How we killed all of the enemies we killed in The Last of Us
"The pipe came with us. The scissors didn't."
We knew that The Last of Us was going to be violent, but it's not until we went hands-on that we realized how creatively violent it would be. We played a level set in the small town of Lincoln, running into a variety of plantzombies and killing them in as ruthless a manner as possible. Here's how.
The first enemy we saw blew up via a explosives set by Bill, the paranoid handyman we were looking for. The next one we took care of ourselves with a bow, sending an arrow sailing through the sky, right into its head. We continued on, moving a plank over a gap between buildings to pass. Platforming isn't as climby as it was in Uncharted, so we needed to actively make our own path to get from point A to point Z. The next zombie caught us off guard, leaping into our path and grabbing us. We pushed him off by pounding square, then bashed him with a pipe that with scissors taped to it. The pipe came with us. The scissors didn't.
Then we smacked a guy with a brick, then another guy with our pipe, then we got strung upside down (damn you, Bill's traps!) and shot a bunch of enemies in the head. The final one was smashed with a baseball bat we found, but it took a few hard, loud, brutal swings to finish him off. We still don't know how The Last of Us will turn out, but we do know one thing: it's going to be bloody. Very, very bloody.
