The Last of Us 2 Thread - GS Review 8/10

First off, I do have one friend who owns a PS4 an he's a bigger cow than you, and we used to rib each other when we worked together, I ribbed him for crying while playing the first game, don't care whether you believe it or not, he hates the second game for its shitty story.

Secondly I haven't read any reviews for the game, I have seen a couple of reviews for the game. I have read the story about the game so I could make fun of it and cows who suckle on Sony so hard such as yourself. I also don't hate the game, i'm using it for my own gain :)

@Zero_epyon: Yeah you're too old for it, and yet partake in it until it doesn't suit you. Run along cow.

The Last of Us Part II sold over 4 million copies in the first three days.

I'm 18 hours in now. The pacing could use a lot of work, and there's a few boring sections, but I generally like it a lot.

The story is dogshit lol

From what I hear the gameplay is the shit so who cares.

Gameplay is the best ND's done so far.

I'm talking about a game. You're talking about systems. Big difference.

Had to bump the thread, it was getting on the lower part of the page, which isn't great for a legendary game like this.



Currently my GOTY, but i'm far from beating the game (maybe half way?). It has surpassed DOOM ETERNAL. But who really cares, CP2077 will be goty to everyone who plays video games.

8.

I expected 8 but wow I didn't expect most users hating it that much.

End of an era for noTdog?

The fact that the game is getting so much hate and the fans are out for blood just make me appreciate the themes of Last of us II so much more now. I’ve played a lot of video games but if this game were the last game I ever played I’d be okay with that.

Remember when Europe bastardized chaturanga by adding the strongest female protagonist?

Quartering should make a video on it. Pad it out for 4 minutes shilling Raid Shadow Legends.

i'm about 12 hours in and it's long since become a chore to play. encapsulates the very best and worst of naughty dog. at best it's gripping and edge of the seat, at worst it's restrictively scripted and laboriously slow paced. and there's far, far too much of the latter.

it's been a good few years since i played the first tlou. i forgot how repetitive the scavenge, stealth, kill gameplay loop is and how downright tedious having to search every building for supplies gets. my poor triangle button has taken a battering. i was really hoping for an injection of something new to the nd formula with tlou2 but so far can't help feel like they've polished this game in all the wrong places.

also, **** flashback scenes, particularly at key moments in the game

What difficulty you playing in?

just the standard difficulty. does it get any better cranked up?

In my opinion, every game with scavenging as one of the main game mechanics is always best played on the hardest difficulty. Scavenging is not a chore on Survival, you're happy to find a shotty or a rifle round. Against large groups, you gotta strategize, lure enemies into your mines, try to have a few close to each other, use a smoke bomb to then rush at them and one hit kill each while being safe from the smoke, etc. Combat is real engaging.

yeah makes sense, there's a definite lack of jeopardy at the default difficulty. i'm a bit torn between increasing the challenge but also then prolonging what has, so far, felt like a generally a slow paced game. there's probably a degree of wanting to get to the end before i read spoilers online at play here too.

every time something significant happens it feels like the game slams on the brakes, followed by a narrative-heavy driven section in which player input is largely incidental. that kind of start-stop pacing has started to grate on me and i'm not sure changing the difficulty will help alleviate that

Just finished the game tonight I give it 9.2 graphics are amazing easily the best looking PS4 game combat is great very brutal much better then Doom Eternal. The story is ok I guess but man did this game drag in the end overall my favorite game of the year so far and most impressive. Also the atmosphere in this 10/10 that Aquarium base just wow.

9.2/10. Amazing game with few flaws.

of course if you prefer cinematic style flasshy animations over actual shooting.

Flashy animations? lol they're reaslistic animations, not flashy. Its Doom animations that are flashy.

Finally finished this bitch. I've been avoiding almost all conversation about this game, and I'm shocked that I never got spoiled on it. I'm highly grateful. This is ND's greatest achievement. I hardly even missed Factions (though it still would be welcome). This is a massive single-player experience, a sprawling and epic journey with a lot of harrowing set pieces in between.

I know there was a big campaign to try and destroy this game due to misguided gamer politics, what else is new, but it would be an injustice to miss this game if you own a PS4 due to pre-conceived notions. The gameplay is much sharper this time around. This isn't Ubisoft stealth at play, hiding in the grass only does you so good from a certain distance, your AI companions aren't invisible anymore, dogs keep you on your toes. This is a very active and dangerous world.

There's enough content in this game for a Last of Us 2 and 3, so you get your money's worth. Narrative wise, this is ND's best effort. Chaining together the events of the last game, and the rippling effects thereof in a circular tale of tragedy. The game has a couple of typical gaming formulas I wish they didn't lean on, but they they've done a good enough job where it doesn't weigh things down. They've definitely addressed some complaints of the last game and surprisingly side stepped them. One, like Ellie finally learning to swim, has even been added to the story.

Say what you will ND's uneven Uncharted entries, the even-numbered entries being the best, TLoU franchise is their swan song. 10/10

In doom you shoot enemies and then commit glory kills.

last of us 2 on other hand is movie game where combat is just nothing more than animations.

Just like real life. Called realism.

Glory kill are scripted animations it gets old fast with TLOU2 you have alot more variety in combat and it is much more enjoyable and vicious then Doom Eternal even Rage 2 has better combat then DOOM Eternal. I really hope ID gets rid of the stupid glory kills they feel very casual a flashing enemy and you press one key to kill them aka QTE wow such hardcore skillz it's boring.

Difference is Doom is still game and requires tons of challenge even with glory kills.

you have problem with this but not with proper QTE that is in last of us 2 and other movie games. last of us 2 is more of interactive movie. just compare user score of TLOU2 and Doom and see the difference.

and LOL at RAGE 2 combat better. RAGE 2 is incredibly easy and overpowered game.

taking about hardcore when your fav game of all time is GTA5 which is one of the easiest and casual game of all time. aka do nothing.

I never seen anything like that in Doom as showing button prompt and pressing them or tapping them. just shoot and do glory kill and move on.

@Macutchi: auto-collect is a thing.

The worst designed open world games contain less bloat and padding. What an absolute mess of a game.

edit: Finally finished it. Whatever. Sad omg. consequences.

Those death animations are dope.

@warmblur: But you are doing nothing in order to see dope animation but in Doom you have to dash, grapple, shoot before performing glory kill.

Another thing i must say is that TLOU1 and 2 have the best collectible notes in any game. They're always interesting to read while being shit and not even worth reading in most games

@BenjaminBanklin: Hardcore cow gives Sony game 10/10, more news at 11.

Oh yeah, screw me for getting the console with the great games. I can't wait for your glowing review of Crackdown 3. 🤣🤣🤣

I bet you fapped when Abby got her man boobs out didn't you LMFAO.

Can you come back, @tormentos? Please...

What about all those 10 scores on June 19th? The day of release for TLoU2.

Who designs a website with the "Delete" selection, right below the "Edit" selection? Complete mongoloids. GS, get your staff in check.

No man, I don't yank to video games. Your Xbox on the other hand probably looks like a glazed donut whenever you pop in a copy of Forza.

Hey Tormy, you there? What about those 10's on June 19th? The release date of TLoU2.

You mean the ones that aline with th BAST MAJORITY of the gaming industry?

Probably from troll that didn't play the game either,unlike you i can see that,but you will not see me downplaying score or claiming the industry is on a payroll like if MS or Nintendo could not pay for score like some have claim here.

Both extremes are bad but tell me something what does 10 aline better with 9.5 or 0.

BY the way my notifications are off so if you or anyone quote me i don't see them,i just saw this now because i enter the thread.

By the way is I_p_daily still crying on the thread?🤣

You avoided this question for, what? 3 days? You lambasted the scoring of 0, but took until now to address the 10's upon release date. Congrats, i'm glad you had the gumption to address the post eventually.

Where the score aligns is 100% irrelevant, as June 19th was the release date, and thus the game could not have been completed at that point.

At some point, you need to look at your own inadequacies, and this post shows that. Turn off notifications all you like, but you reply to other responses on the fly, and most don't have you holding your balls in your hands trying to refute a response. In other words, you can bullshit other responses, but bullshitting mine isn't easy...

Yeah sure, i'm betting you were "hard" at it lol

@tormentos: Look at tormeltdownos can't tell the difference between laughing and crying lol.

Have you bought it yet tormy? oh you say you're on holiday and yet all you have done on this "holiday" is having meltdowns on SW, you are bad at lying.

You can't even afford to buy the game let alone a PooS4 to play it on LOL.

What about all those 3000+ 5 star ratings the game had on the PS store weeks before the game came out tormy, Sony/ND being frauds.

This is what happens when you don't have any decent AAA releases between Gears games, folks. It turns you into a salty old pervert with blue balls like ol' Daily here. 🤣🤣🤣

Even if there was any, he doesn't play anything but the yearly Forza, so it wouldn't change anything. Daily ain't a gamer, i dunno what he is doing on a gaming forum lol

😂

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Who knew all it took was man boobs to get a 10 from cows lol.

I expected it from Benji as he has a man fetish, so he's watching it while thinking its Phil Spencers man boobs lol.

As for you "hard" (for man boobs) who helps you write your comments on SW, as you're that clueless that you supposedly "lost" your password for your account for over a decade, i'd be surprised if you haven't forgotten how to spell your own name lol.

Is this forum still alive?

TLoU2 is overrated here in GS, just to say.

What a ***ing mess of a game. And that is coming from someone who holds up the first game as the best game of last generation.

Just played a bit of RE3R at a friend house. That thing feels like a clunky joke of a game compared to TLOU2. TLOU2 is now the gold standard in third person zombie games. It will ruin future games for me 😢

You already know this one, i saved it just for you 😊😊😊
These kids are from the 90's, and they already knew about you 👀
