/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */

Ok so The Last Of Us is probably my favourite game of all time. I think it's something that transcends the medium and that it stands toe to toe with the best movies and tv shows.

It's easy to see why HBO have developed it into one and throughout this video I'm gonna be discussing why the game's ending is something that has stuck with me since it first released all the way back in 2013. It's a game that I've completed multiple times and everytime there's a remaster or remake it's something I pick up day one just so I can go back to it.

Though overall the gameplay is pretty straight forward, what really elevates the Last Of Us is it's character development and story. Over the shoulder third person survival horror games had become a staple of the industry after the release of Resident Evil 4 and though the Last Of Us doesn't really break the mould when it comes to that, the characters go above and beyond to elevate the entire experience.

The ending is no different and what really pushes it is the fact that very few words are spoken between the characters but you can see instantly what's going on beneath the surface. Performance capture in video games is something that's came a long way over the last couple of decades and we've pretty much watched games evolve from 2D sprites to living breathing people who can portay their deepest thoughts in their expressions and body language.

The Last Of Us capitalises on this massively and Naughty Dog arguably helped to pioneer the cinematic experience in video games.

Games have always been criticised for their storytelling but here was a studio that put that above all else and the game excels because of it. Whenever I've talked about the ending of the Last Of Us I've always referred to it as being The Godfather of gaming. Now what I mean by that is that it is very similar to the ending of another of my favourites, The Godfather.

In that we see Michael Corleone descend to new depths and he has his sisters husband killed for betraying the family. His girlfriend Kay goes to him and after Michaels sister barges in and reveals the truth Michael lies about it in order to not destroy the image Kay has of him.
