Prone + dodge, all new animations, wasnt stiff, ai massively improved, played like mgs5. You’re just hating at this point. The gameplay and level design MASSIVELY improved from 1 to 2

Ugh even in a thread that's supposed to be about the first game he manages to suck the second games d*** dry.

everything with the gameplay felt seamless with nothing that took me out of the world it’s placed in, they did not lie about enemies,combat type,ammo& terrain having huge impacts on how you proceed. mechanics were beyond the clunky nature of others even in the same genre.

and mind you we were still playing on a PS4 on release lol so let me add graphically and aesthetically you couldn’t point out one thing that seemed cheap. everything you could interact with felt that it mattered in this game. and you felt instant regret for any area you may have missed.

regardless of how you feel about the story, for me it was a jarring but raw journey that had so many moments that were satisfying to experience. most other games have that 1 climax moment which you were waiting for while tlou2 had several.

You gotta be joking

Did u dislike the story?

Launch trailer

Looks great.
I still couldn't justify buying this again tho lol.

i cant justify it but it comes out 2 days after my bday so i know imma get it

Storytelling.
From a narrative standpoint TLOU2 changed what type of stories could be told in video games, and how they were told.
And it really challenges players morality and expectations in a way we haven't seen before

The narrative, perspective, and pacing is all unique for a game

There's a reason why we are still discussing and debating the story years later. Very very few video games ever have had their story discussed this much

Revenge is bad

This thread (RT @BlueDream_ ):

Yo @ShintaroKago wtf these niggas talking about

I’m just asking if you liked the story

no.

Not only that but the story was basically made to take all likability away from ellie and try to make us feel sorry for abby, even giving her her own "origin story" and which left me not really feeling anything for either of them niggas.

It just felt to me both characters were just not really given that much humanity. And the creator just tried to go for "woke points"

TLOU2 is actually what people think of when they say Oscar/Award bait.

And that just don't make for a fun game to me dog. Just edgy for no reason. (not saying s*** has to be fun to be a fun game, I enjoyed Heavy Rain a lot for example)

But hey, yall f*** with $60 guitar playing simulators go for it then lol.

yeah thats bait

anyways

tlou part 1 out next week

Well I ask all that to say, you saying

‘the gameplay wasn’t an improve moment from TLOU1’

is just your disliking of the story overriding the way you saw the other aspects of the game (happened to many many people)

Give the game another try now that you know how the story shakes out

If the only thing you got from the game is "revenge is bad" then idk what to tell you lmao

TLOU2 isn't just simply about "revenge bad"

It's about forgiveness, empathy, perspective, understanding, moving on

The game doesn't want you to feel bad for Abby, it just wants you to understand her.

To Abby, Ellie is the villian. To Ellie, Abby is the villain.
They are both shown in negative ways because they both do monstrous things to get what they want, and they lose their humanity.

And about the ending...the cycle of violence had to stop somewhere and both characters agreed on different occasions that the cycle needed to end before more people were killed

If you don’t want to get this, you can save your money for those gamescom games instead.

by 'for plot' i mean like its pretty unlikely to actually happen and also kinda lacks logic, not just "this was part of the plot"

cause you cant really be like "violence and revenge bad" after risking you loved ones and razing a whole camp and a s*** ton of ppl

kinda like how the only reason batman is a threat to the JL is because plot and the writer writes it

TLOU2 game of the century

I hated Ellie’s levels, so boring to be in

Abby’s levels were f***ing cool tho

i can see the argument for ellies being boring

how they split up the campaigns level design wise was interesting to me.

Ellies followed more open enviornment's, lost legacy type progression.

Abby's was more uncharted like, linear, and full of amazing set pieces

depends on what you like, but i also liked abby's levels way more

but i didnt hate ellies.

That said i thought the design of both was way better then the level design in the first game

I think my main gripe with the game is I found Abby to be a character whose story made the most sense, but by the time I got to playing as Abby I was kind of uninvested

I think like, maybe, it just could have been executed better like the first game

But along with me not really liking Ellie from a story perspective, came my gripes with the level design and other things

People saying Ellie levels were boring…

Well play on a higher difficulty then.

About to put this GameFly 30 day free trial to use

Hopefully it won’t take long to ship.
