The Last of Us

[Edge7]

Winter... oh man, that winter section was boss. Definitely the highlight of the game.
(SPOILER)From having to hunt the deer while wondering just what state Joel is in, to the very last segment where you have to kill David (who I was very shocked to hear was voiced by Nolan North), I was completely absorbed.

The Ending:
(SPOILER)I guess my biggest gripe with the ending though is that I would've either preferred an ending where Joel and Ellie are together and happy (the less likely ending) or one dies and the other has to cope. Or they both died. Keeping them together, but leaving their relationship on a shaky note might've worked if the ending hadn't felt so rushed

10/10 material? Probably not, imo. There's too many glitches, and the AI was hyped WAAY too much to live up to my expectations. But the the animations, the environments, the crafting system and navigating around the infected were all good enough for me to place this game with the best of them.

Unrelated note, but has the spoiler tool in the editor been removed? I don't see it anywhere, so I put the tags in manually.

I love what I have seen of the game, and the multiplayer is the most engrossing I have played in recent time. I just wish I could have a copy of my own

I didn't realize this was even a zombie related game.

I was concerned about this whole 'no moral line left to cross' nonsense. I guess that's redemption.

Or loss of.

Thought this would be a cool article to read regarding the science behind the Cordyceps that inspired our friends in The Last of Us.

I finally finished it just a few minutes ago, and I must say...wow. It actually lived up to all the hype. It's easily one of the best video games I've ever played.

I really feel mixed on the ending. (SPOILER)It's bittersweet for me really. I mean, by the time the game was over I cared about Ellie and Joel so much that I was really dreading either of them dying. I was glad they both survived, but Joel's decisions in the end seemed incredibly selfish and he went from protector to flat out selfish almost. I mean, it's like what Ellie would have wanted became miniscule next to the fact that she had became his surrogate daughter, which she also had little to no choice of. On top of it, he kills a woman she considered a friend and flat out lies to her about the circumstance surrounding it in the end. And when she ask him to swear it true, he does. And you know what? She trusts him, and believes in him so much, that that's good enough for her. Yet at the same time, she has that lingering bit of question and disbelief in the back of her mind about it.

It really is a fantastic ending to a fantastic game that I didn't see coming at all. I can't remember the last time, if ever, a video game's conclusion provoked me with so much thought. Bravo.

u ppl make me very curious about the ending..
i just entered ´Winter´

[Ouch!]

(SPOILER)For all of you who thought that there was a chance Joel was telling the truth (seriously, were you even paying attention?), Naughty Dog has confirmed in interviews discussing the ending that Joel was lying. It was meant to be obvious that he was lying. Originally, the ending had been written that Ellie believed him wholeheartedly and they rode off into the sunset together, but they rewrote it slightly when they realized that Ellie had too good of a nose for sniffing out bulltrout to entirely believe him.

(SPOILER)If that was at all directed at me, I did adress I had this odd bit where there was a scene that dragged on longer then other copies, giving a different impression then others, so I realize the chance he was lying wasn't really there like it looked like for me originally. Doesn't change that the events that took place make a bit more sense if he was, in fact, telling the truth. Which comes to be my problem with the ending.

[Shaibana]
