Prepare for constant tears when you play The Walking Dead.

[rimjobflashmob]

Oh yeah I'm aware. I doubt I'll be prepared for the extent of the sadness though.

[Geoff]

You have no idea. I dont think Ive ever gotten so emotionally attached to a game in my life.

Speaking of sad games, I finally started playing The Last of Us today. Been super busy so I wasn't able to play for more than an hour, but this game has already become one of my favorites. Everything about it is just so perfect. Can't wait to get further into it.

Another game I desperately want to play. Naughty Dog has always been my favorite developer.

I am really looking forward to playing that one. Currently playing Bioshock Infinite. But as soon as I finish it, I'll be trading it in for Last of Us.

Lemme know what you think when you finish it. I always love hearing how people interpret the ending.

No I'm even more excited to finish it. I always love an ending that is "open to interpretation."

[Horned Gramma]

The end of The Last of Us is one of the greatest endings of anything I've ever seen in any medium.

Braid was cool, but damn if the controls weren't annoying as shit.

Also: Candy Crush Saga is the bane of my existence.

Honestly, I felt like the ending was a little anticlimactic. But I don't see how it could have ended any differently. It was kind of a mind fuck, but not really ambiguous enough for my taste. However, the brief bit after the credits was just ambiguous enough. All in all, it was an awesome game, though.

I don't even want to hear about it. I'm on level 350 and in no way am I proud of that fact.

[Geoff]

Just finished The Last Of Us. God damn what an adventure that was. I'm not sure if I want Naughty Dog to make a sequel so I can continue to experience more of the story, or if it should just be left alone due to how perfect it is. Either way, it's the most well made game I've ever played. The only small gripe I had with it was that when you were sneaking around the Clickers they attacked you just by making the tiniest of noise, but your companions could be running and pushing things around right in front of their faces and they won't do anything. Not a big deal, but it was just the only thing keeping it from absolute perfection. Not that big of a deal though.

Now I'm off to play the Uncharted trilogy and Demon's Souls.

[Professor Pancakes]

Finally about to tear into Last of Us. It's a good thing I don't work tomorrow because I have a feeling I'm not going to see daylight for about the next 24 hours.

[emptyfox]

I picked it up today as well. Only played a couple hours but it was good. I have a feeling it hasn't even started yet though.

[rimjobflashmob]

Finished The Walking Dead.

I'm a mess. Good grief.

Told ya.

Season 2 is about to come out. They just released an episode to bridge the two seasons together about two weeks ago. It was kinda short, but it's getting me really excited about the new one.

[rüstü]

I re-rented The Walking Dead from Gamefly just so I could play the 400 days DLC. It was good, but indeed short. I'm very excited for season two. They have announced that Clementine will definitely be a big part of it, and we also see a lot of Kenny and what happens to him. This makes me happy.

Walking Dead video game spoiler below

SPOILER: Click to show

Oh yeah, I totally forgot that happened in my playthrough as well! Although after just youtubing the scene where he jumps in that hole and gets swarmed by zombies, it never actually shows him die. One of the responses you can choose at the time is even "he could've made it out". They could totally write him escaping from that mess and making his way back to Clem sometime in Season 2.

Thanks for the tip Stormy!

[Geoff]

Just started playing Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and its absolutely glorious. It's pretty much an interactive Miyazaki film (animated by the same studio) with classic Final Fantasy elements. Been a long time since I've enjoyed an RPG as much as this.

GTAV officially confirmed for game of the year. Multiplayer looks incredible.
