some people poke fun at naughty dog for making interactive movies, but there was a shit ton of gameplay in TLOU. i'd say the gameplay sequences outnumbered the cinmatics 3:1

 

so for people sitting back in their computer chair, eating cheetos and watching a walkthrough on youtube, you sure as hell ain't getiing the same experience

They said at E3 2012 that it was all gameplay and was centered on it. I wasn't surprised.

No. Regardless of what people say, ND does make games that feature a lot of gameplay...whatever this means.

Where was this magnificent AI that people keep mentioning?! Your AI partners were so bad that they had to make them invisible to enemies...

No but im extremely surprised at how brutal this game is. This is more brutal than max pain 3 lol and its made by the same devs who've made those three casual shooters for you girl friend to try *cough* Uncharted.

that was bad, and probably ps3 limitations but if you've played the game for longer than 30 minutes you know enemy AI is awesome (and don't use that shitty wall hack, turn that shit OFF and see what dat AI does)

i really dont see the problem, one of my fav games of all time is mgs 4 and that game is like an interactive movie. Cutscene heavy or gameplay heavy all i care is that is well done.

To be honest - yes, I was surprised and happy that they took note after UC3.

Not that UC3 had little gameplay, but there were some unnecessary interruptions.

That's a really bad ratio. Should be more like 10:1 at least

@silversix: I own the game and have completed it twice. The enemy AI was certainly an improvement over Ellie/Tess/the other AI partners, but it never really blew me away. The infected seemed to have better observational skills than the humans, which is odd considering they're all on a one way train to blindness.

 

@shadiezz2012: I understand that it was a choice that benefited the game, I'm not doubting that (and I'm grateful, because I really loved The Last of Us). I just don't understand the praise that people can give the AI with such huge shortcomings, especially on the player side. The amount of times I laughed as Bill vaulted noisily over cover to hide in plain sight of infected, or Ellie getting in my way as I try and flank an enemy around a piece of cover... at certain points I had to actually reload from checkpoints because their actions f*cked up my play.

 

Quotes all f*cked up, so I edited it

I was happy with the length, I was worried it would be a 5-6 hour long game. The game was amazing in all areas.

i never said you didn't own the game at all ..i was just telling you why this has nothing to do with the Game AI ..it was desgin choice from ND that's all i however understand that some won't like the choice ND make with the AI partners...it didn't effect me or you as you said the Bill part you are talking about falls into the same "AI partners design choice from ND " what ellie did there was a glitch that happend to me one and others as will.....but very few times that didn't effect the game for me at all the Infected AI was pretty good but the humans AI for most part was amazing ....because the way the flank you or when they come at you from behind they don't rush at you like pretty much all games this gen i had alot of fun toying with the AI ....i loved when they beg for their life or when they run out of ammo or the part when there is only one human left with no gun he try to hide from you ...at one point one of them run and hide and i kept looking for him every where and all of the sudden he rush at me from behind that was very intense

I think when people say ND games are like interactive movies it's because you feel like you are playing a movie. Not because it's got tons of cut scenes like MGS4.

no, why would i be? Crash/jak are pretty much all gameplay. Uncharted is its own series.

Actually yes I was. I wasn't quite sure what kind of experience I was getting into but I definitely had considered the possibility that I might not be PLAYING as much of a game as most. Turns out that wasn't the case. And that masterpiece of a game was simply more of a masterpiece because of it.

the gameplay is too close to uncharted it's just a less linear uncharted melee combat system really blows just like uncharted.

I think we must of played a different game. In my opinion the combat and game-play was as good as anything i've played in the last few years and the story, characters and brutal world just put the whole game on another level.

MGS is so self indulgent it's ridiculous. I like the games but sometimes you forget you're playing a game when a character talks about jeans for 10 minutes.

For real. My girlfriend literally think those games are movies because when I played MGS4 she would watch, but would get bored after 20 minutes or so, and of course she only watched during those 30-40 minute cutscenes.

The little gameplay sections the MGS games do have are still pretty good, so I don't see why people would complain.
