What I loved in The Last of Us games were how realistic they were. I know some of you might say that the Zombie concept is getting old, but you haven't really been getting the real thing. As some of you PlayStation nerds know, The Last of Us had a story that was both an adventurous ride and a heart-wrenching path.
Beside the great AI and mechanics, the game gave you guilt when fighting an enemy. Some would plead for mercy, some would try to flee. That made me and most players hesitant to even finish them off. I really miss that in a Zombie Apocalypse game. Now they make you hate the enemy and have you kill anyone without feeling sorry for them.

Dying Light is a good example. The game made you hate Rais and his goons, but the stories that could been explored about the goons would been better either told by word or by note. I mean there has to be some heart in some of them, right? Well, I wanted to find notes in Rais' palace from his goons saying they only joined the gang to provide food for their family or they wanted to have protection from the outbreak, things like that.
In The Last of Us, there were notes that explained why those jerks of raiders didn't really want to kill everyone, they just wanted to keep the military from coming into the city. There were notes that told you what happened to the corpse holding. There were even notes on what the hell was a ration card was! I will be comparing The Last of Us with a lot of things, because that game was such a perfect game with the right concept.
Although, most people may say that the game was a bit too much in one place, but if you ever were in a tragedy, things seem to get worse and worse by the minute it started. All I can say is that the game treads the realistic path that games tend to stray away from.

I know there are a lot of survival games that have some zombies in it, but I would like to see some take on the legacy of The Last of Us. I want to see a game that treads on reality of zombies to another game with a different story and more compelling characters like Ellie and Joel.
I would even like to see some realistic mechanics in games like DayZ or H1Z1 where there are friendlies and there are enemies. Kind of like a faction system, so no one can start killing any random player that cross the god damn road!

Anyways, there is a lot that the game developers can do for the game, but as many know, the players and gamers are tired of the zombie concept. Well, I hope something comes out of the idea. And 'til next time...
Play More Games!
