Giraffes: A Discussion We Simply Could Not Have

Giraffes. It’s all about the Giraffes. “The Last of Us” is a game that I believe gains its beauty from the stark contrast of not only its main and supporting cast, but the stark settings they traverse throughout the game as well. From the opening moments of the game you are forced to watch a loving, single father transform in sheer seconds into the survivalist he needs to be in the Fungi infested world.

If you have not played “The Last of Us” and plan to, you should stop now. Spoilers ahead… you have been warned.

I like your point of view. :)

CelticGamer3734d ago

Appreciate that. Thought that seeing as the game has came out 6 months ago people wouldn't really be interested in this.

WeAreLegion3734d ago

Good read!

<<<SPOILERS AHEAD>>>

I hadn't even thought about Joel's decision being based on anything but Ellie. I guess it's entirely possible that he took the Cabin in the Woods approach.

CelticGamer3734d ago

Very glad you liked it WeAreLegion.

cjflora3734d ago

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but wasn't it also implied that Ellie wasn't the first person with the immunity and that they were basically doing trial and error on anyone they could find that was immune until they figured it out? That made complete sense to me. Usually scientists/doctors don't find a fix for things on the first try. They have to attempt it multiple times to learn.

KentBlake3734d ago

No, that 's just what Joel told her...it was not necessarily the truth.

Lord_Sloth3734d ago

Statistically speaking it must be true seeing as there always some1 immune to a virus but finding them would be impossible short of letting them get bit. For all we know Joel or Bill could have been immune. They just don't get bit.

Ellie only found out due to her excursion with Riley. Girl woulda lived a life in a gas mask if that were the case.

cjflora3734d ago

Oh ok, that must be what I'm remembering.

JerryLavelle3734d ago

I believe this conversation takes place at the very end of the game... My 2nd fav. Scene

Ehash3734d ago

Such an interesting perspective! Great analysis!

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."

anast84d 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.

AlterRecs81d 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"

anast81d 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.

AlterRecs80d 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

anast80d ago

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

DrDoomer84d ago

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

CrimsonWing6984d ago

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

AlterRecs81d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6981d 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.

Chocoburger128d 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.

seanpitt2384d 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

Linzoid128d 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…

anast128d 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?
