I'm optimistic now. (Gaming)

All of this isn't to say that TLoU couldn't be made into a good movie, but I've never had a movie affect me the way TLoU did.

I can't say you're wrong, but that's just not true for me.

I feel like Naughty Dog really leveraged the player's active role in the story to create an experience only possible with a game.

And I don't disagree that Naughty Dog leveraged player activity in a really effective, and great, manner. Just for me, personally, that story can be told just as effectively in a very well executed movie. I think part of that is I just didn't react as strongly to TLoU as it seems that many people did. Honestly, I think the loss of Joel's daughter in the opening hit me as hard as anything in the rest of the game, and that didn't have anything to do with the actual gameplay.
