The Last of Us

[si-amigo]

So it looks like it will live up to the hype and then some, getting 10 out of 10 from most sources, included Edge magazine who I've never seen a 10 from before.

Does anyone know where the best pre-order deals are? For getting it delivered on the day (or before) and some good DLC to go with it?

Historically, Edge have given the top scores to Nintendo stuff - I specifically remember SM64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

This game does indeed look and sound fantastic. Can't wait.

Pre ordered mine from shopto ages ago, they normally deliver day before release - played the demo last week which was pretty good

The only one i can't agree with there is bayonetta. I thought that was just a button bashing graphics display.

Is there a way to get the demo without god of war ascension?

Naughty Dog, best known for the Uncharted series, has received near universal critical praise for its PS3 swan song The Last of Us. Our review gave it a perfect score, which doesn't mean the game is perfect, it just means that when The Last of Us launches next week, you won't want to be the last of us who plays it. "There are bitter pills to swallow along the way, and nothing is taken for granted, not even characters. People live, people die. Sometimes it's fair, sometimes it's not. It's still a zombie game, but a sobering one. Take a deep breath."

• Edge (100/100): "At times it's easy to feel like big-budget development has too much on the line to allow stubbornly artful ideas to flourish, but then a game likeThe Last Of Us emerges through the crumbled blacktop like a climbing vine, green as a burnished emerald."
• Eurogamer (100/100): "It starts out safe but ends brave; it has heart and grit, and it hangs together beautifully. And it's a real video game, too. An elegy for a dying world, The Last of Us is also a beacon of hope for its genre."
• Giant Bomb (100/100): "There are bitter pills to swallow along the way, and nothing is taken for granted, not even characters. People live, people die. Sometimes it's fair, sometimes it's not. It's still a zombie game, but a sobering one. Take a deep breath."
• Gamespot (80/100): "The Last of Us stretches on for hours, forcing you to endure the suffocating atmosphere and unrelenting despair that citizens of this world have become accustomed to. And that time spent navigating the desolate wasteland draws you deeper inside."
• Polygon (75/100): "It's not a fun place to be, and likewise, the game isn't really a fun thing to play."

GTA V best rock a bloody 12/10 based on those scores.

I used to like Edge, it's Games TM for me all the way now, for starters it hasn't got a massive job advert section or a wonderful shower of shit publishing house section either, and the pretentious stuff is left elsewhere.

Theres a glitch on autosave, lost a few hours of play because of it.

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks it was crap. I wouldn't have given it more than a 5/10. Pretty much agree with the rest tho and Ocarina of time is my favourite game ever.

Is this as good as the reviews? My copy came yesterday just have not had a chance to play it yet.

[crazyal]

Personally, I think it's superb. I think of it as Resident Evil on steroids.

I just managed to load it and start watching the intro and had to go out.

From what I've seen it's a beautiful looking game for sure.

I've started playing Tomb Raider this week and I thought my 4 hrs play getting 27% took the piss.

It tells you on the save screen.

Anyone else having problems with saving on this game? I press start and all I see is auto saving... Please wait but never saves, option to manually save never enabled?

[braymond]

No problems saving yet but only about 3 hours in. Loving the game - best thing I've played in a while , nothing has grabbed me lately not even last bioshock. The opening scene on this left me reeling !

Has your ps3 updated to v1.01? I've not had these problems, although the autosave does take a little while.

I'm on latest firmware, all officiall, and lost over 2 hours of gameplay because of the bug
