...I mean, I’m not a fan of the outfit, but that’s mostly because it just looks so danged busy.

Same, it’s exhausting yet i’m really excited and hoping season 2 and 3 are done well, I really love the story of part 2.

That’s a lot of shovelware preserved.

Season 1 is part 1. Season 2 & 3 are going to be Part 2. Druckman and Mazin have literally said this.

This entire article is framing this as if TLoU didn’t do this story back in 2013.  Huge swaths of this episode (and the series) are straight form the game, and aside from seeing the men and women of the community, this is maybe the closest the show has hewn to the game.

all four of the turtles are played by younger, lesser-known actors

“...and then I kill strange block-headed man with womanly glasses!”

Ditto. It was always something I was interested in but perfectly willing to wait for a sale on.

I love the lore in Fromsoftware games! So good!

If you don’t seek the answers online, you will have the pure, personal experience that the devs strived to give you. You will not finish, or even find, every single quest, but the ones you do will be even more memorable for it.

Plus The Turning was supposed to be a rip-off of Mortal Kombat because Druckman said they didn’t want to have to build a version of it in the DLC and pay the licensing so they just made a fake game that’s basically the same thing. Plus, what works in the DLC of imagining the game because the…

It makes me happy knowing bigots can’t enjoy a fucking thing anymore.

I think they’re saving the “imagination” sequence for a certain scene in season 2, which is why they chose not to do it here. Otherwise, people (mainly non-gamers) would probably say they went to the same well twice.

Mortal Kombat’s huge impact is far more likely to ignite some sort of emotional response from TV viewers than a fake game that is mentioned a couple times on a videogame they probably didn’t play.

What a cynical way to look at things, lol. It didn’t feel like an ad, and I think they enhanced the moment from the game by doing it this way.
