"Games vs Stories: How they end up ruining each other."

Smart guy.

I haven't actually played The Last of Us. I watched a 6hr youtube video and enjoyed the story. I would have watched a shorter version with most of the gameplay skipped, but it lost too much of its continuity. From watching the gameplay I dont think I really missed out on much from not playing the game. The "puzzle" sections in particular looked awful.

So yah. I watched The Last of Us and it kinda seemed to me like the developers just want to make films. I'm not sure how much worth is really gained from bland interactivity when they could just do away with it entirely and not compromise at all on the story. That said, I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite and I the story was somewhat enhanced by playing it even if the gameplay was somewhat mediocre. Seems a lot of people liked "playing" The Last of Us (although I think a similar number enjoyed watching it too) I just struggle to define it as a game. That might also be why a "game" critic has a lot of negative things to say about it.

ps. I wonder if they'll start pulling those youtube vids for copyright infringment.

I see people whining about this too, and I've seen it when I played Tomb Raider. The Last of Us is not Tomb Raider, yeah it controls the game but it's less dance dance revolution and more experimentation with how to clear or get by an area.

In short, this is a really good Game, despite all the times it takes control away from the player, to me it was never intrusive and it always served a purpose. I simply loved playing it.

Last of us seems to blur the line between gaming and movie...THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING!!!

At last! The US law enforcement is doing something about PETA!

A lot of confusion and emotion here guys (& girls).
Don't turn against each other in the confusion.

We all react differently, that's how we function as a society.

Anger, Sadness, Remorse, Horror, Whatever! It is still emotion and we as human beings are all shocked and confused.

My heart weeps for humanity and everyone involved as the mental images will last in us for a very long time.

There is not enough conspiracy in this thread! Where are the tie-ins to chemtrails, Bigfoot and the aliens? You DID know the last 10 US presidents as well as the English royals are from long family bloodlines of alien-human hybrids?

Were I you, I'd be converting my US dollars to Ameros, which will soon be the only coin vending machines take. The NAU is coming!

when was the last time US intervention in a foriegn country brought about stability? Most of our actions are intended to destabilize an area, not stabilize and grant autonomy.
