I don't hate zombies for ideological reasons though and I think a lot of those critiques are better applied to specific works. I just specifically find the idea of a mindless opponent that doesn't use tactics to be extremely boring for any sort of action-adventure

It’s fun in the context of mixing up the gameplay. You’ve got a co-ordinated faction of enemies to take down one minute, and then you’ve got fast-moving suicidal berserker mutants the next. It’s especially fun and engaging when the two meet up together

I'm just saying, I think the real reason for "but we are the walking dead!" is that "we" are always more interesting than the walking dead Which TLOU has baked into the title - it's about "Us" not Them

I was thinking about the idea of a TLoU prequel/midquel that takes place entirely in the very first years after the outbreak and collapse, sort of an origin story for Joel becoming the ruthless killer he is by TLoU 1 It would be called "The First of Them"

It probably wouldn't be good though

I've discussed this with a friend who's also a big fan of the series, and we're of the opinion that you could do a Left Behind style DLC about whatever the fck Tommy was up to for most of Seattle which would have flashbacks to explain what made him and Joel so fcked up

People keep forgetting, in the wake of all the eulogizing for him in 2, that Joel was such a horrible person that Tommy voluntarily cut all ties with him by the time 1 starts despite their blood relationship and everything they've been through

Yeah. When you think about it, there's really no other way it could have ended for Joel. Ellie and the audience may have liked him, but he was an objectively bad person and he was always gonna get what was coming to him, one way or another.

A lot of fans get really mad at Joel and Tommy letting themselves get fucked over by Abby's crew, saying that the Joel we got to meet in TLoU 1 would never have been so trusting But I mean that's the point isn't it It's his own denial of the past that gets him

TLoU 1 Joel would never have fallen for such an obvious trap, would never have let himself get surrounded like that, would never have carelessly let his real name slip Because TLoU 1 Joel was *aware that he was a shitty person who had made countless enemies*

And his constant paranoia and need to treat everyone like a potential enemy and hairtrigger fear driven instincts were badly wearing away at his soul He could barely stand living like that anymore, he and Tess needed to goad each other into sticking with the program constantly

Troy Baker IIRC said he was certain he was gonna nail the audition because he was certain he grasped something about Joel the other dudes who wanted to play him as an action movie badass didn't get Joel at the beginning of 1 is very, very close to giving up

The only thing he has that makes him not want to just lie down and let the spores get him is his relationship with Tess and even that is starting to wear thin She pokes hard at that sore spot when she screams "What do you know about 'us', about me"
