The Last of Us: Left Behind thoughts?

What were your thoughts on it and what was your favorite part? I personally loved every minute of it, and it honestly made me pretty damn sad. I mean I know what happens to Ellie but the way it was presented was nothing short of amazing, I was pleasantly surprised when we went back to Colorado in the beginning as well. The portions with just Riley and Ellie I found puzzlingly fun because I had no idea how enjoyable it would be to just run around and act like a kid...in a video game. The Colorado portion was a welcome addition to the story, I always find it fun to be able to play as Ellie in combat situations. She feels more vulnerable and you act way more carefully. Letting the infected loose on fellow human beings was a nice touch which added a great dimension onto the combat. On survivor those portions were pretty damn hard and I found myself dieing quite a bit. [spoiler]As for the kissing scene, I like the dimensions it adds to Ellie, continually building on an already fantastic character and quite possibly my favorite of all time. That and how shockingly rare it is to have such a relationship between two teenage girls, in all my time in playing video games I have never seen a story quite like it. You can think whatever you want be it teenagers finding out who they are, maybe she is a lesbian, maybe she is bi, who cares? Thats the beauty of it, it is two teenage girls finding out who they are and growing up in a time me and you could never begin to understand.[/spoiler]

  • ^ My reaction to the DLC. I absolutely loved it, I understand that it was Naughty Dog's first story DLC and i think they pulled it off beautifully. Some interesting puzzle pieces with a top-notch storyline, and the writing for both Ellie and Riley was fan-fcking-tastic. Genuinely poignant at times, and I loved the bit where Ellie reads out the puns. Also, I find it hilarious that with everything that happens in TLOU, the hardest thing to believe for some people is Ellie's preference for girls... And the people who claim that the kiss was "platonic", yeah right - please tell me how often you kiss your platonic best friends (of the same gender) on the lips that way. The guy who animated the scene outright said that Ellie is gay. Having queer female protagonists and queer female POCs in video games is a pretty huge step up, seeing people try to chalk it down and justify it as something other than what it is is both hilarious and depressing.
