That was 15 hours of dark, grim depressing shit constantly being thrown at you, and it did very well. In the first 10 minutes of it you get an insane gut punch that sets the tone of 'this is not a happy game', and it very rarely lets up from there. I think what's different is that tonally, you had a bit of a break here and there with pieces of hope. You have Ellie who is more of an innocent, brash little girl to separate from the absolute grim dark nature of the world around them. You have a man learning to love and care for someone again. In the first 2 hours of this game you get sunshine adventures, then what happens at the 2 hour mark is just setting up for angry nihilism devoid of hope for the rest of the game. I'll be shocked if they give you any moments of levity in the first game, like just a break to show humanity with a few of the characters you had met on your travels. It's been stated this is a game about revenge. And the revenge aspect runs so deep, without any nuance at all to it, not even giving the opportunity for any nuance to it, and it just dumps it all out in front of you and leaves little room for anything else. I want to explain it more, but doing so gives away a spoiler they're trying to hide. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:940616940] in The Last o...
