Watch Elderly People Devastated By The Last Of Us
If you haven’t played The Last of Us yet, know that there are spoilers for the game’s opening scene here. If you’ve played it though, you can watch some elders react to our 2013 Game of the Year’s first moments.
In the video below, a number of elders try their hand at Naughty Dog’s most recent title. What’s interesting is how so few of them know how to handle a game with exposition.
The payoff is in the second half of the video as the infected start to take over the city streets. For those that have played it, you were probably affected by what happens to Joel and Sarah at the conclusion of the prologue.
These players aren’t as conditioned to interactive drama, and share some astute observations after they put the controllers down. For more, you can check out other React videos, including the same elders playing Five Nights at Freddy’s and Grand Theft Auto V and teens playing Mega Man.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
