iantjambo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 One of the things I like about the show, is that it gives a lot more background to the Cordyceps virus than the game does. I’m really liking Bella Ramsay in her role. She’s got Ellie’s mannerisms down to a tee. Spoiler By the way, Clickers are just as terrifying in the show as they are in the game.

Lovecraft Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Watched it last night. Cracking stuff. Some of it is shot one for one with the game. Anyone not played the games is in for a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas-voss Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I don't really like the change think it's a lot more claustrophobic horror feeling in the game but I can fully understand why the done it and it's not worth losing your shit over like some folk online seem to be about it. Show is still looking great though and I love the little intro back story they are giving at the start of each episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’m not blown away. Probably because the story isn’t surprising to me at all. The feel of the game is spot on, the environments are immediately familiar. It’s decent so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there isn’t any tension at all. I expected a bit more gore too I’ll be honest. The game is pretty violent and visceral and this hasn’t really went there yet.

I think the game players probably need to step back a little bit with their expectations - we all know what's going to happen, how and when. My main takeaway is how true to the game it is, that's enough for me. Non-game players appear to be absolutely loving it, which I think says it all.

toonland Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Never played the games or even seen a trailer for the games.

iantjambo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) A good episode, that covers Bill and Frank’s backstory. Not a great deal of action though. Players of the game should prepare themselves for a big difference. Spoiler It is a bit disappointing that Bill and Ellie never meet though. I was looking forward to their interaction.
