Alhazred posted:The Last of Us has almost an endless little things and almost all of them includes Ellie. So far my favorite things about her is how she tries to whistle, how she hums her own little dramatic theme music as she walks across the wasteland and the moment when she's honest to god delighted about seeing real fireflies before remembering she's supposed to be in a grim and gritty game. I've just played through the sequence where, if you stand around too long in certain spots, she will get bored and pull out a joke book. Hearing Joel groan at her terrible puns is a lovely bit of characterisation.

Mokinokaro posted:It really is the details that make the game. Like the times you encounter an old coffee shop or machine and Joel laments that they don't have coffee anymore. or how one of Ellie's jokes is about sushi and she admits that she doesn't get it, of course she doesn't, she was born six years after a zombie apocalypse, she's never even heard of sushi. The detail and depth of the world really sells it as a real place. it would have been far too easy to make a generic zombie game, but the care and attention to characters and environment make it much more satisfying than just "go here, shoot these people".
