Solid episode, again. Happy they kept that heartbreaking ending. The only thing that didn't click with me in these two episodes was Kathleen. The actress is great we know her, but didn't fit the role. She was far from fear inducing. As hard as they tried to make her character look savage, the actress just spreads lovely vibes instead. Anyways, great chapter.
@tallythwack Well, if the reason you didn't like the episode was because it was too slow for you, or you were really expecting the school scene or a bit of action in the end, I can understand. I liked the episode, but in that sense it is a matter of subjective taste and I understand you.
But if the underlying reason someone didn't like the episode was because of the gay scenes, saying it was too woke and not related to the game, which in fact was just developing Bill's arc and giving him a happier ending, then yes, those are just haters.
@PegasusActual93 can't agree more with your comment. So many people complaining about the lack of action, infected and how vulnerable the 3rd episode made them feel about their manhood. But we will have our dose of action on Friday so everyone will be happy.
The only thing I am worried about is that they will have to rush or cut entire game chapters in the last 4 episodes. Suburbs, University and Bus Depot? All out I think. We will have Left Behind and Firefly lab for sure according to trailers, and I imagine some different shorter version of Tommy's Dam and then Lakeside Resort, which was my favorite chapter.
Great episode, as always, they are doing amazing. The next one is going to be really action packed for the haters that only wanted infected and bullets, and felt vulnerable with last weeks' episode.
@kyleforrester87 not yet, sadly there are only 9 total episodes, so my best guess is...
-Stop reading if you didn't play the game-
5th episode is Kansas City, 6th is Tommy's Dam, 7th and 8th I would guess Lakeside Resort + Left Behind in between. 9th episode is the firefly lab
@kryptozoologist well in today's day and age, great series don't get to 7 seasons sorry. Not the current and all time most successful series, specially HBO's. Only comedies and doctor's soap operas reach that with the exception of GOT nowadays. Specially considering the limited source material.
Mazin already said that he is planning on the second game, maybe making 2 seasons out of it next.
Ellie is 19 in the second game, same age that Bella is today. No need to recast, easy to make her look a little older and accept it.
Yes Pedro Pascal is too popular, but his fate is critical for the second Part, and HBO is already familiar with doing this to a beloved main character in their series adaptations, if not ask Ned Stark.
I prefer series to stay focused to their source material and don't overstay their welcome, because they can start drifting.
@bpomber also as Druckmann said, the movie studio just wanted to make it bigger than the game with big budget, make it more action than drama focused, less intimate and all compressed in 2hours.... So glad they didn't go that resident-evilesque way
Craig Mazing said that Part II is much bigger and could take 2 seasons instead. The game is also much longer than Part I. But... I feel like it is a much shorter story, even suitable for movie. Part I takes place during a whole year + Left Behind, while Part II without the epilogue and prologue takes only 3 days. Most of what happens in between is just action. I love both games equally, but I am surprised that it could take 2 seasons. Well... The more the better right?
@PegasusActual93 well good for you beating it faster than average, I can't remember how long it took to me but according to howlongtobeat the game takes on average 15hours, not counting Left Behind, which is mostly cinematic. They have done an amazing job so far so I trust them, but have only covered 3 out of 17 chapters that the game has (I know that left behind's are much shorter). So that is why I am worried that they will rush certain sections which are more memorable than Bill's for example
@InvaderJim oh I didn't know that the runtimes where published. I just found them and you are right the next one is 80min long. But then the rest are all below 60 min with the last one just lasting ~45min . I would have used the extra time in the Pittsburgh chapter instead of Bill's and just have more episodes during the winter section. Anyways, I have faith in them as they started really great.
One of my favorite JRPGs of all time. So many memories in the Gamecube days. Never cared about the 60/30 fps differences in JRPGs altough this is not exactly a turn-based one. Will probably check it out, but Switch may be the best option in this case due to the portability and not so demanding graphics
At first sight looks like the weakest month in a while for extra, but there is What Remains of Edith Finch, which I have been willing to play for a while. Considering that this is a GOW Ragnarok and Scarlet/Violet month, having a nice short game like that is more than enough for me this time

@GodofCapcom exactly. Great episode but her casting was a miss. Good actress, just not for that role

@kryptozoologist uhhm, yes season 2 will be an adaptation of the second game, sorry for the haters
Re: TV Show Review: The Last Of Us (HBO) Episode 3 - Television At Its Finest
The episode surprised me. Great acting and good way to make it clear that we don't now what's coming in each chapter

Incredible so far! Just worried how they will fit the rest of the game in 7 episodes. I am thinking this:

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS4 Games
1) RDR2
2) TLOU2
3) Bloodborne
4) The Witcher 3
5) Uncharted 4 / GOW
Elden Ring would be there on top fighting with RDR2, but luckily I played it on PS5, so I don't have to make that decision
Re: Best Open World Games on PS5
Elden Ring should be number 1 by far. Only RDR2 and BOTW can compete if we go into other consoles territory.
