Fans of The Last of Us believe Astro Bot has ended an iconic debate

Astro BotJoel’s cameo appearance seems to end an age-old debate in the eyes of some The Last of Us Fans. Now that PlayStation has developed a full-fledged video game around Astro, who is generally considered the new mascot of the gaming brand, Astro Bot Fans have another, larger set of references to appreciate, one of which shows that Team Asobi may take sides in one of The Last of Us biggest conflicts in the community.

One of the things that players enjoyed most Astro Bot is the way the game highlights tiny details of popular video game characters. Astro Bot achieves this through numerous cameos that use stylized versions of the game's title character to pay tribute to other franchises. Some cameos are taken to the next level through props that can be acquired for the PlayStation bots, with Joel wielding one of his two favorite throwing distraction tools. c

Astro Bot'S The Last of Us Cameo shows Joel holding a brick, which some Redditors have seen as the definitive answer to the debate over which item is better in the series' games. The many who have played through The Last of Us Games tend to favor bottles or bricks when fighting through the post-apocalyptic world, taking everything from appearance and sound to durability into account. Both can be used as melee or throwing weapons, and while the brick is statistically better, the choice often comes down to what players like. Still, it seems like Astro Bot agrees with the community consensus regarding the better throwable.

Astro Bot ends the “rock vs. bottle” debate in The Last of Us

This makes sense because there is actually a difference between bottles and bricks. The Last of Us Games. Players have realized that the brick is much more effective in close combat as it is available for three hits, with some players calling brick attacks a “three-part combo”. In contrast, the bottle breaks after one hit in close combat, although some The Last of Us Players have argued that it can stun enemies for longer when thrown. Still, most players prefer to use the brick because it feels like it makes more sense in the survival fight. Additionally, the fact that Ellie carries a bow in her cameo can be seen as a testament to its usefulness, in addition to how well it fits her character, so the same would make sense for the brick.

Astro Bot makes every effort to offer entertaining cameos. So far, it has pleased many fans, The Last of Us Fan included. The Last of Us have not reached a hero level, but if Astro Bot If more content is added at some point through DLC or a sequel, it may receive even more support from Team Asobi.
