I don't know how many Gulchers are console gamers, but this game is mind-blowing & ground-breaking. For anyone 'on the fence' about getting it for either PS3 or 4, stop wasting time and get it. It's unlike most video games you've ever played. I'm nearly 4 hours into it. Enjoy.

    Great game! I know a bunch of people who have it and they all rave about it. My game library is filled, but this is definitely in the hopper should time permit.

    On another note:
    If you enjoy apocalyptic games, I'm presently developing a futuristic undead open-world, sandbox style apocalyptic game for the PC. It will be a 25-40 player environment where survival is the main objective.

    Its far too early, but if something like this interests you I'll post here when I have something worth looking at.

      Now that sounds way cool. Yeah, the Objective would be to reach the Gulch. (Get it?) :)

      Yes, some choice screenshots and some game play previews would be appreciated.

        When the time is right I'll post some screen shots here. The entire game will center around consequential rules, a players actions factor into his/her health and safety. All I have at this time is a structure I made, a settlement, the last refuge of mankind that is surviving the apocalypse as best they can with whatever scraps of technology they managed to salvage. If I can pull this off, it should be difficult but a lot of fun.

    This game is absolutely amazing. I've never played a game before that caused such an emotional response. Beautifully done.

      Agreed. I was casually playing AC Revelations, but this one has taken over and I've been playing this one far more consistently ~ about twice a week...1 to 2 hours. Usually, I play once a week or week and a half. I was so taken back when Joel's woman revealed the horrible news. Yeah, it was beautifully done. If Naughty Dog does a prequel or a sequel to the sequel, I hope they don't mess it up with lousy voice acting, bad or weak story-line or animation glitches (Got Ubisoft?)

    One of my favorite games. Have played it 3 times. For anyone interested, I wrote a long article discussing the freedom themes, available for free on Amazon w/ Kindle Unlimited or for $.99 otherwise (of which I get 34¢…). Here's the description and the link:

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6IA1H4

    A 4100 word essay that analyzes the 2013 PlayStation exclusive game, "The Last of Us" from Naughty Dog. Particular attention is given to evaluating the controversial ending and the opposing choices the various characters make, especially the decisions and actions of Ellie, Joel, and Marlene. WARNING: Game spoilers are included throughout the essay. Now with a new addendum critiquing comments by the game's writer.

    This essay is for anyone who understands and appreciates freedom, who fights for individual rights and morality, who knows that rational self-interest is the essence of a proper life. This essay is for those people who understand — or want to understand — the actual meaning of the philosophical/political/moral concepts of collectivism, statism, and altruism (a la Comte).

    This essay is for those agree that we are not property; that we are not to be used via force by others for their, rather than our own ends. Our lives do, in fact, belong to us. Ignoring that idea has, indeed, led to all the worse atrocities governments and dictators have committed against innocent people across all the ages.

    People and civilization have progressed throughout history precisely to the extent that they have abandoned statism, collectivism, and Comte's version of altruism. The evidence is obvious for anyone willing to see. Compare N. vs S. Korea; Hong Kong vs old China; the U.S. vs the U.S.S.R.; West Germany vs East Germany; the West vs the East; on and on.

    This essay is for anyone who actually understands that ideas do, in fact, matter, and that ignorance, obtuseness, and evasion are not signs of rationality, intelligence, or accomplishment.

    I will definitely check this game out! I play World of Warcraft on my PC with my sister who is hundreds of miles away. We team up to fight The Horde. It is a good vs evil game.
