goodness does the gameplay shine when you're under pressure.

Yeah if there’s one thing TLOU2 has over any game Iv’e ever played is somehow landing that balance between scarcity and resources in terms of combat. You rarely ever have enough bullets and you’re always trying to save them so engagements usually start stealth but the game has a way of turning that “oh gently caress I’ve been spotted” moment and follow-up fighting / shooting into its own rewarding and engaging experience.

It’s the one game where I felt loving up stealth worked because that’s where the combat elements really shined.

Peace Walker and MGS3 being trapped on PS3 and earlier is a travesty.

They are available on the :xbone: xbox store if you have a Series S/X.

Your killer track.




The only MGS I ever played was MGSV. I wanted to look up some backstory so I'd know what was happening and the first sentence on the wikia for the main character spoiled what was apparently the big twist at the end of the game, which I didn't realize until I finished it. And I still didn't know what was happening!

I think TLOU2 is worth a replay right now mainly because of what’s happening in the Gaza Strip, and we should all have more understanding and empathy for those who are living through those traumatic experiences. The later levels in TLOU2 are gruesome, and are practically synonymous with being there.

nah even for you nah just nah

Sony must know I'm in the market for a PS5, I just received an email with a unique link to order one tomorrow at 3pm EST. Guess I'll give it a shot, unless everyone gets one of these emails at some point and it's actually pretty pointless.

All the talk of it being a brutal bleak expression of grimness and suffering gets me more hyped than anything to check it out, I hope it’s not actually weak and underwhelming. I want to be grossed out and upset the whole way through.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I’m replaying some TLOU2 right now and it was honestly such a technical marvel at release that it gains almost nothing from 60fps and higher resolution. The game speaks for itself regardless of graphical output.

Hail to the King, baby.

TLOU2 was an exhausting and draining game to play and I loved it for it. I haven't touched it since I beat it and it's not the type of game I want to replay often or frequently, but I think it'll be even better on a revisit after giving it time to marinate and settle. Looking forward to playing through again for the plat at some point, in 60fps. :D

TLOU2 is great, it was kind of mentally exhausting to get through to the end i'll admit. It kind of brings to light that infected humans aren't really the villains. Hell really is other people.

Oh yeah, absolutely, but they’re basically saying they just dipped their toes into it. Believe me, as the guy who will tell anyone who will listen that GamesRadar is completely full of poo poo for saying TLoU2 got haptics added for PS5, I know. :v:
