Naughty Dog looks set to break our hearts on Valentine’s Day. The Last of Us was a stellar experience on the PlayStation 3, earning a 9.8/10 score right here on Lazygamer, not to mention winning our end-of-year awards for Best PlayStation 3 Game and Best New IP. It was lauded for its flawless presentation and challenging gameplay, but most importantly for its memorable characters and emotional storyline.
Left Behind — its only single-player DLC forthcoming — looks to follow the same formula that made the core game so successful. The launch trailer hints at the powerful relationship between best friends Ellie and Riley, and suggests that it will play a major part in the DLC. From the post on the PlayStation Blog:
We wanted to dig deeper into the events that transformed Ellie into the fighter players were introduced to on her fateful meeting with Joel. What does it mean for two teenagers to survive in a world that offers little hope? How far will you go to save yourself? How far will you go to save the ones you love?
From the trailer, it’s clear that Naughty Dog is going to spend a lot of time developing the friendship between these two protagonists – not just in dealing with the dangers of the world around them, but in the kind of incomparable affection only found in childhood best friends. Everyone planning on diving in at launch should be prepared for another emotional journey. Keep the tissues handy.
The Last of Us: Left Behind DLC is releasing at 6 AM GMT on the PlayStation Store for £11.99/€14.99.

I would gladly pay R140 for two hours of good entertainment. People are more than happy to pay R140 to go and watch a movie of the same length (even more if you include popcorn), but when it comes to games people are reluctant to fork out R140 for two hours (even more if you don’t rush through the game).

I don’t mind paying the money, it is the length that i have an issue with. (Don’t you dare say it Admiral)
Something like the Borderlands 2 DLC’s, give me a hell of a lot of extra playing time, whilst the Bioshock Infinity ones, do not.
However, If the DLC is worth it (story wise) and not just a cash grab, then i concede that it may be worth a look at, on a sale, later on

Couple of valid points, I agree. I am also not going to buy it later today. Rather saving this money for next month’s releases.

With that header image, I hope Naughty Dog is at least giving away a few tons of free happy pills to go with their games. That artwork reminds me of a painting that hung in my best friend’s house at one time of this crying boy. Can you see the similarity in the header and the painting below? (refresh browser for image) Ye Gods, I feel so depressed right now I am going to cry a bit…

How long is the playtime for this?

February 14, 2014 at 08:40
Seems it is real short, about 2 hours. Don’t know on what difficulty. The being said, a lot of people rushed through TLOU and it took them about 10 – 12 hours. I played for about 21 hours.
