Well, that's teenage girls for you. Ask anyone who has a sister. I just finished The Last of Us yesterday and I did wonder how long did she have that knife? B@&£h.

Neither have I, but I'd imagine the joke stems from the fact that - it being a post-apocalyptic world - you've gotta "build" weapons with duct tape and broken glass while, judging by luvd's comment, the girl has a perfectly good knife that she doesn't seem to be stabbing people with. :p

Yep. Through out the game your scrounging for sharp things to build shiv's that break. Then later in the game you play as Elle and low and behold, she's got a unbreaking knife. Not that that makes the level easy.

Very beginning she stabbed that military guy in the calf with it.

OT: DAMN YOU ELLEN!! Wait EllIe not ElleN so easy to mix them up.....

Yeah this was one of my major complaints with the game. They should not have said 20 years later.... You mean to tell me in 20 years you could not locate a damn kbar or a combat knife? Hell take a piece of REBAR from any one of the COLLAPSED BUILDINGS and roll part of it in a handle wrap some cloth around the part that looks like the top of a P and sharpen the shit out of the tip to get a stabbing point. You can even pick how long you want the stabbing point to be.

Or if you want to go fancy


Or want to keep the infected further away?


It is not like you have TWENTY FUCKING YEARS to perfect this.....

Yeah, that's why I had more fun playing Ellie than Joel.

The game actually makes you feel a bit more powerful when you play the 14 year old girl vs. the grown man. xD
But what can I say, Ellie is awesome.

:D Invincible Murder Knife!

Eh, I hate to nitpick (actually, I love it to death), but this is one thing that's always bugged me about post-apocalyptic games: everything always stays broken.

I realize it's part of the gameplay to have to scrounge and scavenge for limited resources, but it's not difficult to create new tools and weapons with the crap you have lying around your neighborhood. That there isn't one person making new knives, lights, guns (gunpowder is easier to make than meth), cars, etc, is what I find most unrealistic.

Justin Bieber had a knife all the time?
Now now, Ellen Page has feelings.
Apparently she had her face ripped off by a naughty dog, I think she'd be more concerned with that.
If the responses from the internet are true, she's an entitled rabid feminazi lesbian who wants to destroy all men-folk for enjoying video games without PC protagonists.

...They could be overreacting, but I doubt the internet would overreact to someone being asked a question.

Anyway, if someone ripped my face off, I think I'd seek medical attention.

Another good joke would be

Ellie's transition from baggage into ninja death dealer in the "winter" portion of the game

Heh, I didn't know that, last time I checked she was just very annoying and rumoured to be a lesbian. I'm not up to date with my vitriol.

Just wanted to point out that Ellen Page isn't the voice actor for Ellie. That would be Ashley Johnson.

OT: Durability in games can be so contrived sometimes. Like the fact that melee weapons and shivs break, but your gun never jams or needs to be disasembled and cleaned.

As a note, Ellie does end up helping you stab stuff at times, so it's not like the knife goes completely to waste.

Indeed. Oh how did humanity survive without electricity?
