The Last of Us Part II [OT] Violent Delights Have Violent Ends

[Necrokiller]

I wanted to see how The Last of Us Part 2 fares in the OP's certified "Cutscene to Gameplay Ratio ®" analysis.

Spoiler: show

Average length of completion is 22h 48m.
Almost 5 hours of cutscenes.

22.8 - 4.95 = 17.85h worth of gameplay

Cutscene to Gameplay Ratio ® becomes 3.6 to 1.

In order to conveniently shit on other games, the OP stated that atleast "5 to 1" ratio is acceptable. Part 2 falls way short of that mark.

In conclusion:

Come to podcast with us

Another completely fake animation not found in the final game. This wasn't even labeled as a "work in progress" lol

Conveniently changing the location of the original gif so that contextual animation never plays out. Fake demo still fake :lol:

I should've made my own comparison video. Seem to be doing a better job than both DF and NX Gamer

 

[Necrokiller]

Come to podcast with us

Will you be discussing Half-Life: Alyx?

 

[Chandoo]

We can spare a minute or two for "what have you been playing" for everyone

 

[Necrokiller]

Then the podcast must be focusing on "movies you interacted with in 2020"

 

[Chandoo]

Mostly focused on the current GoTY, The last of Us 2

Interesting choice of words lol

I'm waiting to be pleasantly surprised by Ghosts of Tsushima and any surprise new console launch games. I don't expect some other games to even make it in 2020 TBH

 

[Leon]

So many real positive scores outnumbering the fake negative review bombing

 

[CerebralTiger]

Without bringing some other game *cough*cough*MGS*cough*cough* into the discussion and discuss TLOU2 as is

It'd be difficult for me to talk about TLOU2's gameplay and not bring up MGS, because I believe it draws heavily from both MGS3 and RE4, more so than the original TLOU did. It doesn't lean in favor of either, and strikes a great balance between the two design philosophies, imo. When some people argue that TLOU2 doesn't offer revolutionary gameplay or does nothing new in this regard, they're right when viewing each mechanic in isolation. But when viewed as a whole, this evolution and merger of existing concepts comes together to deliver a unique experience.

I don't expect simple small linear level games developed in 6-7 years to have so many bugs and glitches. Some are admittedly pretty hilarious.

 

[Major Aly]

Oh, the above post reminds me I have my own video curated from first playthrough experiences of such a polished and refined game whose sole focus was attention to detail and no MP

 

[CerebralTiger]

lmao @ developed in 6-7 years. Were they co-developing it with Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy?

Heck, the game was announced in December 2016 lol. Active development began after UC4's release, and the full 350 person studio was working on it after Lost Legacy was done.

 

[Necrokiller]

Dat AI tho lol

Proof that the gif is from Survivor difficulty playthrough. "mUh f@v g@m3 d03sn'T haVe dUmb AI, must be on normal difficulty"

There you have it folks. What is being described as "deliberately dumbed down AI" is infact the highest difficulty. Blind ass fanboy being blind just like the enemies in this game

 

[CerebralTiger]

Someone playing with auto-aim enabled is surely playing on Survivor difficulty to experience what the enemy AI is really like /s. The normal difficulty is deliberately dumbed down for obvious reasons lol.

Hahah what a joke. The guy clearly has accessibility settings enabled (auto aim is seen enabled everywhere in the video), yet shows them all disabled at the beginning. Who knows what other accessibility settings he secretly changed (e.g. prone invisibility, stealth awareness, difficulty itself lol). Blind ass hater defending a weak ass streamer

Here's a real Survivor playthrough:

Btw, the game's highest difficulty is Survivor+.

 

[Necrokiller]

Don't let any denial make you forget the fact that the game has a Cutscene to Gameplay Ratio ® of 3.6:1
