I love Uncharted 2 & 4 and TLOU.

TLOU 2 is probably the most divisive game (in my own head) I've ever played. One one hand its sense of place is astonishing. I really felt like I was in post zombie apocalypse Seattle. The graphics team and level designers are on a whole other level. On the other hand its nihilistic revenge story was too 2000 and late for me. I really really wish I had liked it more. I generally love fucked up sad shit but the characters just couldn't draw me in. I've even read about the creators intentions and how he watched a hanging as a young child and wanted to take revenge. That is awesome!

The epilogue had some amazing gameplay but by that point I just couldn't understand Ellie's actions anymore.

Anyways, this guy is smarter than me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB20A8CitRU and sums up how I feel. Wish I had his job.

With the show coming out im just curious if rheyll stick with the fairly dark ending? I know being dark is a badge of honor theses days, but then you get a show on with too many owners/notes and they chicken out.

Also do we know if they expect to encompass the whole first game in one season? And plans for part 2 it goes well, or is this a mini series.

If they try and do one game per season, they are gonna run out of content to draw from quickly. They'll also have to pull a Game of Thrones and kill off Joel in pretty much the first episode of season 2. Only way that would work out is if it is planned to be a miniseries from the beginning.

They should def keep the dark ending(s). That is one of the core things about these games that makes them so atmospheric. Losing that changes the whole feel of it (although that hasn't stopped TV studios in the past).

I hope that they do not try to cram all of TLOU into one season. It'll be interesting to see. I wonder what Pedro Pascal's terms are considering The Mandalorian season 4 is in development.


Also, they have to keep it dark. That's what makes the game so enjoyable. I think HBO is the right network to stay true to the original vision.

He isn't in the suit 90% of the time, I don't think it's a major time sink for him
