I didn't "get" the first one. The pace breaking platforming sections killed my fun and didn't bother seeing it through.

There was no platforming in the Last of us. Are you sure you're not talking about another game?

This is the Codex. Always expect to see lies when people complain about so-called "popamole" games.

I watched the TLOU movie and loved it -can't wait for the sequel to be uploaded to YouTube. Actually hyped.

Patforming: gathering literal planks to make platforms with which to cross gaps. I think it was the third time the game pulled that bullshit (first time was to cross roofs (after meeting the booby-trap bro, the one that broke me was when you were in some pool of water and had to fetch more planks).

Shame, I enjoyed the lethal combat.

The "pool of water" requires you to get one piece of wood and use it as a raft for Ellie. The whole sequence lasts maybe 5 minutes. There are a few other parts of the game where you also need to help Ellie get to places, but compared to the overall run time of the game, they are few and far between. The fact that you seize upon these to explain why you hate the game so much is very interesting.

I'm so fucking hyped for this, the original along with Red Dead were by far my two favorite games of the last console generation...

 

[sullynathan]

To be honest, I wouldn't even mind if this game had platforming or actual puzzles. The things you did in the downtime as Joel with Ellie was pretty boring. Looks like they took the criticism about dumb AI companions and are only having you play as Ellie with no one to tag along. Good.

 

[Cadmus]

I don't know if it's cool to hate on this game or cool to like it right now but I tried playing it with a friend and it fucking pissed me off with the mopy little cunt, shit dialogue, shit muh emotional n-gagement and shitty console gay ass faggotty "stealth" and "crafting" and generally being a console game. It looked nice.

not a fan of those Ico moments, dawg. i didn't hate the game, just dropped it, and forgot about it. it would have been cool if you had to make the platforms (break something, shoot something down). it just killed the pace for me.

 

[A horse of course]

The ladder sections are rather odd, however. They're repeated so many times (albeit not in close proximity) over the course of the game in lieu of other possible puzzle mechanics that you have to wonder why they're even there. It's not like the game is shy about simply locking you into cutscenes or slowing movement to a crawl for the sake of lengthy conversations and plot "development", so it can't be that they exist for this purpose alone.

Fair enough.

Halley Gross made her mark writing and editing episodes of HBO's Westworld, and recently joined Naughty Dog as co-writer of The Last of Us: Part II.

"Halley's my kickass co-writer. Can't wait to share more of the story with y'all. Spoiler alert: it's intense," The Last of Us writer and director Neil Druckmann tweeted regarding Gross's addition to the team.

Anita Sarkeesian will be pleased. For now.

 

[Edward The Mediocre]

So the story will consist of multiple confusing 'timeframes', or involve shrink rays?

We want to draw out a dialog scene without building a bunch of map

They were going for realism in that game, and most puzzles aren't very realistic. That would be my guess anyway.

Of course their "in-depth" look at the game was just a cutscene.

Half the content of their "games" consists just of that.

 

[McPlusle]

"Half" is a conservative estimate.

 

[Cross]

Reminds me of the trailer for their last game, which they even boasted about as being live gameplay footage running on a real PS4.

 

[vota DC]

Will Lazy Dogs make ai attack the npc you are supposed to protect this time?

TLOU barely has cutscenes compared to gameplay

 

[ultimanecat]

You can say a lot of things about the game, but given that Ellie is semi-retarded during gameplay, it’s for the best the enemies ignore her outright.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

This is everything that is wrong with gaming. Can anyone say that a game where you see people violently attacking each other in disgustingly gruesome detail all the time, and where everyone is an insufferable sociopath, really makes for a good experience? NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T!

Somewhere along the way the industry forgot about this is supposed to be FUN, not to allow the douchebags tards who make this to feel edgy by making interactive b-movies, that would be viewed as passable as best and quickly forgotten, direct to video fodder if these were real films.

I don't give a shit about gritty ANYTHING.

Even Resident Evil 1 and 2 and Silent Hill 1 and 2 relied on suggestion, in what you could NOT see, more than on extreme dismemberment.

I could never play something like The Faggiest of Us in front of a family member like it was just some banal entertainment without looking deranged. There's something seriously wrong about the thought that things like these are banals to millions of young Millennials. And you wonder why they are so depraved and disgusting? Quite simply, it's garbage in, garbage out.
