As a big-budget action game, then, The Last of Us Part II is almost without peer
Nailed it.

You may like it, you may not like it. But TLoU 2 is (almost) without peer in terms of production, craft and artistic talent on display.

I agree with Edge's comments and score for this game, including the comments about the story. Unlike the first game, the story here is intentionally divisive for many reasons, which increases the likelihood of, and even necessitates, many people finding it flawed. It's a you like it or don't like it kind of thing. Many like it but it's a given that others will take issue with it (I'm on both sides in some ways). It's simply not written for everyone and that's fine imo.

I dunno if this has been shared or not but my glitch video and me finding that arrow nails my theory that it was a playable section and that they forgot to remove it during their ‘polish’.

Damn, sounds interesting but understandable why they cut it, the game is already mammoth as it is and one of the rare complaints is that it could use some editing in some parts.

I'd imagine the segment they cut would have been an homage to the start of Winter in TLoU 1 where Ellie hunts the deer.

Yeah, Neil mentioned this during the Kinda Funny spoilercast. The part was instead replaced with a journal entry, which served the narrative better.

People are so busy talking about the games narrative that the excellent game play engine doesn't get enough love.

If there's an award for 'best moment or sequence' at the end of the year, the Rat King boss will get my nomination. Completely unlike anything ND has done and holy shit, the setup was terrifying.

This along with...

Spoiler: show
...the Abby/Ellie duel...

...were both excellent fights, each for their own reasons. Would be tough for me to pick one. But let's face it, neither of them can compete with the masterful encounter design of Cyberpunk 2077's Sasquach boss fight. Looks like it'll take the crown.

Since no one shared the OT maker's favorite critic review, I guess he'll have to do it himself 😄
Edge - 9/10
Maybe you should take your own advice and not read too much into this. Edge, afterall, has always put Naughty Dog (and their eNc0nt3r DeS1gnS) in their place. :LOL:

That still doesn’t change the fact that no Naughty Dog game has ever won and you continue to value Edge’s opinion for this game and not the others when it suits your agenda.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    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.
