Current Events > I like how The Last of Us lied to us about being a survivor horror SPOILERS

(+) Yeah! (+)

The game held your hand through out the game. You're going to be fighting zombies soon? We'll let you know by showing spores and you can hear them screech half a mile away. Fighting humans soon? Well we'll give you a great secret hiding spot to start at and we'll make you a ninja and make everyone else a loud ass brutes. Oh yeah you literally have wall hacks too.

The survivor horror aspect of the game is an illusion by trying to say you only have limited low amounts of ammo and items but the fact is as soon as you empty your ammo on a group of hostiles, they always drop enough to refill your stuff back up.

But hey we'll have to play it on Grounded mode, a somewhat insane high difficulty, to get the expectations the game advertised.

i played TLOU on ps3 and loved it, but when i replayed TLOU on ps4 i started to see what you're talking about.

the game is super scripted and everything feels like it was set up to get you to play in a very specific way. as i was playing through the game i'd go "oh yea, i remember this part" and a lot of the game's appeal was gone. i did definitely get the "on-rails" feeling for a lot of the game, especially the zombie parts.

for the ammo & wall hack stuff i think that's just because TLOU is a mass market game, so they have to make it easier for players. personally i enjoyed that because i have a lot of trouble aiming with controllers (especially with the PS3) so it made the game more tolerable for me
