I completely agree. This is the first game to fully realise the potential of video games.
ALWAYS (!) play the games in the natural order (how they released).
Doesn't matter if it's a prequel, or not.

Would the DLC (US PSN) work with the german/european version of the game or is DLC still region locked?

How is it not? That comes out to about 60 dollars for an 8 hour game, and a lot of games cost 60 and are a lot shorter than 8 hours. So I think it's fair. Obviously I would rather it be longer, but I don't think the length is unacceptable (See MGV: GZ)
Just bought the season pass from Amazon for £14.00 ready for this. Figured I might as well pay a few quid extra for the rest of the DLC as well.
Would still love to try the multiplayer as it looks right up my street even though I don't like trying to get into MP games late.
Would've preferred a GOTY PS4 remastered edition instead but might never materialise I suppose.

Why are people complaining the length? It's all new assets and I it's naughty dog. I'm sure the 2 hour ride will be great start to finish.
Ah yes, that is a good point too.

It took me 23 hours to finish TLOU on my first playthough and 13 hours on my second, so I'm expecting at least 3 hours out of this games, perhaps longer if I investigate every nook and cranny.

Thursday.
Yeah, the same Season Pass scheme Epic did for Gears 3 where, logically, RAAM's Shadow would be the only thing discounted (the most overpriced piece in the bunch). That was the last straw for me trusting the typical season pass.
Damn it, ND doing 2 hours too? I think RAAM's Shadow lasted an hour longer then this.
I want this, but man, no matter what the quality, $7.50 per hour for a game is probably more than I've ever spent in my life. The Last of Us was good and I'd like to see more, but I don't know if its *that* good.
Problem is, I don't plan on having my PS3 for a long time so I'm not sure I can just wait it out til its on sale.
$15..........jesus.

Nice OT, OP, but the title could be bettered by adding the following subtitle: "This DLC Announcement Changed My Life."

Literally counting the hours for this. The comics did a great job at introducing Riley, chemistry between the 2 characters will be awesome,
get those tissues ready.

They mention something that I didn't know about the gameplay in Left Behind.
We finally get a taste of human vs. infected, and the strategies that come with trying to pit those two together. That alone could make for some fun replays.

so i bought the seasons pass for this. how do i download the documentary? i dont see it in the psn store....
- Download the Day 1 Bonuses from your download list
- Boot The Last of Us up
- Select the Downloadables section
- Download the documentary
The documentary will only appear if you download the day 1 bonus. It's about 3GB big and can not be downloaded in the background.

For some reason I thought this was coming out tomorrow. Now I'm sad.
So looking forward to this. Just beat TLOU on Survivor+ last week, and the game just got better each time I played it... kept noticing subtle movements in the characters, details in the environments referenced later in the game, and the consistency and quality of the dialogue. I've managed to avoid most of the details about the DLC, so I hope that holds until Friday.

$15 for lunch? I could eat breakfast, lunch & dinner on $15.
Just buy it. You know you will end up loving it.
Do any of you break down the cost vs. duration in other media?
Does one go to the cinema thinking it's 15 dollars for 104 minutes, that's enough for me but I'm not going to the 92 minutes movie until it's cheaper?
I've worked for 30 minutes, that's half a Batman graphic novel?
I find this an incredibly odd variable to base a purchasing decision on.

I loved 30 Flights of Loving even I thought $3 was too much.
How do you guys live with that price?
I don't know why its so odd to you. People are used to a certain 'value' in terms of what they get in a video game. This is different from person to person and there's always exceptions, but I have a hard time swallowing a $15 price tag for a 2 hour game in the same way that I would probably never pay $60 for an 8 hour game.
Other entertainment mediums work differently. People are used to paying a flat rate for a movie, whatever the length. That's the standard for movies and always has been.

I agree that I don't see the hate towards the pricing, it may seem high but you know you are going to get 2 hours of quality story and action.

The price complaints are weird, I wonder what world some of you live in.
The Last of Us DLC - £11.99
Now compare to another two hours of entertainment.
1 adult at the cinema - £9+ (add more for 3D)
New CD/iTunes album - £8-£10
Live concert for a band - £35+
Live standup comedy - £30+
Live football match for Premier team - £25+
Blu-Ray movie new release - £15
3x pints of beer in a pub - £10+
£12 for two hours of entertainment by one of the finest videogame developers in the world seems pretty good value to me.

That's the way I view things, although I think your premiership ticket price is slightly wrong
BUT I can also appreciate the way that Seanspeed views it too, I just don't take that view. Some people may see £12 as a lot to pay for what is pretty much an extra slice of a pizza they already paid £40 for and got 6 slices for that price.

Hmmm, should people really be focused on the price? I don't know, even the MGS GZ price tag doesn't seem that much bad. I mean, both Naughty Dog and Kojima productions will deliver an extremely high quality piece of entertainment,specially for fans of the series. The best thing people could do in this situation is fight with your wallet. Complaining about the price or anything like that doesn't make that much a difference.
When L4D2 was bein boycotted by fans of valve, in the launch day, a lot of people that said they wouldn't buy the game, in the end they bit the bullet and played on launch day. Gabe Newell even stated that this meant that even though people were mad at first, they saw the value of the game in the end.

To you.
See, as a PC gamer, I can get quite a lot for that £12. Or I can just not pay £12 and still have plenty of other things to play.
I'm probably also not quite as enamored with Naughty Dog as you are.
I didn't even pay £40 for that pizza. I paid £18. So now I have to decide whether I want to pay £12 for one more slice of that £18 pizza.
