re: The Last of Us: Remastered Game Thread

Just finished it. Damn Joel is a psycho.

Holy shite, you have something relevant to add

Definitely killed the doctors

Killing the doctors reminded me of killing too many scientists/civilians in goldeneye and failing the mission

Just started "Grounded" mode. Anyone try it? I read up a bit and apparently it's insane

That beginning tho

Just finished. I'm sick in the head. I walked up to the girl dr/nurse that was cowering in the corner and executed her. right in the face. also.. loved the game. great story. I played through very slowly. I spent my time creeping around getting rid of all enemies, then going around finding any and all supplies in areas. Still though, it felt very very short to me. As for the ending, I understand it, didn't really like it. Like could you really be that selfish in a situation like that? Excited to see how a part 2 will play out. Going to play "Left behind" dlc now.

Finished both recently for the first time. LOVED IT! Biggest complaint was the AI of both enemies and friendly NPCs. Everyone was a dumbass. I'd occasionally get help from my allies, but most of the time I'd wish they would just stay in a corner and let me clear out the map (or at least clear out a path for them). But most situations it didn't really matter because it seemed like the enemies very rarely noticed them anyways. FYI, this was on normal difficulty.

That's my only complaint thought. Loved the ending!

**spoilers**

Joel has a second chance of having a daughter. C'mon, how can some of you be disappointed in a story where, god forbid, the main character acts selfishly for a change instead of saving the world. It's completely the opposite of the Hollywood bullshite of the hero saving the day or someone sacrificing their life to save mankind and it's refreshing & real! That is what makes it great! Joel is the exact opposite of the stereotypical hero throughout the entire game, so why would he be anything else than what he had been? He isn't a great guy. He isn't a hero. He isn't "let's save everyone around and live as long as we can together" guy. He is a survive first, mean, don't slow me down because I'll leave you to die s.o.b. If the ending would have been anything different, it would have been typical Hollywood, Video Game happiness - that the opposite of what Joel had been the ENTIRE game. And for those that say him accepting her death to save humanity would represent him growing as a character...his relationship with Ellie was him growing as a character! He wouldn't even thank her for saving his arse at the beginning of the game. at the end of it he is saying screw humanity, I don't want anyone taking this girl (2nd chance of a daughter) away from me. That's character development!

Lastly, the voice actress of Ellie was phenomenal. Possibly the best voice actor I've heard in a game.

It took me like 10 hrs to beat Left Behind on Grounded mode. That's not even an exaggeration.

I became obsessed with beating it and must have done the last part at least 50 times in a row before I did it.

Very well said. The surgery wasn't a 100% sure thing if I remember either and was humanity worth saving at that point? They had problem beyond the virus and the infected weren't the biggest threat.

I finally beat the part in the subway looking area where it's dark with about 7-8 clickers. I was determined to get the parts in the safe. Took me a total of about an hour and a half just to get through that part

The first time I did that took me fricking forever The next 2 times I played, I just breezed through that. It's not as hard as it seems once you play through the game and get used to it but that section is so early in it that you don't have a good feel for it yet.

The sewers will be rough
I'm just doing my 3rd play through on hard + for trophies.
