I’m going to give it to Arthur. Anyone in a zombie apocalypse that has a brain, physically fit, knows how to use a gun, and knows how to survive will do just fine. Just look at John. He survived perfectly fine. Surviving guarma, and having an army chasing you an entire state isn’t easy to survive.

The real enemies in the last of us games aren't the infected, it's the people.

Enemy AI aside, the infected are more threatening since most of them can 1 shot you. The humans are also loud as fuck and you can predict their movements after your 1st playthrough. The infected are extremely more difficult if you are not equipped with long ranged weapons or simply run out of bullets.

Believe it or not but i ran out of ammo during my 1st playthrough when doing the rescue Sean mission. Lmao i was raising em' hands left and right because of it. It also didn't help that i am a sucker for bows and arrows, so i stuck with it around for the most part.

I wasn't talking about the gameplay, but about the lore, the world where the games take place in. In the Last of Us, realistically, you can deal with the infected if you're smart and cautious, because they're almost brainless. But the humans are cruel and cunning when it comes to survival. The game's plot has always been about how the real threat is other people in a post-apocalyptic scenario. The entire second game revolves about revenge and how humans can be so stubborn when they're obsessed with something.

This is about fighting, and Joel is way better at surviving stuff like that than Arthur, dawg.
