It's hard compare the two. They both rely on narrative a lot but they both go for different things. Infinite is a bit more "Out there" and ambitious but TLoU is a very well told grounded story.
I can't really pick one as they both do something the other doesn't and both hit different spots
Bioshock Infinite feels boring in some way, i just cant keep play it. Gameplay feels boring, story don't make me wanna play more, i don't care about the characters in the game and the plasmids is not fun. Strange to me cuz i loved the first game :/
The Last of us" was so good i could not put down controller until i had completed the game, i even got the save glitch that forced me to restart 5hours gameplay. But that didn't stop me i completed it in one game session, so yeah to me TLOU story had better to ME.
Infinite is a little too convoluted for it's own good, and while I still think that both are really good, I'd say TLoU is better, thanks mainly to the characters and the atmosphere.
I think I prefer TLOU story more. The story is simple and yet it introduces a lot of complex mature themes. Bioshock Infinite has an amazing imaginative world, but the story I can say merely "good". I'm not a fan of stories which has a lot of plot twist and I personally would've prefer if Bioshock Infinite stuck with a more simple story. In a way, Bioshock Infinite's story left me kind of left me disappointed.
I still have to give both games props for pushing the boundaries of story telling in a video game.Â
[QUOTE="wasted_wiisdom"]I haven't played the last of us but BI is definitely not betterKaze_no_Mirai
How can you tell then...? TLOU story already looks better than the stupid milkage of quantum mechanics+philosophy+twists and plot holes that BI has as an excuse for a story line. Ooohh look he's a space traveler looking to use his trick to find his treat, and at the end he finds out his trick WAS his treat. gasps shocking ending.

^^This^^ The only reason I would say I like Infinite's story better is because I prefer heavily sci-fi-themed fiction more than post-apocalyptic survivor stories.
Both had very strong narratives, but I'm generally more fond of stories that manage to be affecting in an understated way, which The Last of Us mostly succeeded at. Infinite, on the other hand, is - in usual Ken Levine fashion - very on the nose. Still, I liked them both a lot.

Clive Barker's Undying story is better than both. And the way Undying's story was presented and was not forced down your throat made it more intruiging.

Bioshock Infinite was a fun ride, but then I thought on the ending and realized Comstock's abortion wiped out everything I did. I was pumped flying through the game thinking with portals and listening to Cindi Lauper (whose CD I bought after beating the game) covers. The lighthouses just had me wide eyed with wonder going "yesyesyesyes" but 10 minutes later I found myself staring at the credits, hair disheveled, pants around my ankles wondering what just happened. Last of Us had the most cathartic ending I've ever played. I've never been so emotionally manipulated by a video game. It felt real and it felt right. I'm pretty sure I felt like how that chick from Misery felt right before James Caan choked her out.

it look much better than the console version ...i know
but you seem not understand that i'm not talking just about gfx it self
i'm talking about the animation and artstyle and caracters models i know Bioshock have much better gfx than TLOU on pc from technical standpoint
but the artsyle, animation,models and the attention to detail in the last of us make it a better looking game for me at least

Irrelevant to my post. 2. Incoherent sentence. 3. "you think GTAV is the best game ever and will be better than the last of us" Please direct me to the post which specifically stated this. You're an idiot.
Have yet to play TLOU but I must say the twist in the end of BioShock Infinite was kinda disappointing. After all the people saying how mindblowing it was, i couldnt help but feel those gamers get impressed easily... BioShock 1 twist ("would you kindly") was miles better. For me story/characters/world/environment BioShock 1 wins, gameplay wise BioShock Infinite wins
*faceplam* That post was talking about GTA in general. Not GTA V. *faceplam* really ?! ....ok how do you know they are on another different level when you still didn't play TLOU ?!

I previously did state that, that was a surmise. Anyway, I prefer open world games that let you roam free over linear scripted corridor shooters.
