The first one is arguably the best story I've ever experienced in video game format. The gameplay is quite fun in my opinion. There's even somewhat of a character progression system, which is unusual for naughty dog games. And it's not ridiculously over combat-y like Uncharted. I mean, sure there is a lot of it ... it's a video game, but it's really quite solid. http://www.gamesradar.com/the-last-of-us-review/ It might be a little over the top, but the game isn't just a great story, it has a very solid stealth system and complex areas to try an navigate through. It is ultimately linear, but it doesn't feel all that linear most of the time (with a few exceptions). It's definitely not open world, and it's definitely not an RPG with a Choice & Consequence system. But it isn't trying to be. It affecting and intense to play. It's quite well done.Garrison72;n7156870 said:I can't get into post apocalyptic zombie territory, even when it's well written. I might try the original one of these days since I have a PS3, but such a cinematic heavy experience is also a problem for me. Their games look like gameplay comes second.
I don't think you'll regret it. If you do, I'll eat some brussel sprouts (which I hate) in recognition of my misleading you.Garrison72;n7171430 said:Well I ordered the first one for PS3. Going out on a limb here...
While I've actually played very little of it, I've watched a lot of gameplay. I will say hats off to the story and characters. I can't remember a single part that wasn't interesting. I also love how they manage to create some decent gameplay and shooting mechanics without ever sacrificing the cinematic feel of the game.The first one is arguably the best story I've ever experienced in video game format.

My biggest worry for this one is that it won't live up to the first. But even if it's just basically the same thing with a different and similar quality story ... I'll be happy.
FYI, you have not wrote about the Twitter post before, nor did you mention "The Last of Us", according to the search results.As I wrote a couple of weeks ago on this forum (in some post impossible to find with the search function) :
I'm sure I wrote about new info regarding TLOU2 coming at the end of the month (not twitter)...FYI, you have not wrote about the Twitter post before, nor did you mention "The Last of Us", according to the search results.
I really hope for a release in february as it seems from rumors (including my sources).
Did you enjoy the game, or will Rawls be forced to eat Brussel Sprouts?
