Naturally during the game the inevitable comparisons to The Walking Dead came up, and tended to agree the explanation of having the “zombies” be the result of a Cordyceps fungal mutation seem more plausible than corpses simply coming back to life, though both do require a generous amount of suspension of disbelief. As we progress forward in the game and see Joel as a grizzled angry old man we are soon introduced to Ellie, a fourteen-year-old girl who is exceptionally gifted in irritating Joel, which causes Wanda to draw more comparisons between the similarities between the bearded protagonist and myself.Īs we progress through the game we both enjoy the story and character development, her experiencing it for the first time and me thinking fondly on the first time I played through it back in 2014. As I discussed this as a possible outcome for our future children we plan to never have she agreed with it being highly plausible. Wanda would have abandoned me long ago to raise the little one on my own which I would somehow lead to being gunned down by a special forces unit during some apocalyptic scenario.
In the opening sequence of The Last of Us we immediately identified with the family scenario as exactly how things would be if we had children. Wanda and I enjoyed watching The Walking Dead together, despite the show’s inconsistent and diminishing quality, deviation from the graphic novel and their tendency to milk plotlines long after the well has dried up, so The Last of Us seemed like something we can enjoy the story together. Having accepted the fact that my original PlayStation 3 copy will never return from the person I lent it to not long after beating it, I purchased The Last of Us Remastered when it was on sale for dirt cheap because I don’t think I could fully appreciate a game that operates at the height of the PlayStation 3’s processing power without the slight upgrade that came with games in the early part of the PlayStation 4’s existence. Nostalgia might seem like too strong of a word for a game that I played just a couple years ago, but The Last of Us was a surprisingly good game. Beware, some of these will include spoilers.ĭespite having a ridiculously large backlog of games I want to play and there being a bunch of amazing looking new games on the horizon, sometimes you just gotta scratch that nostalgia itch. So, if you’re looking towards playing something with your significant other or looking into playing something new for yourself, let us regale you with our co-op adventures. Below will be a set of casual reviews, opinions and general stories about us playing games together. I play games and she tends to play with her phone next to me on the couch, but she has been supportive of my endeavors with this site and is always willing to fix the numerous grammatical and spelling mistakes in my articles.
I play a lot of games and my girlfriend, Wanda, does not.
