Moderator Tommy 12,606 Posted February 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2023 I've read that they used Max Richter's "On the Nature of Daylight" in an episode. Now I have to watch it. One of my favourite pieces of music of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Right, I am off the leash... I will start watching this tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey 1,187 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Been avoiding this like the plague as I've been doing the game but finished it last night so can crack on with this. I think had I played the game at the time it was released, with zero insight it could have been a real 10/10. As it happens, was still absolutely superb. Ellie is probably one of the best side characters ever written, she's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted February 21, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 21, 2023 I am all caught up and have to say this show gets better as the episodes progress. I like how the little cues in the show that are just dropped about the characters helps viewers understand the kind of people they are. EP6 imo is a great exposition on how to turn the show after characters tell you things about themselves. Every time someone says that it's easy to adapt a video game to TV I am wary because they've literally fucked up most games in the adaptation process but this is very good. At the start I didn't care for Bella Ramsey and I still don't honestly but Pedro's depiction of Joel is superb. Edit: Give this a watch @nudge you won't be disappointed and no there is no Alien:Isolation style horror in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had high expectations going in with the best part of the games being the story and I'm still in awe of what they did with it. I didn't care for the casting of Bella Ramsey originally but I think she's been an excellent Ellie overall. At the end of the day your right though Pedro steals the show and I think the last episode in particular just shows off his range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the moment have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goku de la Boca 121 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The Last Of Us to me is just a movie disguised as a game anyways. Still, happy Naughty Dog eventually got this to become a series with their brilliant story telling back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NPC's weren't just pilons and actually reacted to noises and patrolled area's decently enough even on mid difficulty. You are definitely right about the story telling though which is why I was pretty excited when this was announced, it seemed like it would translate seemlessly and so far its far exceeded my expectations.

The first one has an amazing story, never emotionally been sucked into a game like I was in the first one. Will stay quiet on the second one as you've not yet played it.

Really looking forward to the second tbh, did the first and the DLC so taking a break before jumping into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great for stealth/hiding, like Unchartered it helps you to hide in bushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like Abbie quite a bit too but I definitely didnt sympathize with her the same way just given how the first game goes and how attached we all get to Ellie because of that as well.

Second one got stick due to Joel getting killed early in the game. But that set the story and the tone for the game. First one does have a better story in my opinion. Second one I preferred Abbie story and her relationship with the 2 scars she rescued. Ellies started of good but I found her to be too depressing, in fact I preferred her character in the first game. If a third was made how would you see it going? Remember there is Dina who left after Ellie went after Abbie. I wouldn't mind a story which bridges the gap between the first and second game. How the community was built and generally what happened between the first game and the second game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
