Has anyone played this game, because I just finished it and all I could say is WOW... WOWW. WOOOOOOOOWW. And WOOOOWWW. And of course, AMAZING! I've never played a game before that tackles the human condition so well, for it to translate into a game. I haven't been playing any game on ps3 lately for the past 2 years because I do have my career, and my graduate school to worry about on a daily basis. I choose to play games on my PC anyway, since I can bring it anywhere and anytime. Unless I come prepared lugging a luggage, and inside a 60 inch flatscreen tv with a playstation 3 that I could plug in the airport or in a coffee shop. One of my friends got an extra copy of The Last of Us Game, cause he was planning to give it to his brother as a birthday present (he realised that the game was not too PG-13 for his little bro), and decided to sell it to me when the disc box-set was lying around in his house last weekend when I came to visit him, and I got to play it for at least 15 minutes. Not really play it, since it was all cutscenes at first. But bloody hell, was I hooked. He said that he pre-ordered the game for months now. Knowing myself that I'm very particular in playing a game that resonates with my emotional tugging of strings, or mentally challenging my cranial hemispheres; this game did both exceptionally well. This story could be pretty much be based from an award winning novel for all I know (and I know it's not) because the storyline is amazingly well-put together and the narrative is fantastic. I nearly bawled at the first 15 minutes of storytelling that happened in the game's cinematic, as I sat on my friend's couch. I screamed at him and said, "I can't believe they did that! This is so unfair. How much do you want for this? I need to play this game now!" He said, "$50 au." as he turned off the PS3. He wanted to surprise me further and didn't want to curtail my longing to play the game. And because he knew that I might have slept at his house and sat on that couch for hours, and might have destroyed our plans for meeting our friends that night. So I basically spent the whole weekend playing this game. So for those who have played this, what are your insights? I really felt like I didn't play a PS3 game. It was more like I read an amazing book, that happened to be a 17 hour film prose. . . which became a game in its own right. And the ending was so emotionally jarring that until now, I still have some questions of my own morality. I'm not saying it's in a bad way, but for me, it's a good way.
