As a console ventures deeper into its lifecycle, more high quality titles are to be expected. It goes without saying that the PS3 has accumulated a solid number of respectable exclusives, namely from the likes of Naughty Dog, who are responsible for the Uncharted series. Given the massive success of the Uncharted games, it almost came as a guarantee that their new, upcoming IP would turn out to be a huge success as well. Yet, this time around, Naughty Dog took a completely different approach with The Last of Us. Instead of an over-the-top, all-out fun action/adventure game comparable to Uncharted, The Last of Us is an incredibly gritty, emotional, and narrative-driven survival/action game. The Last of Us comfortably lives up to Naughty Dog’s …show more content…
Of course, as the game progresses, better weaponry is acquired, thus expanding Joel’s arsenal. However, every weapon accumulated can’t just be summoned with the press of a button. There are limited weapon slots, one for a small weapon and another for a large weapon. In order to access other small or large weapons, they must be swapped while pulling out Joel’s backpack in the “hotkey” positions, all in real time. Situations must be planned accordingly, as it’s highly nerve-racking having to sit there and exchange weapons while surrounded by enemies. Focusing back to scavenging, ammo isn’t the only essential supply. Various, common-day items may be scrounged to craft useful items such as health packs, molotovs, crudely-constructed bombs, and even to modify melee weapons such as crowbars to inflict one-hit kills on foes in close combat. Weapon parts are scattered about to make weapons more easy to use, or even to expand the amount of weapons Joel has quick access to. Supplements enhance Joel’s abilities, like extending his overall health, which can only be replenished with snacks and health packs. Lastly, the HUD is quite limited, allowing for an exceptionally immersive and intense experience. All of these gameplay touches make for a fairly lifelike and surprisingly enriching adventure, with just one minor oddity, and that being listening mode. Listening mode allows you to temporary “hear” …show more content…
The visuals are stunning and drive the PS3 to its limits. Cut-scenes are especially breathtaking, transitioning well from gameplay moments, aren’t overdone, and highly enhance the cinematic aspects of the game. Performance as a whole is steady, though there are some frame rate dips, although gameplay is practically never interrupted by performance issues. Perhaps one of the more notable elements of the game is the fact that there are essentially no loading screens. Also, the few instances there are of loading times are extremely brief, minus the lengthy loading screen upon starting up the game. This truly keeps the game flowing from start to finish. Lastly, voice acting is superb, and this isn’t just limited to human characters, but the sounds of the infected are terrifyingly well done too. As a whole, the audio excels in complementing the rest of the game and fitting the current

Indeed, what I disliked about the film was the acting; the way the characters acted wasn’t really realistic. For example, when John Carlyle was shot by accident on the heart, all he did was sitting there and opened his mouth but yet, he was still alive. I believe he needed more realism perhaps even blood. Another example would be when Kruger and Max are fighting until death in Elysium and Max attaches a grenade on him then Kruger places a hook on Max’s tube attached to him; Max some way breaks the tube attached to him. Finally, when Spider gets stabbed on the hand by Kruger and someway by the end of the movie it didn’t even show that it hurt him at all.
RPGs or role playing games are games in which the player takes on the roles of the characters and controls their actions in order to further character development. RPGs generally have a strong story and character back story that fully immerses the player in the fictional world. Final Fantasy 13 or FF13 for short is the 13th installment in the Final Fantasy franchise and it that falls under this genre of gaming. A game of this genre and style should strive to have well developed visuals, a complete story, full character backstories that are interesting, a non-linear gameplay, and a solid functioning combat system. These things among others are the backbone of games in general and meeting them in a way that creates an in-depth and fun experience is required. All these elements are existent in FF13 but some of them are not fine-tuned or developed enough in order to create an enjoyable experience. Based on those criteria Final Fantasy 13 falls short in compared to its previous installments and in the genre in general.
10.) The setting of this story affects the story a lot. All the story is, is the kids trying to escape the glade. Glade is a meadow the size of several football fields surrounded by gigantic walls that fall in the middle of a vast maze formed by walls of ivy. The weather is always perfect, the food is delicious, and the boys spend their time like colonial re-enactment people: farming and raising livestock. Other than the atmosphere being so claustrophobic and the huge monsters, life isn’t too bad. Even though life is okay, who wants to live in a place with no real family. It is so critical that the story takes place in the glade so they will have to escape the place. They have to escape the place by solving the maze, and if it wasn’t

The PS3 is my favorite gaming system that I can play all day long if I could especially in my spare time. Although it’s the “holy grail” others might challenge its practicality and use in the world.

It helped me understand the state of the Japanese government, and the reasons and purpose behind the BR Law. Compared to The Hunger Games, the killing scene were more gruesome in this movie, which made this movie more difficult to watch. Aside from this point, I enjoyed this more due to the constant suspense, especially towards the end of the movie. It was shocking when Kawada formed an alliance with Shuya and Noriko throughout the movie, but he betrayed them by shooting the friends since they were the last people remaining in the game. Shockingly, all of the them survived the game, killed Kitano, and traveled back to their hometown by a boat. It was unfortunate to see Kawada die from a gunshot wound by Kiriyama, but it was comforting to see that friendship dominated over violence and
