Just so it`s out there: Noelle is currently working in quality assurance for The Last Of Us 2, and this is awesome!

The best part is her passion and emotion was being spread over the whole video. Thanks girlie, you did great !!!

[Ps-phwar]

That Last of Us, for me, was a turning point in gaming. It's the storytelling benchmark I hold all games up against.

Some game development company needs to give this fabulous young woman a job. I want to play the games she writes.

[barrington]

I want to take that class. Persona 3 was that emotional story driven game for me. I want to make sure my children have that opportunity as soon as they are born. Video games are truly special. You just have to find that one that speaks to you.

I love her enthusiasm, and I would love it is she's playing a part in the gaming community!

I can't explain by relationship to The Last of Us in words, but she did a petty good job. I agreed with almost everything she said, and The Last of Us too helped me decide my career path. I am now studying video games design at university and spend every waking minute of my day writing stories.

“a video game about zombies changed my life”






i can relate :’)

[eemage]

You are right girl. Video games are the future of real entertainment.

[zaara]

I love the last of us so much. This game and Uncharted are probably my both favourite franchises in the history of the world. I love the fact she made a presentation about my favourite game. :DDD

[AbdullahKhan-pgdf]

This game deserves its game of the decade award. FLAWLESS

[ihjj]

So so proud! This is fantastic and such truth!

[artison]

She did a great talk and i totally agree with her that gaming could be the future of storytelling. But I'm just saying, game storytelling isnt gonna go ANYWHERE if developers keep dropping single player campaigns and appeasing massive multiplayer palets. Keep sticking with titles like Fortnite and League of Legends and u wont have any storytelling.

[leeroyjenkins]

SPOILER WARNING!!! Ok now that thats out of the way this was awesome!

[cattooooooo_]

I immediately noticed the shirt and when she said that it's a zombie game it came clear xD
I'm waiting for the second season
although these years games are just multiplaying there is no story, but this year is the bomb, like alot of games that has stories xD

[finnianreilly]

A great talk I really enjoyed. I would love to know what Noelle thinks of Metro Exodus. Personally I thought ME had some moments that were on a par with The Last Of Us.

[rezanurm]

That was how i feel when i played Classic RPG in PS 1 or PS 2

[SSchithFoo]

I watched PewDiePie play The Last Of Us and I almost cried too when he did the same in the final seen.
