That ending was absolute perfection.

a whole new multilayer mode? wow, nice
i like how it's a title update and not dlc too
it's not that great of a mode imo
it's really short
i dunno, we've had a couple end up as tie games because the 15 minutes ran out lol
some people won't even unlock it right away if they can stretch out the length of the match (probably for the sake of getting more parts)
i honestly think it's a neat mode. there could be some improvements, but that could be said to any mode. hopefully there's a survival mode soon, and it's more than three players
[spoiler]also, maybe it's just my internet but whenever somebody prevents me from getting an interrogation with a shiv, the camera looks like it's panning to halfway across the map before the person shows up. [/spoiler]

Doesn't season pass come with every new copy?
no, you're thinking of the online pass lol
the season pass is an additional $20 and entitles you to all the dlc the moment it comes out at no additional charge (saving you 75 percent, or so they claim)
What a damn ruse.
Ordered my season pass

Yes I do. I played it frequently throughout the summer. You guys like to play when I am in bed though, which is why I only played some of the U2 matches.

the whole "how ellie's friend got infected and ellie turned out to be immune" backstory honestly seems like a pretty boring idea for a new story arc
to be honest i would've preferred something wholly new without joel and ellie at all
at least now it means i don't have to read the comics with their ugly art style
Quote from: David on November 15, 2013, 01:30:30 PM
at least now it means i don't have to read the comics with their ugly art style
srsly
yeah i'm kind of disappointed because we already know the gist of what happens between elliie and riley in the year before ellie meets joel
i was hoping for something more novel, or more bill/frank fanservice :'(
you know what would be cool
play as brother in the dam or whatever that was.
or maybe the black chick when she goes away
or even the pedo guy and you have to kill other stragglers.
though bill and frank story would be cool
i was also just thinking today it would be cool to play as tommy, the brother
after all, we know he roamed around for a long time and was part of more than one organization, which lends itself to separate story arcs. and he's just an interesting character. and it could even give us a glimpse of ellie and joel after their story because they go back to the dam. a glimpse that isn't through joel's eyes.
but i also think it would be really cool to see a completely different group of survivors in some totally other part of the country (or even some other part of the world???)
people we've heard nothing about yet. i want to know their story of survival.
mite b cool to play from a perspective from which ellie and joel are the enemy, since a number of their behaviors are p. questionable lol

so you wouldn't destroy a village for [I]your[/I] survival?
the game intentionally makes you feel a bit sorry for david's group during that part when you can hear him telling some woman to get the women and children into shelter

my survival over anyone else's. Fuck morals
[spoiler]not the point, certainly we would because we understand the context and what's at stake and of course we're playing from her perspective (plus we know david's an asshole)
the villagers have none of that information or context, to them she just seems like yet another (particularly destructive) infected terrorist hellbent on (and quite successful in) razing the meagre and already struggling society they've managed to painstakingly reestablish for themselves, which is something that precious few others in that world have left[/spoiler]
indeed
just like how, to most of the guys who were dispatched out from the group that you encountered in the college, you were just a "crazy man and a little girl" killing them off
this game did such a good job making no one character "the good guy" and that was really important to the game's setting and narrative
wow i love this game
http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/24/5340844/the-last-of-us-left-behind-is-the-final-story-dlc-to-come
the wording here irks me a bit. it shoult be 'the last of us: left behind is the only story dlc to come' idk
i saw the trailer and im not that pumped for the prequel and its disappointing that its the only story based dlc they will be releasing
agreed :(
i mean i'm sure it'll be good but meh
also for anyone thinking about getting this you may as well get the season pass (https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/cid=UP9000-BCUS98174_00-THELASTOFUSSEPAS?emcid=pa-we-26) for $5 more which entitles you to all the other (multiplayer) dlc

http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/the_last_of_us_season_pass_benefits_and_go_between_the_lines_with_neil_druc/
$20 for all the dlc as opposed to anywhere from $9 to $15 for each of the individual pieces
so why the hell would you buy individual dlc
that's the message they're trying to send
six days left
remember to get your season passes !! [glow=black,2,300]oh god look at me happily contributing to the very practices that are destroying gaming[/glow]
Tec would make for a good executive at Microsoft's Xbox division
that is my dream cry;
are they going to stop selling the season passes or smth
naughty dog has given no indication that they plan on discontinuing it any time soon, but with left behind a week away and since it'll probably be $20 no matter when i buy it i figured i may as well get it now
i have no idea how long season passes for video games are generally sold, or if they tend to still be offered even after all primary dlc has been released
i imagine at some point the season pass will stop being sold. but considering that compared to uncharted 3, there's so little dlc for tlou maybe not any time soon

fair warning to those of you considering this: it's allegedly only about two hours long lol #groundzeroes2 #hideouskojima[/spoiler]
that sounds on par with other dlc that i have played
for an extra chunk of game that was already explored in the comics, two hours isn't that bad. i mean the expansion packs to gtaiv were only what, ten hours or so?

but unlike ground zeroes, it's not $40
so it's not really comparable, and a great deal of dlc (especially for non-rpg games) are about this short anyway
fortunately it's only $40 for gen 4 consoles, gen 3 ones get a ten dollar discount awdood;
oh yeah
thank gourd for that
and if you're willing to buy digitally on gen3 consoles it's actually only $20 lol

i hope all the multiplayer additions don't throw the game's delicate balancing off, oh dog
and for those of you who don't own the season pass yet:
QuoteThe season pass will be available for four more weeks. After the week of 13th May, when the PlayStation Store updates in your region, the season pass will no longer be available. Get the most out of The Last of Us while you still can.
is it even worth it to get it?
each of the dlc releases if purchased individually would cost you $15
the season pass includes all of them plus some useless little extras for $20
so if you're interested in ever owning even 1/3 of the dlc content, then yes
is the single player dlc included in it?
yes
oh, I'll get it then
if you buy season passes you are scum
http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/17/5624914/the-last-of-us-ps4-discount-upgrade
in a perfect world the 'upgrade' would be free. but i imagine if naughty dog resold it to people who already have the ps3 version for between five and ten bucks, you'd probably get a lot more willing to upgrade to 1080p and [hopefully] anti-aliasing
does anybody still play this game

druckmann wrote the game too though
writing for screen is not the same as writing for a videogame and vice versa
yeah but the nature of this particular game has a lot more in common than screenwriting than most games would i think. he clearly has a good grasp on what makes a compelling story.
i'm cautiously optimistic on this one

I dont mind if they make a sequel, but hopefully they do a different story in the same world, rather than continue joel and ellie.
I mean, if they continue their story, there are so many things that could mess it up.
there's also just not much left to do with joel and ellie as far as i'm concerned
i feel like tlou's ending pretty well sealed their story tight, and i fear that re-opening it would undoubtedly lead the characters back to the question of whether or not joel's actions in the ending were justified. and i'd rather have that left up to player interpretation.
I'm so glad I'm replaying this game. The subtleties really passed me over the first time I've come to notice cry;
tec, what do you expect from the sequel that nolan north confirmed
obligatory kart racer joke
