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.
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:
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.
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.
It's really a great achievement. I'm happy they took their time to do a sequel. It deserves it.

I really hope for a release in february as it seems from rumors (including my sources).

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)...
unless I wrote it and then didn't post it because my connection is not stable and I get disconnected quite often, so I can't post and then I'm too lazy to write it again. Which has happened several times already. Anyway, not really important. The important thing is that we'll get to know more of the game (probably on the 26th and not 24th).
Man, the physical animations look fuggin' amazing. Hopefully, they don't downgrade before going gold.
