The Last of Us Tv Show - Anyone saw this?


Saw this on twitter.
Tess's death difference between the game and TV show, around 0:55 they have an infected kiss her to death instead. She literally stood still and let it kissed her.

She was already affected by the infection, you could see her trying to hide her arm twitching just before that. The zombies clearly recognised this since they kind of ignored her, plus her whole goal was to blow them up together with her so she "let" it kiss her (probably on top of fungals in the brains fighting her) to buy time while she fumbled with the lighter.
It was a janky scene but you could see what they were going for. And idk maybe it'd land better on the irl zombies who watch shitty zombie shows that they're angling for as an audience.

Literally what I did with the first one, the supposedly good one, and it was underwhelming to watch given that I was waiting for that game. Can't imagine what it would been if I had actually burned $60 for that.

If I remember correctly the girl in The Last of Us game was based on Ellen Page. Wouldn't you agree that the most iconic aspect of Ellen Page is her massive forehead?

Nah, ellen said that because she was buttblasted about her generic game being completely overshadowed by this.

Sony has been pushing all of their video game IPs, onto TVs in the form of movies and TV shows. Heck, even a Gran Turismo movie is being made, and will be in theaters in August.

What the fuck is that movie going to be about? some teen drama? might as well make a documentary about cars from GT.

Even a twisted metal movie would make more sense.

Anyone that believes /v/ about anything is a fucking retard too. The first game is great. The second one is divisive for really dumb reasons and I pity everyone who hateplayed it just to nitpick every single fucking thing after the tranny thing turned out to be bullshit.

The first game was an overblown overshilled otherwise 'good game' in a year where besides GTAV there wasn't much else, bioshock infinite was another game overhyped which ended up being meh at best after you got past the shyamalan-tier twist. TLOU had a good story for a game............and that's it. The graphics were good for the PS3 which was already like 8yo hardware on its last legs, but anyone playing PC games at the times was laughing at it. The gameplay, well its uncharted with zombies, thats all, and the AI was atrocious, specially ellie which runs around bumping into zombies like nothing. Alyx had better AI nearly 10 years before.

And yes I get the point of the sequel, tho it gets lost in its absolutely garbage execution, "revenge baaaad" but it makes you kill a ton of people with no choice whatsoever, its the same bullshit SpecOps did where it was literally impossible to not napalm the refugees, and that's another game that the press couldn't stop sucking off even tho it didn't sell shit. Was the first tlou better? of course, but because that hack drunkmann wasn't in charge. Too bad he ratfucked the real creators out of the company and has taken the whole thing over, even the tv series.

Well yeah, but I think that was the whole point. "Movie games" were always really clunky, like early Quantic efforts (and further back the FMV era... and I remember something with a robot pig cop in space or something?) and as a whole were/are still kind of a running joke. It's obviously a hard thing to balance. Naughty Dog's focus has been on finding a "cinematic" experience that works and whether you like em or not it's not like they haven't been super influential in the third person one-way garage door genre.
And really influential transitional media is generally rough to go back to if you missed it the first time around because everything that follows vampirises its shit (I've heard this called the Seinfeld effect) so YMMV; I tried the early Uncharted games for the first time a couple years ago for example and couldn't stand em even though I recognise that I probably would have enjoyed them contemporaneously. It's also a matter of taste in terms of genre. Games are an extremely versatile medium and I don't mind when they put everything on the story rather than gameplay (not that ND games really do, though it turns out shitty repetitive climbing sequences got old faster than repetitive sneak & shoot segments) or anything else on the checklist, but if you ain't into it you ain't into it.

The fact is that TLOU1 was at the top of a lot of people's lists for a long time and the retroactive backlash due to the sequel is fucking stupid.

(And for the record I think the sequel is actually a pretty great long-ass revenge western, but the backlash was their own fucking fault for controversy-baiting and I hope it ate enough shit for developers to stop doing that tedious faggotry forever, even though the game itself is fine.)

I'm not saying tlou1 or the uncharted games are bad, I'm saying they are all very overhyped games, and those being at "the top of a lot of people's lists" says nothing to me because you know what else is at the top? fornite, genshin, warzone, apex and other shit. If you mean the press then after 2014 there's no doubt at all that any hype you see in the gaming "press" is 100% the result of bribes and favors, nobody gives praise for free in that sub-industry, at best you might get some publicity for free if your game is going viral but then again did you need that publicity? or is them making clickbait to make money off your game's popularity?

As for naughty dog the irony of them going into the mediocre-laden world of cinematic games isn't lost of me given that the games that made the company what it is, the crash and jak series, were big on gameplay and technical feats necessary to pull that off with the limited hardware att. But then again cinematic games are easier to make and easier to play too which appeals to normies and braindead journos, so I guess that was an easy choice.

The sequel didn't change my opinion of the first tlou at all because I had already been disappointed when that one launched because it was so fucking overhyped. Bioshock infinite was the same, overhyped to fuck. And the year before halo 4 was yet another case of a game that the press couldn't stop sucking off and turned out to be a pile of garbage and a sign that 343 was nowhere near the level bungie had.

That new scene has drunkman's pretentious brainfarts all over it, you can tell he wasnt involved in the original because it was both subtle and a punch to the gut: you don't see what happens but you KNOW what happens, and joel's line adds to the tragedy, that he can't save the people around him, he's powerless, which is why the game ends like it does.

Yeah I learned back when movie trailers all started spoiling the entire fucking movie to stop doing this to myself.
I haven't watched more than a few seconds of an announcement trailer since 2005. Then I make a decision whether I'm interested or not, and turn it off. Then I avoid dumb internet discussions on it if I'm interested until it comes out, and maybe checkout a couple of initial reviews before watching/downloading.

So I go into everything with zero hype or negativity and that's why my opinions are all flawless, and the rest of the internet is retarded. I highly recommend this approach.

Outside of the fungus zombies TLOU1 was notable for its presentation and that's about it. In a lot of ways the game's cinematography and pacing is far better than the show, and you can really feel the absence of Bruce Straley (the original game's co director) in favor of "totally the only guy who had anything to do with TLOU" Neil Druck.

Even back then the story for the game was well executed but that's it. People push it as gaming's Citizen Kane because they're retarded and it's a accessible movie game for journos, when really it's a bog standard sad dad narrative that Telltale's Walking Dead arguably did better right around the same exact time.

The Last of Us is an overhyped piece of shit whose gameplay I only tolerated because I enjoyed the Joel Ellie relation and I wanted to see that through the end. That this game is considered a crowning achievement of anything tells me volumes about why the industry is in the pathetic state it is and 2 has just made it worse.

No, I have not seen the show, and to have the "angry not-director's cut" I rather stick to what I know. I am interested to hear about how much filthy retconing they do so the fireflies aren't absolutely retarded and to make Abbey not be a horrible cunt (and the casting, oh god the casting,make her a tranny for peak clown world).

Never played the game, no desire to after seeing how pozzed the DLC and especially the sequel were like,b but ngl the first half of the first episode was great, and the second episode as a whole too.

Yeah, the girl looks weird with her forehead, but when she was playing in the hotel with the piano and asking for a room and shit it was kind of cute, it did feel like she was just being a kid goofing around not taking things too seriously, it was a nice moment

I thought they were gonna keep Anna Torv way longer, but I guess that Fringe was so long ago she's not a big name anymore.

I just hope it doesn't go to shit too fast, but yeah it's a good walking dead replacement so far

Oh, it's that "actress" Joss Whedon gave several weirdly long close-ups and a speaking line to in the first Avengers movie, despite her part being nothing more than a glorified extra. Wonder why that could have been.

It's because she had a legit plotline that was cut from the movie, but for some reason they kept some of her scenes so it's just jarring that they spend time on a rando we don't know versus a waitress we know and have stakes in

No, you said you played the second half way through. When those leaks came out I couldn't help but check them out when I caught a whiff of just how monumentally bad it was to people that loved the first one.

Aside from the obvious screw job they ran on the casting, the show really helps to underscore just how painfully average TLOU was to begin with. The so called "Citizen Kane of gaming" amounts to Disney+ shlock as a show when you strip out the gameplay.

Sony is such cancer now.
