DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Kidding, it's an excellent game. The first one didn't grasp me, maybe it has to do with missing its window of relevance but it just didn't capture very much of my interest. The way I look at this situation is like this, The Terminator and Terminator 2. The Terminator is hailed as a GOAT film, and while I agree it is good its period of relevance was before my time. Terminator 2 on the other hand was much bigger with far higher production values and overall a better film, and I was there from square one. That's the way I see these games, the first one is admittedly good but there's no sparks there between me and it. I can respect it but it's not something I particularly care about. This game however is actively becoming not some top #1 GOAT, but it is pushing its way into the category of what I would consider my favorite games, it's a large list but that doesn't displace anything else. It plays very well, it's well written and acted, the environmental layout is incredible and I actually feel something for the characters. It's a solid 9/10 game in my eyes. But it's still an 8/10 flop P.S. @Remij_ You need to flip the flop, it's good. Edited June 22, 2020 by DynamiteCop! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I never had any expectations for this one since I never played the first and really wasn’t even going to play it till like 2 weeks ago. Even then I thought I wouldn’t like it but so far it’s a hell of a lot better than I ever expected. I already know the spoilers so I don’t think there’s really anything left to disappoint me unless the gameplay starts becoming repetitive and boring I’m after the theatre and I just Spoiler Hit the 2nd flashback with Joel’s brother Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Holy shit, this guy is capable of something other than: XBOX NUMBA ONE This thread kinda reminds me of Terminator 2 actually, as per your OP. If you watch the directors cut, half way through the film they take his chip out to reset him and he becomes capable of learning and emotion. Is that what has happened here?

I literally know nothing story wise, not sure what the hell to expect now. Renovating my living room in my house which is where my playstation lives so I've got about two weeks left before I play it. I've never disliked anything ND have made. It has crossed my mind that perhaps they've pushed something too far, hard to say without knowing what that 'something' is.
