Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Any idea how big the team was for this game, and how long it was in development for? Seems like this had to have had a massive budget. Im sure sales are pretty good, but i hope it doesnt end up like Bioshock Infinate and lose its ass.
Fantastic game though, one of my all time favorites.
Sean, i just went back and started Uncharted for the first time as well. It is really cool seeing the progression of what the team can do from Uncharted 1 to The Last of Us.

Bioshock was in development forever with a pretty huge team. Ive read that they could have close to $150M into it after marketing. It sold pretty well, but not 150M well.

Think it's even on Vita now too - was just looking for the Borderlands Xpac last night and saw a Jak & Daxter collection listed for Vita last night. Didn't look at it beyond the blurb though, so not sure which it covers.

It's an HD port for both PS3/Vita but it sounds like the Vita version isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I own the PS3 version, I've only watched someone playing the first game, but it looks like a good game to me.

Interesting to read - if it's crossbuy I might still Vita it when I get it anyhow though. 30 fps isn't bad to me as long as it's not much below.
Apparently following up on seeing when the Vita version released (apparently this week) it says there's a Jak IV in works for PS4 doesn't say the developer though or release window.

Got finished playing this. Pretty amazing game, maybe one of the best stories I have seen in a videogame.

Yeah, I think they did fine in the sales department.

I played on Normal Difficulty and it took about 12 hours or so. I got hung up on a few spots, but usually made it through those in about 20 minutes.
I tried a bit of multiplayer last night, but will have to give that more of a shot before judgement.
The game itself is just awesome. I was immediately brought in by the atmosphere. And the pacing was just right so if I would get tired of some area, that was usually when it would switch out to a new one. Great voice acting, decent enough plot, some great set pieces/gameplay, etc. Overall easily one of the top 5 games I have ever played. Right up there with Bioshock Infinite, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, and Amnesia.

I'm probably near the end and been playing well over 12. Of course, I take my sweet ass time and explore pretty much every nook and cranny. The unique environments make me enjoy scavenging way more than the 'open 1 million boxes' crap of Borderlands 2.
Of course, I say I'm probably near the end, but I've thought that no less than 5 times. I haven't had this much draw to play through a game in a very long time. Can't wait to see it through.
Finished it on hard. Stats say 22 hours and some, but I would say 15-20 hours would be your average playthrough. Once I noticed that dialouge skipped/stopped/changed when I moved too far from it, I stopped completely once someone started to talk. There is a LOT of missable dialouge/character progression. I also tried to explore most places, but I missed a few collectables and never even got all my upgrade gear
My strong advice is take your time playing this game. It is a story based game, and the story is everywhere. From small notes, hidden pictures and texts, little conversations. I was watching Day[9] play this on Twitch, and I cringed the way he ran everywhere. Completely missed the parts where the jokes are read (even an achivement for this) and the likes. I do not understand people who feel the need to use run everywhere like they are progressing a fetch quest in an mmo. Though that might be a way to add replayability for the survivor mode. Run everywhere and always straight for the exit, no exploration, then Survivor mode will be filled with stuff you have not seen.

Purely by accident, I managed to turn subtitles on. I never found it in options, but I think I hit square during a cutscene. I need them in video games, because there's *always* an NPC that starts talking at 1000 meters away, and even with headphones I can't make out that shit.

Was about 42 hrs from my scheduled windows I played roughly from start to platinum (Hard/Survivor/Survivor+ and Multiplayer). For those thinking of platinuming should give you a rough idea. [And I did cheese the MP a bit with the start game/drop out trick to accelerate getting through it - probably another 8-12 hrs if I hadn't]

Thing I disliked about Last of Us is that you would save and when you loaded the game, it would go back further thus losing a *ton* of what you already did. Pissed me off to no end.
Multiplayer is fun. It's a little tough because you're playing with people who are a lot higher in level than you are, thus they have more advantages.

Perfectly valid. If a game is going to stick with the check point system they shouldn't give you the illusion of being able to save anywhere.

I'm not going to lie, parts of this game creep me the fuck out. Especially:
in the hotel after the elevator falls down and you have to start that generator. Almost had a heart attack when the bloater and the runners popped out around the corner after starting it.
