    The Last of Us

    It's page seven of this thread, and I'm 2 years late to the game. I'm assuming anyone playing it for the first time and reading this thread this far is fore-warned. So I'm proceeding without spoiler tags. Some miscellaneous thoughts: The Incomparable discussed TLOU in 2014. It's worthwhile...

    The Last of Us

    I finished Left Behind on Wednesday. That was, in its way, even better than the core game.

    The Last of Us

    I'm playing the DLC "Left Behind". I guess I got two thirds through it tonight. It's more an interactive movie, and as such even more potent than the base game.

    The Last of Us

    Wow. I played the last two thirds of the game this past week. The Last of Us lives up to expectations. That was a potent experience.

    The Last of Us

    I started The Last of Us last December. But then, Destiny. I restarted TLOU this afternoon, from the beginning on Easy mode. I'd like to get through it by the end of the year. Because, Fallout 4 (or maybe Uncharted). Even on second viewing, the introductory sequence through the narrative...

    The Last of Us

    I probably need to drop to Easy until I get a handle on this style of game :)

    The Last of Us

    Thanks. This game, frankly, is kicking my ass. I've spent 90 minute stuck on the first encounter with the infected. And the game is brutal: there's no incremental saving. Die, and I'm back to the start of the section. It's like old-school Mario resetting to every level. I may have to cheat and...

    The Last of Us

    I met Ellie, and the game makes a good deal more sense. But I've spent the past hour failing to get past the first set of Runners and Clickers. I'm missing something really basic in how to play this game. I'm completely stuck, on Normal difficulty. The enemies are too strong to kill, but I...

    The Last of Us

    For my tastes, it's so realistic, and the degree of "evil" so low, that it's harder to take as "fun". I'm looking forward to it coming to together. It's a hard game to get into. I'm also struggling to make sense of the controls. It took me two hours to figure out how to shoot. Holding two...

    The Last of Us

    not in the beginning. They're just thugs with guns, in my way.

    The Last of Us

    I started The Last of Us this afternoon. So far, it's a brilliant opening sequence followed by a couple hours of disturbing violence in shades of brown. The intro knocked me out. The game proper: I don't especially like games centered on realistically killing realistic humans. I'm hoping it...
