It is one my favourite games of this generation and ever. Another masterpiece of this generation was and is easily Red Dead Redemption, while I was disappointed with GTA IV, Rockstar delivered again with RDR. Another one gotta be Bioshock. Haven't played Bioshock Infinite yet :p

2 other fantastic games were Uncharted 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum in my opinion. Then ofc you have Demon's Souls and Portal 2. Hehe so many great games!

Ezz20133962d ago

my list For best games of this gen
have TLOU and RDR on the top too
1.TLOU/Demon Souls
2.RDR/Uncharted 2
3.GOW3/BatmanAC
4.Infamous2/Heavy Rain
5.Lord of shadows 1 and soon 2

@Ezz

"1.TLOU/Demon Souls "

Exactly. Exactly same as mine. I would put DS to number 2 since you can't put two together on same spot.

edwineverready3962d ago

I got demon souls free with plus, but am yet to start playing it. what makes this game so great in your opinion?

@lovable

well, i love demon souls as much as i love TLOU

before TLOU was out
Demon souls was my GOTG
now both are my GOTG :)

Lovable3962d ago

Same here brother same here

scott1823962d ago

Completely agree about re dead redemption, I hope they make another. I just finished The Last of Us and I can barely describe how amazing I thought it was, just fantastic.

ZodTheRipper3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

Quality-wise, in my opinion it's without a doubt the best game in this console generation. It showed me that games still have a long way to go. Naughty Dog took the first into next gen already with it.

GusBricker3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

It's a really, really good game, but...

*spoilers*

With Joel surviving from the type of wound he had for so long was just totally unbelievable and soured the story for me.

*end spoilers*

You do realize Ellie was taking care of him for a very long time.... right? Hence the "Season change" to Winter? So it's quite believable... The scene where he does get the wound, and interaction with the environment really displays a lot of character and it actually quite mindblowing. Extremely well done sequence. Just like the entire game...

CrossingEden3962d ago

actually no it was a case of the "cinematic bullet" trope

Ezz20133962d ago

@hellzassassin

couldn't say it better

TheFirstClassic3962d ago

Actually people underestimate how much it can take to kill a person. It isn't like it is in the movies, where one gunshot to the stomach causes death in about ten seconds. An organism's body will usually fight as hard as it can to survive, it is actually possible for someone to suffer such a massive womb and survive. Given, of course, they get medical treatment. I guess Ellie was able to sew up the womb, but of course, it got infected. Doesn't seem too unbelievable.

rpd1233962d ago

Ellie sewed up Joel's womb!?! :P

TheFirstClassic3961d ago

Wow... That was a pretty awkward typo on my part lol

assdan3962d ago

She was taking care of joel for at least a month, and could have been taking care of him as long as 3 or 4. It's completely believable.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast97d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs94d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast94d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs93d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast93d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer97d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6997d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs94d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6994d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger142d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2397d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid141d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast141d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
