![]() Instead of focusing on the torment of how Ellie came to realise that she's immune to the virus, it let you in on the good times she and Riley spent together, and how Riley's influence shaped Ellie in some specific areas of her character. But instead of simply retelling what we already know, they opted for something a little more uplifting, even in the face of a tragedy. I was glad they didn't show the death scene, because what point would it serve? We already know she was going to die, we already know how that relationship came to an end. The main game basically spoils 95% of the DLC. Also we still don't know how Ellie got into the Fireflies.īTW: I think someone who hasn't played TLOU should play the DLC first. I feel like that moment would have been ridiculously sad. I came to see Riley die and all I got was an abrupt ending where both were sitting around and Ellie crying a bit. "I'll kill his wife! All his friends! Burn his damn house down." Oh right the Unforgiven reference was pretty damn good. But the ending in Left Behind is a little too happy (and obviously they could've made some pretty severe choices at the end to make it less so). The main ending of the game is ridiculously good, like so far beyond every other game story and most other movie stories (Probably the third best movie this year) so ambiguously not good, not hopeful, not inspirational. The ending is eh, too uplifting for The Last of Us. I'm sure there's some villain from the Postman guy out there who will figure it all out, hopefully he doesn't come across Joel and Ellie in the process though, those 2 crazies could murder a 20,000 man army. Women are less likely to be murderous monsters (Ellie's got that torch though) so it's a tougher sell, thus the only comfort is manlove. Pretty recurring theme across the whole game actually the hunters are too stupid to reproduce and become quite bullish as a result. Being gay in a post apocalyptic environment doesn't give much hope for humanity barring some agreement to reproduce. Best part was the random collectibles about the helicopter crew. Riley has like spider senses or some shit, but I still got skillz. Should be fun to go through it again on Survivor. Played through it, good stuff (it's not too short assuming you explore the environment). I'm loathe to actually get the platinum in this game because I don't want to play through it with a guide feels too gamey for this game of games. They made normal infected smarter, which is a little weird seems like that inevitable horde mode is In contrast to the main game I thought the collectibles were pretty easy to find. So, yeah, it's pretty fucking There's a fight with nigh 25 infected/humans have fun with that. ![]() But I think that would probably my only criticism, and it's barely even what I'd call a criticism really. Though watching both the infected and the hunters withstand a copious amount of damage from each other before dying was a bit weird. The carousel, the origins of Ellie's joke book-not to mention her desire to whistle-tinkering around in the halloween store, ''playing'' the MK-spoof via Riley's narration, and-probably my favourite snippet-the photoshoot!Įven the combat portions were made to feel slightly different, with you sometimes able to manipulate the infected to then force them to battle it out with the hunters. ''We eat together, we sleep together, we shit together''.Ī lot of great moments peppered throughout in general, too. The mini-story of the three medics was also well done, and nicely tied into the theme of living for your loved ones and sticking by them through better or worse. Which is good, because I at first thought it was purely as an excuse to splice in some combat, so I was happy to see it served more of a purpose. That, and it was to show the results of Riley's invaluable advice she bestows onto Ellie during the end. ![]() It was to no doubt contrast a more playful Ellie of then, and the much more serious and battle-hardened Ellie during the winter portion of The Last of Us. ![]() What was also surprising is how they decided to tie Ellie's past with the moment where she's scavenging for supplies. The thought began to run through my mind a little, specifically during the photoshoot segment, but then of course it becomes a lot less ambiguous later on. It made for an interesting semi-origin story for Ellie, and it was especially interesting to learn that the relationship between her and Riley was growing to become more than a friendship. I was at first a little reluctant when I noticed the price of £12, but it was completely worth it. For anyone who isn't already aware, the single-player DLC for The Last of Us is available! Released on Valentines Day of all things, though I wonder if that was intentional.Īnywhoo, I personally thought it was superb.
