Now that the dust has settled, is it actually any good? dont care if its woke or problematic, just want a good story

>>712978978 (OP)
OP is a bigot sandwich

I thought the story was fine but nothing all that special. The gameplay on the other hand I found to be a lot of fucking fun. I started a second playthrough immediately after the first just cause I wanted to keep playing

>>712978978 (OP)
If you like getting mad it's awesomeness

>>712978978 (OP)
how do they even remaster a game that came out on the ps4 and looked fine

>>712978978 (OP)
just play it on youtube for free.

>>712978978 (OP)
No, its a really bad story, one of the worst writings I ever seen

>>712978978 (OP)
Cuckmann tried to copy MGS2 and failed horribly, he even admitted MGS2 was a huge inspiration but his execution was beyond awful. Also Bruce Straley was the real mastermind behind TLOU.

>>712978978 (OP)
>good story

>>712978978 (OP)
no

>>712978978 (OP)
Yes. Even if you end up disliking the story - the gameplay and presentation are top notch.

>>712979037
cant help it sorry
>>712979051
Mad because of the tomboy who killed joel?
>>712979114
i just heard the reason it supposedly sucks is because the other guy who worked on tlou 1 is gone and druckmann cant write for shit apparently

>>712979259
I personally don't enjoy playing as a trans thing

>>712979302
is she actually trans or just a buffed up woman?

>>712979259
I thought the story in last of us 1 was pretty good but I've seen better. The story gets a pretty big downgrade in part 2 though and I think you're right, the original writer leaving is probably why it got worse

>>712979337
she's just a buffed up woman

>>712979337
Who cares it's ugly.
There are plenty of ugly people why waste time making them in games?

>>712979478
its kinda unrealistic and stupid if everyone looks like a model. they dont have to look like men but its just as retarded as making high school movies in which everyone looks like a playboy actress

>>712979712
I had that problem with the show house. I don't think I've ever seen a doctor IRL that looked nearly as attractive as the doctors on that show

>>712978978 (OP)
okay story, good game.

>>712978978 (OP)
It's a navel-gazing narrative.

>>712979337
buffed up woman.
who then hangs out with a tranny, the one that gets punched by the fat biker guy.

also what >>712979114 said, the writing is so bad, pathetic, and miserable it makes shit like Other M look better. Infact the punch is the only worthwhile scene in the whole game.

>>712978978 (OP)
Nope, it still sucks.

>>712979337
Is this what people actually fuckin thought this whole time?

Jesus the poltards here really did win their psyop war.

>>712979139
>Bruce Straley was the real mastermind behind TLOU
This

>>712979337
Neither. It was actually a gorilla all along.

>>712978978 (OP)
I thought it was great when it came out and over time I've only come to appreciate it more. And maybe this doesn't mean much, but I sincerely think the storytelling and cinematography in this game is way, way better than 99.9% of whatever popular tv dramas that normies watch.

>>712978978 (OP)
No, don't bother

>>712978978 (OP)
The combat is pretty fun for the combined 3 out of 30 hours you experience it.

They cancelled Factions 2 twice, once because the game was too long and the 2nd time because they wanted to make Intergalactic instead. So the game automatically goes from an 8 to a 6

>>712983326
the directing is unmatched since the MGS games and carries it for sure, the writing itself has become a lot more full of itself though. It takes itself too seriously sometimes

>>712978978 (OP)
>Gameplay
Yes.
>Story
Absolute dog shit.

Describe the gameplay of TLOU to someone who never played

>>712978978 (OP)
Movement and combat is great. More exploration then the first game, level of detail is very good. Still had people leave notes just moments before the monsters get them but also has more visual story telling devices this time round. Story is basically a shitty late teen drama with lesbians thrown in and a background apocalypse. Joel got done dirty but Dina is unironcally a good waifu and literally cucks Ellie by getting her feet rubbed by the azn dude. Which is fucking funny because it's her motivation to go crazy.

>>712986249
Cope. I'm 7 hours in and it's been at least 4 of pure combat already

>TLOU Part I & II Remastered
Played on PS5, best videogames of this gen till now.

>>712986839
Skill issue

>>712979068
They don't. They add in a few tiny little details, maybe up the resolution or framerate and all the slop gobblers eat it up and pretend it's the greatest thing ever.

>>712978978 (OP)
this was the one game where I gave into the hate surrounding it and looked up spoilers for it. regret it now, the gameplay looked really good, and in retrospect we don't get many stealth games anymore, so having a good one be popular is good for the genre

Always found it puzzling they care so much about MAU but they've cancelled so many games, makes everything way too expensive and keep walking the same path.

>>712979068
By putting it in a box that says ps5 on it.

>>712978978 (OP)
the moral of the story boils down to revenge bad, there is no good or evil, both sides are same. It's full of platitudes. It's israeli propaganda.

Still it's well written well directed, has good acting, characters are good. It has many cliffhangers, intense moments, more relaxing or intimate moments. Gameplay has a good mix of inflitration, horror, action and does them well.

Overall story is not good, but everything else is solid.

>>712979259
that wasn't no tomboy that was a tranny.

so when is this slop going on sale? I won't play it for more than 20 dollars.

>>712986714
RE4 except the melee combat is just the QTEs

>>712986714
the first game is a bog standard 3rd person shooter. your character has a small arsenal of weapons, each of which are upgradeable. you collect generic "parts" or "scrap" and use them as an upgrade material. you can only upgrade at predetermined points throughout the game, so prior to NG+ you're going to go be suboptimal, even if you choose to focus on a single weapon. like weapon upgrades, your character has a small number of passive attributes that can be upgraded by collecting nutrition pills or something of the sort; these will allow you to do things like reduce weapon sway or increase the length of your "listen mode" (wallhacks).

there are a small number of enemy types, separated into two factions, humans and zombies.
with zombies, there are standard zombies, stalkers, screamers, clickers, and bloaters, each has a different minor attribute that makes handling them unique. for instance, clickers are effectively immune to normal melee attacks, can only be attacked with an off hand item like a brick or a melee weapon, whereas stalkers actively patrol an area and can catch you off guard if you're not aware of their movements.

there are an even small amount of human enemy types -- melee guy, shotgun guy, molotov guy
melee guy will run at you, molotov guy hides behind cover and throws molotovs, and shotgun guy can do a lot of damage at close range. enemy AI in this game is substandard, very easy to manage, even on the hardest difficulty.

in combat, your character can run, climb objects, use melee attacks, use a firearm, sneak, and do takedowns. stealth is barebones, enemies will not notice their fallen comrades, will not go on alert or alter patrol routes to compensate for lost crew. once you get caught, there is no cooldown period so it's either stealth or combat with no compromises. "sound" is important but it directly corresponds with how hard you push on the left stick; slower you go, the less sound you make. (1/2)

>>712986714
(2/2) all elements taken together, and the gameplay is quite basic. given the linear nature of the game, there are specific checkpoints in which you must engage in combat with a scripted enemy encounter, which usually restricts gameplay to a specific objective or solution. ultimately, I would say that the biggest drawback to this game is that it is highly scripted, and the mechanics aren't allowed to be used in emergent ways because everything is very controlled. for example, there's a moment during the campaign where you wander through an abandoned neighborhood when you get ambushed by a sniper. rather than allowing you to get a line of sight on him, like say, in MGSV (vs quiet), you are provided only one solution for this encounter, which is to make it to the house in which the sniper is positioned and take him out via a cutscene. in order to do that, you have to sneak through the neighbor hood and either stealth kill enemies or fight a large number of them in active combat.

there are very few places where zombies and human enemies ever interact because I guess it would've been too taxing on the system, which leaves much to be desired in terms of actual interactivity.

>>712979712
So you play games for accuracy to reality?

One of the best modern gore systems outside of that its pretty mod

>>712978978 (OP)
Misery porn wannabe cormac mccarthy bullshit. nothing about it is unique or special, and it's a slog to play through if you know anything about post apocalyptic fiction. You've seen it all before, and probably better. I recommend this shit to secondaries when I don't want to talk to them.

>>712978978 (OP)
If you want a good story then ignore it.

>>712978978 (OP)

>>712978978 (OP)
I am playing through it right now since I didn't get to play it on release cause I moved to PC, and I'm loving it but I literally feel like a female Nathan Drake, I think I've killed hundreds of WLF by now

>is it actually any good?

No. It has the same gameplay that all other AAA have + stealth sections and gore physics.

It's slop chief.
