I’m so glad The Last of Us exists to show people that not all video game adaptations have to be this bad.
Fallout is proof you can make a video game show good and still be true to the original game. Halo was a completely different story they tried to throw the Halo brand on and didn’t give two shits about the game. Bungie should have sued them for slander…. or whoever owns the brand now.
The Last of Us is supremely mid. It’s not bad, it’s not great it’s just ok.
It‘s a very solid adaptation. Sure, it will always sit in the shadow of the game because that’s a masterpiece but if you haven’t played the game yet watched the show, you’re getting a well produced and complete package that isn’t offensive to the source material. Because that’s what happens if you let the writer/director of the source material actually guide you in creating the show.
Fallout wasn’t too bad imo. A bit shit in places but they kept close to the game which certainly peases the gamers.
