Ok, I bought the Last of Us DLC yesterday on the PS Store, (which has terrible font size and hurt my eyes) but first I needed an hour for the PlayStation to download system updates so I could even enter the PS Store. Then I spend the next hour downloading the DLC, but then the game itself needs to update. So anyway when I finally start the DLC, my PlayStations fan goes into overdrive like it always does. Then I have my Dualshock plugged into the charging cord, but whenever it vibrates the damned controller turns off. I can solve this by unplugging it from the charging cable, but then its battery is almost dead. I can't even get it to charge at all because Sony makes poor quality hardware. This could be easily solved if it accepted batteries. I would either need to run to Gamestop and buy a new controller, or have to restart my controller every time the game made it vibrate. The short amount of gameplay I was able to experience seemed very poor quality. I spent 5 minutes searching the mall and found absolutely nothing besides a few bricks, which you need to distract a clicker that magically spawns in from nowhere. Then their was a bunch of walking and talking with that retarded girl and pretty much no gameplay. So I just decided to watch a walkthrough of it on YouTube, since the game basically is an interactive movie and not a "true" game, so I wouldn't miss much. The best part of these PlayStation interactive movies is the story anyway. So from what I saw of the rest of the DLC. There was a bunch of "Press Triangle to initiate scripted mini scene" and TLOUs average stealth gameplay. The human vs. Infected sandbox possiblilities was a nice touch. However that should have been in the main game since having NPC enemies fight each other isnt anything new to gaming (Halo CE had Chief vs. Flood. vs. Covies vs. Sentinels all at once in 2001). Anyway the story fills in the gap from the College segment to the winter segment (but why was it snowing in the mall if this takes place pretty much right after Joel and Ellie escape the College where there wasn't snow?). Its nice but the scenery is bland and it just feels tacked on so ND could add gunplay to the DLC without breaking canon. The flashbacks sequence has some neat, sometimes corny dialogue. But nothing memorable. Notably Ellie and the retard girl dance to some 70s music (a retarded idea given that noise attracts infected) and then Ellie kisses her. I don't know why, Ellie is probably confused and doesn't know how to express her feelings. So after that the music then attracts infected and eventually retard girl and Ellie get bit. Then they decide to stay alive so they can spend time with each other as long as they can because they are in love and want to "lose their minds together all poetic like" or some shit. Then it ends and fades to black. It doesn't show their last moments together or what happened to retard girl when she turned and Ellie didn't. That's bullshit. Total bullshit. We learned nothing that wasn't alluded to in the main games story. Whether Ellie left Infected Riley or killed her could have developed her character more but nope, fade to black. ND did this alot in the main game also, after Sarah dies, after Sam and Henry die, after Joel collapses, after Ellie kills David. Those are emotional scenes but the real emotion would be seeing how the characters come to terms with those events immediately afterwards. But nope, lets just fade to black and hope no one cares. Then I got a Titanfall beta code and was able to play a real game on a real game console for hours. And it was free too, no $15 for 2 hours of interactive cutscenes. /rant
