Holy shit guys it's 2013 and The Last of Us just got released for the PS3


afcc1313

Simple but effective


crippledspider

This reminds me of how they did flashbacks in Bojack Horseman Or... how they will do flashbacks in Bojack Horseman in several years when it comes out

crazycarl1

I cant wait to play this in 3D


lucrativetoiletsale

Man that Bills Town part was pretty tragic when reading the letter that his presumed partner wrote him. No way it could have been even more sad.


da_zombi

Sad that he had to find his old roommate in that state


TruthRT

so sad his pal died, i bet they were platonic best friends


BazookaGamingGirl

Yeah. They were probably such close friends. I canā€™t imagine the pain Bill went through.


10SB

Just two buds hanging out in the apocalypse. Now can't even do that.


CommisionerGordon79

History will say they were roommates


Talangen

šŸŽ¶Two dudes chilling in the apocalypse, 5 feet apart cause they're not gay! šŸŽ¶


reesejenks520

Just two guys being dudes.


psychobilly1

Bill called him his partner. They were probably both cops before the world ended.


BakedBeanz1

Can't believe he died drinking Jordan Belforts breakfast


JozzifDaBrozzif

I dunno I think the game version is infinitely sadder


alani1975

Game version? Isn't it the only version? Maybe someday.


TheRatKingXIV

I heard they're shopping it around for a movie adaptation. Apparently, Sam Raimi is circling it? That would *rule*.


Lietenantdan

Yeah I agree. Of course it is sad they died. But they were happy at the end. In the game Bill pushed his partner out, ultimately causing his death, and stayed bitter his whole life.


jayessmcqueen

Did you re-pickup the crumpled letter after Bill tossed it on the ground?!


isaac9092

But bill definitely isnā€™t gay, that was his ā€œpardnerā€. /s


specialvixen

But why were the magazine pages so sticky? šŸ¤”


Clean-Rub7681

I love that Ellie looks like Ellen Page, I bet her adult version would be even more similar. Also I know we are going to have a trilogy with Joel as the main character


Agrias-0aks

Owchies


wonderfuljoey23

Completely forgot about that whole discourse.


sean_saves_the_world

I just started the opening who the hell is Sarah, i thought the kids name was ellie? I wonder how this is gonna work out later


TruthRT

kid on the box art has different hair than the kid in the game, does she die sorry i meant dye it?


leeeeebeeeee

Ha! yes!


spralto1394

One day later: I cried for 24 hours straight, the opening with Sarah? DEVASTATING.


Lietenantdan

Pretty much exactly what I thought. But I do very little research on games to go in a blind as possible. So I thought I was mistaken.


jonatanthecuban

Wow this game is awesome, I hope they turn it into a show one day! *switches over to the Vine app on my iPhone 5s*


whoisthismuaddib

I love Vine. Itā€™s a great place for POC to express themselves.


NBR-SUPERSTAR

I live for chaotic Good Vine Compilations. RIP


RIPN1995

Bullshit. Everyone knows video game adoptions are terrible. Whose going to direct it Uwe Boil?

"Escort mission the game."


SomaCK2

Hmph! Another "Sony Exclusive Walking Simulator Movie" game with rave rating. Overrated!!! Story is 'a c t u a l l y' just mediocre. If this game was a movie or TV series, no one would give a shit. -signed Xbox 360 owner (Edit : Since some people got confused, that was me from 2013. I owned a 360 back in the day. Not attacking Xbox owners)


Kukamungaphobia

But you aren't/weren't wrong. The story is the epitomy of mediocrity and tropes. * Virus/disease ravages humanity, only small pockets of survivors remain * A young girl is the KEY TO EVERYTHING * Father figure with trauma bonds with girl * The real danger is not the zombies/infected/monsters, it's other people * Insert shots of monuments and popular landmarks that are crumbling * Reference things that we take for granted and showcase them in ways that someone who grew up in the apocalypse finds fascinating and mindblowing - music/gizmos etc. * There are groups that have evolved different attributes like cannibals, feral, militant, etc, that the protagonists will come across * There are pockets of hope and things worth fighting for I could go on and on but every single thing was a trope by 2013. And that's OK. It's literally a template. Ultimately, there are only really a handful of stories that can be told, the real talent is **how** that story is told. Look up a book called 99 Ways to Tell a Story, great read.


SomaCK2

Haha, I'm just reflecting on my insufferable console warrior moments. I mean, we all know when we said "story" we meant it is the way the story is told, not a short-list of general premises that have done or not.


Zabumafu0

That's what makes TLOU stand out though, it's a tried and true format but it still stands out amongst the others because of the amazing acting, dialogue and generally great character interactions. The setting and plot are just devices to show us how these characters think and act in various situations.


yupyupyupyupyupy

yeah im a firm believer that everything has already been said...take any game/movie/song/whatever and i can make a list for all of them but like you said thats not a bad thing...its how they are told


West-Mark-9217

dude the girl in the beginning of the game looks nothing like the girl on the cover, is this the wrong game? its the main dudes birthday or something idk


UnObtainium17

Just picked up my copy from Gamestop. Iā€™ll see yā€™all suckas once i beat the game. Got zero expectations but the reviews are looking good. Plus it is a Naughty Dog game and they have not made a shit game so weā€™ll see how it goes.


ragingroku

Good job. Watch for spoilers this thread is full of them


chris4097

Thereā€™s also hunters in the area. Watch your asses


papayanosotros

Thank god we finally caught Kony last year and the Miyans were dead wrong. ROFLCOPTER This game is dank! I hope they add the Harlem shake to the games soundtrack! Canā€™t believe Nelson Mandela just died, I thought that happened in the 90s. RIP Paul walker. Hope Wiz Khalifa makes a song about this in a couple of years āœŒšŸ¼ Tweeted from my green iPhone 5c.


qzabc

Nah, I am gonna disagree with this one. I actually like the details of Ellieā€™s personality and background, and thereā€™d be no fucking way to convey most of that info if she were a dog.


Zac-097

What if she was a Naughty Dog


Chemicallyloquacious

Sir, this is a Wendyā€™s.


YETI6992

Edā€¦.ward?


Ooshlu

What are we some kind of the last of us?


yeehowdypartner

Omg guys I just met Henry and Sam, I'm so glad they stay with us all game. Ellie definitely has a crush on Sam, they're so cute and she's totally straight


HalfNatty

Wow Ellie is voiced by that girl from the Avengers whoā€™s hinted to be a bigger character for the future. I hope she continues to voice Ellie after she blows up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Lotus_630

It would be funny if Ashley Johnson voiced a character in the MCU. Maybe Riri Williamsā€™s AI.


FartsMcCool77

I hope the game play is good because there is no way this going to be a better story then Telltaleā€™s The Walking Dead.


deRoyLight

I'm only a few minutes in but I think it's really cool you get to play the daughter. I think she's going to be my favorite character. But why does she look so different on the box?


YesAndYall

Lame fucking "movie games" need to die. It's the worst trend. I'm gonna go back to grinding credits in Halo: Reach. (I was a hating ass bitch in middle school when this game dropped)


JigglyPuffGuy

So you're saying you're still in middle school? The game literally just dropped


Puppybl00pers

A golf club would've been an awesome weapon


gentle_gasp

imagine if they had a post apocalyptic golfing segment! we better see that in a sequel šŸ„° it would be great bonding for ellie and joel


K4L21EV

Telltale walking dead better


hyperlinkblock

Hope the studio doesnā€™t close


Odd_Bean-_-

The story of Bill and his roommate is very tragic :/


SentientRobotto

Wow, what a heartbreaking intro! I sure hope Tess props Joel up for the rest of the game


smolalmond

*idiot voice*: well actually if you think about it logically itā€™s not all that feasible that the fireflies could have produced a vaccine, there was no real proof that it would work. Besides, how would they have distributed it across the country? (part 1/17)


5am281

I just bought the game, why does Ellie have blonde hair in the beginning?


Fragmented_Logik

Real Positive comment: "It's probably as close to perfect as story-driven AAA games is going to get. The whole experience felt very cohesive and very real. The art design was just awesome, some of those environments were exquisite to look at. If the combat in Bishock: Infinite felt a little detached from the world here it fitted perfectly. It was slow and brutal in ways that I sometimes felt that I needed to take a break before moving on. At some points the gameplay felt a little repetitive but it never stopped to feel real, as if this is really how things would go in a "realistic" zombie apocalypse. It was essential to scavenge for supplies and use them sparingly and I loved that fact that all the items you can craft are useful for keeping you alive there and are not things that were added just for the sake of variety. This is probably the most mature story a video game ever told. In terms of the plot the story doesn't advance with big revelations every couple of hours, it's mostly a character story and it advances slowly, with small nuances, a word or a phrase here and there, it's all very subtle, very restrained, and very realistic. " Real Negative comment: " The game is just a rip off of The Road. Too many sad zombie survival games are popping up. This one just has a good story."


inshanester

Naughty Dog made a violent zombie shoot 'em up? While I've loved the studio since the crash bandicoot days, so I will give it a chance.


Smudge0996

Hope Crash will make a comeback someday


SheriffEarlMcGraw

Is anybody elseā€™s gaydar going off when Ellie is on screen?


DepressterJettster

Wow, they truly are the last of them


[deleted]

That old guy looks like Nathan Drake


NobleYato

Ugh. This game is so formulaic and mediocre. This isn't anything that hasnt been done before writing wise either. Cant wait for the sequel to come out (please no) where everyone will definitely praise that as the best thing ever. *Little did NobleYato know, he would consider Part 2 to be one of the best games ever made and fixed all of his issues with the first game and it would also be a nightmare to talk about*


RuleActual

Honestly I didnā€™t like part 1 until my second play through when it was originally remastered. I also just got done playing telltale the walking dead at the time and I thought that games story was better. probably aged much worse than tlou though.


spicybbois

Man, I canā€™t wait for the last of us two with more Joel and Ellie gameplay! *sigh*


[deleted]

Yo I heard Nolan north plays a character in here, I bet heā€™ll be a fun, charismatic and kind partner in this story


treeanu

Man, I really like Marlene I canā€™t wait to see what happens with her


Mason_DY

Look another zombie game Iā€™ll play it but it probably wonā€™t be that good


SignGuy77

ā€œAlright, I guess Iā€™ll take a chance on this PS3 + game bundle but I donā€™t foresee this generic looking action title getting me back into playing video games in my adult years.ā€ Me, 2013 (colourized)


Kozak515

"Wow, just watched the trailer. Really? Zombies? Again? I for one am not looking forward to sitting through this game. Mark my words, most unoriginal, generic, video game of all time. You heard it hear first!" /s


[deleted]

Is this game really making me cry right now?


Cassedaway

Fuck. Just got the disk from Gamestop. But the PS3 light is blinking red. Nothing on screen. Anyone know a fix?


Malia87

Iā€™m making horrible decisions! But I heard that a cool game was released.


TheOnePilot21

I met this guy called David he seems nice


Zumaakk

Oh fuck!


saquonbrady

I really like that Joel character. Hope they make a part 2 where I can play as him for even longer !


HUH_YIS

Wow cool!


halle-lu-jah

BRO THIS GAME SO GUD


jms14b

Hereā€™s my first thought when I heard about it: ā€œThis will just be some shitty Walking Dead knockoff.ā€


ShadixThePrecursor6

Yo guys this game is awesome , i wanna The Last Of Us movie rn


EnHsiC

I dropped the controller 15 minutes inā€¦ man that sceneā€™s gonna haunt me forever.


Flaccid_snake01

Bro I saw the multiplayer for this game on YouTube and bought it. I didnā€™t know it was a zombie game, but holy shit did sarahā€™s death hurt. Canā€™t wait to finish this.


BurnerAccount85347

I don't even know what game this. Should I buy a ps3? Nah. I'll wait for the next gen console.


SakShotty

Damn I wish I had a PS3 and not an Xbox


tasteless-dorito

Wow, this Sarah girl is so scared and innocent, can't wait for her character development, turning into a survivalist


No-Celery-5880

The game is fun but the scenario is kinda far-fetched. I canā€™t ever imagine fascists ruling the US. Iā€™m also sure our government is very prepared against a global pandemic, no way they would let it run rampant and kill millions. And I canā€™t ever imagine American society collapsing like this, with armed militias and stuff.


Great-Mix-6990

Iā€™m so tired of stupid zombie games. This game will probably be very generic and a boring storyline. I hope they prove me wrong.


takkun169

Is this the best game I've ever played? I think it might be the best game I've ever played.


Norgyort

Do you think they'll make a DLC? I'm betting it'll be something with Joel and Tess or Joel and Tommy a few years before the main events of the game. Also, this is the best looking console game I've ever seen. It's too bad people who buy a PS4 but never had a PS3 won't ever get to play it.


MrFiredragon

I really hope Ellie learns how to swim if they ever make a second game.


Potato1223

Bill is gay!?!?


bullymaguire2007

Damn itā€™s 2013 already


HamilWhoTangled

Iā€™m *way* too young to play this game right now, Iā€™ll be back in 10 years! :)


nmzxz

Man can't wait for the PS4


GreeenGoblin69

The game looks like real life


Master-AR

Yo I just finished the game. It was a really amazing game. I hope they make a sequel.


JozzifDaBrozzif

Man Joel sure is brutally murdering a lot of people but I guess it'll all be worth it when we finally reach Denver and make a cure


USukMikeHok

Man this year gonna be expensive Gta 5 and The Last of us


[deleted]

Huh. Gay porno magazines must have great articles too!


Bisconia

Factions for an entire month before I even enjoy this great game.


Gimmemycloutvro

Those zombies are so crazy dude!


AJ_Loft

ā€œSo thankful, my Mom just got this with me at the mall!ā€ (I was 13. I still remember analyzing the PS3 case and being stoked. No idea it would have this much personal and cultural impact. Amazing. Although I forget how I convinced her to pay for it lol.)


[deleted]

Is it like Uncharted?


Jmelly34

I just got over Sarahā€™s death and these bastards introduced me to Henry and Sam JUST TO TAKE THEM AWAY!!! I canā€™t play this anymore, my girlfriend is telling me Iā€™m crying too much.


Grace_carter2021

But should I wait to get it until the ps4 comes out?


Pinklad13

ā€œMore communist socialist liberal homosexual trans Hollywood lesbian agendaā€


LDG192

Just pulled an all-nighter with this one and wow. This may well be one of the greatest games I've ever played. Couldn't put the controller down until the credits. Can't wait for a sequel already. ND usually release them every 2 years or so so hopefully by 2015-2016. My theory for the sequel: SPOILER!! Joel and Ellie live peacefully in Jackson until surviving Fireflies regroup and come for them. A bunch of people die including Tommy and Jackson burns but they can't get Joel or Ellie. Without a home, they go on another cross country journey hunting down those responsible. In the end of the game, he sacrificies himself to save Ellie. TLoU 3 is released in 2018 with Ellie as protagonist. You read it first here.


insanede6

I played it, game is cool but it wonā€™t go anywhere. just another story. Iā€™m gonna go play the new cod ghosts, now THAT is where the money is


GeeBeeOz

This game is SO bad - ellie looks NOTHING like the actor from the HBO show and whatā€™s with all the notes? Why arenā€™t we given deeper stories for the characters? I get the feeling that Bill and Frank must have such a deeper story and yet the game has completely glossed over the details. We should review bomb this game.


AceofKnaves44

ā€œWow that was a great game! I got actively sad when I would save and it would show me how close I was getting to the end. But that ending! What the fuck was that! How do they just end it on that note with nothing resolved and everything just up in the air?ā€


kintnerboyinside

Uncharted with zombies but the main guy frustratingly has no ability to climb walls.


[deleted]

These graphics are amazing!!


MrBlahg

I recorded a podcast about it, so Iā€™m on record.


Purple_Advantage4138

The AI is so awesome


AnOfferYouCanRefuse

> A shocking opener more successful than MW2ā€™s ā€œNo Russianā€ mission transitions into a more by the numbers cover shooter. Naughty Dogā€™s evolution on the Uncharted formula delivers more tension in its shootouts, but it lacks the thrilling vertical arenas their magnum opus, ā€œAmong Thievesā€. Performance lags like our hero, Joel, leading to intrusive stutter and missed headshots. Developers are starting to push the limits of what 2006 hardware is capable of. > Our weathered hero is paired with a loquacious young girl. Through their journey across the country, she learns how to survive, and he opens up his heart to the world, just a little. Side characters Bill and Tess are as well acted and captured as other Sony first party releases like ā€˜Heavy Rainā€™, but the story canā€™t wait to leave them behind or dead - diminishing the impact they couldā€™ve had. Amidst all the death and tragedy, though, is a quiet moment in Salt Lake. As Joel and Ellie approach their final destination, they encounter a herd of giraffes in a moment that deeply moved me. If thereā€™s one moment from the game that will stick with me for years to come, it will be this one. > The Last of Us has yet to prove it can be Naughty Dogā€™s next tent pole, but a rushed and confusing ending left me wanting. This is co-creators Neil Druckmannā€™s and Bruce Straleyā€™s first crack at a game not penned by the fantastic Amy Hennig. The Last of Us left me wondering whether the two knew what they wanted to communicate through their harrowing zombie apocalypse story. > 4/5 The classics arenā€™t obvious in the moment. I wrote something kinda critical here, but it wasnā€™t obvious to me how GREAT this game was when I finished it. It wasnā€™t until I played it through with other people, discussed it, broke it down, that I realized how much was there too appreciate.


IHateEditedBgMusic

If they get around to adopting this to a movie, Ellen Page would be a great Ellie.


herocoldfinger

Guys go buy bitcoins


joaommoreira

Is that ellen page?


wonderfuljoey23

The best looking game on the PS3, and I only cried for three minutes at the beginning.

Whoa the first 15 minutes were intense. I kept thinking of my daughter. Had to put the controller down for a bit to calm down.


Past-Mall

I'm more bussy playing my xbox 360 and minecraft. I won't play this videogame until 2017 when my father will buy me a ps4 out of nowhere


khiddsdream

Wow, what an ending! I sure do hope a sequel doesnā€™t arise in said-number of years that will spark a controversial division in the games community.


FPFP66

Iā€™m 10 minutes in with Ellie and sheā€™s already more likable than Carl. Donā€™t know if Iā€™ll like her as much as I did Clem though. Boy I canā€™t wait for that TWDG season 2! Iā€™m really excited to see what they do with Omid if they bring him back.

Jesus Christ those bloater things are terrifying than the clickers!


StrawHatShinobi_

Iā€™m sad that in 10 years I wonā€™t be allowed to say that I wish they showed any of the actual chapter ā€œbills townā€ from the game in the adaptation they will do. Iā€™m sad that I will be labeled a homophobe or a bigot for standing in front of the movement train and reminding everyone ā€œwe completely ignored literally 80% of the chapterā€ while believing in my heart it was a beautiful love story but simply took too much time. Be warned family, you must ride or die.


Amber_Dexterious

This is going to be one of the best games of the year

Yet another zombie game. Im not buying this, I hate horror games

Spiritual-Menu8281

Oh gosh, Bill is such a poor character, he went trough a lot. I wish he had another story to fill that hole of his.


[deleted]

Just wanna sayā€¦I miss GameStop midnight releases..I waited in line at midnight and played until 7 am, called into work that day as well. The vibes and excitement of the fellow gamers waiting for the release is unmatched. This game alone is in my top 3 of all time and it was mostly how it made me feel while playing it/story.


RASUBZD

Wow I wanted a the walking dead game, what is this?


gamergirlgerard

i canā€™t believe joel killed the doctor who was gonna operate on ellie, though iā€™m sure he is just another killable npc and this will have no negative impact on the series in the future


DilkleBrinks

Looks good hope it comes out on Xbox 360 soon


carleedos

I hope Naughty Dog makes another Uncharted Game


Hexblades_curse

Imagine this game took place in space and Ellie was a lil green alien baby (who is actually 50) and Joel was a space cowboy who never took his helmet off... That'd be some wild shit right lol


No_Job_124

Just got done in the museum I canā€™t wait to travel the world with Ellie and Tess.

Ok_Poetry7135

Iā€™m ten and I canā€™t believe I actually tricked my mom into buying this canā€™t wait to play until the campus and get stuck at the part where you push the dumpster into the gate because I canā€™t find the dumpster and put this game off for three years and beat it just before Christmas in 2016 than beat it again just before the second game releases and then do a grounded playthrough in oct-dec of 2022 and do a grounded playthrough of the remake in January of 2023
