It's a fantastic game, platinumed it 10 years ago on PS3. It's one of those games where you're playing a 15 hour linear story though which is hard to tell people to buy at $60-70 unless it's on sale. The remake doesn't even have the multiplayer portion anymore. Take something like Elden Ring which is 120 hours of pure gameplay plus online features for the same price. The Last of Us is a top tier story game though, 9.5/10 or whatever, but just be aware of the length.

15 hours is perfect for me. Though yeah, I will more than likely wait for it to hit a sale, or have to purchase it outside of the Steam store for something more "reasonable".

Well, they can eventually include me in those PC TLoU P1 sales, I'll definitely buy it in March.

So far the show has only increased my interest in actually playing the game, even though yes, it's just zombies, again.

They're dum dum for not dropping the remake on PC already. It would of did killer sales to go with the show.

You have someone like me that is clueless on this IP. Whether I purchased the game and then I would of ordered HBO Max to watch the show, or perhaps I would of watched the show first and then immediately purchased the game on PC. Except... it's not out yet for PC.

Yeah, I don't quite get their logic of releasing the PC version right after the first season is over before the last two episodes air... You'd think releasing it at the beginning would net them more sales.

The Last of Us Part 1 sales jumped 238% after TV show launch

Something similar happened to The Witcher.
