This is some high praise from Videogamedunkey who didn't like Part 1. The whole video was engaging and to the point, best review I have seen so far.

Anyone missed this optional scene? Ashley Johnson did such a great job here

Yeah I truly felt that way by the end of the game. But I also still didn't care much about Abby or any of the new characters tbh, if that makes sense.

You could be right but my point still stands. Whatever shit they tried to sell you with Abby just isn't going to work, people just don't care about a character they have no attachment to who did something so terrible at the beginning of the game.

Yeah, there are issues with the story but these fake rumors and accusations are just pathetic. People doing that are probably the ones who actually have an agenda.

The more I think about it, the more I think ND should have went with a new cast of characters in Part 2, like how RE has a new cast every sequel. I mean the ending in Part 1 was perfect and there really isn't much story left to tell with Joel and Ellie unless you do something ridiculous like what happened. Especially if you really wanted to do the "both sides" theme, a new cast of character would have been a better way to do it. People are already too attached to Joel and Ellie. After what Abby did, ND trying to make us feel bad for her just isn't going to work, it'd just make people hate t

For what it's worth, I too didn't like the story but still beat the game over the weekend. I have avoided watching any video spoilers going into it but did accidentally read some text spoilers on Twitter. I still gave it a chance thinking that with the right context, it could turn out great.

Expected. But it's good that they can stop wasting money buying streamers.

Can't blame you. I enjoyed the game but the story is awful.

Lol this is such an oversight from ND given their attention to detail

By going stealth route, I mean minimal killing to get past an encounter. I tend to do stealth kills first (silencer, bows, stabbing/choking from the back) before I got spotted and just hunt down everyone.

I wonder how you guys approach encounters? Most of the time I just end up hunting down every single enemy so I get to explore the whole place in peace to find more ammo and loot. Does anyone go the stealth route?

You are probably safe at 14 hours. But read this at your own risk.

Damn I just keep going..now 16-17 hours in. Not really liking the direction they're taking with the second half. I think it's safe to say story sucks unless there is some unexpected pay off at the end. It's a shame cause the game looks and plays amazing.

10 hours in so far. Game looks absolutely beautiful, you just don’t get this level of detail in any other game. Animation is the real stand out here just as expected of ND, it just looks so good. I do wish there were an option to turn off the film grain though. Gameplay is on point and fluid resembling MGS5 which is a good thing. I’m not fully on board with the writing and execution yet, but it was engaging enough to keep me want to find out what happens next. Solid 9 so far.

Damn why can't a mainline Pokemon game look like this. I can't get excited for a game where you go around taking photos of Pokemons.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-06-17-the-world-of-grounded-is-completely-magical Lmao this might actually turn out good. Obsidian

Pokemon Smile, Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Cafe Mix

Lmao Series X looks worse in horizontal

Customizable plates would make it look really cool.

It's coming, it's heavily rumored that The Initiative is working on it. Halo Infinite gameplay, Fable and Perfect Dark trailers are the absolute minimum I expect out of the conference.

I don't see how MS won't deliver in the July Showcase. They are at least going to show Halo Infinite gameplay, Fable and Perfect Dark, these alone will get people hyped. Probably the next Forza will also be there and maybe a more in depth look at Hellblade. Unless they show no gameplay again, there is no way they are going to disappoint this time IMO.

Yup, having a performance option is actually great news and should be standard next gen. 4K 30fps for the highest visual fidelity possible but include a performance option to run games at 60fps at a lower graphic setting. This is the way to go next gen.

Wasn't that Vivendi?
