Reminds a bit of silent hill music

So many people say that, I hear it too.

I love that song. It takes me right back to the moment I finished the game. The ending was absolutely brilliant. It was so subtle, yet it captured all of the important themes that were instilled in us from the beginning of the game. Such a visceral experience, I don't even know if I can call it a game. I think that the difficulty of the game is what made the ending so gratifying. It wasn't an extremely difficult game, but it was authentic; you felt the hardships these people were going through as you played. The encounter with David was just as frightening as any clicker or bloater, if not moreso.

David's warm welcoming demeanor to his transformation into pure menace was stunning.

Nolan North played David, didn't even sound like himself.

Troy Baker is the new Nolan North lol, he seems to be in every game I've been playing recently.

I got to thinking the other night about different actors who might be good in a film, if they ever made it (not that I think a film is necessary in the least, just a sort of "what if"), and I think that Ray McKinnon would be great as David. He was Reverend Smith in the first two seasons of Deadwood, and Lincoln Potter on SOA.

Please no films. Keep it a game and don't destroy the beauty that it is. No video game has ever made a good and true transition to film ever.

yeah I agree, games can do things movies cannot. They are more than 2 hours they have time to develop the characters and make you care for the predicaments they get in.

That's the thing. As much as I want this game to be sacred, I think that adapting games like this or Red Dead, and seriously adapting them, with the same kind of talent behind them as any Oscar winning film, could actually help the medium. In a perfect world, they'd look to games like this, instead of Doom and Resident Evil, for material to adapt. I wish we lived in a world where people would see a movie like this or Red Dead, and say "Wow. THAT was a video game?"

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

That's the sad state of Hollywood. They don't realize that gaming is on par with truly riveting film. The material is already there, you just need a brilliant director behind it and not Uwe Boll.

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

Exactly, but, since that's unlikely to happen, I agree wholeheartedly with you; this needs to stay a game. Maybe, some day, though, they'll have the same revelation they had with comic book movies.

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

I believe if a truly great director like Aronofsky who typical does tragic stories was attached to The Last of Us it would steal Oscars.

I beat Normal mode last night after gathering up all the artifacts. The game can be beaten around 10 hours if you have it on a lower difficulty and you know what you're doing. My first playthrough was around 16. It's still a reasonably long game no matter how you slice it.

Do you have the strategy guide? I might buy it, it'll help me find them faster.

I used a Gamefaqs guide I printed out, save your monies.

Nice! I'll do that instead. I'll just pickup the art book then.
