These two games have started a war between what is the better game. Which one is better? Well to begin with, it’s kind of hard to compare these two. Yes they are both third person shooters but beyond that there is not a lot of similarities. The Last of Us is a relatively linear game that focuses more on the story while Grand Theft Auto V does have a good story along with a tanker full of content.
The Last of Us focuses the majority of its time on creating the world that it is set in. The World is very fascinating to see and the game keeps you immersed in this at all times. This helps with adding a good amount of tension to the game play. You always feel that you have to be very cautious with every new place you come to as you scavenge for supplies to craft nail bombs, shivs, molotovs and other items. The limit on the ammunition also adds to the tension making you feel that you need to make every bullet count. The two characters that are presented in The Last of Us, Joel and Ellie do feel like real people. Throughout the game you see these two characters change and it is always satisfying to see ultimately what will happen to them.
Grand Theft Auto V does have a good cast of characters to. This one gives us three protagonists to play with. There is Michael, Trevor and Franklin all of them do have their own lives and problems to overcome. GTAV does have a good story to it and does have a lot of content and side activities to do. The main campaign makes the game incredible, but it goes even further with addition of Grand Theft Auto Online.
Many gamers feel that Grand Theft Auto V is better because you get so much more out of the package. While The Last of Us does not have as much content it doesn’t really need it. Naughty Dog has a knack for making games that are very satisfying without having tons and tons of content. The Last of Us is no exception. The focus is geared toward just giving a great cast of characters add some excellent game play and give us one grand adventure of a story. The Last of Us hits everything here. Because of this, it is hard to really compare these two games.
In the end it really depends on someone’s interpretation of what makes a great game. Grand Theft Auto V obviously would win in terms of content and lasting value. The Last of Us though would win from leaving a much bigger impact on the player. The Last of Us seems to be something more than just a game; it seems more like a well-put together movie. The emotion that someone feels after finishing The Last of Us is incredible. In fact that might be the only thing that a lot of people don’t like in it, when The Last of Us ends. The ending isn’t really bad it’s just that you don’t want it to end. If you’ve ever had a favorite series end then you will feel the same way when you complete The Last of us. The Last of Us could be regarded as better because it leaves a much more emotional impact on the player. How many other games can leave that same impact? Grand Theft Auto V doesn’t seem to leave the same kind impressions. Grand Theft Auto V is an incredible game. But The Last of Us seems to offer a lot of other things that haven’t really been seen in a game before. These key elements help to say that The Last of Us is the superior game.
