Riveting. Brutal. Wow.

Question, for folks who played this game. What character do you play as? Does it switch perspectives? Can you play as different characters?

@davemark mainly Joel, but you control Ellie for brief sections. No picking between them though.

@ross Interesting. Thanks, Ross.

@davemark you play as both characters throughout various parts of the story.

@davemark Only tangentially related to your question (and no, not an answer 😛) I’ve been debating over playing the game for years now …. Given what I’ve seen written about the game, it sounds as if it’s got a lot of emotional pull, but it also feels to me (partly based on the TV show but I felt the same way before) that it could be emotionally draining — that you’d get to care about the characters but then be devastated at what they go through …

So I stil keep going back and forth about actually playing ,… I have the original (and possibly the new remake) in my library as part of PlayStation Plus (or whatever they are calling it) but I don’t know if I want to play …

@f @davemark it is very draining. There were plenty of times where I had to take an emotional lap before I could continue.

@f I’ve got the game on my wish list. Will definitely give it a go.

@davemark please play these games. They are SO good. Like, all-consumingly, up until 4am, when I wasn’t playing I was thinking about them good. The first game is amazing, but TLOU2 is an absolute masterpiece. Best gaming experience of my life so far.

@RachYall Part 1 is on my wishlist. The show is incredible. One of the most compelling dramas I’ve ever seen.

@davemark Please lemme know what you think when you do 🙂 I probably won’t get to it this year. I’m slowing down on the gaming and we just got back to playing “Rise of the Tomb Raider” after like 4 or 5 years?

And then “Diablo IV” is coming soon so probably that first …

@davemark @RachYall Thank you. Now I’m even less inclined to play it because I get to emotionally invested in stuff…. I just spent days thinking about the end of “Uncharted 4” and that was a happy ending 🙂
