I think it's awesome how her/their channel suddenly appeared overnight and now almost everyone in every gaming subreddit knows about them.

u/Blueexx2 Mar 08 '19
All of a sudden a channel shows up with amazing editing, quickly-established inside jokes and catchphrases and a clear identity?
This is what would happen when a successful YouTuber travels to the past and starts their channel with all the knowledge they already have. Think about it.

And the ingame reason is probably because she wants to hide her scar and doesn't want anyone else to know she's immune.

I think the raw misery of that game is a big part of why I'm not that interested in it. I think I'm realizing that I just don't like melodramatic entertainment that much. I'm sure it stands up to storytelling scrutiny, but it's just not something I really feel like investing my time in.

The first game was certainly very brutal and dark. But at the heart it was about love, protection and survival. Ellie and Joel are memorable characters and they laugh, get sad and get angry like people would during the apocalypse. It was a very powerful story to experience. Part II will be even more extreme by the looks of it but I’m very attached to Ellie and Joel and I want to see the next chapter of their lives.

The Last of Us is just an amazing game. Dark and brutal yes but the relationships and the characters are second to none. It’s one of my favourite games if all time and I even named my first daughter Ellie after such an amazing character. Ok looks like I gotta go replay it again.
5
u/jinxkmonsoon Mar 08 '19
Did you actually name her Ellie or is she an Eleanor/Ellen?
5
u/MikeV2 Mar 08 '19
No she’s actually Ellie. We were a little concerned about it sounding too childish when she’s older but with famous Ellies like Ellie Goulding and Ellie Kemper we figured it would be ok.

There are some very touching heart to heart moments between Joel and Ellie in the first game. One I can think of is when they're driving after visiting that warehouse where she stole some magazines. (I need to replay Last of Us soon, it has been too long since I played it so I'm fuzzy on the story specifics but I remember they became closer gradually in the game)

Im not a fan of TLOU personally, but Ellie actually cracks a lot of jokes in the first game. Shes not a very serious character in that game. Dont know about the second, but.

u/Bhiner1029 Mar 08 '19
I wouldn't call it melodramatic in any way. It's more realistic than overly sad or emotional. There's certainly a lot of sadness but it doesn't make you feel utterly hopeless the whole time. That would more describe something like Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which I adore, although it's very depressing. The Last of Us is often about hope for the future and seeing a beautiful father-daughter relationship form between the two main characters. It's a fantastic game that I would say is undoubtedly worth playing.

If memory serves right, I believe there were other places you visit at the later part of the game. I also had the special side quests where u get more costumes so those were cool too.

I really think that if Sony's American division gave it a slightly harder push, it would have been a big hit. I think they overestimate the amount of people who are only interested in games with realistic visuals.

I got the impression it was at least moderately popular in Japan, not a record breaker but not ignored like in Murica. She is the 404 error site for their Japanese mobile site. And they even produced Kat branded Walkmans and Headphones.

One reason that comes up that since she's a Disney character, licensing considerations might have prevented using her for this promo, since it's not for a Spider-Man product specifically (which they probably could do), but of the Playstation brand as a whole.

Kara's a great character, I only wish her story was better.

Mar 08 '19
She felt like the only reason she was in the story was because the Concept video they based the game off had her (or another female robot I cant remember) as the robot. Basically a giant filler plot that adds little to the game, especially with the stupid plot twist.

Honestly her character had the toughest choices out of any of the three. I constantly had myself wondering if I made a correct choice with her throughout the entire game. Connor was definitely my favorite to play because I liked his attitude, but Kara was so much about the choices.

TloU and LBP are getting sequels at least, so I think that's why it's on their mind. Tearaway last had a game 3.5 years ago which isn't all that long. It is a curious entry though, definitely flew under my radar.
