I've had the Ranch House glitch happen during my Normal+ play through. What causes it is if

I finished this today. It was pretty fantastic. And the ending:

Their relationship felt very real throughout.

Finally got a chance to finish this yesterday since I got held up moving and changing jobs.

Decent game, and it got better towards the end as the weight of the story finally took shape and Joel and Ellie's story got stronger, but overall I was a bit let down by the gameplay and often annoyed with the action sequences. I didn't have much trouble with the stealth, but the gunplay just wasn't particularly interesting to me and got tedious. Kind of wish I waited for this to get cheaper to play it, since it feels like just a one and done game for me, with zero interest to do the New Game Plus mode.

As for the end, I was a bit surprised at how it turned out.

Funny, for me the

I like how the ending creates different reactions and interpretations from people.

About the ending:

Yeah, and the article that Fandango listed has a couple other ideas that they were considering for the ending. I'm really glad that they chose this ending because it seemed like it fit the best for the way everything played out.

Spoiler Alert for alternate ending.

That's how I saw it as well. But I've also seen a lot of people with the rather wild (to me) notion that

Wrapped this up yesterday. I absolutely loved the story, writing, characters. etc. and the game did a fantastic job and creating a world. My only gripe would be the occasional areas where you pretty much have to die several times to learn how to deal with enemies. I guess you could argue the only way to solve it would be to make the game to easy, but with a story so well done, it'd pull me out of it to hit a section where I pretty much knew I was going to die a couple times to figure out how to progress.

Anyone else feel like they were playing an alternate take on Telltale's The Walking Dead? Spoiled for those who haven't played that:



It didn't bother me at all and they were probably just hitting the same genre cliches, but there were a couple times it really jumped out at me.

I ordered a PS3 yesterday purely because I want this game so much. I've always been anti-Sony, but The Last of Us looks so fecking amazing. Have skipped all of this thread to avoid spoilers or over-exciting myself, but argh, I want to play it so badly!!

Congrats. I can safely say, without any exaggeration, that this game is one of the best games I have ever played.

Some interesting stuff.

Great read. Interesting alternate story too. I think I prefer the way they went.

I hope the upcoming DLC ends up being the entire game as a musical.

Just finished.... Wow, GOTY IMO.

that was cute, but the build up was better than the actual video.

I liked that and wish they would fully animate it.

Any news on DLC??

Looks like there are three DLC packs planned. The first and third are multiplayer maps (yawn), but the second one is single player.

Glad I didn't buy the season pass then

Rented this today and am 9 hours in. It's an absurdly good game.

I was worried that I wouldn't like the stealth, but it's not bad at all, and it's not the kind of stealth where you can't fight your way out of it if you get spotted. If anything, the stealth feels empowering, which games hardly ever get right.

And the story is as good as any game I've ever played. I don't know how Naughty Dog does it.

Loved this game. I played stealth style as much as possible. I only killed enemies the game forced me to kill.

I just finished the game, and I could go on forever about how amazing it is.

Highlights:

• I'm man enough to admit I teared up at the opening scene
• So much storytelling done in-game (borrowed from Half-Life)
• Empowering stealth reminded me of Arkham Asylum
• Adding scavenging elements to a linear game made it feel more open
• The hunting scene was a masterful piece of storytelling for all the things it didn't say
• The kind of character development you usually only see in serial TV
• Presentation. I don't think anybody would have batted an eye if this had been on PS4.
• Every act had guest characters, and they were all interesting.
• Voice acting and facial animations...wow.

I'll stick with Mario Galaxy as my favorite game of this generation, but this one might be the best game of the generation. I know some people liked Tomb Raider better, and it was a fun game, but I don't think it's in the same league as The Last of Us. TLoU really mixed all of my favorite parts of Bioshock, Uncharted, Fallout, Arkham and Half-Life and wrapped them up in the best storytelling I've seen in a game to date.

Stunned.
