RIGHT? so fucking dumb
It's basically a video telling us why TLOU is better than Infinite. With Colin and Greg who are the biggest PS3 fanboys around.

Plenty of reviewers at least mentioned Infinite. They're both wide-linear single player campaigns that completely revolve around a AI partner. And they're two blockbuster games with universal acclaim. It didn't seem that cray to me that it would be brought up.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Night and day. HUGE improvement over UC3 melee combat. Makes that feel like a kids game.
And that's how the games are being compared in that clip, not directly.
They even start talking more about Uncharted after a few minutes than Bioshock. And then Tomb Raider multiplayer comparison.
They're quite excellent, and a big plus for me that they fit because I have a pretty large head and some headphones won't fit me because of it.
Sound is great... the "rumble" effect is gimmicky but can be increased/reduced/disabled as you see fit.
They also work on a PC (albeit without virtual surround support, that's only on PS3)... and they're essentially my Counterstrike:GO headphones.
Also... better than the original ones with the discreet mic (no boom to break or annoy you)

Eh, it's fairly bullshitty all the same. I mean TLOU isn't even out long enough for proper discussion yet and everyone loved Infinite at first before proper discussion happened to break apart certain sections of it and now opinions are very split on it.
I think the honeymoon period has to wash off TLOU more before comparing both games. I have no doubt it's good but you get what I mean

I do like that point they brought up about MP actually. They said TLOU would have been fine without it and I'd agree. But they almost went as far as to say it shouldn't be counted in the reviews

Great OT for a great game!

Yeah I just watched it and it wasn't that bad, although still very much IGN.
I'm sure a lot of reviewers do consider the single player campaign to be a 10, which is not hard to believe.
That fact that we're getting what appears to be an above-average multiplayer component on top of what is potentially the best narrative campaign of the generation is too much for me to handle.

The Last of Us: Post Pandemic Edition box art looks purdy. *hurry up friday*
I'd love that, just because I like receiving big packages in the mail lol

So it is E3, WWDC13, The Last Of Us and Man Of Steel all in the same week.
Somebody please hold me.

That would more accurately have said the same feels as playing OoT in 1998, not in general.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

I get the strange feeling that The Last of Us will be a game like RDR, where I become obsessed and play it over and over again. Between State of Decay, and this next Friday(?!), I'll have my post-apocalyptic quota filled. It's a great time to be a gamer.

I know that.
I would add the season finale of Game of Thrones. *I love that show*
Most likely Fedex smartpost for me.

Awesome OP. Glad you went with the Platinum name.
OH SHIT, IT IS. I'm not sure that I've fully recovered from last week, yet.
No specifics, but I think that one episode alone might have thrown GoT over the top of Breaking Bad for my favorite show on television.
I don't know why I even bothered going on media blackout for this fucking thing. What's the point when I see a lot of people crying about being spoiled, and then Naughty Dog themselves saying
(See Nirolak, this is called being a pal). OH I WONDER WHAT THE SPOILER IS ABOUT.
I haven't technically been spoiled but I'm not a fucking idiot. Maybe I'll still enjoy this game despite what I can only imagine is an obviously emotionally manipulative ending.
how sequels would require new casts

Can't wait! Hope to get the game on Friday... (chile, latin America) this is the fist time I see an ad campaign in the local media, TV ads, billboards, the works. Hype train full speed ahead!
My God, is the finale already tomorrow?! Jesus...
me neither! I literally just sat there starring blank faced at my tv screen, way after the credits was over...I think one man-tear ran down my face. I was in shock.

I hope I'm not the only one who notices similarities between zombiU and TLOU.
Not in copying concepts or graphics, etc, but the desolate nature and vulnerability, not to mention the way the the scares are presented.
I haven't played it yet, of course, but from reviews and podcasts, it sounds exactly the same for all the reasons I really enjoyed zombiU and that is pretty exciting.

Amazon prime almost always uses UPS for me, I think Fedex might have delivered once by prime. Which sucks, because fedex delivers around noon and UPS shows up late 4-7pm.
I think I would rather have a brand new Crash Bandicoot. If they showed that, I'd be throwing my money at the screen.

I expected what happened a bit but I was still sitting there mouth agape
I am a man of weak will. I haven't been on a blackout for this game, but I'm relatively uninformed about it (I just found out what listen mode was like, what, half an hour ago?).
I haven't watched the intro on YT, yet, but I have a feeling I will end up doing so before I actually play the game.

Preordered the Sights and Sounds pack on PSN.
Looking forward to Friday
Wait, how?
When I preordered on PSN, I finalized my checkout, it took me to download the preorder static theme, and that's it. Never got to choose between the two packs
It's gonna be tough for episode 10 to top episode 9. Next week is gonna be EPIC! ^_^ (starting tomorrow with Game of Thrones)
I would so absolutely NOT watch that and I won't.
Free country/world though.
Mostly.
(off topic note: my throat is still scratchy from screaming my head off that the Kings tied the Blackhawks with 9 seconds remaining...)
Don't do it man. Take a deep breath, it will be worth it in the end.

Glad I'm not the only one. No other game has ever done this to me. That is one of the reason why I want to buy it day one now. The first 15 minutes are definitely one of the best in gaming history in my opinion.
