Recently played this for the first time. It's gotta be one of my favorite games, I recommend it to anyone that has a PS. Might be the best acting I've ever seen in a video game. I played the remastered version so the look of the game was incredible, I'd be interested to see how much of a gain it was compared to the original.
I'm not much of a stealth guy so the beginning of this game was hard as shit for me. It wasn't until I was more established with weapons that I was able to hold my own in combat. I couldn't imagine playing this game on hard or survival mode.

What a hard hitting beginning. I knew going in that the daughter was going to die but I had no idea she'd die from being shot by the military. I thought that was a great original take. Really sets up Joel's distrust and lack of faith in humankind.
I loved the ending of the game. I thought for sure Joel was going to die (which is usually the case for these older man, child story types) but was relieved to see it was going to do something different. The ending to me was very human, watching Joel save Ellie for personal reasons, keeping her in the dark to not necessarily protect herself but to protect the remnants of his own humanity. He knows that w/o her he has nothing to live for. GOOD SHIT! |
