    Most overrated game of all time?
    Unless you're a COD gamer or a female who has never experienced good games before, this is just as average as it gets. After finishing it again now I was left with the same thoughts as when I first played it like 10 years ago, is there a single arc I enjoyed in it? Most of it is just a hassle, which it is designed to be, but aside from nice graphics and    Most overrated game of all time?

After finishing it again now I was left with the same thoughts as when I first played it like 10 years ago, is there a single arc I enjoyed in it? Most of it is just a hassle, which it is designed to be, but aside from nice graphics and somewhat good cutscenes it's just all negative.

    The combat is decent, the graphics are nice though it runs pretty bad, barely 100 fps on mostly high 4070ti, 13600k.
    The story is above average but it's very obvious as well as negative, too negative, uneccessarily so.
    If you compare this is Days Gone I don't know anyone in their right mind who would pick this over the other.
    Same setting, zombies, drama, open world in DG, better graphics in DG, endlessly more quest and content in DG, far more twisting story in DG and much more advanced combat.

    This game is probably worth to play, but to say its anything more than that says more of you as a so-called gamer

    Lets try to be objective at least, this is not a 0/10 because of glitches and whatnot (I didn't have any), it's not a 10/10, it's slightly better than average I think most would agree so giving it a 6.5/10

    Btw, the HBO series is trash.

    The price should be 20 usd.    … Expand

    poor optimization for pc , you can not get smooth 60 fps all the time in 1080p with RTX 3070 , the game VRAM usage is insane if you use higher streaming quality , the game updates are almost trash and didn't fix issues as much as their should

    game itself is very good, game-play , gun-play and story were great I could rate 8-9 if the game didn't have optimization issues

    Story: 10/10
    Optimization on PC: 2/10. You need 6GB of VRAM for Low quality so it's pretty much unplayable.
    It's such a shame because a lot of people waited 10 years for this game to come to PC and they got a game in a very poor state for playing.

    A mi no me dio mucho fallo, pero en steam deck, funciona 25-30 fps con craseos, y espere por favor, cuando ellos confirmaron que funcionaria perfectamente, ademas en pc tienes que descargar un dll para que la compresion se haga mas rapido y en ocasiones aunque pocas sale otra vez el aviso de espere por favor, por lo demas esta perfecto

    talking about survival story . it is very important to craft weaponry by yourself , but this game is just like fool me around like treating child . of course you can reload faster 50% by cleaning barrel with rag .
    the game is normally playable but not good enough . I can feel the battle phrase like playing Turn-Base game .
    it is satisfied to see Ellie has her girlfriend .

    I guess that makes a 5/10? Or would I be dividing by zero?

    Game work very good stable 60FPS in 1080p
    DLSS Off, High, Textures Medium.

    I had to underclock and undervolt the graphics card to 1860MHz / 950mv because the game kept crashing. Now work very good.
    GPU takes a maximum of 200W from sources and does not go above 60°C.

    Played with the 1.1.0.0. and 3070. Somewhat playable at not so high settings. The real pro of this game is it's story. Combat is average and i really hate the limited supply of ammo while enemies have infinite ammo. They also rarely drops ammo when killed.

    The "where is the ladder" or "take me to the other side" gets old very quick but since is not a long game i guess is not that bad. There are no puzzles and lacks enemy variety. instead of doing all those weapon upgrades customization they should have put more effort into that especially since this is a remake and they could have made the game a far lot better instead of just a graphics upgrade.    … Expand

    I liked the story, the beautiful world with attention to detail, the designers really put effort into it. Enhanced by pleasant music and nice ambient sounds.

    Over time, it started to bother me to search through empty rooms just to find 2 bullets. I actually grew fond of Joel, but Ellie was too foul-mouthed for my taste. (If 14-year-olds behave like that in the USA, then God help them.)

    I'm not sure if I missed some bestiary, but I would have liked more explanation about the mutants. Even considering the state of the world, I missed at least one positive character.

    The technical state was dreadful. First, it took over an hour to compile shaders. It probably didn't handle RAM well because after a while, the game started lagging, and I had to restart it. Also, it's quite audacious to charge a full price for a 10-year-old game in such a condition.    … Expand

    Yes, The Last of Us Part I for the PC has somewhat improved a little under two months in. Graphical stutters, framedrops, and other visual artifacts currently exist. If you’re able to look past those graphical shortcomings, The Last of Us Part I is a truly exceptional game. Consider waiting just a bit more before jumping into one of the best series from Sony and Naughty Dog to date.

    The remake of one of the most iconic games of all time finally got its PC version. Unfortunately, it is plagued with bugs and glitches, and the optimization is extremely poor. If you are not in a rush, wait for a more substantial update that will hopefully solve most of these problems. In the meantime, give it a try on the PlayStation 5 if you have the chance.

    It’s nice to be able to experience Joel and Ellie’s story on the PC. But it’s not the best way to go about things and a game as brilliant as this deserved better from its port. The crown jewel of three generations of PlayStation should’ve arrived in a much better state.
