MY VIEWS....I believe It will Give you All the picture behind BOtH THE TiTles >>>>
1) There is no risk of failure in The Last Of Us.There is only the risk of having the play the same section yet again. In a survival game, that’s anathema. A survival game without meaningful death isn’t a survival game. It’s just a game.
2) If you played THE WALKING DEAD, you should SKIP The Last OF US. If not, go play it instead of this.THE WALKING DEAD has actual, meaningful choices unlike this game. You pretty much do what the game tells you to, and that works for something like Uncharted but not this game. THE WALKING DEAD set the bar for the Zombie theme and this game is not even coming close to it.
The game play itself is even worse. Horrible gun play, terrible and unreliable stealth mechanics, bad immersions because your companions can stand face to face with every enemy because they only can see your character.
3) I completed, The Last Of Us in one sitting, took me 12 hours . But that was not with THE WALKING DEAD because one has to think before execution....choices matters sooner or later. Like I said, I completed the game after 12 hours and... it hanged after the credits screen. I could go to start menu but couldn't load, save or quit the game, so I had to shut down the game through PS menu. Started it up again to see what bonuses I unlocked by completing the game and... my save was gone. So yeah, I'm quite pissed off right now, 12 hours for nothing. Nice quality assurance testing there.
Now, onto the game itself. The story is nowhere near as driving and immersing as the one in " THE WALKING DEAD", which I consider the best adventure game I ever played. There are a few good moments, but most of the time the game play is limited to running around buildings collecting items and shooting bandits. The cut scenes are awesome, the voices and animations are really good, but there's not that many of them. I wish the story was narrated better and didn't just skip through parts. The story is 100% linear, as far as I know, there are no choices in game you can make to affect the story, so there is no re-playability value what-so-ever. In the end I never got attached to any of the characters like I did in "The Walking Dead".
4) Developers in The Last Of Us advertised the game with the AI that is clever and it will try to outsmart you. Ha, what a joke. The AI completely ignores your companions, they can run in front of a bandit and the guy couldn't care less. Enemies actually try to take alternative routes to get you and flank you, but most of the time they just barge into the room and stand there thinking "now what?". Your companions are pretty much invisible when sneaking, so you don't really have to care about them unless they are grabbed by an enemy. This made me really detach from my character and I didn't really care for my companions much.
There are also some design problems I do not really understand like weapon mechanics. Shivs are used to kill the clickers, but you lose them every time you use them, like ammo. Since when are knives one use only? Same with some of the melee weapons, steel pipes go bad after 7 hits. Some weapons are badly unbalanced, like the shotgun. In later stages of the game, where soldiers have bulletproof vests and helmets it can take up to 4 shotgun body shots to kill one soldier from about 4-5 meters away. To make it more ridiculous max ammo for the shotgun is like 16 rounds.
5) The Last Of Us game is not bad, by a long shot. The combat and movement are sluggish and frustrating at times. The story is predictable and while it looks pretty, there are definitely better looking games out for PS-3 and PS-4, at the moment. The crafting and upgrade systems are shallow and disappointing, as is the looting, but then, one should be mindful that this is a shooter, not an RPG. Some areas have multiple, clever ways of dispatching enemies, but all too often the player is simply fighting off wave after wave of enemies, and it get boring quickly. There is very little ammo, which is fine for a survival/adventure game, but this game is predominantly a shooter, and then it gets very frustrating.
6) The Last Of Us is overrated, I don't know what game all you are playing but this game is not the best as so many people seem to be saying. All you do in this game is sneak and strangle monsters. It has Graphics But does a game only needs a realistic Type ? I see people saying that this the best they have seen, if you think that then WOW ! you are blind. Go rent it before you buy it. Who knows maybe you will buy into the hype and get easily manipulated like the Masses.

Now, THE WALKING DEAD....
1) THE WALKING DEAD deals in a spectrum of emotion that few other games dare to take on, and it does so with aplomb. It's utterly triumphant, crafting a narrative that proves the power of the medium by embracing what makes it unique, leading to one of the most memorable gameplay experiences ever created. The art is wonderfully realised, both making the world a dangerous but curious place, and giving a great deal of life to the characters. Just look at Clementine's expressiveness even without words, you can know what she wants to say.
2) THE WALKING DEAD is an experience you shouldn't miss. I recommend everyone play this, even if you normally don't care about video games. It's an emotional experience unlike anything else. It's a journey with characters that feels very real. It has the usual staples of a great game. Fun gameplay, Amazing story unlike anything else, very memorable characters that all feel real, a soundtrack that will stick... but the most amazing power of this game is it's ability to make you feel. Anger, sadness, fear, joy, guilt and regret, despair... and hope. It has one of the best morality systems in any game ever, there is no red or blue choice, there's no right or wrong choice, it's all about how you survive and what you let the world turn you into.
3) A great story that will make many grown-ups cry. Don't Believe me, Watch Below !!! But for those who have already played [Spoiler !! Alert] Please don't watch this....if you Haven't played yet !! This is for those who don't believe my words.[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps_CeuQCmhg ]
4) As for drawbacks ? In this game...well I didn't find one !! But the only thing I was bothered was during the narration choices....due to the time limit !! But In real life a person won't wait for you and your opinion for an hour or two !
[ ENOUGH OF THE WALKING DEAD ]
LeT'S End With the Verdict.....
BOTH ARE SIMILAR FATHER-DAUGHTER TYPE RELATIONSHIP....BUT THE WALKING DEAD APPEARS TO BE HAVING MORE ADVANTAGE OVER The Last Of Us !! LEE and CLEMENTINE have more emotional attachment than Joel and Ellie [ my reason would be the age factor between CLEM and Ellie ]. CLEM was more helpless and than Ellie !!
I UNDERSTAND why most people choose The Last Of Us....If my deductions are CORRECT ! then Its because of the the reason that the youth level in the world is maximum compared to other category !! So, now what I meant is....Look At Both The Characters CLEM & Ellie you can see the age...one is 8 years old [A Child] & the Other is 14 years old [A Teenager] !!
So, its obvious why most people prefer Ellie...over CLEM !! I guess you got my hint !! But its sad....that most people choose games over their dirty minds !!! Sorry guys ! but I don't buy my picks over such factors...
NOW WHY ? I DIDN'T LIKE THE DEVELOPERS JUDGEMENT OVER The Last Of Us !!
\\ The 'Naughty Dog' did't bother releasing the game on PC-platform, A platform where infinite majority awaits !! they might think of release....but !! PC-platform is such that even ROCK-STAR bother to think twice to release or not ?! Not to mention the GTA 5..that is ! All Because they believe PC is weak for their game.....give me a break !! Guys !
\\ OK, I understand that they don't have regrets on not releasing with it ?! but for money....Yes ! guys I will tell you...Why they don't bother releasing on PC ? Naughty Dog being NAUGHTY ! actually put aside the PC-platform because they were getting filled up from Sony with hard cash !! Sony is continuously giving uncountable amount to Naughty to release most of their games only to PS-platforms.......WHY ?! SO, THAT MOST OF US RUSH TO BUY A PS-CONSOLE....Finally, benefiting their sale !! HERE is the Link FOR my info-proof >> { https://www.quora.com/Why-is-there-no-PC-version-of-The-Last-of-Us }
// As most of you know 'THE WALKING DEAD IS ON PS , PC...I believe its for every-platform and Even They bother to release it on android-platform !! Who bothers releasing such games on android platform !! I have also played its android version after the PS version....and I can easily say The best game I believe I have played on android...no words ! seriously !! After playing 100's of android games I finally got one that...tht i jst cn't delete :)
HOPE IT CLEARS...MOST OF YOUR DOUBTS !! AFTER-ALL ITS YOUR money YOUR investment...

IF you dare to waste that much than go ahead !! but I would rather suggest...BUY A 'YAMAHA FG 700s' in half/ what you will spent with the game and its setup !!! At least... that's what you will be left with, after your precious 12 hrs.
