the Last of US TV show (all things TLOU)

[ocnbrze]

ok so looks like HBO has another winner on their hands. the Last of US is just 2 episodes in and i must say that i am completely enjoying it.

have any of you played the game yet? i loved the first two episodes that i just bought the game and i just started playing the game.

i think this is the best adaption from game to film.

has anybody else watched the first two episodes and also played the game? what are your thoughts so far?

 

[jhtalisman]

I have played both games and also am watching the series.

So far I have enjoyed the series, but there have been little changes from the game, such as

Spoiler: A death

How Tess died

. Still looking forward to the rest of the show.

It has officially been given a second season as well.

I really could not get into the video game either, I tried it once as a demo several years ago, and just could not get into it, the last open world game like that I have rage quit like that was, Beyond Two souls, something about the camera angel kept annoying me.

well i am playing the game now and it is really good. they remastered it so things are slightly different from the original.

ok i'll be back guys, now that football is over and it is sunday, i'm gonna watch episode 3 now.......

I'm liking the series so far, I watched a video walk through of the game a couple years ago and they're keeping it close to the game.
Another hit for Pedro!!!

Is it another zombie filled, Walking Dead type thing?

Is it another zombie filled, Walking Dead type thing?

kind of. they are not zombies per se....more zombie like than zombies.

the overall premise is that the infection is spread via a fungus. it was spread via grains from rice and flour.

here is the opening scene that gives you an idea:

and it even refers to a real fungus that infect ants:

its truly an original and genius take on "zombies"

 

[Dannydet]

The fungus invades a host and overtakes it completely, thus turning the host into a collective, zombie....
Yuck....

so the third episode was a very different, very moving episode. i loved it.

 

[ocnbrze]

wow just wow!!!!!

episodes 4 and 5 were just amazing. 4 setups 5 and what a crazy ending to 5! i am not yet there in the game.....can't wait to see what is next for joel and ellie in this series.

One of the best games I've ever played. Not really so much the gameplay itself but just for the story, the human side of it, the small details, how they brought the unthinkable to life in a realistic way. I think it got 8.5 / 10 or higher from basically every reputable game review site out there, and with very good reason. Really can't recommend it enough, even if you're someone who only casually enjoys video games.

Loving the TV show so far. Only complaint is that I wish they had more than 9 episodes to use to cover the first game

yep just started playing the game after watching the first episode. not sure why i never played it when it came out originally. playing it now and it is very good. i think i was into Dead Space games then. and was just horror gamed out back then.....lol

 

[ocnbrze]

episode 7 was really good. i dig the flash back and how the ending of the flashback played a role in real time of the episode. it is definitely a well written show. i have yet to find an episode that was bad.

anybody have a favorite episode so far? most people will say episode 3, but for me episode 7 was just great. it could not have been written any better.

 

[ocnbrze]

WOW episode 8 was so good!!!!

is it me or are these episodes just keep getting better and better?

who saw the pastor as a canibalistic pedophile? i got creepy vibes for sure from the beginning. and i new the that there was something evil about him.

Well those of us who have played the game knew about the cannibal part. The pedo part was a slight possibility in the game but was definitely played up more in the show.

Sad that we only have 1 episode left. I'm super interested to see what they'll do with Ellie's backstory, which is something that the game never addressed

there was a dlc about ellie and riley which was depicted in the mall scene in episode 7. so we got to know how she was bitten and who she first killed. we got to see her at school. are you talking about the story of how she grew up? about her parents?

I'm not spoiling anything

Yep, releasing for PC at the end of this month. It's been in development for a long time, seeing as it came out for PS5 last fall.

Regarding the show, I hate that the finale is going to be the shortest episode of them all - less than 45 minutes :'(
