Most out of place banner I've ever seen in an OT. Nice work overall.

Wow I didn't even realize that Man of steel came out next Friday as well.
Damn why is there is so little trophies? Don't games usually have around 40-50 trophies?
Either way I can't wait to platinum it. Plus I can't wait to try out the mulitplayer and join the GAF clan.

MY SHROOMS ARE READY.
Soooo hyped for this. Possibly more than me going to E3.

So what are you guys more excited for...E3 or the release of the game?
The Last of Us has actually made me almost not even care for E3! O__o

Yeah, I don't really think that's an exaggeration either.
It's crazy how far they have come from the Jak and Daxter games. I mean sure, they are great.
But this is clearly some next level shit.
The Last of Us hands down.

Man, I can't believe it's almost here. Been looking forward to this game ever since it was revealed at the VGAs way back when. Nice OT btw.
I was listening to the IGN no spoiler thingy yesterday and they were commenting on this... they said they were glad there were so few, because the immersion in the game is so great, the constant "pling" would actually be jarring and annoying.
And I can totally see that.
Well E3 this year is too big to not be excited for. All I can say is that this week is gonna an amazing week for games.
I have too many questions that need answering regarding the PS4. Other than that, I don't really care about E3.

E3 no question. I can't wait for this game, but this E3 is going to be absolutely insane with hype. All 3 companies will drop bombs + PS4 deets, and Microsoft trying to crawl out of their PR garbage dump.
Yep glad I preorder mine.
Since I'm not buying a next-gen console, I'm really only interested in potential PC ports of games being shown off.
So, my hype for E3 is pretty whatever.
The Last of Us, however...

My impressions (no story spoilers but if you want to go in fresh without knowing gameplay details, best not to read on):
7 hours in and it's easily my favorite Naughty Dog game this generation. So much less handholding and I haven't experienced any obtrusive set piece moments yet. The combat is tight and often times tense, leaving you wondering how else the scuffle could have played out (reloaded a few checkpoints to try to get over certain parts in different ways). Level design is wide and varied where you'd often find yourself wandering around a room full of enemies before moving forward with a specific strategy. Throwing bottles at unsuspecting enemies and sprinting to grab and shiv a motherfucker is so intensely satisfying. Everything from the animations to the way the AI reacts to your actions is brilliantly done. I usually try to avoid combat if possible since, obviously, resources are scarce and really make you think about what your next move should be (managed to get past the E3 demo part without alerting anyone which was great). The real time item management adds a level of tension that makes certain scenarios exciting. I also love little touches like when you read a note like in any other game, Joel would react to the contents of the note once you've put it away with whoever's around.
Loving the hell out of this so far. You guys are in for a treat.

Yeah, E3 is going to be pretty silly this year. It's going to be nice to settle down with this next weekend once it's all over.

Thanks for posting this. I wanted to watch some new gameplay, but didn't want to spoil any of the story. And this is obviously from the tutorial on Easy. The funny thing is I recognized the scene, because someone on GameFaqs was trolling about how bad the AI was, how the enemies would just stand there with their back to doorways. LOL
Anyway, details that stood out:
As Joel's choking the guy, the other starts shooting and the bullets hit the enemy he's choking
Blood stain spreading on the Joel's shirt
How open a simple tutorial area is, different rooms and ways to go. Can't imagine what that means for the later areas

I've already committed to upgrading my GPU next year instead of getting a new console.
I can see myself picking up a PlayStation 4 in 2015, probably. Xbone is pretty much out of the question.
Thanks for the great impressions.

Can you share some cool moments with the enemy AI? I want to hear how smart, dynamic, etc. the AI is.

I feel like I am the last person to play it, and its not out yet.
Oh my just noticed the friday release date I quit keeping up with this awhile ago waiting till release. Kinda glad since i've been without proper internet all week and just now getting to pick up State of Decay over on 360. Seeing all these reviews I wish i'd pre-orders the Survival Edition, looks sold out everywhere.

Between waiting for E3, The NBA Finals and The Last of Us... I'm going to die from the anxiety.

Was looking through my Newegg purchases and apparently Ive had this preordered at Newegg since 6/4/12 for $48 I may have to wait til the following week to get my copy Idk if I can handle the additional wait
Idk if I can handle the additional waitIs it a big step up from Uncharted 3? Because UC3's melee felt like a cinematic button masher.

I honestly cannot say for sure that I'll see Man of Steel this weekend. Not unless my copy of The Last of Us was in the bus.

I have the same dealio, cept I think I have it for $45. Either way I'm probably going to get a copy from gamestop (If I cant score a survival edish) and return the one from newegg.
