  10. Anyone know anything about cars?

    in Mess Hall

    Posted

    I have a 2008 toyota matrix and this morning while trying to start it the car made a loud CLANK and wont start. Whenever I turn the key it makes a little bit of noise but doesn't really do much. I don't think it's the battery because the lights radio and doors still operate. Any suggestions?

    I agree with his actions, partially because I could sympathize with him at that point. If it had gone otherwise I think he would have had a breakdown and we'd see an ending even more sad than what it was.

    Besides, it sends a strong message in my opinion. Is it truly worth killing a child so that everyone else can live? What makes them worthy of the future that she could give them? They haven't proven that they are any different than the soldier who shot Sarah for nothing. I realised that at the end when I saw the Fireflies for who they are, beneath the surface they aren't much different from the FEDRA Soldiers, they'll do anything to acheive a goal, no matter the cost. They don't care about life in a true sense of what it means to live, they never even asked Ellie if she would want to do it, they asked Marlene, who even though she may know Ellie very well, its not her place to make such a decision.

    In any case, its not like its impossible to survive in a world like that, look at Tommy and his crew, or even Bill. They are all surviving despite the conditions, the former could even be considered to be thriving. It would be difficult, but then life isn't easy to begin with. Eventually things would change, that is a certainty; though for better or worse who knows? Maybe Cordeceyps would burn out once it has killed a sufficient number of people? That's how it worked on insects, it would quell a population of insects that got too large, why would it change its nature when jumping to a human strain? I don't know.

    Cordeceyps isn't the enemy though, its the people. The game illustrated that to us right at the beginning. That's why I believe that Joel made a very brave decision to stop them from killing Ellie just so that they could create a cure. The vaccine wouldn't change who they are, it would only remove the one thing that is keeping their attentions off of eachother. Perhaps it is better to have something to scare people into working togather, to stay close to eachother, and above all care for eachother rather than to remove that. Give them more time to change their nature and reflect on what is worth living for.

    Truly this is an excellent game, and I cannot wait to replay it again for more stuff and to see where Naughty Dog will take this.

    Hmm I guess I hadn't thought about it like that - looking back on it, what you've said makes much more sense - Also continues to make this game better haha

    EDIT

    Jesus the more I think about what you've said Armstrong, the more heart breaking the hospital scene becomes (when you have to run out with Ellie). I guess I was under the mindset of "Yeah, we could sacrifice one for the rest of humanity" but never considered if it were to be my daughter (even though technically she isn't) - especially for Joel seeing as the death of Sarah literally ruined him and how he wouldn't be able to bear it again. You're totally right to say that this game reflects on what's worth living for - especially with the almost paradox of a situation they introduce the play to. Wait. Did....Did I have an emotional reaction to a game? Is that normal?!

    Just finished it. I'm heartbroken, relieved, confused and saddened all at the same time.

    Outstanding game. Everyone should buy this

    My bro has a ps3 and I watched him play this pretty much from beginning to end this weekend, and I have to say I disagree with Joel's actions in the end.

    Good of the many outweighs the good of the few. Now I would probably eat a bullet afterwards, but the surgery was 100% necessary for mankind to survive. Now they get to live a slow death as little by little mankind becomes extinct

    I totally agree,

    I thought that's how the story was going to end - with him agreeing to let her go then eventually killing himself but when he killed the doctors then eventually Marlene, I was literally screaming at my TV "WHY JOEL??? WHY???". I wonder if it's set up like that for a sequel? But the more I think about it the more I want this to be the only game just so the end of the story can be left up to speculation.

    EDIT

    I also thought that if Joel would let Ellie go, that he would come to some sort of closure with his own daughters death, but I guess we won't know that either. He just is a cold hard bastard throughout the whole thing, without changing motives or anything, even through the end of the story
