Re: TV Show Review: The Last Of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 6 - Robbing the Story of Its Genius

My biggest issues with Part 2 were always in the 2nd half of the game, so I'm a bit surprised they've managed to seemingly disappoint so many already

I think the writing and direction of the show has been off since the start tbh. It's felt to me that it's lacking in depth. The show would be at its best when it expands on elements from the game, but they've mostly just shot through key points and ended up with a bunch of random characters that no one cares about

I'd have thought this was common knowledge tbh. We know most of the team worked on RDR2 as well as GTA Online for a lot of the time gap.

At this point it doesn't really matter the reasons for the long wait between GTA games, but it's still disappointing that the gap between Rockstar games is getting so wide

I thought this was a great episode. I've been critical of the series so far but this one really expanded on the game's plot in all the right ways

That said, I also didn't really have a problem with the story in the game up until the half way point onwards.. so I'm still expecting this show to fall off for me but this might not be until season 3 from the looks of it

For now, I'm excited to see what's next

I think that Rolling Stone snippet sounds exactly what a lot of people wanted more of in the game

I'll be watching but don't have too high hopes for this given I thought the first season was pretty weak overall (the game itself often had far better character development and storytelling moments than a whole TV series!). Not to mention Part 2 being a weaker and less grounded story as a whole as well imo

After finally getting the platinum last week, I managed to finish off the last few trophies in the Returnal Ascension mode last night

Now I'm still working my way through the last few relics in Crash 2, and I'm also tempted to play through Croc as well with the new remaster
