I call rubbish on this tbh because having watched the series it is a very good adaption but as film and TV goes TLOU is not even close to what you are trying to peddle here it's only really considered good story telling in the gaming space. What makes TLOU what it is are the competent story scenes scatter around the solid gameplay segments, the gameplay segments are often overlooked in their role in the game. To highlight this a game will often have a cutscene followed by an in game set piece which puts the player directly in the action, this elevates any story around that segment hence why games get away with bog standard stories because the player is directly in the thick of it. When you convert this to TV and Movies it comes off different because unlike gamers who are thrown directly into the action viewers can only ever be a third party to it. TLOU TV show didn't fail to convey the story it actually executed that part perfectly it just couldn't replicate what the gameplay segments add so the result is the story is just seen as what it really is a competent decent story. |
I didn't say the series didn't tell the story good. it's just people think the game told the story much better cause you spend so much time with elle in the game so that connection is much stronger compared to the series where they don't seem to nearly have the same bond as the game . joel in the game is just shows way more emotion then the actor played in the movie. |
The people who think this are again gamers who played the game and would have played through the gameplay segments I mentioned. They have more connection to the characters as a result, the actors in the show had just as much emotion but they don't have gameplay segments to help the audience connect with them better.
For example in the hospital gamers would have navigated it of their own accord and pulled the trigger that is more direct involvement than watching someone doing it themselves on TV.
