''The Last Of Us has swept up high praise from nearly every corner of the industry; critics love it, players adore it, and it’s proven to be a huge success. However, one part of the game that has gone somewhat unnoticed is how The Last Of Us dips its toes into something of a taboo topic, even in the modern day state of video games. That taboo topic is one of homosexuality. It’s so subtle and underplayed that the chances are most did not even notice it, and that commands respect to Naughty Dog and their writing team.''
It's amazing how naughty dog kept that hidden in the game I have played through the game 3 times and I never noticed till now well done naughty dog
I'm so glad Sony owns Naughty Dog. Any other company would have censored this or had it removed from the game. Kudos to Sony for being progressive .
Bill was fucking amazing along with the other characters in TLOU. As a gay man myself, it was wonderful to see a bad ass, macho-man gay dude representing in the most awesome way possible. *SPOILER* On a personal level, the death of his "partner" hit a little hard for me. Like it's not hard enough to find a gay partner in this lifetime, but near impossible in an apocalyptic after math...it's more than likely Bill will die alone and it's heart-breaking.
