Played the expansion? A shade more fulfilling.

I started it, but then it recommended I connect to facebook for some reason. Will start it properly tomorrow.

Just finished The Last of Us.

What the ****? And people complain about the ending to Mass Effect?

I liked the ending.

It was pretty much Joel going "**** you, got mine"
He was never a "good guy" was always wading in to other communities and just murdering everyone.

Please no sequel, unless it involves grown up Ellie going all Lara Croft.

What a great country we live in when the lead news story for 5 minutes on every TV news bulletin around the country is the death of a race horse trainer.

What other country would that happen in? New Zealand ? Maybe Ireland?

I was with you until "Please no sequel".

What an arse.

I agree, no sequel, unless it involved Ellie going all Lara Croft, and by that mean, hotpants and a tiny tank top barely holding in a big rack.

Seriously though, what a giant **** you to everyone. I wanted to put the controller down when I seen what was going to happen and not play any further.

You spend the whole game following characters on a mission in a story, only for one of those characters to think "nah **** it" and completely disregard everything you had been fighting for up til that point for selfish reasons.

And that's bad how? It's extraordinary. Very real, and emotionally and morally complex in a way that you rarely if ever see in a video game.

Yeah but who couldn't see that character development coming, especially given the scene with his daughter.

Just give me more ammo. That's all I ask.

 

[edgie]

Kinda funny though, Last of Us forces you to murder a few defenseless doctors in order to progress the story, and there were absolutely zero ****s given.

But a GTA game slips a nip...

It isn't bad, it's very powerful story telling. It's great. It's good that it angers me such, and not in the Mass Effect way, but in a very deliberately written ending way. It's just not what I would've done, and I think that's the thing. So far in gaming, there are 2 kinds of stories:

You play a character that does nice people things.
You play a character and make you own adventure and choose your path.

This is maybe the first time I can remember being so wound up about a linear storyline in a game. It made us question it and look a little deeper.

For a game that preached realism, it was amazing how many enemies with guns who were shooting at me when I killed them, who didn't drop ammo. Were all these guys on their last bullet when I killed them? What are the chances!

Thank

Is it just like in the movie where as an Adelaide fan you've fast forwarded so many Septembers that it just happens automatically now?

You have now ruined click for me. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Whoa whoa whoa. Unless he's Adam Sandler that's totally uncalled for

I have seen it already and I must say that was when I lost all hope in Adam ever regaining his prior form and delisted all of his future movies from my viewing experience.
