so i just finished playing the last of us, and i really liked it.. but now i need something new to play... i'm kind of a noob to these kinds of games so i wanted something like the one i have been playing, but i heard that the game is quite unique, so i don't know if that exists. what i liked about the game was: there was a great story, there weren't to much heavy shooting ( i'm a lousy shot) i like better if i can shoot things from a distance with like a rifle or something. and i liked the stealth, but i wouldn't want to much stealth cuz i suck at that too:P so hopefully someone here can find me a game i can not suck at:) (edit) i ended up buying the first uncharted game and i really liked it.. but keep leaving other suggestions if you got anything good, and i'll put them on my list over games to try out in the fall and winter time;)

You may like Hitman Absolution. It has stealth similar to Last of Us, shooting is similar and what not too.

Dishonored has stealth and action. Not too difficult either, but had an interesting and unique world with a good story.

Dont forget Splinter Cell Blacklist . It has stealth but not the post-apocalyptic feel. Plus , I find every game to be unique in itself and hence mostly there are no substitutes for its experience! :)

Beyond: Two Souls coming up in a few weeks time. It's another PS3 AAA on the way. Also check out Heavy Rain from the same developers. The story and mystique of these games is just amazing.

Yeah, waiting for Beyond: Two Souls might be your best bet. Not saying it will be as good as The Last of Us but it should be decent game with a unique story.

I vote for Tomb Raider and Uncharteds. Tomb Raider especially for not having to shoot, you can often stealth your way through if you want. Plus I love using the bow.

I would skip Uncharted 2 and go for Uncharted 3 if I were you. I'm for the most part burnt out on shooters and I felt like UC3 had a better balance of the different elements (stealth/hand to hand/gunplay/traversal) all the while having less enemies throughout the game as well. So It would most likely be the better choice for you. Even though I'm the biggest Uncharted fan you'll meet I can admit that near the end of UC2 I felt like it was just tedious. Way too much shooting.

Just for reference my favourite games of this gen are Uncharted 3, The Last Of Us and GTAV.

If you only go for Story then I can recommend The Walking Dead. There is not much shooting and stuff like that but more like about Story and Choice that you make to change the game. Really nice game and it was the game that make me want to try out The Last of Us. Uncharted Serie is really good. Tomb Raider is nice too. Metal Gear 4 is also very nice and it should be really cheap now.

The Walking Dead video game is a different story from the show. I generally hate zombies and all sorts of media that uses them but The Walking Dead is really more about character interaction and your choices. The zombies are just a reason for the plot more than anything else.

You mentioned you don't like too much shooting so I wouldn't really recommend Tomb Raider. Granted the limited exploration might be enough to detract you from the shootouts so who knows.

MGS4 is only really recommendable if you have an interest in following a series that has an overarching storyline stemming from the PS1 and even further back to an extent to the NES. Granted it's certainly worth it if you follow up on the story (mostly 1 and 3) but jumping straight into 4 will confuse you to no end.

You've already delved into the Uncharted series so I say keep on with that, particularly 2 as it's one of the best games of this gen.

You're not gonna find too many games that can juggle various facets of gameplay well without resorting to the player shooting through hordes of enemies. It's integral to the genre you've recently found you liked (third-person shooter/action-adventure). So in that sense you are correct that The Last of Us is a bit unique in regards to balancing shooting with other things.

However, if you do decide that you're okay with the shooting or you're willing to give other games a shot I'd recommending checking out

  • Tomb Raider (as already mentioned of course)
  • Dead Space
  • Resident Evil 5
  • Max Payne 3 (by far the heaviest in regards to shooting)

And if you want a bit of an open world to go with your game go for

  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Mass Effect trilogy (all 3 games for $60, tremendous value)
  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Sleeping Dogs

i'm not really a gamer and don't know the technical terms:P so i don't know if you'll like the game.. but for me who has never played any games like this, it was awesome!! it has a really good story that gets you hooked right away.. i was having a hard time putting the game away cuz i wanted to know what would happen next.. and I don't really think it's a scary game. i mean it keeps you on you toes but it doesn't make you jump like in amnesia or something like that.. it's more thrilling, like when you walk into a room and you can hear that it's full of clickers and you only have one knife left, it's just really exiting.. it's definitely a game worth playing at least once in your life:P

i watched some the walking dead gameplay yesterday and i think i might give it a try after i finish uncharted, it actually looked pretty good.. i'll also take all of that under consideration when choosing a game;) and i'll put all of those games on my list:) also thank you for taking your time explaining to me:) i'm a noob so i really appreciate it:)

don't know if i'm the right person to ask this but i'll try:) you can collect different collectibles.. they're not always right in front of you so you have to go look for them.. so you do get to walk around freely and explore..you just don't get to choose a different path. like you might stumble over a safe, but if you haven't looked around for the combination you won't get the ammo or important papers or letters that's inside it. i really liked that about the game, the little details.. like i can't just run through each chapter, cuz then i might not get the full story, you know? also you can find lots of tools laying around that you can us to upgrade your weapons and skills... i don't know what else you want to know, i mean you can run around kill zombies, or choose not to and just sneak past them.. sorry i don't know what else to tell you, you just have to try it and see.. it's all the little things you discover through the game and the back and forth between joel and ellie that gets to you.. you really start the care about the characters and hope that it all goes well for them.. also i have yet to meet someone who didn't like this game;);)

If you like a great story and stealth based games you can't go far wrong with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It's an First person RPG but it blew me away when I played it and I really hate first person games.

You can play through the entire game using stealth and a sniper rifle/ Tranqualizer gun. It's an absolutely fantastic game.

It's my GOTG so far just ahead of TLOU.

You won't regret it.

I just started TLoU yesterday (a little late to the party) and probably got about a quarter through. Honestly, the game reminds me of Half Life 2, and is possibly my favorite game since HL2. Of course the game looks good, but the story, the gameplay, the characters with so much personality. God I love this game, but yeah, you need to play HL2 for sure.

if you have a good game then please recommend them.. the only reason i wanted a game like TLOU is cuz i know i like that type of game.. i'll try different types of games if i think they look good.. i'm kind of new to these types of games cuz i usually play games like crash bandicoot and spyro.. i'll definitely check those out:) thanks:)
