“Our goal is to create an experience that elicits strong emotions from players.” I like that. You guys like to make us cr*p in our pants! and I like that.

feeling jelly of Warren Heise hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, never covered more than 120 mile or so in one trek

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty intense adventure (putting it mildly... )

I'd love to tackle the Pacific Coast, but on a bicycle..

Haven't read the article, but this reminds me terribly of Bioware. Now I really want to see what's in story mode.

So does that mean that Story Mode will only allow the male character? I highly prefer the female character as her voice is more pleasant. Plus I'm female so.... I'm not crazy about playing male characters.

Astrid's story is coming out soon after the initial release. Im a male and I find it a bit refreshing to play as another gender The winter chapter in The Last of Us where you play as Ellie is what stands in my mind the most.
