March Modern Community Playthrough - The Last of Us

Same here. I find it difficult to talk about this game without sounding like a fanboy, but it's absolutely amazing in every way.

this is a thing

They must have seen all that amazing clicker cosplay.

This is interesting news. Will it be like the Assassin's Creed movie with Michael Fassbender that is being rewritten even 6 months and likely won't see the light of day?

How can they condense the story into a two hour movie?

Just play the cutscenes and remove all the terrible gameplay. Sounds good to me.

I find this news very surprising because the creative leads behind the game said Joel and Ellie's story is over. They did, however, say that if they can come up with a good story to tell a sequel could be possible. Maybe this is that good story they were talking about.

[techwizard]

it could be a sequel but my best guess will be an adaptation, especially since like you said they didn't really want to do a sequel. as for fitting in a 2 hour movie, i don't think it would be that difficult. like grayghost said, just cut out the gameplay (you don't like it?), and maybe a few scenes that aren't totally essential. i could see a lot of stuff in boston being cut, the stuff with "robert" near the beginning, maybe even all the scenes with Henry and Sam (i liked them a lot but i wouldn't call it essential to the plot).

I finished the game last night. About to watch Grounded right now. I have a lot of thoughts. Trying to decide whether to write them out or just link to a youtube vid or two in which a more eloquent speaker will express feelings about this game which I agree with.

Will you play the DLC level, Shawn?

It's worth it. You'll learn about Ellie's past and about what happened between the Winter and Spring segments.

I'm going to pass. I've had my fill of this story and its characters.

what's your general opinion of it, positive or negative? I know the ending can leave a sour taste in your mouth if you don't agree with it, but I loved how they did something that felt so wrong and debatable.

I loved the ending. I actually wrote Fleach a long pm today on my thoughts which I will probably just cut and paste here soon. Long story short everything was awesome except having to actually play the game. A lot of games are like that nowadays so it's not a big deal. I didn't want to nitpick everything while I was playing so I haven't posted anything really. I actually enjoyed the game a lot, but it may be one of the most overrated pieces of media ever created, as the press seemed to ignore its most glaring issues.

Week 3 checkpoint is up!

Survive the cruel winter.

[techwizard]

haven't really done anything in this playthrough yet because of Phantasy Star but once i've beaten that i should have a good week left in march to power through TLOU. i beat it my first time through in only 4 days so i shouldn't have any problem with it

[Fleach]

Beating this game within a week shouldn't be too hard. There's only one trial and error shooting gallery, and with the exception of being spotted by an enemy just off-screen (happened a lot to me) this game is pretty easy.

I just finished the Winter portion of the game. Always love that part.
