Who’s actually enjoying The Last of Us 2 remastered? No OT or anything?

Gameplay great, story is worse than my lowest expectations. Dialog between Ellie and the big assed Jewish broad is completely unbearable. All the people on GAF who lifted this thing up as some type of true art are getting the side eye from here out.

It really is pretty annoying. That whole Seattle section they're talking to each other like they're still smoking weed in the basement. They're just too cool for school man - and then they interrupt that to kill a bunch of mercenaries like they're both Rambo. Realistic this game is not. It's well made but the story is nihilistic and ridiculous.

TLOU Part I wasn't built around that type of combat though. It just wouldn't have worked and would've had to be a completely different game.
Remaking it was their chance to retool the crappy funnel/arena level design and the encounters I thought, or well, I would've liked that. A straight remake seems absurdly pointless to me still.

I know what you're saying but as a player I still find it almost impossible to go back to that PS2 Manhunt level design after TLoU2.
 
Not enough anime and waifus we get it
I enjoyed Silent Hill 2 remake and Dead Space and those games didn't have "anime and waifus".

I also entirely skip games like Genchin impact and all gacha F2P games even tho they do have "anime and waifus".

I don't know if I trust gaf's opinions on Sony games and absolutely no one I know in real life has played this. I have fallen asleep 3 times trying to get through Ragnarok and that was allegedly also a GOAT game.
 
So when you were calling it pretentious elementary level, you were really comparing it to the greatest stories that have stood the test of time? Quite the compliment, then :)
More in the sense of being primitive simplistic on the nose preaching. The level elementary kids can understand.
But even that would be too much praise, for the garbage writing in that game because these fairytales are at least consistent within themselves.

Not a fan of the "new" God of War games, only the old hack and slash.

Don't own a PS5, just PS4, which collects dust.

I will snag a modern console once GTA6 hits, but before then, no need.

Just bustin your balls man. I know you have taste (along with hating most western shit) :pie_sfwth:
 
Would love to play it for the gameplay, but the idea of giving that hack my money is too nauseating. And this is coming from someone who thought TLOU was the greatest game ever (until KCD2 came around).
 
Its simply the Worst sequel of all time ...no matter how good some aspects may be.. the trully awful storytelling cant be ignored.

And the recent changes for the tv series just proved this , spin it all you want...

Bought my copy off key site for $38. Not a bad deal. The presentation and combat and exploration is top notch.
 
Well at least the drawing in this game has big boobs ... the females ? Not so much
Also read a note at the "muscles shop" bout how "Jimmy" was killed by facists bc he came out as gay. No joke. Was on the bulletin board.

Yeah. Kinda getting turned off by this stuff. But the gameplay is undeniably top notch.

Yeah.. when your brain can say fuck off to this bullshit and just enjoy the gameplay... is ok .. unfortunately mine cannot so I just hated...

I can see how it's a tad far. But I'm good so far. It's merely here and not a main part of the game. Dumb? Yes. But man… the gameplay is SO superb. It's hard not to play lol 😂

They called it a remake, sold it as a next-gen only first party exclusive, and charged full price. Fixing the brain-dead level design and under-baked gameplay was the least they could do, in my opinion.
 
The 2nd was better, but I personally just find this franchise super overrated and I'm tired of ND milking the crap out of this. I have no desire to replay these.


Played the first one for the first time on PC and wondered what all the fuss was about. Didn't play it for very long. Got bored. Doubt I'll ever play the second one. I've certainly played banter games, so I agree it's overrated.
 
this game is an abomination, the first one was amazing, well written with great moments, but the second is just a disgrace

I don't think I've seen a game so polarizing. Folks who love it (like me) think it is amazing. Folks who hate it (like you) think it is an "abomination". It is wild.

I just dislike very much Neil Druckmann, he is pretentious, arrogant, and on top of that he said he had an agenda to represent women in the way he think is appropriate, meaning woke. And when you play the game you can see the wokeness all around it, its infested by it. On top of that, the way they killed Joel was stupid, completely out of character and made no sense. It's just pure woke propaganda. So yes I hate the game

I loved TLO1 to pieces and I never felt such disappointment from a sequel in my 35 years of playing videogames.

I get it. The complaints are pretty consistent among those who dislike the game. I stopped arguing over TLOU 2 a while ago because folks like us who have entirely different perspectives on the game will never see eye to eye. Nothing wrong with that. We ain't all meant to like the same things.

When I say what I think about a game I don't pretend to own the truth. I am just telling my feelings over something I have experienced. Many people liked the game and enjoyed it so I won't pretend that the game is terrible and there is nothing good to find. For instance I believe the gameplay is great and the addition of crawling is fantastic. But when I play a game like The Last of Us, I expect the writing and story to be amazing and in this sense the game failed in so many way for me that I just can't like it or praise it in general

Didn't have the best impressions with all the controversies / things you read here and there. But can't really skip such a big release day1, now can I? So with that I have to admit I do enjoy the game!
Story? Obviously the big one closing the prologue was barely a secret if you follow video games. Have to see it through all the way, halfwayish in so far, but I couldn't say I have much of an issue with it.
Gameplay wise? Maybe not pushing hard or maybe just often enough on the survival horror/darkness/scary parts like other genre classics. When it does it's pretty alright. But please put this level of gore on kills in every similar game ever! It just adds so much to the whole vibe of kill or be killed, it's a harsh and brutal world and I just love it!
 
It's just incredible how Druckmann fumbled this story by injecting his bizarre fetishes into it and trying to both-sides a classic revenge story, which just doesn't work.

It's all the more dumbfounding because the game is undeniably exciting at times. I'm sort of speedrunning it just to say I've played it and there is a sequence in the middle where Ellie corners someone in a hospital and then steals a boat to hunt down her target in an aquarium and it really is an incredible sequence. But then Chickzilla comes in and takes over and you have to look at her gross roid arms and the whole thing just becomes ridiculous again. Such a shame - this should have been one of the greatest games of all time.
