Last of Us [PS4]

A friend's friend who has got a review copy from Sony seems to think the game has a co-op mode, ala U3 ! :oops: I wonder what he means, he is saying it has Competitive co-op and competitve MP
 
Where do they show those commercials? We get different ones up here in Canada... that one is much more impressive than what is shown here. Why aren't they showing that everywhere?
 
Where do u set that? it never asked me any option, I had to fill my wallet everytime!

Through XMB, network, where billing information is.
I can't remember exactly where it is, and I can't post from home, my GTX 580 kicked the bucket two days ago, so no pc...
I'll check the menu when I get home from work, and post again tomorrow.:smile:

Okay ! I never checked the settings in the xmb, except for deleting billing info. Will chk it out.

BTW, just finished playing the demo......and wow ! Yes this game is gonna be something very special. Everytihng felt so invisible ! I mean I forgot I was lpaying a demo, I was lost exploring every room and even now my thoughts are '"I kthink I missed checking those stairs by going through that door. Should have checked them out '

And my encounter turned out to be very lifelike too. I was exploring the area to make a plan, got swarmed, managed to kill the clicker using a shiv and melee attacks, tot ally by chance , scared ran away ......no lpace to use a med kit.....turned around ....took chance ...shot at the runners......it worked ! Phew, I am alive !

Since I didn't die and there were no restarts, it felt so real !

And the best part seems to be the sound design, the noises we make in that silent desolate world are so loud ! And the realtime GI from the flashlight really adds that midas touch to exploring ! I am gonna love this game, and to add to all this.....the demo had no context.....but in the full game , what happens when the story gets u with all these technicalities well in place to make u immersed in the world ! I think this game will leave an imprint for years to come, IF the story works well.

A bug, i found a wall where the flashlight won't cast GI at all ;) !

Gotta go back and play the demo again :D
 
Is there a way for us that pre ordered to get the demo somehow?

No , actually :( ! I got lucky as one of the members on my local forum had GOW but he wasn't interested in this demo , so I asked him to make a new psn account, activate the demo on it and give me that acc. Thats how I got it ! Took days of scavenging through forums ! But it was all worth it !


Oh, by the way, I found a pendent on one of the trees ! Collectable for the win ! :p
 
Oh well, never mind.
To be honest, I don't care about the demo...
My trust in Naughty Dog, is absolute!
That way, nothing will be spoiled for me come release day. :)
 
Do play it Arwin, the gore or horror is all in the background, atleast going by this demo. You don't feel like u r in a horror game at all ! They have somehow kept it grounded in reality. Felt very special to me, very ! I was also unsure about this game, but the demo has me hooked and convinced.

Played the demo again and found so many more items than the last time. Was able to open a door using a knife, hence losing that knife but got lotsa supplies and in game currencies for it. Was able to upgrade my melee weapon too, the upgrades are lost with the weapon, so its something u will keep doing, as weapons break soon.

Also, again, my encounter went completely in an unexpected way. I can see ppl exploiting the 'listen' mode, but the game is much more fun wihout it as a level of randomness pops in as u really toally on ur brain, audio and guesswork regarding enemy position. Got swarmed again, buthad taken out two runners by then. Surprisingly, I ran away and was able to go back to stealth again ! They lost me :D ! Then , as I was scavenging for resources, as there were a lot around me, and I was tempted to look around, the thrid runner found me again. Smashed him with a brick and my melee weapon, then ran away from the clicker. Was trying to kill it with my revolver but he cam e too close , finished him off with a knife !

The demo is good, very very good ! Hope ND lets us preload this game. still haven't got any reply regarding preload from ND, On twitter.
 
Metacritic give it 95%. Out of 36 reviews, 26 are 100%, which just goes to show how scores can get skewed and be subjective. 75% from polygon. Perhaps Metacritic should present the interquartile average as well?
 
Mostly 10/10 everywhere, except Gamespot, they somehow gave it an 8 ! I haven't watched nay of the reviews and won't.

And the pathetic fanboys are losing their shit over it. Expected and kinda sad (after all 8/10 still means Great on GS for fuck's sake). Should make for a fine episode of Feedbackula at least. Great review though. One thing the industry needs just as much as less homogenized games are less homogenized opinions from critics as far as I'm concerned.
 
It's very telling when the ad's pre-rendered cgi version of joel and ellie looks worse than the game's. Dog, how I love how much NaughtyGod is raising the bar.

Is the review accurate and reasonable ? Probably should wait until we have played the game before we jump on anything.
