I got it today and I'm impressed with the story and graphics so far. Anyone else playing this game?
The Last of Us

I watched the trailer and it looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3.
I want it soo bad!!!! I keep telling myself I need to finish my games that I already own first before I buy any more. I have heard nothing but good things about it and I know it was e3's game of the year. I am playing god of war ascensions right now and it is the worst one yet. I am almost threw it then I will pick it up I jut hope I can get it before gta comes out cause then I will be in the same boat lol.
Just go rent it at your local RedBox. I have video game ADD. I played six hours of The Witcher 2 before putting it away and I haven't played it since. Renting has saved me a lot of money.
honestly I didnt know you could rent games from red box I have never used it. I will have to check this out thanks for the heads up.
I have it, I'm about a quarter of the way through I think. Man that game is so much fun.

I didn't think it was going to be this good. Really enjoying it!
Dang! Makes me want to get a PS3.
If you do pick up the Uncharted series...
I am old as far as Gamers go. In my 35 years of gaming, I have never played anything like The Last of Us. Sure the general theme has been done many times, but not like this. The game conveys the feeling of danger and desperation in a hostile environment. I have never made a kill in a game where it was not satisfying, the weight of necessity in this regard is masterfully crafted. There is a true feeling of "Me or them" that stresses the importance of what Joel must do to keep Ellie and himself alive no matter the cost.
The Combat is by no means smooth or structured, and it is done this way on purpose. If you are detected and a firefight breaks out, the situation feels like disorganized panic. When you shoot a gun there is no spamming the fire button and unloading. you have to recover after the recoil before you can land another shot, which is not easy. The enemies have deadly aim as well which make it even more nerve racking.
Melee combat is brutal, and fast. Bats, pipes, 2x4's, bricks, fists and bottles are all viable weapons. I do have to admit it is satisfying to run up and smash a guy in the head with a brick. You have to be smart, because you are always one against many.
The infected are a pain, especially Clickers and Bloaters. If either of these two get their hands on you it is game over. The rest you can fight off.
These are just some of the things you will encounter in this game. If you have a PS3 and call yourself a gamer this is a must have. Hell it is worth buying a PS3 if you don't have one, just for this game.
Last night I restarted a checkpoint so many times, the GAME gave me a message saying "You can change the difficulty at anytime in the options menu". Of course me being the stubborn *** I am said "F" that.

I see lots of trailers on YT adverts but I'll pick it up later. Right now I'm just not into gaming as much as I used to be. I've gone back to some older games like GTA Vice City and Counter-Strike but that's it. I'm kind of waiting for the next big game and I have a feeling I'll get an Xbox One just to play Remedy's next project as they aren't doing Alan Wake 2.

Great review Jon!
I am a Family Man, and I spend plenty of time with the Wife and my Son. It is not hard to balance ones time if you put your priorities in the right place.
Thanks Brother!
I would spend about the same amount of time reading since that is how I spend most of my free times.
Plan on checking this game out when I have some time. Looks pretty awesome and got great reviews. The last big release before the next gen consoles.
Just finished reading the two tie in comics, in the second one it had an arcade called Raja's Arcade, I would like to think that is how the pirate would have spent his cash, on an arcade.
Just finished this game. I'm very impressed.
i agree with everything raithskar said. Although i did channel my inner metal gear stealth skills at times and avoided quite a few clickers and floaters. To conserve ammo and health.
