It's regrettable that Neil Druckman has turned out to be such a shithead post success of TLOU1. Reminds me of a much more aggressive and douchie version of Rian Johnson.

Had 3 young kids at home when it came out and just didn't have the time to put into it. Would like to sit back down and play it; wish it was cross platform.

My biggest gripe is that it wasn't cross platform. :cuss:

Since we're talking about the game a bit in here, how did you guys like the second game?

I think we can all agree the first game was a masterpiece. But to be truthful, I didn't really like the second one all that much. (No spoilers please)

I never played it, but after getting spoiled on it, I never will. Like I said, Druckman happily took a shit on all the fans with that one.

First episode is pretty damn good.

Hell of an episode visually. Seems like it followed the game to a T. Now we gotta wait another week.

Hell yeah!!!!

It was good. I felt they hinted towards the infection a little too much with that intro scene, would’ve been better to keep it vague instead of having a panel from decades ago discuss the possibility of fungi controlling people. They padded a bit but it was fine, nice to see that backstory, and they ended it on the place where I figured they’d end it on as that’s the first major revelation of the game. Loved the intro even though it felt Game of Thrones but the fact that they did the same guitar track, ****ing A plus. Looks like they’ll give more backstory to Bill and his partner, but will follow the DLC for Ellie’s backstory. Super hyped.

This is going to be amazing. I was nervous, excited, and it's everything I've hoped it would be already. Wow...I can't wait for Sunday.
Perfect end to the first episode...and yeah I teared up.

It's really difficult to look at the girl depicting Ellie without wondering if he she's a trisomy 21 victim because she's that ugly.

10/10, hell of a start for this series.

Eh, I liked it.

From having watched this Planet Earth video, seemed clear it was going to be cordiceps.

Luckily, most people aren't so shallow that they can't get past her appearance to see how awesome of a job she did so far, and she also did a great job sounding very much like Ashley Johnson who voiced Ellie in the games. I was impressed by her. Pascal was good as Joel too, even if he doesn't really look like him.

Me either but Chernobyl was top shelf. Top 10 TV series of all time. Quality everywhere in that show. Pairing this quality and experience with the originator of the game sounds like a great opportunity to knock this out of the park.
