My copy of The Last Of Us should be with me today or tomorrow. I'm anticipating it...

It's a superb game. Also announced recently that sony have now sold 18.5 million PS4s worldwide. That's to actual consumers as well, not retailers. Incredible figures.

I got AC 4: Black Flag after being very sceptical about it after the disappointment of AC 3 (it was good, but not as good as it could have been), and I also thought the fact that they were bringing the games out so frequently was detrimental to the games. However, Black Flag may just be the best AC game so far, and I've played all the previous games. I've not played Unity yet, but I've watched a friend play it and I think it's probably the best console game I've ever seen graphically. You're right though it's very buggy, but that's par for the course at this point for AC games.

I couldn't get along with Black Flag. The sailing just annoyed me and the character grated.

Agree fully about the 6 month gap between AC games and the rumours of the next one this year (London, Victorian era) doesn't help with sales, I guess.

AC:U is still buggy, but not enough to make me hurl the controller. Having said that, At least Ubisoft are giving the Dead Kings DLC pack free next week, which is a decent move.

If you do buy it (and its pretty cheap now after the much publicised crashes), I highly recommend the co-op missions.

I thought the sailing was the best bit about Black Flag. They should make a game that's just that, proper cargo variety with the ability to trade, different ships and a wider variety of upgrades. "Elite: Dangerous, at sea"

Finished The Last of Us earlier today.. Not sure I can pick up another game for a while now, anything else would seem rubbish by comparison

I partly agree, I spent hours just plundering ships. Another thing that annoys me with AC games is they come up with good conceps but sometimes they just seem half arsed. For example, the 'Kenway's fleet' side game is a great idea however, the ship battle mechanic is a good idea but the way it plays makes it seem pointless, plus I don't recall there being a tutorial on it and as a result it took me until I was almost done with the game to work out how it works!

Started playing Planetside 2 a few months ago, anyone else play or have played this game?
It's about to come to PS4 with a beta in a matter of weeks, but I'm still just a PC gamer.

Anyone else feel that the last of us is slightly overated? Im playing on Ps4 and ive almost finished the game. Dont get me wrong, it bubbles away nicely and is a "good" game but It gets a bet tedious of walk here, search this room, pick up supplies, kill zombies/bandits, rinse repeat. I think the zero punctuation review was bang on.

It's all just personal opinion at the end of the day, but I thought the game was pretty much perfect.
The combat and scavenging never grew tiresome to me, and the story had enough twists, turns and surprises to keep me on my feet. It also had some great changes to the overall pacing of the game and changes of scenery.
Graphically it is the best looking game on the PS3, the acting is superb, and the ending was also pretty awesome. I can't fault it.

Graphically, on the PS4 it's amazing. I have never seen a game where you can actually see emotion in the characters faces, especially Ellie but personally I don't agree with your assessment of the changes of scenery. I feel it's very much all pretty much the same. Maybe I expected. I'm up to the university bit and it's still exactly the same as it wad earlier in the game. Tell you what though, without giving anything away, the emotion I felt at the start of the game, you know, the first cut scenes I've not felt since final fantasy 7 so that in itself I guess is commendable. Better than GTA5? Not even close but a good game all the same
