What you guys think ? game of this gen ? And the story ? Do you liked the ending or do you think joel was selfish? |
I agreed with everything you said in the parts I deleted. If I had to pick just one game of last generation to give a 10, I think I would choose The last of us. Fantastic story and fantastic characters. Original gameplay that rewarded conservation. There's never been a game where I'm incredibly happy to have one magazine. I have to say though, the ending was amazing. And It's because Joel was selfish. A lot of people have criticized the ending because they say it's not the ending what they would have done. A video that did a joke "summary" of the game like to repeatedly use the phrase "f*ck you, got mine" to criticize the story. The thing is, it's not really a joke. That "theme" (if you want to call it that) is used a lot throughout the game. This is because that's the point. Joel isn't supposed to be that much better than any other person. He's just another guy trying to live, so he'll do whatever it takes, and doesn't care about the rest. The ending of the game was fantastic because the two major characters live. Video games love to kill the main character nowadays because it "edgy." Honestly I was 90% sure that Joel was going to die the entire way through, and he was going to sacrafice himself in some heroic way. But they didn't do that because Joel is not a hero.
