Do it

Tell me with a straight face that’s fire writing not gameplay writing

Waiting for this to come out to play it back to back

So inNovaTivE

I bought the $60 Mario rom’s on switch so I guess this is my fault

TLOU2 the ONLY piece of gaming that’s dropped all pandemic and met all expectations and while setting a new bar

other than elden ring

I have. Once a year since it dropped another one incoming after playing the remake

Best game ever

3 games, 100+ hours to complete, all on a portable console
still cheaper than tlou pt1 remake

I gotta play these games

I’m going to buy this anyway but imagine what they could have done with factions

Hopefully we see a reveal of stand-alone factions at the game awards or something and it comes out next year

Describe what said new bar was.

Describe what about TLOU2 did it actually innovate within the gaming industry.

the combat play was pretty innovative tbh

1 has a near perfect story with very high stakes and all the emotion and actions make sense

2 is a mess with much worse level design than the first, shoehorned s***scene, way more unlikable characters (not talking about abby at all) and much less depth

Hogwash

Game was hogwash and they’re probably gonna have part 3 be hbo show only with no game to back it up

niggas really gonna buy that s*** full price?

What about the combat was really THAT different from the 1st game besides graphics improval?

i'll never get over the fact they dont show beating that b**** with a pipe or the fact ellie essentially did all that s*** for nothing cause she's a p**** and learned a lesson for plot

I love that they don’t show it because they MAKE you have to look at ellie. You have to control it and you have to look at HER while she’s doing that s***. Staring directly as Ellie as shes doing something like that

Artsy fartsy reason to like it but I thought it was a bold choice.

Learned a lesson for plot. Wouldn’t everything that’s ever written in fiction be ‘for plot?’ In the first one Joel agreed to transport ellie for plot. He saved her for plot. He learnt a lesson (one person you love is worth saving over their sacrifice for the life of others) for plot

Yeah she learnt a lesson. That she pushed everyone away and tore herself away from actual life to chase revenge

The loss f***ed her up so much that she drove everyone who was still alive to just be like ‘stop, what the f*** is it even worth’ and it caught up to her in the last moment as she saw her and lev etc

She learnt a lesson for plot but idk how she could learn a lesson not for plot

In Star Wars luke learnt that he was Vader’s son for plot

Here is Microsoft's internal review of The Last of Us Part 2 stating verbatim that the game sets the bar for what they hope to achieve for next gen consoles.

Sony's biggest competitor can admit that they made a masterpiece but yall can't

Man said much worse level design nah you hating the level design LEAGUES better in 2
