Dont own a PS3 but just finished watching a lets play from start to finish. Amazing game, even to just watch someone else play.

Dont know how i feel about the ending though, open for a sequel?

I have yet to play Bioshock Infinite yet - will get that soon - but unless that REALLY impresses me, The Last of Us is easily the GOTY. Easily. It is the best game I have played this generation, and that is saying a lot. As far as the ending goes, there is nothing wrong with it save that they are leaving it open for a sequel if it does well (which it most definitely is). It really drives home how Joel has changed and now wants to cope with what happened at the start of the game.

As far as the friendly characters sometimes doing silly stuff, really, it wasn't that bad at all. For the most part, they are perfectly fine and did whatever was necessary to help me out. For a game with such intelligent enemy AI, multiple paths and methods of approaching a situation, the friendly AI is great. The details in this game are simply incredible. If anyone had any doubt about Sony having the better exclusives after Journey/Shadow of the Colossus/Metal Gear Solid 4/Uncharted 2 (games considered true masterpieces), The Last of Us really hammers it home.

I don't think I've ever played a game where the story and gameplay mesh so well. As wanky as it sounds the gameplay told some of the story in the choice of fight or flee. Ranged or Melee.

Bioshock Infinite had a great story that could have been told as a point and click adventure and lost nothing. The shooting was a little generic IMO and lacked the atmosphere from the original.

The brutal gameplay of The Last Of Us only added to the story and experience.

It's a brilliant game, but I think you're going off half-cocked announcing it as GOTY already. There are a few titles that will push for that title being released soon and later this year.

Tbh Bioshock Infinite has a good storyline, great acting and looks sensational, but the gameaplay is so average. Not sure why it got so heavily praised tbh.

With all due respect, I've seen all the games on offer this year, and not one of them looks like it will come anywhere near close. I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I severely doubt I will be.

You've seen demos and videos, but not the final product.

Several AAA titles haven't even been released yet.

It wouldn't surprise me if The Last If Us does win GOTY - but at this stage, with several titles yet to be commercially released, it's a tough or bold call to make.

But as long ad Bioshock: Infinite doesn't win GOTY, then I'm happy. How can a genuine GOTY contender have such full gameplay?

This game is pretty good indeed, I'm now controlling Ellie after Joel had his little accident.

It was a great shot of that Rabbit in the snow, and then bang an arrow went straight threw it :lol:

Game came out while i was in the States so I only just finished it now...

Holy sh!t thats gonna stay with me... still conflicted about what was right and what was wrong...

overall the game was something special and just as important a piece of fiction as any book, film or television series of the past decade... well dont Naughty Dog...

cant wait to see what they bring on next gen.

Finally got around to buying this last Thursday, and have sunk about 9 hours into it. Currently teamed up with the black dude and his kid as we make our way through the sewers.

All I can say is why did it take me so f**king long to buy this??? f**king incredible game.

Got the Remastered edition with my PS4, and I'd almost forgotten how insanely great this game is.
