Last of Us [PS4]

I'm not far into the game either, but I think the key is exactly the scene mentioned above.
Your reaction to that scene 'creates an emotional storyline' that you instinctively understand... 5 minutes of CGI video and someone shouting 'the galaxy is going to be destroyed!' doesn't.
Yep
Its the combination of everything. If the beginning of the game is any indication, where other games throw at you an intrusive cut scene, Last of Us takes the same scene, and makes you participate in it. It blends it masterfully with gameplay and interaction. In other games they are mostly disjointed and the transitions feel "mechanical" and artificial.
Its unfair for such a well crafted title to isolate gameplay away from the other parts of the game when its the sum of everything that makes it so good.
Using the same logic, the absence of the gameplay would have made it a poor title as well
It convey the story though cutscene and gameplay.
I already know that ellie are hating this condition from the way she walk and keep walk distance from Joel.
I know that she does not think Joel as a horrible person.
Just keep playing and many small things that shown while in gameplay will stick to you and make you understand that there's a story here. It's not just a man that on escorts job and simply killing people

Yea! my PS3 is here. I bought one, this late in the life cycle, just to play this game. I've only seen youtube videos and I already love the game and its characters. Luckily I resisted the urge to watch the whole game, just saw parts of it.
I think one of the unique thing about the voice acting is that the actors are doing the motion captures at the same time they are doing the voice acting. So they are acting out the scenes with fellow actors, not just sitting in a static booth doing the voice. I'm sure they did ADR also, but tv & movies do that too.

This game made me a happy gamer again. I played around 30 minutes last night and I was blown away, totally immersed. I havent felt like that about a game since I was a kid. Its like the times when I couldnt wait for the next morning to come to continue playing my newest game
How did they do it? They blend the story, the characters and the interaction so naturally and beautifully that you dont feel disconnected from the game's world. It feels believable.
I got touched in the very first moments of the game. No other game has ever managed to make my eyes wet so soon.when Joel had his first casualty
I feel familiar and connected with the characters and I havent even played more than an hour.
Well done Naughty Dog
They have their way of adding scenes and events that the player have no direct control of without making them intrusive and disconnected from the player. For some reason the player is like he is always participating. Beautiful
You HAVE to play it on a large screen, surround sound and lights off. It totally deserves it!!
Good to see you enjoying it
! I knew you would like it ! Yes, it brought out the " I can't stop playing it " and "when I am not playing it, can't stop thinking about it " kid in me too ! Games had been missing that for a while now. last I found myself thinking about a game in bed was Far Cry 3, but that was just some plans I would make to try out in the game. This has brought back the SOTC feel back in me !Right now my niece n nephew have hijacked my ps3 for their UC3 co-op fix, otherwise I would have been replaying it even now !
make that 7.1. Specifically PS pulse elite headset with bassimpact and VSS. Nah I kid, any good HT with PCM 7.1.
yups, the transiftion from gameplay to pre rendered cutscene where player can do NOTHING is beautifully handled.
it never felt the game forces me to unable to do anything. or forces me to do something. It felt so natural that i do what the director want me to do.
as extreme example, i can play Rambo or Solid Snack on TLoU and the game works fine. The NPC also give nice response.
in other game? i will feel to be forced to play stealth or rambo.
In contrast, other game deliberately make me cant do anything and annoying.
/me remember BF3 1st mission on train and 2nd mission where we come out of jeep.

I feel the same SOTC was that game for me too. :smile:Good to see you enjoying it

A friend came to my place to show him the game. We started a new campaign so he wouldnt miss the brilliant intro. What can I say? He was hooked. He was playing probably for two hours straight. I enjoyed watching. He left because it was getting late. He was totally blown away.
Btw its not just the visuals that get an amazing attention to detail. Its also the sound. It was raining and then I found an abandoned bus. I went inside and the sound of the rain changed to "simulate" the way it would have sounded when inside the structure. You could hear the rain on the bus' roof instead of the generic use of rain sound like other games. Its simply amazing

I know this will never happen for home consoles, but one of my wishes for Oculus Rift is to adopt headphones system that will have not only standard 5.1/7.1 setup, but also speakers above and below the ears of the users.
The game is simply amazing. The best experience in gaming ever (well so far). This is as close to an inveractive story you can get...I don't want it to end but I know it must
Percentage counter does not count for collectible items or similar stuff. It only counts your progression trough the story.
You still have the best parts of the game in front of you, 5-6 hours of gameplay if you rush trough it.
Yes, I was aware (and shocked) as I has over 13 hours in!
Can't wait to play some more

i saved up the money for only one game . the last of us and gta 5 are what i would like to play this year . i really want to play the last of us but i am afraid of wasting the money like i did on uncharted 3 . my concern is in the gameplay side of TLOU . is it too uncharted because that game doesnt give me any replay value except for trophies . i am not interested in multiplayer so should i wait for the prices to go down and rather buy gta 5 or should i buy it ?
i know its got many 10s but i have suffered once buying uncharted 3 which also got many 10s.
