being an utter classic for me personally.
