    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Alright. That's enough. I actually can take anything you throw at me. But I choose not to because I don't have to. Because I have self-respect. And I can take what you threw at me but contrary to what you claim I didn't deserve it. And I'm not talking about any special care or attention...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Okay. I'll rephrase a bit. From a free speech/human rights standpoint mocking may fall under that kind of thing. But even if you have a general human or legal right to mock (because that falls under free speech) that doesn't mean that you SHOULD do it. It's still not a good thing to do...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Just in case you're wondering why my words may not have shown up in your quote notification (if it's turned on). This was because I accidentally hit "post" before I wrote anything. I've corrected this little error on the actual forum via editing. Okay now. I guess first I'll explain why...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    @ gjkbgt I realize that this is at least somewhat belated and possibly redundant but it's just to help make sure that the point I made with my edit to my last post gets across. In the last post you made in response to one of mine you seemed to be needlessly making fun of at least one or...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Okay. There seems to be stuff to clear up. I don't know where most, if not all, of that stuff you just brought up is coming from. I never implied that the subject matter was beyond you. It's possible that you might have felt like I was doing that but I wasn't and I didn't. I know that I...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    If you do not believe a product is something that you're going to enjoy then so be it. It's only logical that you not buy it. But even so not having the means and/or the will to experience something for yourself still doesn't give you the right to make that kind of judgement call about it...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Keep in mind that in The Walking Dead the apocalypse just happened very recently whereas in The Last of us it happened twenty years ago. That's twenty years of resources drying up, the infection spreading, and people dying through all kinds of causes. I wonder what the setting of The...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    The demo might not give context. But the game itself does. You might want to actually experience the game for yourself before making that kind of judgement call.

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    And what about The Last of Us and Telltale's The Walking Dead video game? Would they be exceptions too?

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Old idea? Perhaps. But it's also an awesome execution of said old idea. I get the impression that even if an idea is old and has been done a lot of times before as long as the person using it does a good job with it a lot of people won't mind. It looks like this is the case with The Last of...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    "Soulless" is one of the last words I would use to describe this game. And it's very different from the Uncharted games in numerous ways. Particularly in terms of writing and characters for example. It also isn't a "zombie game" strictly speaking. You fight against more humans than infected...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    No one is denying that human beings have a better chance of survival in groups (or at least I am not). There is strength in numbers. But that doesn't necessarily mean that forming groups encourages and supports positive human behavior. There are outlaw gangs, there is organized crime, there...

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Stealth in the game is useful, but in many cases totally optional. So whether or not someone wants to use it depends on their play style. In my experience stealth generally saves resources, but can take longer. However, sometimes the game will put the player in an exceptionally difficult and...

    Get all the shiv upgrades as soon as possible in the game. It makes the clickers much easier to deal with.

    Zero Punctuation: The Last of Us

    Actually Ellie can die and she does get attacked sometimes. Sometimes an enemy will grab her and you have a limited amount of time to help before she gets killed. It's the same deal with all the other friendly AI companions you work with throughout the game. Friendly AI characters do...
