I've been meaning to watch this movie. I heard that it's

ye's

Do you want an unbiased opinion from someone who's not a Sonyfag any more, someone who had it on PS3 but doesn't own a PS4?
It's pretty good. If you want an atmospheric game about traveling with a teenage girl through a post-apocalyptic world, it's good. the gameplay is nothing special, but it's not bad either. The combat itself is fine, but its linearity makes it inferior to most survival horror games. No locked doors, no real items or anything. It's not really a movie game, just a linear game with some dialog and cutscenes.
basically, pick it up for cheap, play through it, never really bother with it again. It's worth your time, at the very least.

haha le movie hah

>>381212590
You're thinking of Beyond Two Souls, the other one that also has Ellen Page. Except The Last of Us doesn't actually have Ellen Page.
Anyway, it's about the same as Half-Life 2 except if Alyx were with you the whole game and Gordon talked. If that's a movie game too, then whatever.
HL2 is better of course since the linear style is better for a standard FPS, The Last of Us would have benefited from needing to find keys in another area like Resident Evil or something instead of just finding a ladder two feet away from where you need to use it.

>>381212132

Story driven games aren't allowed to exist.
You can use the video game medium for literally anything except making an interactive story.

If a movie is slow and shows the same imagery for a long time, it's actually a photo album.

>>381214115
It's just shitposting. Best way to deal with it is to ignore it.
Multiplayer is one of the best team focused games around and it's still active.

Not an answer to question. Also your personal opinion is not argument at all.

Why? What's wrong if game has story?

>>381215409
Because sarcasm, familia

>>381212132
Its a pretty good character story, and the gameplay is a little samey but not too annoying

Plus multiplayer is surprisingly fun

I liked it a lot. Recently beat it. If you like the Uncharted games at all, you'll enjoy it.

It still has some of the modern naughty dog quirks that come with this sort of animation-heavy gameplay, but I had fun with it and enjoyed the story.

>>381214115
>How?

It's very linear. There is barely any exploration. And the gameplay itself is pretty repetetive. There is little enemy variety. There are just 3 types of zombies + human enemies with different weapons. The strategies to beat them are always the same. The """puzzles""" consist of you finding a board for Ellie to get across water, some platform that you need to push around a bit to get to higher places and sometimes turning on a generator to open doors.

Take a game like Metal Gear Solid 2 for example. It's full with cutscenes yet if you took them all out it would still be a good game. There are lots of optional missions that you can complete which are fun because the gameplay is fun.

In Last of Us the gameplay, similar to Uncharted, is there just to fill the gaps between the story progression. Without the story Last of Us would be a very medicore game that I would probably quit playing halway through because of the monotony. I only kept playing because I wanted to see the story progress.

Surprised nobody has mention the online. I would probably slaughter everyone on /v/ online. Im talking Absolute Victory on Interrogations and a 19-0 victory on Survival. Im that good.

Also, Scoped Semi-auto + Shorty masterrace reporting.

>>381217209
See, that's what you idiots don't understand. A game can have a story without trying to be a cinematic movie. Past RPG's didn't try to be movies. Even when games were influenced by movies in the past, like Doom, they were all about gameplay. Same isn't true today. ie games like The Last of Us are cancer and bad for the gaming industry. Especially when all those idiots are impressed by the most lackluster stories imaginable and they think they're "great." It's just fucking pathetic.

If you think TLoU is a movie you need to increase difficulty accordingly. Don't expect underage shitposters give solid reason as to why this game is supposedly a movie.

The mere fact that the combat is deep enough to allow for a competitive multiplayer mode is proof enough that it's not just some movie game like Heavy Rain

This, I don't even understand why their is a "movie" meme, this game has very short cutscenes and only in the beginning and end of a level (with a few exceptions), you spent way more time playing than watching.

>>381218178
If you double upgrade a bow it shoots like a machine gun.
It's my favourite because armour piercing (always 2 shot) and one shot headshot downs (even with helmet) and if that isn't enough, retrievable ammo and silenced.
And if you are good with it it's good at close and medium range, but long range it's not very good.

>>381218440
It's because they haven't played the game and are retarded. Combining both of those the movie meme is born

>>381218678
Also you are wrong in many ways, and I seriously doubt you have ever even seen gameplay

Let's drop some fucking facts, nerds

TLoU is alright. The gameplay is fine. The story is mediocre.
The only thing, the ONLY thing, that makes people think it's 10/10 greatest story ever told is that the voice acting doesn't suck cock.

If the game actually were a movie, regular old 2 hour zombie thing, it'd get like a 75% on RT.
Anyone who has engaged in any artform outside of video games has seen many, many stories pull off what TLoU does but better.
But journos have to jerk each other off and pretend like video games are a legit medium so they wank it up over the good presentation.

The normie plebs who love it are people who can't comprehend a weird, non-linear story like Deus ex or Witcher and just want to be fed nice visuals and likeable characters.
They've never experienced a good story in a video game because game writers suck cock.

It's worth a playthrough to see what all the fuss is about and that's it.

>>381218876
I'll concede that it's a character story and therefore driven by actors, but the themes of Joel's grieving and loss are deep enough to give it some value too
I wouldn't say the gameplay is a better feature than the story though

>>381218773
More of a movie than TLoU. Whether it's a better game, I can't tell you.

Can underage shitposter ever form a proper argument?

>>381219338
The issue being that it really only scratches the surface.
"He misses his daughter so he makes Ellie into his replacement daughter" is really it.
Then he does some incredible sociopath shit over the course of the game and especially at the end and it puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm all for tragic characters but I feel like the game portrays Joel as somehow being in the right, and the number of "b-but what if the fireflies were wrong????" defense forces backs that up.

>>381219775

You're missing the point of Joel. He forced himself to not grieve and became a sociopath as a result. It makes him cruel and twisted, like when he tells his brother "we survived because of me" and his brother says "it wasn't worth it"
Joel can't cope with loss and becomes so attached to Ellie he would kill 200 innocent soldiers and destroy mankind over her, not because he misses his daughter, but because he won't accept that his daughter is gone

Then it's not a movie, is it?

>>381220260
I mean yeah. But none of that is "deep." None of that explores what it means to lose a loved one or how a person can shut out trauma.
It's a character arc, better than most game characters get, but again, any decent movie will do as much or more.
It's a fine arc that's well-presented but I fail to see how anyone sees it as 10/10 GOAT.

>>381220005
>Then he does some incredible sociopath shit over the course of the game and especially at the end and it puts a bad taste in my mouth.
i think that's the point anon. For how attached we've grown to him throughout the game, we find Joel isnt inherently a good guy. If really look back on he rest of the game before the end he had no issue murdering lots and lots of other people. You can say self defense, but one way or another joel is a hardened killer. In all honesty the ending didnt sit well with me either, but after some reflection i think thats what makes it interesting and memorable.

>>381220562
I put as GOAT as a video game character story because the only contenders are telltale type games with zero gameplay.
Compared with novels or movies I wouldn't rate it very highly because the mediums are different. Had it been written as a book, it would have gone into the character's heads a lot more, and as a movie it would cut out 90% of the fights and make it just a sad parental story

>>381220665

Every enemy in a room will walk around in a pattern. And if you're dealing with the infected sometimes one of them will stand in one place while the others walk their patterns. If an enemy came towards you then you must have been in its pattern or you threw something and attracted it to your area.

>>381222001
Because Logan was a terrible movie which didn't advance the plot of the xmen series and in fact just was a crappy foundation to start another series with new mutants on>>381222006

>>381222235
>Because Logan was a terrible movie

Look up rule 2, kiddo

>>381214115

Brainlets can't handle a game with a plot more complex than save the princess from the evil turtle.

>>381222495
The main elements are that the mutants are a small group fighting for good and that the evil government agencies need to be stopped but can't be.

However I notice the problem that the plot never advances, and the same "mutant X" and "mutants should be our tools" idea was in Origins: Wolverine some five years ago

The only thing this movie really accomolishes is killing off every mutant so they can continue cashgrabbing with a new set of characters so the repetition is less obvious.

>>381212132
It's not movie it's kino

>>381222881
Good execution. Tons of movies have the same themes/ideas.

>>381223158
I would excuse having the same theme, but when every xmen movie is a blockbuster and the series doesn't do anything it makes me wonder if it's actually similar themes or if Stan Lee just wants a thicker solid gold coffin

>>381212132
It's a great movie game. If you like post apocalyptic definitely go for it. Is the GOTYAY? No, it's overrated shit.

>>381223362
Stan Lee doesn't make the shots, companies do. Besides, it's X-men. What new theme would it explore if not death and companies are going to fuck us all over.

>>381223551
I get what you are saying but if they don't have any ideas for the series but keep making movies on it, it starts to really make me think they just want money. New xmen movies are the cinematic equivalent of remasters

Obviously. That's why Hollywood keeps pumping out movies based on movies people loved before like The Mummy.

I think the story of TLoU is better than Logan. Come on, Logan tries to be a good movie but fails because it can't really decide whether to be a serious well written story or just another holyshit action with plot holes. The best moment in the movie is when Charles hurts other people and suffers for it immensely because he wants to help others above all else. Patrick Stewart did some godly acting in portraying that emotion and the scene is great because it isn't forcefed but lets be honest there, that's all there is to the movie.

No. The Last of Us barely has any scenes where the characters talk about anything. It's all shooting and sneaking. How anyone can even consider tlou good is beyond me

>>381224385
No I mean in Logan. Really when you think about it the next movie (in maybe a year or two) will be the same stuff with new characters, and worse yet it will also have no plot progression and will be a blockbuster

Somewhat related: everyone I've read that has "played" To The Moon has liked its story (although they don't feel like ever going through it again). On the other hand, it seems to be a 4h rpgmaker walking simulator. I don't want to "play" a 4h bad pixel art movie, but I'm curious about the story.

I finished tlou rm a few weeks ago. The movie meme doesn't quite hold up since there is a decent amount of gameplay. The gameplay, however, didn't impress me all that much. The mostly stealth gameplay with brain dead puzzles put me off. The issues and voice acting were great but I wasn't drawn in to the story like so many others were. Story wasn't all that original or interesting. No i don't own a pc, switch or xbox.

>The Last of Us barely has any scenes where the characters talk about anything.
This is objectively false. There is a lot of talking during breather segments between sneaking or fighting and various missable dialogues. Cutscenes are short and on point. The good thing about TLoU is that it's subtle and doesn't force its ideas and character development onto you. Less is more.

>>381224525
The last movie I enjoyed was Days of the future past but it had some scenes I'd take away (lke the existence of flying humanoid robots in the past and the idea they are reprogrammed just because Magneto pulled some wires into them). There was a great opportunity with the trilogy which even started out great but then we dungoofd with fanfic tier story.

>>381228985
How come everyone who plays it has such shit aim then?

>>381228985
You mean there's aim assist? You're right, but the aim assist is much less pronounced than, say, Spec Ops The Line or Uncharted. It just slows down your reticule a little bit when you're sweeping it over an enemy.
