lol actually, I was experimenting with dodge/sprint mapped to R1 instead of L1, but that just makes it difficult to evade an incoming runner/clicker you're also aiming/shooting at. The default L1 for dodge and R1 for Listen mode works best.

I think fanboys and haters need to realize that Last of Us 2 is not for everyone. It has charged political undertones, bad PR effort and ofcourse bigotory factors in too.

It leans far too left for its own good. In america, people are distrusting journalists and voicing their opinion. Best bet is to wait for the opinion of someone you trust instead of paid journalists who work more for tge benefit of thier own instead of gamers.

Thanks for being neutral. If the reviews are being bombarded it can go both ways like in the screenshot. If people are bombing it with zeroes what is stopping the Druckmann fans bombing with 10?

Steelbook get !


Here it is in it's unopened state.




The steel book is gorgeous as expected, and I'm gonna avoid peeking at the art book until beating the game to avoid accidental spoilers





Oh ... what's this .. whose this on the back of the steel book ? She looks like the silent strong golfing type :popcorn2:

The recent controversy like this happened with the movie Star Wars Last Jedi. Well whose side you are on?

The only controversy is that the loudest mouths on the internet are all pretty much crybabies :p

Both TLJ and TLoU 2 are critical and commercial successes (going by TLoU 2's record breaking pre orders).

Couple of hours into the game and the combat is definitely a big Improvement from the first one. The tension approaching a combat scenario is REAL!!! Started on the survivor difficulty, I hope I don't regret it.

Animation quality is also on another level.
So yes, The Last of Us Part 2 is a more responsive game than Naughty Dog's previous works. Moving through the world feels slightly snappier all around, but it's the fluid transitions between actions that sticks out the most.
We've seen a lot of top tier AAA releases this generation and it's clear that a lot of other developers are delivering impressive results as well, but there's just something about these Naughty Dog productions that stands out. This level of polish within the context of such a large game is difficult to beat.

First impressions:

- Right from the opening I'm hooked at the story prospects
- Presentation is bar none
- Game play is TLoU 1 with a lot of improvements, not a radical departure from what worked.
- Just the simple act of stealth killing an infected is much more visceral and gory than anything before. I'm ready to have a very unsettling experience through and through.
- Probably the only console game i've played which allows full FoV control, and so far there doesn't seem to be any performance penalties from using expanded FoV so I guess that's good.

Not mine .. but God daaaaaaaaaaaayum








ND's PS5 output will just be a camera in a real forest at this rate.

Yeah, it's an evolution of TLOU1's gameplay rather than a revolution, which is excellent. Some of the additions to the gameplay are more impactful than they initially seem.

Probably the only console game i've played which allows full FoV control, and so far there doesn't seem to be any performance penalties from using expanded FoV so I guess that's good
This is really important. Everyone needs to try playing with max FoV and max camera distance (or find a setting that suits you).

Another thing I'm noticing which the DF video also pointed out ..

Naughty Dog has done a great job of using SSR/Cube Maps and partial reflections everywhere which gives a good 'cheaper looking' but effective facsimile of ray tracing. Of course I'm not saying it looks as good as actual ray tracing, but on the limited and old hardware, this is the best implementation I've seen. Things like curved metallic surfaces on trucks reflect Ellie, which is a simple effect but one I haven't seen most games use.

PewDewPie "There's a reason this game has a 10/10, there has to be a reason why."
His play through is up, He is halfway through and still trying to find a reason why it's 10/10 (lmao)

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
