History YMMV / TheLastOfUs

* CharacterDevelopement: For a person you never meet no less. Ish goes from a CarzySurvivalist to TheAloner to a protective family man over the course of his notes.

* GameBreakingBug: As of release day, there is a problem with the auto-save not working correctly that can erase hours worth of played time.

* HilariousInHindsight: Several people noted Ellie's resemblance to EllenPage, before NaughtyDog changed her character model to remove this. And then at E3 2012, Sony unveiled [[VideoGame/{{Farenheit}} Quantic]] [[VideoGame/HeavyRain Dream]]'s new title, ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls''... Starring Ellen Page. Cue EpilepticTrees springing up that Ellie's character model changing was due to this.

* EightPointEight: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b1llbyJ3NU GameSpot's review]] was almost immediately pounded with dislikes for daring to give the game an [[SarcasmMode abominably low score]] of 8/10. [[FanDumb Not only was it a mostly positive review whose only major complaint was the occasional]] [[ArtificialStupidity immersion-breaking AI glitch]] and some GameplayAndStorySegregation, but [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch the review embargo lifted a full week before the release date]].

* HellIsThatNoise: The most recent gameplay trailer revealed some of the infected enemies the player will be facing. One of them being "Clickers," which are completely blind, and navigate by echolocation using various clicks and guttural sounds. It's absolutely ''terrifying.''

* ToughActToFollow: Naughty Dog's first game after the ''Uncharted'' trilogy. Ultimately averted, as ''The Last of Us'' is being called Naughty Dog's best game to date.

[[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch Keep in mind that the review embargo lifted a full week before the release date]].

* {{Jerkass}}: While survival is clearly more important then morals in a world this bad, you can't help but think Joel chooses to kill other people a little ''too'' easy.
** Not to mention shooting down a wounded man begging for mercy in the trailer. That said, the man was strangling Joel a few seconds before.

* NightmareFuel: The 1st trailer. Picture a fungus literally blooming out of the entire top half of your face after having grown into your brain to take control of it and thus use you as its own personal vessel.
** According to the E3 footage, the gameplay looks like it's no slouch in this department. Death occurs realistically, and characters will act like they're in pain before they die. And by the end of the footage, [[spoiler:without breaking into a cutscene, the game prompts you, as Joel, to aim a shotgun at an enemy's head as he begs for his life. When he dies, there's a red spot where his head was, and the last moment of gameplay is the gunshot that you have just fired.]] This is {{Naughty Dog}}'s darkest game yet.
