The trick is don't try and make a game you think everyone is going to love.

A masterpiece happens when developers create what they want in their vision and not for fans as fan service.

Playing The Last of Us Part II Is Different After Watching The Show

Has HBO’s The Last of Us show changed fans’ thoughts on Naughty Dog’s sequel, The Last of Us Part II? Maybe.

"Everyone in the world of The Last of Us sequel is miserable in one way or another. I mean, it’s the end of the world, we understand that, but there came a time when the game felt like it was written by Garth Ennis – and that’s not always a good sign."

It is not close to feeling like Garth Ennis's comic book style. Garth is a good writer and his writing isn't all tension either, and the same with Druckman's Last of Us II. In romantic comedies, there are comedic tension and rejection with bouts of misery. In dramas, there are bouts of comedic relief among tension, which are also in the game and this awareness is a good sign.

In the end, everyone dies and everyone is miserable at some point in time, even more so in an apocalypse. However, life is mixed with happy moments while entropy is moving in the background, such as a nice time with family and laugh shared amongst friends and so on, which are in the game.

probably waiting for the new season to air

just_looken51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Your right as soon as the hype wheel is ready for that show there going to drop it on pc.

But the real question is will this pc port be able to run 1080p on a 4090 as the last naughty dog pc port they helped make it was a dumpster fire.

Like i said before the current naughty dog team is just a glorified port studio but even then they have a hard time actually doing it right.

Yes ps blind boys naughty dog worked on pc ports

Looken

Your information is good but you need to stop calling names and start trying to have a real conversation. Fanboys of any product are extreme but that doesn't mean vast majority of gamers are just that "gamers"

... and the water's wet
But I'd prefer the Uncharted trilogy port over this one, tbh
Just porting Uncharted 4 and 4.5 to PC was not the best idea.

Inverno51d ago

Water isn't wet, but definitely want he Uncharted trilogy on PC.

truthBombs51d ago

Original Uncharted trilogy is my fav of the series. That is a worthy port to PC not 4 imo

just_looken51d ago

No doubt they need more help as the og's left the building so the uncharted 1-3 port would take actual skill/knowledge along with the source code/audio files/voice files.

If only niel D lost didn't loose over 80% of the team that made the company he is "running" and turned into a port studio.

Doge51d ago

It'll probably be announced and released on Friday.

Inverno51d ago

Yeah it could be a game fest announcement and release.

fsfsxii51d ago

Hope the PC crowd enjoy 4 year old leftovers lmao

DustMan51d ago

The PC master race looks down upon you mockingly knowing they are in every way superior gamers to you console simpleton.

ocelot0751d ago

Even the ones that have a £50 dell Optiplex and put in a 1650 that's weaker than a series S?

RaidenBlack51d ago

@ocelot07
Yes,
Atleast they dont make comments like the above.

truthBombs51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

for everytime you say that, the library of PS games on PC grows bigger. This year, Helldivers 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, GOW Ragnarok has a release date for this year and now TLOU2? Hmm.

Potentially 6 titles in one year. It keeps stacking.

Aphrodia51d ago

DON'T FORGET ABOUT CONCORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Cockney51d ago

Pc guys are loving it right now, banger after banger its one hell of a year

just_looken51d ago

If only the new sony leadership was not hell bent on region locking down there pc games to avoid better sales and get more ps accounts even though pc players do not want a jank exposed ps account that has all there personal info ready for another data breach and or just gets sold off.

I still and will never link my old ps account to my steam account the sony tos is to strict i do not want to get my ps account banned because i left my vpn on or sony things rgb is a hacker tool or some other BS.

Tedakin50d ago

When TLOU2 is announced, Spider-Man 2 will be pretty much the only notable PS5 first party game not on PC.

Lmao you probably bought this twice because ps5 have nothing good to play. My backlog of games is too big for me to even care it exists on PC let alone how bad the first one launched on PC. Sony wouldn’t be releasing it on pc if they didn’t need $$$

PrinceOfAnger51d ago

Will you enjoy Gears 5 and Sunset over drive + Ori games on PS5 after 3/5 years?

That’s how it is with most movies. Why should it be any different with games?

Eonjay127d ago

It could also be that development cost were just very very low.

Kaii128d ago

I think it's about time for government agencies to step into mobile gaming and look around, this is shit.

just_looken127d ago

Do not worry 82yr old joe biden is on it he will have 88-100 year old friends in the government to fire up there talky box's.

The_Hooligan51d ago

There definitely should be an age limit on politics. I mean the full retirement age is 67 so why do we have people in their 70s and 80s in politics. I think the cut-off age should be 70 if not 75 and that's it. We got politicians who can't even form a sentence, stand up straight, walk down a flight of stairs but somehow are in charge of making decisions for everyone.

just_looken51d ago

@hool

100% correct but looks like another 4 years of either a 80yr old or a felon that wants a purge to happen

franwex51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

You’re not the target audience. They know you won’t download it and pay micro transactions, so why spend money marketing to you?
