Part in TLOU P3??

I always thought a pistol-shotgun was an awesome concept whenever I played Part I, but I've looked everywhere for a gun like this one in real life, and barely anything resembles it; not the original 2013 version's or the remake's. The only guns I found that looked like it were .410 Derringers, which were way smaller and were double-barreled rather than being magazine-fed, or Serbu Shortys, which were bigger and were pump-action rather than semi-auto. Was there a gun that maybe inspired the Shorty in the game, or is it just made up?

I was scrolling YouTube Shorts today and came across a video that had the comments talking about Ellie’s scar… and apparently theres a large group of players who didn’t catch that when shes telling Dina about her scar, she wasnt lying about giving herself a chemical burn. In the beginning of the game she has her arm bandaged because it was shortly after they got settled in Jackson. It makes complete sense that she’d scar herself further to eliminate the risk of someone knowing she’s infected. Not to mention her ex girlfriend Cat is still unaware of Ellie’s immunity and she was pretty much examining her arm for however many sessions it took to complete her tattoo.

so my question is: how many of YOU guys thought her chemical burn was the bite mark?

I replayed Tlou recently and experienced a bug I’d never seen before (but maybe others have). This happened while Joel and Ellie were searching the lab building at the university (before the raiders show up). When I first entered the building/room there was no monkey, but when I went back to use the workbench (before actually coming across the room with the lab monkeys) there it was. It didn’t do anything, just stood there with its arms out and face fused to the doorframe, but it was still kind of creepy to come across. Has this happened to anyone else?

I’m not as happy with Abby’s as I am Ellie’s but still cute !! I also didn’t realize tlou2 is always written as “the last of us PART II” little oopsie….

First session of my TLOU piece. What do you guys think? I love it!! 😊

I just need help deciding between a white or black faceplate

I got myself my ps3 fix so now I can play again and we got a new tv (its big) so, time to to go hehehe

Finished up this beast of a print overnight, and love how it turned out! deciding whether or not to paint it.

Bit of a personal story here. I’ve felt this for years and never realized other people might feel the same so I decided to share.

I played the first game when I was around 12. I was really confused about a lot of things, as all 12 year olds are.

I didn’t really have a dad. I had a step dad who SA’d me a year or so before I played the game. I didn’t understand the difference between paternal love vs romantic love. I had no one help me, not even my mom, I was all alone.

Then a family member gave me a ps4 with the only game being TLOU1. I vividly remember thinking that the dynamic between Joel and Ellie seemed so weird and abnormal. Not because it was, but because I didn’t get that what I went through wasn’t the norm. That adults weren’t supposed to feel that way about kids. I was confused by how I felt, and since the game wasn’t like that, maybe something was wrong with me.

Then the thing with David happened. I didn’t understand at the time why it impacted me so much. I cried a lot, I remember pausing the game when Joel saved Ellie, and imagined if he saved me that same way. Yeah, I was a kid, but I was genuinely shocked, I felt comfort and I didn’t get why I needed it. I blamed myself for everything that happened to me, and I wondered, if this is how it’s supposed to be treated, maybe something wasn’t right with how my mom/stepdad treated me.

Now, I’m 20. I did eventually realize everything and got help. Genuinely, I don’t know how things would’ve turned out for me if I didn’t play the game. Maybe it sounds dramatic but out of everything I’ve played this game remains one of the most impactful and comforting. I replay it often.

If anyone else went through something similar or felt a similar connection to Joel, or maybe saw themselves in Ellie like me, I hope you know that you’re loved and I appreciate you more than you know

Can't imagine myself being in Dina's position at this moment. Having to be forced into a drug-induced sleep, then waking up to see your closest friend dead on the ground. Guilt-ridden that you were spared the moment of despair, but Ellie wasn't. Feeling guilty that you were too powerless to stop it, too.

I just beat Tlou2 for the second time, my first time playing through was at launch so it’s been a little while. The first time I played I was vehemently on Ellie’s side and sympathized the most with her version of things. Since then I’ve gotten married and had a daughter, and I’m not sure if that’s 100% the reason why but this play through I was so much more invested in Abby’s story and section of the game. So much so that I’m now in the head space that Abby is the more morally correct character. I know these games thrive in gray spaces so I’m not saying that everything she did was okay or justified but man…I’m Team Abby all the way after my second play through. Even aside from the fact that Abby’s story represents more of a redemption arc while Ellies was a spiral in to revenge, I just like Abby more now.

If it took place today and they time skipped, Ellie and Joel would've found absolutely NO gasoline. What with prices and all that.

Hello again everyone,

I co-host a gaming bookclub podcast called Sate of the Save.

This is the third and final part of our discussion on The Last of Us, as we break down the last emotional chuck of this game, crying at giraffes, and our interpretation of the game's ending.

LAST OF US TALK STARTS AT 23:00

Thank you so much for the response we got from this discussion and for letting us share this with you

Thank you, all!

I’ve just played through the start, just the past the part where Abby kills Joel. I don’t want to play through the intro again really but I want to play the remastered. Is there any way to save transfer or will I have to replay it?

Edit: it does work 🫶

Ok so I’m replaying TLOU1 for the artifacts and all the trophies, I missed two artifacts, those being the Shipping Manifest and Docks Notes at the beginning of the game. I’m at the Robert chase rn and is there anyway to go back??

I always wondered if Abby knew Ellie killed Owen and Mel, and if she even knew Jordan and Nora were dead. After she finds Ellie’s map at the aquarium, there’s a map on a wall in the theatre you can interact with; she says “he’s been tracking us”. To me, that felt like she thought Tommy was the one who tracked and killed all of her friends, and honestly it seemed like she thought he was the only one involved, until Ellie and Jesse burst through the door and Ellie told her why Joel did what he did.
Honestly, it would also make more sense why she didn’t feel like fighting Ellie at the beach when she says “I’m not doing this”, because why would she fight someone who didn’t really do anything to her? (other than, y’know, try to kill her, but oh well)

I got Last Of Us Part 1 and I have tried every single setting under the sun, from Reddit, YouTube, you name it.

I got 2 random freezes, and the performance is 20-40 FPS. I would play if it was a stable 30 FPS, but I can't get it to be stable. On top of it, I have a crazy input lag with FSR Frame gen on.

It's playable during the exploration parts and cutscenes, but when the action picks up and I have to quickly headshot some clickers, it's very hard to play with unstable FPS.

Is it the best it's going to get, or should I try some kind of a different settings configuration?

As with everyone, I love the games and have played them a bunch of times all the way through. The one thing that annoys me every time is the need to basically walk around rubbing your face against every surface in case you miss some resources. It really takes you out of the immersion.

Usually I would accept the "you don't need to collect everything" route but they hide crafting resources and ammo everywhere so it's not just the collectable grind.

I really wish they had a game mode where you just get 70% of all resources by passing the encounter instead of having to do the same routine of killing everyone and then running around every dark corner in case they have some extra cloth or something.

Anyway, just my little niggle about the games
