Current Events > If you ignore the graphics, TLoU2 is basically a DLC pack

(+) Yeah! (+)

Its exactly the same game as the original, gameplay wise, theyve just upped it to PS4 graphics. So disappointed

Wont comment on the story because I havent finished it but it sucks so far (about four hours In)

Isn't it like 20+ hours long

its a shooter. of course its more of the same.

no, it's not.

the gameplay improvements, on their own, might not feel significant, but combined, they give more fluid and involved gameplay.

it's kinda like the difference between MGS3 and MGS4, IMO.

Now this is actual content I can get behind.

I'm honestly still on the fence as to whether I want to get it. I confess that all the hooplah surrounding it (and info learned about ND's business practices) has me pretty cool about getting the game. Maybe in July some time once I finish Dead Prem 2.

If you ignore reviews, its basically a good game.

I wanted to say the difference between MGS2 and MGS3, but even though MGS3 did improve in some ways, going into menus did kinda break up the gameplay and it was sometimes annoying to do (I still love the game, though), but I haven't noticed anything like that in TLoU2

Weren't you a gamergater? Don't you ignore reviews by default? Sorry if I'm confusing you for someone else.

What gameplay improvements are there? Prone? Please

The enemy AI is way better in this game

Nice

dont fix what aint broke

Sadly it's not the same game.The same game would have had a much better story. And while the first game tried to make it's characters gray in morality this game throws us in the shoes of a villain protagonist whose horrible actions have no end.

It's a good game when you play it but sadly you are playing as a terrible person for most of the game.

So a story cant be good if the main character is a villain? That makes no sense

"Last of Us 1 is a movie. Barely any gameplay."

"Who cares about the gameplay in Last of Us 2? The story is depressing and stupid."

Of course it can if the character and story are fun. But she is just such an unlikable character who does so many terrible things that it's hard to like.

it's still a ladder simulator? Disappointing.

prone, jump, dodge, accessibility options

and the jumping and prone options can add dimension to combat and stealth encounters, as you can climb to higher vantage points, or crawl through some areas to lose line of sight (or just avoid combat altogether)

You not liking her doesn't mean that the story is bad though. In the movie Uncut Gems, the main character is an irredeemable piece of shit who screws over everyone around him but everyone still loves that movie anyway. A character doesn't need to be likable in order to tell a good story

Everything isn't "fun". I enjoy a lot of things that aren't "fun". The first game was not fun and I loved it.

I play other things when I'm looking for fun

You would probably like it. It's just not for me.

That's fair

Most game sequels are DLC packs with this logic.
