Rank these 3 games...The Last Of Us, The Walking Dead Season 1, or The Walking Dead Season 2

[Lucas Earthbound]

Rank these from 1 being best to 3 being worst
FOR EXAMPLE:
1.The Last Of Us
2. The Walking Dead Season One
3.The Walking Dead Season Two

I'd probably say:
1.The Walking Dead Season 2
2.The Last Of Us
3.The Walking Dead Season 1

I just recently finished both The Walking Dead Season 2(just a few minutes ago :p) and The Last Of Us aswell as the expansion pack 'Left Behind'(Yesterday). I'd probably say those two might be tied...especially because of The Last Of Us's gameplay...but IDK. You decide!

I´m gonna put the unpopular oppinion in here and you can hate me all you desire for it, but is my honest take on this matter: The Last of Us is the stupid people version of The Walking Dead. Embrace yourself, I´m a talkative one and even I know this is gonna be a long post.

1- Speed on your zombies: This isn´t something new, we are allready use to running zombies that exced the speed they would have if they were still alive, but usually we forget HOW did this happen: Zack Snyder didn´t think it was sacary to have slow zombies on his revival of the Zombie genre when "updating" Dawn of the Dead, which translate for me as : Neither me or my crew are enough good writers to make scary something that isn´t comming on bullet speed towards you or any scene that doesn´t involve speed paced action. Videogames obviously realise that this was specially practical on interactive products, as the fast moves of the creatures would rise the involvement of the player into the action, and Resident Evil 4 came along, Left 4 Dead,etc,etc... While I agree that, on an action point of view this may sound perfect, it makes for a worst scenario to embrace other parts of the story beyond running away from rabbish creatures, less time for other short of scenes and, most importanly, it makes supher the next point....

2- Human are evil, becuase of.... humanity??: First of let me clearify what I just said in the other point. In a world were the zombies are that much of a thread that they can jump building vertically, run a millon kilometers without getting tired and a lot more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, why would any human see other humans as the enemy?? The thread is too big to justify it, while slow zombies are not always a thread, thus people reacts to their new invorement differently when they actually have the time to stop and think about it. Now onto the point: In walking Dead everyone you meet COULD be a danger, and is up to you who would you trust. In Last of Us, other than Juno and Jhon last of Us (I would ignore their real names as this is how I call them for the whole game while playing with friends), every other human is a rapist sack of lies that would kill you just for fun of it. How suttle, how grand vision, how....STUPID. Is like all of those movies post 9/11 about fear and how bad people are all evil inside, uuuggh the Purge with Ethan Hawke, stupidiest movie in years. If every other human you gonna introduce is gonna be like that may as well just make them all nazis and get it over. And I know not all the people you encounter are violent, but there´s deff a "white and black" set of moral in every human in the game.

3- Could not give a ♥♥♥♥ about the ending: Swear to me that blablablabla.... Not happy, not sad, no feel of achievement, the story decided to end there...Ok, fine. DLC didn´t fixed that for me either, didn´t understand what was the point of a prequel. But must importanly, I didin´t felt like a watched a complete story, neither did I felt myself to have achieved any short of ending. Workd for some people, granted, it just didn´t for me.

4- Too much similarities: The two games are just too similar, so I can honestly only care for one. Walking Dead had a better story for me. And people bash Walking Dead for "not having gameplay", but at least I did got to choose a few things about how the story played, with more buttons to push THe LAst of Us is as well a single hallway, but one with less options, a story that is set trough action scenes or dialogue scenes that I have almost no input on and some QTE that are basically just ripped off from TellTale´s formula. It had more graphics tough, but I´m too old to be impressed by that, flashing colors on my eyes don´t make games for me.

5- originality: So, infections....and zombies that go faster....and the world is destroy becuase STOPSTOPSTOP, Zombie Apocalypse, and that´s it, why did they need to add so much "new stuff" to a stablished genre when in the end you´re just gonna guide yourself by the same rules in that genre??

6-Fandom: It´s a Sony Exclusive, meaning you got fanboys willing to put the game higher that it deserved just because. Not saying exlcusive games are bad, lots of them are great and this one is not bad itself, it´s a great deal if you have a PS3 or 4 and like Naughty Dog style. But the game is gonna get overrated by fans of the console, just look at Nintendo, the complaing about COD and what not but they are being buying the same franchise for years and years and years with little to none new features, I donñt care is each 4 years instead of each one. COnsole fanboys really pushed the number and sales of exclusive games (and the PC master race is no better, we can come as stupid also), and I think this game is just one of those games that, having being a multiplatform, it would probably had gotten more bashing and more mixed feelings that the mayoritie of "OMG best thing in da world until next GTA!!!"


There´s nothing new to The Last of Us, and is a game I would rather have seeing a movie about it than played, even playing it three guys and one girl I found it difficult to take the joystick when it was my turn, cause I didn´t want to play, I wanted to see the next scene after going from point A to B for the hundred time to see if I liked the story, and turns out it didnñt, or at least not at the extension of Walking Dead. Again, this is just my personal oppinion, and like I said an unpopular one.

No offense...but based on what you wrote...it seems like a lot of The Last Of Us haters just haven't played the game.First of all...like i said...i'm new to Sony...i'm not a fanboy and i STILL love The Last Of Us. And BTW there are a LOT of people that don't want you killed in The Last Of Us. Plus the game isn't supposed to allow you to make your own decisions...it's not supposed to...that's not what the game is. So there's no point in saying The Walking Dead is better because you get to decide who you trust.It just doesn't matter.And almost all the worth while characters in The Last Of Us are trustable anyways. The ending was...uh...good. I like the ending because i think it symbolizes how far the've come...all for nothing. But i will admit it wasn't the best ending in the world.The DLC i was extremely dissapointed with.It was fun but i found the Joel segments where you scavenge the mall to save him uneccesary,and not really explanatory.If you're going to make the DLC conect with the middle of TLOS's story mode...please give us more context.Also i thought the ending to the DLC was a dissapointment.I know they were trying to go for a "oh look how cool and nostaglic the DLC ends right at the part Ellie was talking about near the end of TLOU's campaign! COOL!" but it felt inproper....like there was still a story to be told of Ellie and Ryye trying to survive as long as they could before the infection spread. Honestly as much as i love the kid segments...i have to agree with you on the DLC ! :p As for number 5...i can kinda see your point...saying that they didn't add as much orginality as they could've which made the twist on the zombie apocolypse trope useless because the whole game still applies by the same rules...but i didn't have a problem with it.This just seems like nitpicking.Don't get me wrong they probably could've done a little more with the more realistic zombie outbreak...but still... it's not really a problem.The game wasn't set out to inivate the zombie genre of games...in fact you could argue it's not even a ZOMBIE game! It's just trying to put a more interesting spin on zombies for the sake of Atmosphere...not story! Also while it is similar to The Walking Dead it's not really that similar.A lot of the similarities are actually from The Walking Dead Season 2...which didn't even start till a few months after The Last Of Us came out...let alone finished much later.And Fandom isn't a reason to hate a GAME...it's a reason to hate the fans.I can see what you were going for....but in so many ways you're just wrong. Sorry bud :/

I'm kinda suprised how much people dislike The Last of Us. Don't get me wrong it's ovverated...but people on this forum are just acting like it's your typical 3rd person shooter...when it isn't :/

You really shouldn't be... it's not like a lot of console players participate in these PC forums. Ask the same question at IGN or Gamespot console forums and you'll get an opposite response.

None taken. I won´t consider myself a TLOU hater, I just didn´t enjoy the game that much, and like I said, is all my personal experience and opinion.

No the game is not about making decision, I was just point it out for two reasons: The first one being that Walking Dead gets accused of being a halway with no gameplay, yet the Last of Us noone consider it so, and FOR ME PERSONAL TASTE, I can get more gameplay value on choices than I do on the number of buttons you press during action scenes or if you actually control the chracter while it runs or not. And second becuase, in comparation, I prefer dialogue choices rather than action, but again, that´s just my personal preference. I didn´t say it was a better game or worse becuase it had more or less choices, I stated that for me choices make a more replayable game and a more personal experience.

I still think most characters in that game are mannequins, extremely violent or not depending on what mood the game has. Other than Joel and Ellie...sorry, Juno and Jhon Last of Us, no other character made an impact on me, neither did they felt real for the most part. Again, this is a personal matter.

And I don´t hate the game becuase of fandom, I just pointed out that, in my opinion, the game is overrated becuase it´s an exclusive, and not a ground breaking one. I was a SOny player before coming back to PC a few years back, and I was damn proud to have Shadow of the Colossus on my PS2, I whish that was a multiplatform game, but being a Sony user and having the game where different things for me, I didn´t felt like I should use the game to make a point about "my console is better than yours", and sadly that´s what most exclusive games are turn to eventually. The Last of Us didn´t invented nothing on the gameplay department, and that´s why I think that it takes advantage of the exclusive, becuase if it was a multiplatform, a lot more people will just go "been there, done that, next game". Lots of games that get great notes on launch as exclusives do really well, but when hit multiplatform they don´t. On XBOX I was amazed by Twisted Pixel work, but here on the PC I can find a better choice for that same genre, or something bigger, or more experimental...becuase there´s more to coose from you´re allow to uso your personal preferences on whatever genre you may want to play, while on consoles a smaller catalogue and the exclusives can force the consumer to put those games on a higher pedestal, whatever is it justified or not. I think that bring up this is important when speaking about any exclusive game.

You´re really confused on my message, I do not HATE the game and I didn´t expose the reasons why someone should hate it as well, I just pointed out why, for me, is a lesser atractive version of what the Walking Dead opher if we comparate the two games (which is the point of the thread), the things that brings up that are not similar to the walking dead are not of my interest, and as an standalone experience without thinking of the Walking Dead, it still felt like an overrated game for me. It´s the kind of game I would never replay, I would not buy the HD remake for PS4 even if I had the console, I would not buy if it hit PC, I would not care if the universe is continued and I would deff forget about the game all together in about 4 to 5 years.

If you like games that are dialog choice heavy, you should give these a try:
Beyond 2 Souls
Heavy Rain
Alpha Protocol (can be gotten on PC here at Steam)
Fahreneheit (can be gotten at Gog.com for about 10 bucks)
http://www.gog.com/game/fahrenheit_indigo_prophecy

I figure everyone already knows about KOTOR, Mass Effect, Bloodlines, Dragon's Age and the like....

I actually REALLY want to play Beyond 2 Souls and Heavy Rain, but sadly my PS3 owner friend is against most narratives games, may rent them someday and play on my sisters PS3, but she´s too deep into GTA V right now and probably won´t let me close to the console XDXD

Fahrenheit was soooooo cool men. Played on PS2 again just 3 years ago with a friend who had never played, it´s one of those games that I would simply LOVE to have on Steam.

I think Indigo propehcey was a good classic on ps2.

This choice is very easy for me:
1: Last of Us
2: WD Season 1
3: WD Season 2

The Last of Us is so well written that I can't deny it. The gameplay is great too and nothing feels unneeded or out of place, even the multiplayer is great fun with its meta game. Everything about it is just right, and the DLC story is one of the best.

The Walking Dead season 1 is great too, but on multiple playthroughs it can feel boring and the illusion of choice sticks out more often then not. But overall season 1 was a fantastic game which hit me harder than I ever would have thought.

Season 2... well what can I say? Starter great and as it went on I got more and more annoyed with how baddly written the whole thing was. Choice matter so little to an annoying degree and dramatic moments went nowhere or served no purpose (Finale Spoilers: See Clem gets shot or Nick's Death).
Season 2 also failed to live up to all the promise of both Season 1 and 500 Days.

I'm not a console gamer either but ii try to give console gaming a fiar shot. But i see your point.

[alf13k]

1. TLOU
2. TWD season 1
3. TWD season 2

Funny, I read all the remarks, but I simply don't think there is a comparison. TWD isn't even a game. It is a beautifully written story, well at least season 1 is, that you are asked to push a few buttons and manipulate occasionally. Yet, in the end, it's just a fancy choose-your-way novel from the 80's.

I understand all the fan hate toward TLOU. People love to hate games that are overhyped and overpraised by the media. However, I still found it to be a rather refreshing experience, although the story did have holes and was somewhat predictable.

Oh boy, here comes the "is not even a game" guys.

Anyway, the reason we are making a comparison is because the OP ask for one, so........
