Today’s game is some more of The Last of Us. I went through the Entirety of Day 1 for Abby today. I wasn’t expecting it to put us in her shoes. As much as i’m still pissed about Joel, i do like getting the different play style and getting to play her as a character. You can tell there’s a character arc being setup there. I loved going through the aquarium too. It’s so pretty to walk through and see all the water and fish. You can tell the put a lot of work into making this look good. Especially with all the Transparent surfaces.
The sea lion was nice to see. They’re adorably cute so anything with them deserves points from me.
Later on the game gave me a shotgun in a pottery store. It was like the game was speaking to me and asked me to Channel my inner Link and destroy all the pots. And those thoughts won, i did it. I ran out of shells midway through and used a Steel Pipe, but it was fun messing around with the physics engine like that.
Maybe it’s because i’m not as high leveled, but Abby’s combat feels far more difficult. I ran out of Ammo in the scenario above and had to resort to bottle stuns and stealth attacks. I did end up making it though, although i had to run away at the end.
The section where our weapons were ripped away was fun too. Maybe this sounds weird but i always enjoy being stripped of strength in a game. The section looks good too. A lot of darkness with just torch light. This kind of old fashioned vibe is a good mixup from the usual “Here’s a city with a ton of trees”.
When you ended your last post with “it feels like I’m close to the end” I couldn’t wait to see how you’d react to the switching sides thing! Seems like you took it better than most!
I’m a sucker for nuance in a antagonist (as long as it’s not trying to redeem someone who can’t really be redeemed), so getting to see Abby’s perspective really is something I like, especially now knowing her motivations
Now that you mention it I am curious what the first record for first sea lion in a 3D game is though. We get a lot of them nearish to where I live, so it was fun seeing them in a game. Can confirm though, absolute good boy.
It’s been a bit difficult with The Last of Us because I feel self obligated to mix things up regularly, but it has been fun, especially showing off my favorite sights and parts in the story. I feel a bit like a tourist seeing a city for the first time lol
Man, I hated playing abby, to me it sucked losing all the upgrades I had with Ellie and I specially hated having to craft shivs like we were back to last of us 1
Ngl, didnt like it even narratively because she is kinda the source of all the suffering in the game. I mean, they saved her life! Even if you have a score to settle, you now owe him one!

I wonder if that’s the first sea lion in a 3D game. Looks like a good boi.

Still going strong! I’m impressed! Keep on posting!

That definitely was the biggest complaint with it. I like it narratively, but it definitely was a steep challenge having too lose all the upgrades
Ngl, didnt like it even narratively because she is kinda the source of all the suffering in the game. I mean, they saved her life! Even if you have a score to settle, you now owe him one!
I can respect that. I was definitely a little peeved off too when she shot him in the knee after all the effort to escape.
