This fog is expensive: The Last of Us Part II Remastered review - PLAY!

The Last of Us Part II Remastered doesn't offer much for the money it's asking for. If you are a fan of the series, you must have passed Part II by now and have your own opinion about the game. The remastered version will not change your mind either for the better or for the worse.

Finally an accurate review not afraid to tell it like it is.

Eonjay526d ago

Just think critically, the Meta is 90 so this score is 50 points off the average and 30 points lower than the next lowest score? Also, as someone who does software development work, I cringe whenever an entitled person claims someone shouldn't be paid for their work... I mean its 10 freaking bucks. Free is great but I don't expect anyone to do work for free.

Crows90526d ago

We all know why the meta is 90. Just look at movie reviews...how often is the meta the opposite of users...

jwillj2k4526d ago (Edited 526d ago )

No one asked for this feature and you called it v2.5 when it should have been called v2.01. Should have been dlc.

Stanjara526d ago

They are first party studio, they are not working for free.

Ironmike526d ago

U lost credibility soon as u mentioned meta I be buying it cos its only going cost me ten quid but 39 is steep

Cacabunga526d ago

Stop the bias, this game is a disaster I hated it the more I played it. Been waiting for things to happen but gave up halfway.

I understand those who like it, but compared to the first one it’s cat pi**

H9525d ago

Average score is not what you wanna go with, I don't care how good you think any product is, any list of reviews that doesn't have scores from 0 to 100 is not accurate, you can't convince me that no matter how good you think this game is, do you really think 70 should be the lowest score

rippermcrip526d ago

72 positive reviews, 3 mixed reviews and 1 negative review.... and you clowns think this 4/10 is the only accurate review. The reviewer even admitted they were only scoring the "DLC" which doesn't make any sense to do in this case because it isn't DLC.

The same salty with no life green minion that's been using a thousand alt accounts was the one who posted this article here using my profile name.
I don't know what he's smoking but I'd never post this type of clickbait article when TLOU franchise is one of my most beloved.

NotoriousWhiz526d ago (Edited 526d ago )

You won't fool me AloyMetai! /s

CobraKai526d ago

It seems like with anything, the negative review is always the “tells it like it is” review.

Terry_B526d ago

yeah..and its always the worst review that gets the most views on N4G and lands on top of the frontpage. This is pure Satire.

DarXyde526d ago

I can't read it because it isn't translating for me, but what makes it an accurate review?

Besides telling us you agree with it. Whether or not you like the themes of the game or agree with it being remastered, this game is incredibly well made. It was immaculate on PS4 and this is a better version of the same game.

I'm not personally interested and I will be skipping this one because the PS5 patch of the original is good enough for me and I don't really care about the new game mode, but to act like a 4/10—a score I contend is reserved for glitchy, broken, boring messes with bad gameplay—is "accurate".

I'm tempted to say you're out of your gourd, but I am curious about your reasoning.

BurritoWarrior525d ago

They’re basing this review off of how they feel about the remaster rather than how good the gameplay, story, immersion game as a whole and offering is.

Id say 7/10 at worst. 4/10 is bs imo

Christopher526d ago (Edited 526d ago )

[wrong place]

BeHunted526d ago

To be honest, it’s basically the same game. They could’ve updated it with a patch.

CobraKai526d ago

They did update it with a patch ironically.

MrNinosan526d ago

Same with Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Spider-Man 2 etc.... right?

Terry_B526d ago

Ah..that one review from Bosnia that makes the round because they gave it a 4 /10 and people make fun about the review and some xbox fans use it for their consolewar schticks ;-) I am approving this submission for the laughs in the comment section.

Elda526d ago (Edited 526d ago )

That score is BS. The game is basically for people that own a PS5 & never played TLOU2. The remaster has extra stuff & it's only $50 for newcomers. If one wants to save $20, Walmart has the game for $20 & buy the $10 upgrade which would come out to $30 plus tax. Saying the game is a 4 out of 10 is ridiculous.

Ironmike526d ago

The game its self is fantastic no doubt but its only 50 quid its a few yr old game its got a few little xtras but 50 is not a small amount of money its cos we all being brain washed to accept 70 as acceptable its not

Elda526d ago

TLOU Part 1 PS5 version was $70 with the dlc included. TLOU2 Remaster is $50 with extra stuff which imo is a better deal & if you have the PS4 disc it's only $10...an even better deal. Again this remaster version is for PS5 owners that never played the game, for folks that played TLOU2 already shouldn't be worried about this remaster.

If true, this is why Sony keeps making them. A lot of "gamers" might complain or cry about it. But as long as these things keep making money, they will keep doing it and ignore all those complaining online

neutralgamer199229d ago

You are absolutely correct end of fbe day money talks and so far their remastered/remakes have generated a lot of money

Lightning7729d ago

So y'all are more worried about a companies pockets than your own entertainment? Are you pretending to like the same game being re-realeased each year?

CosmicTurtle29d ago

Nobody said anything like this above.

S2Killinit29d ago

No that is not what they are saying. People want to play these games. But, We have a minority of people who think they speak for everyone.

Redemption-6428d ago

Da fuck are you talking about? When did I say or even imply that?

👆👆So said a CoD player 🤣

Edit: now I’m curious as to how the halo tv series affected the sales of the halo game 🤔

Lightning7729d ago

@cosmic That's pretty much implied. Keep doing the same thing because it makes the company money forget my entertainment as long as they get richer. Instead of demanding more. If this was anyone else there would be backlash and it would be real that's a fact.

In a nutshell yes that is good the game is getting more attention more than ever thanks to the show I understand and acknowledge that. I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it.

Chevalier29d ago

"I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it."

Nah this is just short sited idiocy. Remasters and re-releases are a thing because the cost of making games is out of hand.

Also a large portion of these sales are to completely new customers. Add in that it's very profitable as shown by these sales. So that's 3 solid reasons to do what they did.

anast29d ago

If true this means that game companies would need to make a successful mini-series for every remaster to pull these kinds of numbers.

Lightning7728d ago (Edited 28d ago )

"Allot of gamers my complain and cry" it's literally in your own freakin words kid... How come nobody can see.. It's n4g not the brightest ppl in the world after all. That much as always ring true.

"👆👆So said a CoD player 🤣"

I don't play COD. What are you talking about? Yeah idc about halo TV or anything like that.

"Nah this is just short sited idiocy.'

Says the number on guy in that category. More money in remasters means more remasters... Simple

Cool let's all pretend to get excited for another game that doesn't need a remaster. You freakin fanboys ruin everything with yalls corporate boot licking BS....

Will HBO make a season 3 without Sony? They did with Game of Thrones after all.

S2Killinit29d ago

Why would they make it without Sony?

Grilla29d ago

I thought part 2 was 2 seasons, seasons 2 and 3. Season 4 wouldn’t have any source material unless ND made part 3 by then.

88329d ago

SPOILER (sort of):

Season 2 did not come close to completing the story of the 2nd game...

StormSnooper29d ago

They will continue the story passed what was created for the games. Sony is the one making the series. Is it possible that the series goes in a new direction? Yeah. But who knows.

LucasRuinedChildhood29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

@StormSnooper

Neil Druckmann said in an interview with Colin Moriarty that they're not going beyond the story of TLOU2 for the show.

Relientk7729d ago

You definitely didn't watch the show. They split the 2nd game into two seasons. If you played the 2nd game it actually makes sense.

lukasmain28d ago

It will be 3 season for game 2. Ending after season 4

franwex28d ago

You’re correct. I saw the first season, but I lost interest in the second season. Not due to the controversy of the second game-I actually like it. Mostly due to not being in the mood for a downer of a show at the moment. But I’ll check it out later.

lukasmain28d ago

Game 2 will finish in the show by the time season 4 ends. And no, they won't go on after that. Not unless there is another game

MrNinosan28d ago

Season 2, 3 and 4 will cover The Last of Us Part 2.

And no, Sony and Neil will be there all the way.

Scissorman29d ago

This isn't an argument for the low-hanging fruit, but this here is exactly why Sony - and others - will keep producing them. Dev costs are low. Profitability is high. It's low risk, high reward. And given the skyrocketing costs in the AAA space, projects like this help fund future titles. I don't like it, and I'd much rather Sony - and others - release new titles, but I sure as hell understand why it happens.

anast29d ago

A mini-series had to be made for this to happen.

PhillyDonJawn29d ago

Whats the point of making new games when you can keep releasing old ones 😂 they keep buying so why not?

S2Killinit29d ago

Soooo all those people talking trash are pretty surprised eh?

They want to tell you what yo think, who to hate and what to buy.

Review - The Last of Us Part II: Remastered (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "The Last of Us Part II: Remastered is a beautiful mess. An ambitious title that had all the right ingredients, but didn’t always pan out the way it should. The excellent survival action gameplay that showcases humanity’s brutality is often let down by a story that is trying too much and has poor pacing. Thankfully, Part II’s debut on PC improves on the last game, making it the best place to play, even with its imperfections."

If the story is deeply flawed to the blogger and it's a story game, how does the blogger justify giving it a 9? A deep flaw is unacceptable in any part of the game. If everything else was perfect, it would be an 8 game. Deep flaws are foundational issues.

Let me help:

Graphics: 10

Sound: 10

Story: 8 (Overreliance on flashbacks. While the story beats are properly paced and the plot points are generally pacy, it tries to tell 2 stories at once, which led to a structural issue in the overall story, but despite this the message and mood are striking relevant.)

Gameplay: 8 (Turning in the game is awkward and it gets in the way or searching for stuff and the quick turn in combat doesn't feel intuitive.)

Overall: 9

PhillyDonJawn29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

How tf a game with 8 gameplay and 8 story get a 9 overall? Graphics and sound does not! Make up for that. Gameplay and story hold way more weight than graphics and sound.
