All in all I switched over to PC in the last couple of years and waited for this release. Looking forward to it.

got_dam79d ago

It's a good game. Not perfect, but a worthy sequel IMHO. Not a popular opinion, though.

Babadook779d ago (Edited 79d ago )

I loved it also. Very gritty story, great tactical gameplay, and superb visuals.

The PC version (at launch) reportedly has a few issues.

anast79d ago

You're in for a treat. If I had a 4090 rtx or 5090 rtx, I would be all over this.

gold_drake78d ago

its a fantastic story, have fun :)

CrimsonWing6979d ago (Edited 79d ago )

I know this is going to piss off so many people, and trust me I get it, Joel is one of my favorite game characters, but I honestly liked this even more than Part 1. And I consider Part 1 one of my top games of all time.

Hot take, but just how cruel and mean this world is that no character is safe, just adds it to me, plus the flashback sequences dug in harder because of how bad you wish something like that didn’t happen.

And as crazy as this is, I liked Abby better than Ellie. Like she had a hell of an arc.

LoveSpuds79d ago

Not quite with you on your preference for Abbie, although I did really like her character and arc, but agree with you on everything else. The sequel is an absolutely stellar title!

DarXyde78d ago

I agree. Part II gets a lot of hate because it does lean into a lot of woke themes, but I thought it told a much better story than Part I.

Part I was very emotional and told a great story about bonds and the lengths you go for those you love.

Part II was raw. An absolutely mad story about the cycle of violence and cost of revenge.

I kind of hope there is no Part III. Cycle of violence is pretty damn difficult to top.

gold_drake78d ago

I like both quite alot, but part 2 hit me abit different.

but i never liked abby, her voice actress yes, cause shes one of my favs, but ugh i hated abby with a passion ha

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

neutralgamer199225d ago

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

Lightning7725d 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?

CosmicTurtle25d ago

Nobody said anything like this above.

S2Killinit25d 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-6424d 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 🤔

Lightning7725d 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.

Chevalier24d 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.

anast24d 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.

Lightning7724d ago (Edited 24d 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.

S2Killinit25d ago

Why would they make it without Sony?

Grilla25d 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.

88325d ago

SPOILER (sort of):

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

StormSnooper24d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

@StormSnooper

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

Relientk7724d 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.

lukasmain24d ago

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

franwex24d 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.

lukasmain24d 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

MrNinosan24d 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.

Scissorman25d 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.

anast24d ago

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

PhillyDonJawn25d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago

Soooo all those people talking trash are pretty surprised eh?

Eonjay25d ago

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

PhillyDonJawn25d ago (Edited 25d 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.
