The Best of PS3
PlayStation and Xbox have always been able to swing their crowds based on the bias of the game series they have exclusive ownership to. Halo has Xbox and gears f War and then PS3 has Metal Gear, Uncharted and other stuff like that.
To be honest I don't particularly care about those games much at all. As long as I can play my Fallout and Batman I am happy. Anyway, The Last of Us definitely gives any PS3 owner bragging rights over their Xbox brothers, sisters or cousins, or maybe just friends.
It's sort of awkward though because it was released at such a dubious time where no one is going to switch consoles to play this because they're waiting for the next gen stuff. So yeah, that's kind of weird. There are several people who can't play it that have just watched the walk-throughs. I know I did stuff like that with Arkham Asylum before I bought myself a console.
Ugh, I'm getting off track. Basically I finished playing The Last of Us and I must say that it was one of the most amazing gaming experiences I've ever had. In fact, it might be the best game (even if it isn't the most enjoyable) I've experienced. The story is just so riveting and powerful and leaves you at the end wondering if what just happened was right. it's a very emotional game and the game-play is so amazing too.
I just can't stress enough how beautiful, albeit terrifying, The Last of Us is.
I may or may not play it again. We'll see.
