I am extremely interested in seeing games become able to tell a GOOD (and I repeat GOOD) story that doesn't rely heavily on linear cutscenes. In this, The Last of Us (and basically almost or every game so far, ever) fails. Even an open world game like Red Dead Redemption, which tells a story almost as mature and good…

Back when the ps1 came out I was a little shit and didn't really follow what was going on in the industry. I do know I was a dumbass though because I purchased a 3DO AND an Atari Jaguar.

That's ok. I'd try to rent a ps3 or something 'cause this game is one of the best I've played, ever. I don't know what kind of games you consider your favorite so I don't know how much it would appeal to you specifically but for me, it was really really. good.

I don't particularly feel compelled to defend Sony. I have no loyalty towards any particular corporation. I have preferred one console over another at a specific point in time based on the circumstances AT THE TIME, but if those circumstances change I don't see a need to continue sponsoring them with my money. I'm…

The reason I was asking is that ps1 came out in 1994. Assuming you were very young back then (say, for example, 6), you'd still be a grown man by now. Why would you be carrying a childish grudge over a plastic toy that came out two decades ago?

I honestly don't want to insult you but if such a trivial matter has become…

The PS1 was a while back. May I ask how old you are?

The Evil assassin Casu Marzu, expert in poisons.

You're really milking these puns. I dairy you to come up with more.

Comparisons because they are both stories of an adult man with a sinful past travelling across-country with a young girl who is not their daughter who eventually develop a father-daughter relationship as a means of redemption for their past sins in a post-apocalyptic world populated by savagely infected creatures that…

I just finished Pittsburg. I don't know if Normal with hearing off is MUCH easier than Hard with hearing on, or if that hospital level with the fireflies has simply turned me into an expert murder machine, but I'm finding the game fairly easy this time around.
I just passed Pittsburg and honestly the only section that…

Yeah the violence in this game was not, in my opinion, gratuitous. It was definitely brutal and grotesque, but it's not design so that you'll go "wwwwooooohoooooo I blew his head off coooooooool!", it's there to shock you and frighten you. I often came out of a tense fight feeling physically agitated by the game and…

SEQUEL (UN)WISH LIST:

Well, I'm not a young gamer either and yes, I'm thankful for having played it on hard but I don't think I'll do that again any time soon, haha.

That said, I started a new game on normal and I removed hearing. So far I'm doing quite fine, but I'm prepared to kick it down to easy (hearing off) if it gets too hard. I…

"I must say though, when I got to the end, I figured Joel would die carrying Ellie out or he would arrive at the operating room far too late, and we'd get a Henry parallel before the cut to black"

Yes! That ending was brilliant because even though it plays with familiar cliches, for a moment there, I had two…

Definitely, at least that's how I interpreted it. I'm pretty sure the game's moral thread was left ambiguous enough on purpose so as to allow discussion and various interpretations among the people who play it.

The thing is, on most online discussions I've seen, people seem to focus mostly on how Joel's need for…

It was just extremely ridiculous. People behaved in ridiculous, completely preposterous ways (a cartographer getting lost, the biologist who's terrified by an alien corpse, the same biologist who then finds a LIVE alien and decides the best approach is to stick its face in it) and the film was filled with scenes that…

Thanks, forgot to add that the first act of human misery we see committed is right in the game's prologue, when the world has not yet gone to shit and a soldier murders Joel's daughter (without even knowing if she's infected).
So yes, that plus the shit Joel has had to live through for another 20 years, plus what we…

I would have NOT given him the note, but I just saw a little triangle over his head and pressed the button and all of a sudden I was giving him the note, so... yeah...

I shot all three Doctors.

I didn't hate them and I know I didn't need to, but I was playing on hard and that last sequence was so long and so difficult and so tense. I lost almost all my health near the beginning of that section, and I survived with a tiny sliver of it for the rest of that segment. Every single guard I…
