I'm not entirely sure I get but I found it funny anyway.
Also I think this might be mis-filed (at time of typing filed under conferences)

 

[King Kazma]

Super Ultra Violence? Maybe add a mega to it. We need to ramp it up somehow.

 

[DTWolfwood]

Thats exactly what we want. They nailed it.

PC as vehicle for player = punchline?

It's true, I like to escape and put myself into game worlds to get away from the boring monotony of my daily life. Sue me.

Edit: Oh, 3rd panel exists. That probably changes the punchline. Pity I haven't seen Citizen Cane, otherwise I'd probably get it.

 

[Piorn]

Too bad I never actually watched Citizen Kane.

 

[hazabaza1]

Oh wow.
I was only seeing up to the second frame, I thought that was supposed to be the joke. I felt dumb for not getting it but now I can feel smart again.

Also three captchas in a row seriously?

 

[Vivi22]

HAH! THat was awesome

And for those who are getting the same error as I am heres the punchline:

Love the cardboard cut out in the last frame, thats fucking perfect.

Thank you. I didn't even notice the third panel because it was completely obscured by ads and links on the right side of the page. I honestly thought that it was just two panels and I really wasn't seeing what was supposed to be funny here.

So all we want is ultra violence? Is that the joke? Also what's with the Invisible Man?

He's a suit (read:
Slang for a businessman or any authority figure that wears a suit, e.g. manager, boss, supervisor.) And the actual punchline is in the third panel that's obscured by links and such.

Well, knowing usual trends in gaming industry that comic is closer to the truth than one might think.

 

[freaper]

Oh right... I thought it was a jab at the fact that players want to mirror themselves into the game-world, but since they have bland, banal and uninspiring personalities the games will suck either way. The original punchline is better.. [small]and not as depressing[/small]

 

[Something Amyss]

Grey a LOT of people aren't going to get this one. Because we can't see the punchline!

I thought the joke was quite transparent.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Actually The Last of Us reminds me more of No Country for Old Men or True Grit.

It's about the gaming world's obsession with searching for the Citizen Kane equivalent of gaming, so as to finally be deemed worthy by the rest of society.

At least, that's what I got from it.

Really? Was Citizen Kane really that good? I don't know I've never seen it.

Fantastic, Grey and Cory.

Critical Miss is clearly the Citizen Kane of videogame webcomics.

I've never seen it myself, but at the time Citizen Kane was a pretty revolutionary film that greatly innovated cinematography and story structure. And it's still just kind of a darling of the industry.

Most modern audiences dont find it that good because we have advanced beyond what made it so revolutionary. Though it is a solid story.

But for its time it was amazing, the reasons for which I would have to go into an essay to answer, which...I am really not up for at this time of night.

But I still have to question why it's considered that benchmark that we need to meet. Putting aside the other question of why we feel the need to keep up with the film industry instead of forging our own identity.

But I thought The Big Lebowski was the Citizen Kane of movies already!

 

[impocalyptic]

So close yet so far. They'll get it eventually (the butts of the joke, not grey and Cory. Grey and Cory are awesome.) Although I have to admit playing as Charles Foster Kane in a Bioshock setting would be awesome.
