I can't comment on the story because I am only about 9 hours in, but anyone complaining that this isn't a thoroughly well designed game is a filthy pleb. Abdul hates filthy plebs

This has some of the best designed gun combat encounters in all of gaming. It has gone above and beyond in the combat encounters and the weight behind every shot. A shootout feels like a massive struggle. More so than it was in the first game. And it is done without feeling cheap. This is a hard thing to do in games. You have to make a combat encounter with guns feel like a realistic struggle without it feeling cheap. Games like GTA 5 and RDR2, which also go for a more realistic approach counteract this with slow movement and random headshots that kill you. Very poor from Rockstar. They need to start looking at Naughty Dog game design for their next game.

Big fax

lmao why isn’t there a way to view what artefacts i do and don’t have? i’m seriously gonna have to just get every single one in each section, even if i’ve only just missed one?

Man f*** these Infected in Day 2

Day 2 Ellie or?

nah bro this game is legit amazing these encounters are so f***ing tense and vibes are just perfect, story is fine so far besides bits of extra ass drama THESE flashbacks, i'm tearing up

Not Yara man 😭😭😭

rule 34 for this game bouta go crazy

Abby.Just got out of the skyscraper building and I’m shaking them MFs jump out the wall

People are more complaining about how bad the story is than the combat

The Last of Us isn’t known for great combat play

That’s not why people where waiting for this

Holy s***. Remember people saying Neil forced Amy and others out of naughty dog... multiple former IGN employees are coming out saying it was fake news forced by higher up managers.

Wow... it’s crazy how much s*** goes on behind the scenes

just more proof that IGN is s***. Haven't cared for their review scores regardless if its a 0/10 or 10/10 in a while.

Stop saying "the story is bad" as if it was a fact. If sexually frustrated teenagers and mandchilds are mad that their beloved character got busted that doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the story

Except the last of us is known for great combat? I considered the first to have some of the best combat in a game of this type. It also refined the non sticky cover mechanics perfectly.

Who says last of us 1 doesn't have great combat?

Two be fair those two people Have been out of the company for like a year now some hopefully change is being made

Hopefully their culture has change since then.

Had no idea you could jump down on people like this wtf

ellie x dina...

holy f*** day 3 so tense

This is pretty crazy. Especially as Mitch Dyer is very well known in the industry. Not some trash journalist nobody knows.

Been known IGN is some s***e but to see somebody as well known as Mitch come out with this is a big deal. I still don't understand how they managed to hire that Nintendo guy who plagiarised all his work.

Bruh.

WHAT THE F*** IS THATTTTR
