Dark Hospital for sure. Rat King aside, the clickers on the walls had me shook AF

Hospital 100%. S*** was straight out of Resident Evil

There’s an Accessibility option that auto picks up things you’re near

Just beat it and I thought it was great. There are definitely valid criticisms but some people are seriously overreacting. Fantastic game and one of the best of the generation 100%

people using buzzwords with no meaning like subverting expectations as a lazy way to complain about stories not going the way they wanted rather than offering any meaningful criticism is a much bigger and much worse trend than any actual "subverting of expectations"

i think this is true

but the last jedi is a prime example of legitimate gripes with "subverting expectations"

that movie actively went against what the force awakens tried to set up and it ruined the sequel trilogy imo

the problem isn't going left... the problem is going left when you've already set up your course to go right

the evidence is clear in what they tried to do in rise of skywalker to course correct

I feel this

Just finished finally. That was f***ing epic. Masterpiece.

It's picking up and it's kinda cool now

Ngl though I still feel like a sequel existing takes away from the ending of the first game. Like that ending was so great and not knowing what’s going to happen to Ellie and Joel after left a big emotional impact. Now someone can beat the first game and immediately boot up part 2 and see what happens lol

Personally I think The Last Jedi contradicts absolutely nothing in The Force Awakens (a movie that set up absolutely nothing because JJ Abrams has gone on record saying he had literally no plan for what would happen after it and had no intention on following on anything he introduced)

in many ways that movie works as a logical progression from the previous movie, it just wasn't the progression some people wanted which led to a lot people using subverting expectations as a blanket statement rather than offer any real criticism beyond "it wasn't what I wanted"

but I don't want to spend more time debating on a movie that has already been debated to death

my main issue with the discourse surrounding this game is even comparing it to s*** like Star Wars in the first place

this is the problem with something like this reaching blockbuster status; people expect it to suddenly follow blockbuster storytelling conventions when it's never tried to do that in the first place, this games have never told Joseph Campbell Hero's Journey type of story at all

I keep seeing people talking about comic book movies and Star Wars as reference points for their arguments when some of the main inspirations behind these games is s*** like No Country for Old Men The Road and Children for Men, stories that don't follow those same type of storytelling conventions whatsoever, stories where none of the narrative decisions in this game would be out of place at all

yall are in here talking about Spiderverse, an animated kids movie, when one of this series' biggest inspirations is a movie that kills off its supposed protagonist offscreen about halfway through the movie and provides the audience with absolutely zero resolution, it's just odd to me

Just finished

Ellie’s singing in the credits

Yeah now I’m feeling a 2nd playthrough with all the upgrades. Tell the WLF, Scars, and undead I’m coming through these f***s ain’t ready

hm

i respect your thoughts

salute

My girl is so invested in this story, that she doesnt want me to play it when she isnt home

After reflecting, I definitely think I f\*\*\*ed with Abby’s story and journey in this game more than Ellie’s

That said, these characters go through hell in this game. LITERAL HELL. As great as I think the first game is, it does not compare to the s*** you have to do as a player in this.

What other game has combat this f***ing dope??

I swear there are endless ways to approach a fight in this game

Realist post on this thread

you mean a baseless claim where the chick even backpedaled on her original statement? yeah definitely doesn't sound fake to me at all...

if you've been watching the previous streams he's made his problems w the game clear, and he was enjoying up until the abby part

I really really disliked playing with Abby. Like that gameplay was way too f***ing long and predictable.

They made her this unbelievable character too only because of the agenda but that's what's not bothering me.

The storytelling was really bad compared to the first one imo

Yeah the replay value is gonna be god tier because of this very reason.

Ex. I sniped all these f***s from that island across the way

factions w/ this combat gonna be next level
