My prediction: accurate! I'm pleased that you became attached to the story and enjoyed the game (because this means that we can still be friends). In all seriousness, we seem to have picked up on a lot of the same points and I completely agree about Winter: a very interesting beat to insert in the story. It starts off feeling almost like a distraction, but then becomes maybe the most important chapter of the entire tale. Although really, I think this is a game where every chapter could be examined pretty closely and analyzed for meaning. It's a very intelligent story. |

But on the other hand, if they were that engrossed in the story without actually playing the game or even seeing the interactive bits in action, that demonstrates just how much disconnect that there is. But, like I said in the review, engaging is engaging, and I do think that The Last of Us raises the bar not just for storytelling in video games, but the presentation of said story. Really, you need to see this thing in 60fps. It is absolutely stunning.

I also didn't play Left Behind, as my PS3 died around the time it was released, and then also job no time saving money yadda yadda yadda. But I did care enough to read the basic synopsis, and I like at least what I read there, as far as the addition to the story goes.
Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic." |
