The Last of Us

[Maxx]

I don't necessarily get why this has to be turned into a film. The game's already cinematic enough as it is.

Because it's a good story but not everybody plays games?

Because they made a movie about two plumbers, and a movie about street fighters, so everyone should get a chance?

I guess that's a valid reason, but...

Everyone should get a chance to take a beloved franchise and give it a huge black mark via terrible film adaptations just because other franchises got to?

Like I said in my post, TLOU is already cinematic enough on its own. It's built to be like you're watching a movie. Sony's basically going to pay what's got to be at least a hundred million to re-shoot the game's events, while risking everything fans liked about the game. What if the Clickers look too CGI-ey, what if new Joel and new Ellie pale in comparison to Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, what if they cut out certain subplots, etc.

[Nerf]

Surely you can say the same about every movie that's based on already established works?

[EWB's Best Poster.]

My point is those movies had no real plot, and got made. This one had a rich filled out setting. One that millions aren't seeing because its on a console that they don't own.

[King Ellis]

Hey now, slagging off the Mario movie is one thing but I wont hear a word against the masterpiece that is the Street Fighter movie.

The only thing worse than it is the other street fighter movie

Then...no one is affected whatsoever and the world keeps spinning?

[Your Mom]

I want to play this again even more now

[Maxx]

I'll just wait for the movie.

[King Ellis]

I'll just wait for the novelisation of the movie.

I'll wait for the game version of the movie of the game.

Hey! Just like street fighter.

If you're still playing The Last of Us -- or perhaps looking forward to its new "Grounded" DLC -- then you'll be interested to know that the game is on the cusp of receiving a new, meaty patch.

The patch, which is slated to be released within the next 24 hours, is numbered 1.07, and comes in at 151 MB. Most importantly, it adds the "Grounded Difficulty" to the single player campaign, a mode "for the toughest of the hardcore," with "super aggressive AI."

However, there are also a litany of bug fixes, which you can read about here. There appear to be around 44 fixes in total, in addition to making room for the aforementioned new DLC, as well as the addition of fresh Trophies (16 in total).

New trophies AND a higher difficulty? HUZZAH!

[Benji]

Is anyone else still playing the multiplayer? I find myself continuing to come back to it just because it's probably the most fun MP I've ever played without friends present.

[Baddar]

I'd forgotten just how tedious the first 45mins or so of proper gameplay is. I'm up to the part where the demo kicked in now - once that's done I can get on with enjoying it properly.

What's the general opinion of it from former 360 guys here?

[DavidMarrio]

Really enjoying it so far. Due to having a 360 originally I heard about how good this game is and so having now had a chance to play it i'm not disappointed so far. I haven't got far through it tbf but I am really enjoying it.

One thing annoying me is because I like to search for extras and check all areas a lot of the time I'm wasting my time

Also, multiplayer is really fun. Had a few games yesterday and thought it was good. I wasn't expecting much from the multiplayer so I was surprised with it.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

So, to finalise in my head whether I should get this once I platinum Watch Dogs, is this a 'must-buy' like Baddar told me weeks ago or not?

Over 200 game of the year awards. What do you think?

[New Damage]

Definitely. Admittedly I don't play many new games, but The Last of Us was my favourite last year. Only real contender was GTAV but you know what you're getting with GTA, so Last of Us pipped it.
