So I'm playing Last of Us and enjoying it for the most part. The graphics are great. The game play is smooth and interesting. The music is nothing special, but sets the atmosphere well. My beef is with the limited understanding of reality by the game developers. The young girl in the gamee, Ellie is obscene, and disrespectful of her elders. And for somee reason, with next to no experience in life she is somehow endowed with a deeper understanding of life than Joel, the adult. An adult female at the beginning of the game is extremely violent which is such an unrealistic portrayal of women. Do the game developers think that they are being 'progressive' by living in a delusion. What do you think? Also, the game developers leave it up to Ellie, the young girl  to decide whether there is a heaven or not. And of course she selfconfidentally says she doesn't think so. So according to the game deveelopers there is no point to life. Life is crap, we live and die, and that's it. This is the shallowest, unthoughtful point of view that I can imagine. There is no rational reason to believe this point of view. And there is no reason given to support this nihilism. So are game developers good at graphics and stupid at life. What do you think?

What?

Bolded1: Sounds like a teenager to me
Bolded2: Sounds like a teenager to me (Haven't played yet, but her thinking she's smarter than Joel sounds like a typical teenager)
Bolded3: Sounds like real life to me (women can be cruel and brutal, too...)
Bolded4: Sounds like someone who just is caught in the apocalypse. How did you come to the conclusion this is the intended statement by the developers to the players?
Bolded5: Actually there is, Zombie apocalypse and all...

Conclusion: I think I can't agree with you. At all.
