So I'm guessing it's going by that comic that was released.

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)

I feel like I'm bumping an ancient thread, but I didn't find a mention of the Left Behind DLC that just came out.

I downloaded it, installed it, played it and beat it in about four hours. It's worth every cent of the $15 charge. I will give it another play through, but it fills a very specific part of the storyline. Hauntingly beautiful at times, but I warn you that if you don't like the 'duller' walking-around-and-listen-to-Ellie-talk parts of the main story, you're in for a disappointment. The best moments of Left Behind are the subtle dialogue and different things you can do and say between Ellie and Riley.

Spoilers, duh:

Spoiler

1a. Make sure to connect to Facebook! It's neat. I love when games do that, and I love the dialogue in that scene between Ellie and Riley. Their ignorance of the world as it was just a few short years ago is really well done.

1b. They took a very bold writing choice with Ellie kissing Riley. Let's get that out of the way right off the bat. I have a hard time processing this one and it's another reason why I want to play through it again. I say that I have a hard time processing it solely because I don't know how it should be interpreted, per se. Is it as it appears, a genuine display of romantic love? I think so, personally. I'm more than okay with Ellie being a lesbian; it's another interesting dynamic to the best-developed character in video-game history. If it's not romantic love, is it just an emotionally-charged moment between two confused teens? It's not like they've had a lot of time or opportunity to get to know who they are in this world. Is it just a kiss between two best friends? It's hard to decipher from the context. The fact that it was released on Valentine's Day adds fuel to my idea that it's romance, but that's an outside factor that I'm not sure matters. If it is that, it makes the ending extra tragic. My only caveat to the whole thing is that I hope Naughty Dog did this out of a genuine interest in advancing a character who happens to be homosexual rather than a play to the male-dominated video-gamer culture who may see it as an extraordinarily juvenile, "awesome girl + lesbian = way more awesome girl, cue Beavis and Butthead laugh." Right now, I choose to believe in a genuine love between Ellie and Riley and that makes both her initial departure prior to the events of the DLC and her impending death after the DLC all the more devastating.

2. The ending. Yeesh, what a downer. But what can we expect, given how feels-punchy this whole story is. It's good that they show us when Ellie gets her infamous bite, but I wish they would have drawn out the ending longer to give us the full effect of losing Riley. Make us see Riley's turn. Make the player kill Riley. It would be gut-wrenching, heart-shattering, and extremely powerful.

3. It's too freaking short. Playing off #2, it should have been about another hour longer of gameplay. It's maybe four hours maximum if you go super slow and explore everything.

4. Explore everything! The Halloween store is awesome and there are a TON of quips and things to see and lines to share between the girls. I love the Magic 8 Ball. Hilarious.

5. The Mortal Kombat-esque video-game sequence is one of the coolest mini-games ever.

6. They need to do a Joel DLC.

The behind the scenes documentary on the making of The Last of us is now free on amazon. Before it was only available with a purchase of the DLC season pass.

Grounded: The Making of the Last of Us, is now free to download on http://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Makin...=operasport-20.
The 90 min. behind-the-scenes look at Naughty Dog's 2013 title sheds light on the "dogged development" and design theory that went into the game, and is HD-compatible with a wide array of devices.

I actually just sold my copy for $30. I loved the game, maybe my favorite of all time, but I doubt I'll ever replay it again.

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)

I still have not played this game yet, looking to beat Bioshock Infinite within next couple days so I'll be primed and ready for The Last of Us. If anyone is looking to part with their copy collecting dust, shoot me a PM or I'm off to e-bay.

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)

Decided to buy Left Behind today and I'm completely stuck and screwed.

Spoiler

The Enemy of my Enemy section. I'm at the part where you go to unlock the storage unit where Joel is and you get shot at and a ton of guys are after you….I have no ammo, no anything. I've kept trying and trying to find other ways around but I always die, completely done. All i have is my knife.

I hate that the game makes you clear that area.

Are you still stuck on it? Your best bet maybe to just play run-around. Meaning, spam the enemies with bottles, kill the ones you can, and run like a bitch if you can't.

I never got stuck there though. I know this game enough to know to hoard supplies.

By the way, I just played it a second time and hot damn!!! These games are like fine delicacies that just get better with time! My second playthrough was more beautiful than the first and the first was freaking brilliant!

Welp. Off to play the main game again. For the fourth time! LOL! I just can't get enough if this story; of this universe.

I don't think a game has ever done this to me come to think of it.

After finishing the DLC I have also gone back and am playing the main story again on survival level and it is fantastic. Even better than the first play through!

Totally agree.

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)

Played the last of us DLC last night and if you enjoyed the game its a must buy. Even though it is only 3 hours and 15$ its well worth the price. It defnetly makes me wanna play the main game again.

Spoiler

I kinda saw the kiss coming but at the same time was caught off guard. The only thing that kinda confused me was the whole joel being pushed behind a horse at first i thought he died but i guess not.
