Who Is The Better Character? Ellie (The Last of Us) or Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite)?

Omnigamer writes "There is only one real comparison you can draw from both The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite and that is the two main characters. In The Last of Us you have Joel and Ellie and in Bioshock Infinite you have Booker and Elizabeth. There is no real comparison you can do between Joel and Booker, a large part being you never even see Booker (although both characters are voiced by Troy Baker). However, Elizabeth and Ellie are two characters you can compare, because you always see them and they are important to the plot of the games that they are in."

Ellie. I think she deserves an award.

HammadTheBeast3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

Ellie-zabeth is the best.

End of discussion.

Fun fact: Joel and Booker are voice acted by the same person. Pretty cool right?

Not much of a fun fact when it is mentioned in the article summary. D:

dedicatedtogamers3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

I'd say Ellie was better. Ellie (and Joel, and several other TLoU cast members) is the most "real" videogame character I've seen, ever. I'm not simply talking about facial animations, her voice-acting, or her subtle shifts in body language. The way she talks and the things she says makes her feel like she really could be a real person.

Elizabeth struck me as Ken Levine's interpretation of a super-powered anime heroine. It is absolutely no coincidence that B:Infinite spawed endless "muh waifu!" confessions for Elizabeth. She was an entertaining partner with big boobs but little more.

Edit @ below

How am I a Sony fanboy when Infinite also came out on PS3? I guess I'm a fanboy because I enjoyed a PS3 exclusive? Erm...okay.

UNGR3962d ago

Well you sure played down one of the best characters this year, and this generation. I swear, the scent of Sony fanboy is so strong when I read your shenanigans. It's comical, yet entertaining.

Loki863962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

The fact that this has 14 agrees is an embarrassment, Elizabeth had a multi-directional personality with alot of substance for her backstory. She conveyed every emotion and took you to hell and back with her performance. She was alot more then "an entertaining partner with big boobs." Just wow.

kreate3962d ago

I don't think these ppl played TLoU yet.

Just making one sided arguement.

hulk_bash19873962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

They are both great characters and as you progress in the game you will care for both of them. Two great games from very talented studios, and they both came out this year. In the end, us as gamers win.

WitWolfy3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

Ellie just has that X factor.. I dunno , maybe becuause she's more believable than Elizabeth...

Skips3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

Not HANDS down...

I like both, but DEFINITELY Ellie a bit more. She felt like a person I would actually know. lol

Utalkin2me3961d ago

Maybe not clearly hands down to you. But clearly hands down to me and it's not even close.

Thisisjuju3962d ago

I think both are equal. Drastically different themes and settings in the game makes a comparison seem almost irrelevant?

dale_denton3962d ago

i played both and i had a better connection with ellie.. i really wanted to protect her as if she were my daughter.

grailly3961d ago

yeah, quite often I after climbing over something that seemed a bit high, I would turn around to see if ellie was able to manage it, and not because I was afraid of losing my AI partner.

rainslacker3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

Bioshock's game design never gave a reason to feel you needed to protect her, maybe just rescue her. No one in B:I ever went after her. She could handle herself. She actually helped you a lot along the way. Despite her being confined all her life, she tried to be independent. In many ways she was actually stronger than Booker.

I can't really speak to Ellie yet. I just got to Pittsburgh in TLOU, but so far she seems like a stronger character. But I haven't really felt the need to protect her either. I like how her character is portrayed though. Kinda like a typical tomboyish teen girl. I still haven't really seen the relationship between Joel and Ellie go far enough to make a fair assessment on her character.

dale_denton3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

@rainslacker let me know your opinion again sir after you beat it.

Lisica3961d ago

You finished the game already?

Blankolf3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

I think both of them are quite different and quite well characterised, one comes from a post apocaliptic world come to life with a more real life psychology of a girl born in war/post-apocalipse and the other is from a fantasy world with a psychology of a woman from the (EDIT) from the 10s/20s.

Burrito26a3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

60's/70's??? When were you born that you think thats what the 60's and 70's looked like? Try the 10's/20's.

Blankolf3962d ago

You are quite right sir.

wenaldy3962d ago

What burrito said, in fact it's victorian style (dated in the late 20th century).

CaptainYesterday3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

Oh man Ellie there's something about that character I love, when I'm playing the game and she starts to hum it puts a smile on my face.

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx3962d ago

Is that some kind of perversion? >_< LOL jk JOKING just a jest lol.

On topic. I loved both Ellie & Elizabeth. Great characters, great partners, never a dull moment with either of them, but i gotta give it to Ellie. She seemed so real, with every movement, every line, how she reacted to my every move ("Holy sh*t Joel!"). Every small subtle movement, every joke paid off.

ltachiUchiha3962d ago

Ellie hands down. I think elizabeth is awesome but playing the last of us just made u care so much for Ellie. I was more worried about her then I was about myself but I was playing the game as if I was really joel & protecting Ellie as if she was my daughter, it just made the tension feel so real. Something I really didnt feel while escorting Elizabeth.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast81d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs78d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast78d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs77d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast77d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer81d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6981d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger125d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2381d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid125d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast125d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
