This the first game I ever pre-ordered. so ill most likely just leave it alone.hopefully I like it

yes

its a videogame, the story is part of it yes but the gameplay is also just as important if not more important.

I’ll get the game if Factions is on it upon release. If there’s no factions I’ll wait it out for a few weeks for a general consensus.

140 to be exact

brazy

The praise for the last of us was 90% based on story

The gameplay was poor overall to mediocre at best depending on your tolerance for some of its systems

I agree that gameplay is the most important aspects of games

That is not true at all lmaoo

The gameplay for TLOU is the primary reason it was praised so much. People loved the stealth combat, which also explains why the multiplayer did well for as long as it did.

And above all, the narrative on its own would’ve just been called derivative of a 28 days later / The Road but thanks to the gameplay, it really heightened the execution of that narrative thanks to the immersion.

yeah they're more leaks. only seen a couple more but nothing towards the end. tbh I jumped to conclusions too soon.
Plus what I lost sight of and I think a lot of ppl have is TLOU has always been Ellie's story. Just cause you play as Joel doesn't mean he is the catalyst that pushes the narrative forward.

did they ever confirm if that initial jump from feb to may was to include multiplayer?

No.

Of course.

Yep.

The game might be f***ed if it’s not in there. 😬

Damn

Yeah I'm more likely to believe he would leak out of spite first and then help the employees. I would too lol. But if this is all true then ND needed the reality check

Hate to see it

This cool, but OP never gives a source and just encourages us to spread this rumor everywhere lol

It's not verified.

One way guarantee pissing off a workforce is to f*** with their money. Not a smart move from management.

Money is everything, I agree. The game will make money, but its brand is tarnished.

Exactly, why is why the OP shouldn’t be encouraging people to spread it as “humanly possible”

Better than the "other" reason imo

Honestly something of this magnitude had to happen in order to change the crunch culture there.

Radical things must happen to bring forth change sometimes
