I thought all the Uncharted Dlc was multiplayer based.
Hmm, yes. Its not like someone didn't just ask about the Uncharted, since there both Naughty Dog. And based of said track record I would be very surprised if we see any story DLC for The Last of Us.

So, anyone playing multiplayer? It's quite fun actually, but if you fall against a team with headsets, you are screwed, their tatical play is just much superior. Here is hoping for some hoarde mode DLC. I would like an option to fight off infected with my companions.
I still haven't touched MP, haha.

I want The Last of Us 2, where Ellie is already 35 years old and has kids who are also immune.

You didn't miss anything; that's exactly what happened. Joel prevented the chance of a vaccine against the infection being developed in order to save Ellie. A more than acceptable trade, IMO.Liamv2 wrote...

The beginning sequence was just so chaotic, no calm at all and was just threat after threat and to keep running forward and attempt to ignore that gargling screams of the infected, but during the after 20 years scenario, it was peaceful and calm.
I want to see what it is like dealing with this incredibly scary situation when it first started.
Also, I know spores get you infected but what about touching the growths? I looked on the artwork and saw the infected bodies incredibly hairy with bubonic looking skin with ruptures and of course mushrooms growing out, can you imagining your hand forced against it, rupturing the skin along as you try to prevent the clicker eating your face?
How do you wash your hands after coming to contact with one?

I just love how Naughty Dog pulled a real grey character. They're so hard to find in video-games. They always come with hidden pasts, traumatic events, and yes, while it was the case with Joel, it went far deeper than that. They successfully pulled off a hero and a villain, a good and horrible man. Just plain awesome, definitely one of the better characters to come out of gaming in quite some time.

Really? I thought it went really smoothly. I really thought they were gonna rush it, but they took their time, hell, it was 3/4 in before he actually changed, or reached that high point.

I'm hoping for DLC that focuses on Ish, the guy whose notes you find in the sewers/orphanage/suburbs when you are travelling with Henry and Sam. I thought his story was interesting, and it was never really given a proper conclusion.
Also, even though I know it won't happen, I want to see more of Ellie and Joel.
I thought Ish was the guy shooting at as when we came out of the sewers.

Gameplay:
- This is NOT a zombie game. I hate zombie games and I bought it, although very reluctantly, only because of all the praise it's gotten. Boy am I glad I did. This is not your average zombie shooter game.
- Holy moly, those performances were simply astonishing. Being able to see even the smallest facial expressions helped immersion a lot.
- Very good performance by Troy Baker. I knew it was him before I started playing it, and you could hear it was him in the beginning when he was 20 years younger, but I barely noticed that it was him after the epilogue.
- Excellent performance by Ashley Johnson, she really sold me on Ellie and who Ellie was.
- Watching the credits I saw... Nolan North? What?
I went back and listened to him voicing David, I couldn't believe it was him. - Mixing stealth, shooting and melee was done masterfully. It's practically impossible to barge into a room spraying it with bullets.
- Navigating an entire section without killing anyone, just sneaking by, felt tense and very rewarding.

- My biggest gripe was that enemies spotting companions didn't alert them. I thought that was quite jarring at the beginning. I eventually got used to it, but I still think it's probably the worst gameplay aspect of the game. I know that them alerting enemies would suck gameplay-wise, but that could have been done differently somehow.
- It was great that the reveal that she's immune wasn't something that they saved for the end, because a lot of people thought that would be the case anyway. When I heard she is important and not the daughter of some big-wig, her being immune was the first thing that came to my mind.
- I got choked up at two points: when Sarah dies and just after Ellie nearly got killed by David. Both times it involves Joel holding a young girl and calling her baby-girl.

- Henry shooting Sam then himself was one of the toughest scenes in the game...
- I really enjoyed the conversations, especially the jokes from the book.
- The bad guys shouting "shoot the horse" was a nice touch. Intelligent bad guys, who'd a thought it? Of course it makes sense to shoot the big target rather than the small one sitting and ducking on top of it.
- When I played the Hospital chapter, I thought "what the hell man, just because you can't let her go you doom all of humanity? You're the villain here!" Then after a while I thought that the chances of this having any positive impact is small, and perhaps he made the right choice... or is that just me justifying what he's done?
- When Joel fell on this iron spike, I could totally imagine that you'll play the rest of the game as Ellie. I felt nobody was safe from being killed off in in the middle of the story, not Joel, not Ellie.
- Some waist-high boxes and stuff, time for some shooting! Nope, just silence and nothingness.
- There's gonna be a big, final boss with a huge shoot-out! Nope, just running to an elevator.
- Ellie is his daughter and they don't know they're related! Nope, just two strangers.
- His daughter Sarah is gonna get killed by a zombie! Nope, shot by a human.
- A safe haven with Timmy and his wife, surely they gonna die soon! Nope, they live.
- Either Ellie or Joel or both are gonna die at the end! Nope.

I meant the actually transformation point, him trying to pawn her off, her running away, him chasing after her, it was as by the book as you could get imo. The arc itself I didn't really have a problem with.

Fair enough then :-)
I haven't seen too many of them to identify it as a cliche :innocent:

I have an interesting perspective on the matter:
(1) There was no 100% guarantee the vaccine would work. What next?
(2) What if Ellie is indeed the only one immune? Kill her and lost the chance to invent the cure forever? No way.
(3) Protecting Ellie so she can grow up and have her own kids looks like a long, but much more effective way to find a real cure.
Joel is a smart person. I'm sure he kept all of this in mind while making his decision. I believe the decision was only partially selfish.

I'm pretty sure Joel only acted on emotions with maybe #1 in his head

Agreed. There's no way we can expect Joel to be practical or even sensible in that state of mind.

Maybe, maybe not.
...Anyway, it is possible that eventually he saved not just Ellie, but also the only hope to save humanity. Even if his intent was only to save Ellie.

Of course, and he'd probably rationalize his actions after her rescue. But the fact remains that Joel was crying out "baby girl" not "you're our only hope." It's obvious that all he did was out of love for Ellie, a selfish, yet commendable act.
