Damn you Sony for not putting backward compatibility in the PS4....

It will likely be a digital emulator of the PS3 and earlier systems downloadable from the PlayStation Store and available for those who have Playstation Plus accounts.

Best video game I ever played...period.

yup.  

it was a cinematic masterpiece. one of the few games where i really appreciated the cutscenes. it was so good.


the first few minutes of the game just broke me down. my heart was pounding, my hands where sweating and shaking. i was yelling to run faster, then bam.... my world shattered and a piece of me crumbled away with the main character.

it was amazing.



there was no running and gunning.

Well...I'd have to say it's definitely the best game I ever played, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws. I found myself frustrated at the game design more than once throughout the game but the story, characters, and environment just blew me away.

I dare you to try to find a bad review. The game just rocks.

I have it for the PS3. I can tell you that I will be buying another copy when it comes out for the PS4.

The PS4 version might have crisper graphics and run at a faster frame rate.  At the most some added content but with a game this good, it wouldn't stop me from buying it for PS3.

Don't get it.  It sucks.  It will ruin every other game you play.  You will constantly compare them to TLOU and they will come up short.

I am currently a Beta tester for the PlayStation Now service that will be made available to the public soon. I can't say much but what I can say is that it will be a service that you pay for, either monthly or per-game---it'll be up to you. I am impressed so far.

I have no desire to play the game (just not into video games anymore), but I watched a 3-hour long "movie" version of Last of Us on Youtube. It was surprisingly entertaining.

I bought a PS3 specifically to play The Last of Us. I've never done anything else with that PS3 and now it sits and collects dust.
It was totally worth it.

You won't be let down. This game is absolutely amazing, it's chalked full of emotion that most blockbuster movies can't even achieve. I picked up a PS3 solely for that game when it came out.

You guys are giving this game a lot of praise for what felt to me like several sessions of rinse wash repeat.  Not a bad game at all, good story, characters, makes you wish you had more at the end, but the playable sections at times felt like they ran out of ideas, or puzzles. Like how many times do I have to swim a pallet around?

Buy a used copy and and go at it. Seriously one of the best games I've ever played. If not the best. Super captivating story line, multiple approaches to everything. Stunning visual effects, and a musical score that fits the game like a glove.

Awesome story, takes the whole "zombie survival" genre to a new level.

I see them messing up a screen adaptation if it went to the big screen. Hollywood always messes that up. Everything from the characters, to the setting, to the main storyline has to be streamlined and I think that they couldn't fit in all the details that the game gives you. It's one of those instances like people who read the book when it comes out and are disappointed with everything they miss. Then you get that whole snarky "the book was better" comment, except now it will be "the game was better" which makes you want to go on a face punching rampage.

I'd wait for the PS4 version because it comes with all of the DLC as well as upgraded visuals and other tweaks (like a new difficulty level).  You'll be playing the best version of a great game.

Also, play it on Hard.  The normal difficulty really takes away from the suspense because supplies are everywhere.  Then after you beat it once you can play through again on normal or survival but Hard is the best balanced.

The gameplay isn't anything new or fresh but what makes TLOU stand out is the presentation and delivery of that presentation (the voice acting is terrific).  If you're a fan of Naughty Dog though, that shouldn't be a surprise.

It's definitely a game that I wish I could completely forget and play again fresh.  There were definitely some parts that made me go .

Also, the multiplayer is fantastic but, for whatever reason, seems to get overlooked.

While the game is an absolute must play I would wait at this point.

It will probably be out in 2-3 months and will have better graphics, frame rate(which was a bit of an issue on the PS3 version), and the DLC which at least the first one is a must have for fans of the game.

I will be double dipping when the time comes.

I watched TheRadBrad's walkthrough instead of playing it.



The gameplay didn't blow me away but the story brings the feels, man. I got connected to Joel and Ellie in a way I didn't think was possible by watching or playing a video game. As in, for me the stakes were really high by the end of the game. I don't know if I can give it any higher praise than that. Touchstone game.

And it will include some extra multiplayer and (I believe) single player content.  I would wait for the PS4 version if it's coming out soon.  But the PS3 version is gorgeous and very playable.

I bought it to play while recovering from surgery. Great decision, loved the game. Got addicted instantly. Had to turn the lights on to play at night, clickers man. Single player was awesome, could never master MP but who cares, the SP rocks. Really hoping for a part 2 release one day.

buy the game, you won't regret it.

I bought mine just for TLOU.  It cost me 110 for a console and my buddy gave me the game.  I now use the PS3 as my media player as well for TV.  Netflix and Amazon on demand.  Works better then the blue ray player I also own.

Beats buying an Xbox One just for Titanfall. That's a $450 video game.

As to The Last of Us, I'm just gonna wait for the PS4 version. That's what I have and I'm not going to buy a PS3 just to play it at this point.
