takeitdoen 10,627 Posted August 11, 2020 I have. Loved it and hated it simultaneously. It's an amazing achievement, but fuck it left me exhausted. I literally thought the game was going to finish when Abby lets Ellie live at the end of Seattle but the fact that it kept on going with relentless emotional scenes I had to take a few breaks. I was clawing at my face during the cut scenes. It might be the greatest narrative based game I've played?? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iiPanda 1,169 Posted August 11, 2020 Has anyone played The Past of Us pt. 2? Because fuck Yeah and honestly I liked it more than the first part .It scares me how real it is lol and also I don't get the hate the game gets its so weird. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takeitdoen 10,627 Posted August 11, 2020 @@iiPanda YES! I only played Part One last month, and I thought it was great but not really exceptional (not the game's fault - I think it's a product of it's time and the whole 'loss via apocalypse' premise is pretty common now). But I was totally blown away by this game and I liked it a lot more. The narrative is absolutely stunning, the character writing is amazing and I can't believe how they literally get you to empathise with both leads. I literally recoiled in horror when it looked like Abby was about strangle Ellie to death and then kill Dina, and when Ellie almost drowned Abby at the end And yeah, it's scary and sad how much it feels like it could be real. The cruel relentlessness and emptiness that comes with seeking revenge, but maybe even scarier is how selfish human nature is. It made me feel really uneasy with we saw how factions rose up, only to cannibalise each other - I'd like to think humans aren't so selfish but considering this pandemic with basic things like panic buying/hoarding alone, it's pretty scary and grim to predict what might happen in the future . . . The hate it gets yeah, just fragile masculinity shining through as normal - and people bitching that they couldn't play as Joel. The death of Joel is so necessary because if it wasn't there the game would be essentially the same as the first time, and the mirrored quest for revenge wouldn't work at all. It's also a fuckin' ballsy move and is amazing how blinded you are trying to get to that end goal. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it was emotionally draining, which I think was Naughty Dog's goal, they did an amazing work. I feel like it's the best PS4 exclusive and possibly a contender for one of the best games ever. The animations, sound design, attention to detail are unreal. The only thing that really bothered me was the false advertising. Idk how to put the spoiler thing so, spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't played it. They put fake scenes in the trailer and made us believe Joel was going to be joining Ellie in her revenge/killing spree. I knew Joel was going to die anyways, that wasn't all that surprising. At first I hated Abby but by the end I cared for her and for Lev. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunder Revenant 20,936 Posted February 11, 2021 I grew up as a huge Lara Croft/ Tomb Raider fan. Especially the classic games and the unfortunately rushed AoD are games I always come back to. While I really hated the reboot at first (and still think that the writing in the first part of it is just as bad as the CoCC coverart), I really enjoyed both "Rise" and "Shadow". Because there is no sign of a new game for that franchise anytime soon (at least not for the PS4), I decided to pick up the Nathan Drake collection during PlayStation sale and - I really enjoy them! I know I'm super late to the party. I was fascinated by the games when they first came out but never picked them up, because back then the whole firearms-battles-thing was not really something I excelled at lol. The first "Uncharted" gives me flashbacks to the games I played as a teen and actually aged quite well. It's fun to play a more straightforward Action-Adventure without an open world again. Having played Horizon: Zero Dawn it's really astonishing how far the technology and the design of the environment-animation has progressed. Really looking forward to play through part 2 and 3 and I'm already contemplating whether I should pick up part 4 and the spin-off afterwards. 1 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

I hope the vehicle-gameplay gets better tough, that jetski from part one was such a mess 0 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should I make a thread or are we collectively too old for it Wow, not me seeing this over a year later lmao. I personally love FNAF even though it gets a lot of hate for being cringey and having a predictable storyline. If you like FNAF, you should check out this new indie game called Poppy Playtime. It’s like a better version of FNAF imo. The storyline and gameplay are much better. FNAF is still a classic however 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
