I f*cked Ted.
I feel like I should play the game again and just get upto where the episodes are each week 
I'm not sure I remember all of the first game
I'm not sure I remember all of the first gameI started this, but ended up continuing on with the game, and a word of caution:I feel like I should play the game again and just get upto where the episodes are each week
Whether you want or don't want spoilers, I found out that playing the game after a few years has spoilt the shit out of the next few episodes... especially episode 3. I'd forgotten/not noticed Bill's dead partner Frank, and didn't clock that the magazine Ellie has in the car was gay porn. Since their relationship is basically the entirety of episode 3, I'm pissed off with myself a bit.
Now I'm worried there's more I've forgotten that's gonna spoil future episodes. But I can't stop playing.

I've probably played through part 1 about 4 times including the recent remake. (I dont normally replay games at all except for old classic nintendo games)
It will definately take away from the TV show but will still be interesting to see how its all portrayed. Episode 1 except for their neighbours and when she goes to school was practically beat for beat the same

This is definitely gonna end with people accidentally clicking on this one.
Interesting. Partially agree. I thought the first ep was weak in a number of areas, set design and lighting was poor in several scenes, acting was poor in some scenes, etc.
And then just played through to the same areas in the original game (not the 2022 remake) and there are loads of areas the TV show did better.
So yeah. Hmm
Test post don't read
The thread name seems almost perfectly designed to get unaware mobile browser users to click on it. That'll show them, stupid non-gamers.

I think it should be "Game Spoilers from the Last of Us. The Thread"
What about "DON'T CLICK IN HERE, THIS IS THE ONE ELVIS POSTS IN"
How about this one?
There's no limit to what we can accomplish together. Except save the NHS, probably.
Joel dies in the second game

I'm never happy. Thanks for bringing up my mental health, prick.
Vidyoyo is cancelled.
I say rename it to "The First Of Us" since we were first dibs on the amazing story
And that makes us better, in every way

The Last of Us was a great game before they brought out that woke DLC that turned Ellie Lebanese, and then the show made Bill gay. In the game he clearly just had a special man friend like the one my dad used to visit five nights a week.
The Last of Us 2 is Woke As Feck (oh, sorry woke Niall if my use of the word "feck" offends your woke eyes) because they introduced a trans character called Abby in that trailer with the shaved headed boy. Nobody likes Abby, I prefer my characters to have a tragic backstory that makes them antiheroes and makes me question my feelings towards them. And then they end the game by saying Bruce Willis was a ghost the entire fecking time. If it was any more woke it would be drinking coffee.

didn't Joel just make up the diet so he didn't have to grab a biscuit?
Also if it is from the yeast/flour whatever, how quick did they figure it out to everyone stopped eating those items?
It does look like they've set it up so that is the cause of it, think I read Jakarta is biggest exporter or has the biggest flour mill or something too. Jakarta is mentioned on the radio near the beginning of ep one as things starting to go wrong there.

Yes
I doubt anyone would ever figure that out. It would just be all the diehard no carbs people left in the end, and then they'd start dying as well when they were forced to eat bread or whatever. Seems a dumb idea, especially when spores are a much easier way to explain the massive outbreak.
As for the spores, I don't know why they changed that to those dumb tendril things. It's just stupid that that is how it's transmitted when the military could easily handle that kind of outbreak. The spores make it far more insidious and harder to control. And it makes even less sense when you read this dumb shit:

Why? Is it really just changing something for the sake of changing it? It's made it more complicated that it needed to be, IMO. And everything you add on is going to take away from the real meat of the story. Joel and Ellie.

Definitely better not diving into what caused it. The interesting stuff in the world is “that happened, now let’s deal with the consequences” not “why did that happen”.
Regarding the spores I think people are over thinking this. It’s not that important.
Why they changed spores though, honestly there’s two main reasons. They don’t want the cast wearing masks, and also spores always being a threat is kind of awkward to manage the storytelling. When you think about it the game itself didn’t even handle spores well; sometimes they’re a danger, other times they practically don’t exist. They’re a device of convenience in the game more than anything, which players just go along with but television watchers would be more nitpicky about.
I'm loving the enthusiasm that some of the gamers are having with the show, but there's one thing that's absolutely hilarious. It's the folk online saying things like "Loving the callbacks to the game" and then they list them; bandaging themselves, lifting Tess up, looking in their bag. You know; things people do all of the time.

I thought the nods to using a piece of rag to bandage Ellie's arm, what seems to be the game's sound effect for tape when Joel is doing whatever the feck he was doing to Tess's foot and so on was a nice touch to be honest.
I finished the game again today, it's still superb; but the ending continues to not sit well with me.
If this was game realistic like people say, then why isn't one of them dying, and then it skips back to a previous save point and doing something different?
Pfft
Pfft
They need to show a clicker ripping Joel's throat out, but then freeze frame just as you see the jugular tearing.
"Welp, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation..." *Awesome 80s music starts playing as Joel skateboards down the road*
They’ve absolutely nailed it so far.
finished watching episode 2 tonight and thought it was good. Really liked the opening scene. Was a nice addition to expand the world. Did not like how tess died. Was really weak compared to how she died in the game. A needless change that did a disservice to the character. But over all good episode.
if it helps, the writers have confirmed that Tess was seconds away from completely turning, hence why she looked like she had given up and that runner knew it (hence why nobody charged her, merely "welcomed" her into the fold). It took her last piece of humanity to light that flame
They could have done a better job of showing it with the close ups but you can see that there's a moment where her lighter clicks become hesitant just before she is caught
