The Last of Us ships 3.4 million in three weeks
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us has reached 3.4 million in global sales after only three weeks on the market, according to Sony estimates.
The critical buzz and anticipation seem to have done favors for The Last of Us, as Sony has announced that global sales are downright infectious. It reached 3.4 million after only three weeks on the market, according to estimates as of July 3, making it the fastest selling PlayStation 3 game of this year and exceeding Sony's sales expectations.
The third-person action-adventure has reviewed well, earning praise from our own Andrew Yoon and currently sitting at a score of 95 on Metacritic.
"These sales figures are a testament to the blockbuster quality of The Last of Us," Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida said in the announcement. "The teams at Naughty Dog are true visionaries and their storytelling capabilities are second to none, this title is an undisputed demonstration of that. SCE continues to be committed to delivering unique gameplay experiences that redefine the interactive entertainment industry and The Last of Us is a perfect example."

RE4 retained all the elements necessary for survival horror. It just added action. You still had to fight enemies intelligently by using resources sparingly, and the environmental set pieces added a great deal to battles. Most importantly, it kept the atmosphere tense and creepy as hell. The castle remains one of my favorite areas in any RE game.

I believe it. I finished the game last weekend. I'm an emotional guy, but I don't think I've ever been more invested in a game. The game is perfection. It had me in tears at one point, cheering at another, and shouting in anger at yet another!
I started my new game plus playthrough, and the prologue had me in tears yet again. I didn't think it would be as bad the second time, but it's almost worse because now I understand Joel so much more. Knowing why he does what he does, and knowing what's to come is almost too much.
I love this game. I'd give it 20 out of 10! -

That's too bad. I've been an Xbox user for a decade, but I budgeted for a PS3 specifically for this game. And it's been worth it and then some!
But that's a subjective judgment. I loved the game - you may not. I loved it, not only for innovative gameplay, but more so for the amazing story, superb voice acting, and facial mocap. it was ridiculous.
Decided to pick up the Uncharted trilogy, also by Naughty Dog, and it's a lot of fun, too. Picked up Heavy Rain and Journey, as well.
And funny thing is, I don't miss my Xbox at all.
Then again, if you're predominantly a PC gamer, I could understand where you're coming from. Me, I've always embraced PC among with consoles.

The Last of Us is a nice looking game, but was overall a disappointment. I would constantly find myself loading the game but not playing. The scenery is quite impressive, but the gameplay just isn't there. I've had enough of moving around ladders and I don't think I'm even very far into the game.
The game gets loaded, but something more "fun" is decided upon once we start clumsily moving around the game world.-

Seriously.. this is one of the most pointless complaints anyone can make about this game.. that one initial load is the only idle waiting you'll ever do while playing the game - there are no noticeable loading points anywhere else. Its a far FAR cry from what I remember of games like Heavenly Sword at launch, which had insane load times.

Good to know, Naughty Dog makes quality games and I want them to continue to do well. Just started Last of Us last night, tough to give an opinion yet as I'm only about 1 - 1.5 hours in and I feel like they're still introducing me to basic mechanics. As usual the cut scenes/art direction are top notch, though.

I went out and got a PS3 just for this game. I just beat it last night and loved every min of it. Im actually sad im done it cause it was so amazing. Its like no other game out there and the ending was by far the most real and anti hollywood ending ever. It deserves all the praise. I just started the Uncharted series and am having a blast.
