Miyakolover Again, you don't pay attention. The story is their relationship. They are bonding. And they also have great chemistry together. None of it is forced.

As far as I know, people were upset that it wasn't what they thought it was. In this case, it looked like a found footage movie. Of course, it wasn't, but at points it was shot like one. It's one of my Halloween go to movies, though, because of how deep it's willing to go. There are a lot of themes that I've seen only a few American horror movies go to that this nailed.

Yeh I rarely get scared and this did. good job

It looks like it. He went on my first "The Last of Us" rant to tell people, in different words, to look at Angry Joe for a real review. He's done this to other people who had different opinions, too.

thewindowkeeper Oh wow. Like he's gonna be the one to change the tide of reviews on "The Last Of Us" by controlling the masses to look at more "positive" reviews, giving his life purpose it sounds like. Honestly, I never got the hype with that game, people praised it for being original, but it's not, in any way, shape or form, nor is it a perfect game, as many videos have proven the game is buggy. Not buggy to the point the game is unplayable, but certainly noticeable.

***** Exactly. I played the remaster of it, just so I could say I beat it and make a final judgment, but I still don't see the appeal. I didn't find it emotional, and I didn't relate or sympathize with the characters or the plot. As it is, it isn't the stand out game as a few Indie games the world has seen in the past few years.

thewindowkeeper Agreed, there are plenty of other indie games that deserved more praise than this. For example, I found the back story to FNAF more interesting and emotional. I mean, regardless how people feel about "jump scares" and the quality/gameplay of the games, the hidden story is what kept me waiting for the next game.

Admittedly, there are few horror movies where I find the main character likable, and this wasn't one of them. But, to this movie's credit, I do think that was the point. He was even asked by his sister to stop, and he just didn't, even for the sake of his daughter. Also, the ant in his eye... I don't handle eye horror well at all. That was just... eww.

thewindowkeeper Oh I'm not saying all horror movies don't have likeable characters, I agree with you there, but in this instance, he isn't and for good reason. He's one of those stuck up jackasses who think because they don't believe in God or the Devil or the paranormal, that means he's the smartest person in the world and everyone is below him. And I agree with you there, I hate eye horror...and ear horror....and jaw horror. That's why I'll never watch "Mirrors" again, I hated that bathtub, jaw ripping scene.

theswiftmcgyver Everyone else is a fucking idiot. The fuck would I be "hating," on them for?

You and me both, mate. On top of being a cliched story that did nothing...you can also argue there is no story whatsoever...we got a premise that doesn't change or is affected by any of the events happening because there is no narrative complexity to make things interesting. Joel and Ellie just wander around for a full year just getting into trouble without any progress...and when they finally reach their destination, Joel simply decides to make the whole journey pointless with his last decision...making everything a complete waste of time when you realize the outcome of the journey when it ended is the same when started...if Joel and Ellie died or sat on their asses and do nothing...it wouldn't change anything.

Miyakolover pay attention. The Last Of Us is about Joel and Ellie. They start as two people who dont really want to be with one another and they end up loving each other as family. The cure for the infection? That was just a plot device, really. If you dont think that the story in TLOU was handled amazingly then it seems to me that you hardly know how good storytelling works.

FRENZZY MENZZY im not speaking of gameplay im talking about it's reputation and the way it is held above the other games on the console.

FRENZZY MENZZY either the last of us or God of war.

FRENZZY MENZZY uncharted has been out longer then God of War?

FRENZZY MENZZY the original God of war and God of war 2 were both on the PS2 dude XD

FRENZZY MENZZY which is totally why Kratos is the poster child for the playstation now.

But, the story isn't as natural as it could be. The beginning of the game shows promise, but then, it cuts to twenty years later, introducing characters that we have no back ground to at all. This means we don't have the context of these characters that the main characters do. This also means that, if I don't know the characters in the same context, I'm not going to have the emotional impact that is expected. This is especially when the characters are so short lived. As for being immersive,it felt too limited for me to be immersed in it, and not just with puzzles. The combat was limited to shorting poorly, or fist fighting. Okay, even though he's had twenty years of experience. But, what about survival techniques? Only a few items can be made, and... that's about it.

Sorry for the long reply. I wasn't going into this with the "Impress Me" thing in mind. If I did, I'd hate half of the games I love. But, I've had so many people saying how this game was impressive, that it is hard not to feel underwhelmed for not liking it. The big issues were that the story left me really confused with characters it introduced after the time jump, and the fact that the survival mechanics where fight and hide, both of which were sub par. Is there a good reason Joel can't aim straight? I can see how a lead pipe would be cumbersome, but why are my fists a better weapon?, It breaks survival instinct if I have to resort punching a guy to death a close range because all of my melee weapons suck. Now, if it told the story of what happened between the beginning, and meeting Ellie, personally, I would find that more interesting.

how are your fist a better weapon?( i wouldn't know because i only used them when i needed to, the thought of fighting dudes with highly contagious fungi with my fist was never appealing to me) as for the combat in general, it was amazing. The viability of every approach was liberating and philosophy of combat was natural, For the most part stealth was not treated as a way to play the game, but more as a necessity of the game, as drawing enemies through a fire fight would bring unnecessary danger and loss of resources. However despite this necessity, getting caught was also another part of the game that was thoroughly thought out. Too often in stealth action games, are players penalized with a grades or negative consequence for getting caught in the game, often times leading to a game over screen or a chart saying how much of shitty ninja you are, but in the last of us that is not so. The developers wanted players to get caught and figure out ways to escape those particular predicaments. Frantic improvisation was one of my favorite parts of the game. I would be sneakily taking out guys only to get caught, so i quickly shoot a guy and take him hostage to make my quick getaway. From there i do classic shootout with the enemies. I don't know about you, but that's cinema material. As for the story point where you are thrown into the world with no context, well i think trying to give exposition of everything that happened to Joel and his friends and the world would be boring and unrealistic to see in the game. Do you want a cut scene leading up to this point or play a lot of meaningless gameplay just to see more exposition. The story is minimalistic, giving players enough information to care for what really matters. I could say more but i think you should watch the video "Everything the last of us gets right" would say everything i wanted to say in more elegant way.

randy ho I mainly used my fists in the stealth segments against the people. At least, I tried, until the swing of the pipe was too slow to make contact before dying. It ends up being more of a speed vs strength battle, where the faster weapon wins. While I can see what you're saying about stealth and getting caught (I honestly think grading purely on stealth in a stealth/action is a bit inane myself),and I do agree to an extent, I found that causing a shoot out was a better way to get things done than sneaking. It's not just The Last of Us that had this issue (looking at you, Hitman). Frankly, in my opinion, Dishonored did the thinking-on-your-feet better, but to each their own. Finally, the no context thing. I did a follow up video last night where I came up with this suggestion: a DLC where you play as Joel during those twenty years between the beginning and the main game, where you learn the survival skills. There's all ready an Ellie DLC coming out. What irked me more, though, was being introduced to characters that, I felt, were important to Joel, but the introductions were rushed. In the case of Bob, I had no idea who he was other than "we have to kill him." I thought Bob was Joel's brother until later on in the same part (I'm terrible with names). I felt no connection between any of the characters aside from Joel because of this. And, as a writer, that bothers me when I do it. But, also, as a gamer, I felt that, even being minimalistic, the story didn't give me much to care about when all was said and done.

derrick yasha ...no
