He liked Spec Ops: The Line just fine. We got along great.

I still need to play Last Light. I loved 2033.
Still need to beat that one too. Some day...

Nothing that sticks out that I can remember now. But the AI is really good for being a game. The enemies collaborates, flank you and easily have the best random battle dialogue ever. It actually feels like they got a brain.
I wish they would have better memory though, sometimes they start shooting and I'll go into "hide mode" and they will forget that you ever existed after a short while.

Another one bites the dust.
I try my best.
To ride the Metro hype metro (...GET IT!?!) for just one more post, I totally agree. While I absolutely loved Bioshock's creativity, world, art style, and characters, it honestly became a chore to play by the 8 hour mark. Bland gunplay, poor utilization of the skyhook system, meets minimum AI, and repetitive/unimaginative Salts just weren't doing it for me. Again, I still love the game and admire it's ambition when it comes to story telling and world building, but it just didn't do it for me on a gameplay level.
Metro, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. I am constantly on my toes when playing Metro, and honestly get shivers fromt the incredible tension the game builds. The gunplay is great, the combat scenarios are varied, and because everything is so grounded in that first person view, it is easy to just get lost in the world. Absolutely incredible.
Anyways, um, Last of Us should be great. I'll stay on topic, or at least try.

Very few movies or games can make me emotional
The movie The Impossible (see it if you haven't, one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen, should have been a best picture nominee) was the last movie to do so
A game never has.
Is TLOU that good?
He also hated Hitman: Absolution, so I have no beef with him.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
All this talk about the opening being the be all end all of game openings. While it was extremely well done and I enjoyed it.... GOW 3's opening is still the best opening this gen by a long shot . Sorry. Game will end up as my GOTG though, it is amazing.
Good deal. It wouldn't take a lot to surpass Infinite for me though. I thought it was good but not the 10/10 deal and if it makes it on my GOTY list at all it'll be near the bottom.
I was just glad to hear they kept a bunch of holdovers from the original, you know the ammo stuff, etc.

Ah, okay, thanks. I wanted to perhaps use the alt-costumes for Joel and Ellie, and wondered whether everything was just in one code. I just noticed they're only for once you've completed the game once.

I've been wanting to play Metro:LL, gonna have to rent it after this month's dogpile is done.
I really need to catch up on things, but I'm half suffering half enjoying Remember Me right now, and can't seem to avoid ending up playing Mega Man 2 or 4 before bed and Pinball Arcade or Toejam and Earl for hours with the lady after dinner of late

The first 15 minutes is that good, I'm not joking. As I said in the two other posts in this thread, first game that sent chills down my spine just watching the first 15 minutes. No other game has done that. Now imagine if that's only 15 minutes of 900 minutes of the game. We're only at 1% of the game.
Checking in. Great OT! I've managed to circumvent spoilers so far and hope to go in fairly fresh -- no reviews, no walkthrough videos, and no demo.
Admittedly, I did flip through the tie-in prequel comic and it isn't bad.
We don't have much longer, guys!
Hear, hear.

I can't remember who said it but in one of the reviews (I think Sessler?) someone said that this game doesn't really do the whole "boo!" thing, just pure realism.
Edit: Don't get me wrong I'm sure the game will be scary at times, but more like you can cut the tension with a knife and high stakes rather than "gotcha!"
Don't think it's MLAA, it's probably the same thing they cooked up in house for Uncharted 3.
It works well most of the time but some high-contrast objects and/or long edges look really, really bad. So many crawling pixels.
But the game is insanely detailed so that should be expected I guess.
------
Another random note, I kinda wished (with my 8 hours playtime so far) that the game was a little more story focused, I want more of those wonderful cut-scenes god dammit.

I think the same review spoiled me. Its one of two segments that have been spoiled for me so far, the other wasn't story related but settings related. What pissed me off was how nonchalantly he dropped that tidbit as if it was public knowledge. What a jackass.
Overall I can't complain, if I go into the 14th knowing just what I do now, I'll be happy.

I'm not huge into the trophy whoring, but I always went for platinum in the Uncharted series. I find them to be pretty fair trophy requirements and have got platinum on all 4 games this gen (including Vita Uncharted.) It is the only series I actively chase a platinum in.
So, I think I'll be going for the platinum with this as well baring any drastic changes in naughty dogs trophy decisions. Usually it is beat game on all difficulties, get 50-100 kills with each weapon, few melee kill trophies, and collect all relics/treasures. They seem to follow the pattern for all their games.

It was the Gamerliving review. Spoilers right in the first paragraph!!
Oh man.. I want this game so bad, but I don't own a PS3 and am very close to buying a WiiU..
What to do? This and Beyond 2 Souls - worth buying a console on its last legs for?
I used to have a PS3 and bought it for the Uncharted series. I love the stuff that Naughty Dog make. I'm so conflicted..
Question: Do you think there will be GOTY edition for PS4? Maybe early next year? I could hold off till then.
It could be a great way to showcase the Gakai BC tech that was hinted at.
Alternatively, I could just buy a 2nd hand PS3 for this game and Beyond 2 souls. Wii U might have to wait a bit longer.

Were people that started playing Uncharted 3 a few days before the street date declaring it as their game of the generation? I don't know, I wasn't there.
You know, as much as I like this game and definitely consider it my favorite ND game, this is perhaps the jankiest game they've ever made. I've literally just had an enemy fall through the floor after he detected me in the
. Expect all manner of weird shit to happen while you're in stealth.
Still, nothing truly game breaking. Still enjoying it immensely.

The only thing I know about them (usually don't look before completing a game) is that I haven't got a single one in eight hours lol

I don't know why you'd buy a Wii U when the PS3 has a bigger library of games, many of which are probably cheaper, and looks the same graphics wise.

Just don't bring any of the MP hate in here. I think it's okay to be critical but just don't have too high hopes regarding the MP.
I only really remember the review bullshit and a whole lot of downplaying when some posters brought up the control stuff.

How's this for final impressions?
Found on the TLOU forums:

True?
OH COME ON
IIRC No. If anything the majority of players were complaining about the aiming non stop.
Edit: beaten.
Really?

I think its best for us to stop talking about the game. We've waited a year and a half since we first heard of it. What's another 5 days.

Oh, I don't think that is the same review then. It doesn't show up in my history.
At least give us some kind of range... I have no idea what you have and have not played.

Taken. Thanks.There's a few transparent ones in there. I take no credit for the transparent cuts for Joel and Ellie. The other ones are awesome fan art I saw earlier.
YES I FINALLY GOT RID OF OBNOXIOUS FABLE GUY ANTITROP.
Now no one will recognize me. I really like this avatar though.
Hotline Miami or mark of the ninja.
Holy hyperbole. I really doubt the game is THAT good.

I can't be the only one who thought U2 was far superior to U3 right?
Maybe I'm biased because U2 was my first PS3 game but everything from the pacing to the opening to the story...I felt U2 did it better
Sure U3 had some jaw dropping setpieces - the cruise, the cargo plane - but the cruise just seemed way too short and all the great moments were revealed in the trailers IMO. And the whole "Who is Nathan Drake" subplot went nowhere.
On the other hand, that hanging train opening, the collapsing hotel, the train, the convoy...those are moments that I replay to this day.
Well, after the clusterfuck with MS and the X1 DRM issues, I feel drawn to the WiiU because it just seems more of a pure gaming device now. Plus, the PS3 is going to retire in the next year or so, and I've already played most of the best games for it. I owned one till late last year.
I think I'll try and get a really cheap 2nd hand PS3. I saw some of the Phat models for only $75 in a game shop a few weeks ago. That will do.
