I totally know what you mean ._. I regularly read gaming blogs and checks scores on games to see if the popular ones are any good before playing myself. Last of Us was really different.
I don't get emotional over games (Walking Dead (game) ending is an exception, because I cried like a hurricane victim) so LoU didn't do it for me. Yes, your daughter gets in trouble (avoiding spoilers here), big woop, every game character has some sort of tragedy in the exposition stage (again, there are exceptions).
Then as the story progressed, at first the grizzled short-brown-haired guy hates everything, including the badass-but-totally-likeable plush toy following him, but through the course of the game begins to like the thing. Been there, done that.
Finally, the ending. Completely illogical, which either means that the guy lost his marbles, is stupid, or the writers just wanted to squeeze out more feels. Whichever way, meh.
Also, I never got why everyone praised LoU's gameplay o_O one hit kill zombies, cover-based shooting, forced stealth elements, immersion-breaking follower and enemy AI. Seriously, I know Ashley was absolutely a pain in the ass (Resident Evil 4), but the whole point of both games was protecting a girl, so why was one invincible? You could even send Ashley to hide, can't Ellie? /end rant
I heard good critics of this game too. never played it tho. should I try to get it? consider I'm working full time and have a GF for the weekends lol...
