You mean the PS4, right? I reckon Naughty Dog will release a separate 'factions' game. Ala, something a lot like the mercenaries mode in the RE games that got its own game eventually through high demand...

I think Naughty Dog stated there would be no DLC. That's a pity, as I think they originally intended to include a multiplayer mode. I don't know if they meant the overall game, or just the battle mode type gameplay that was in the first one. But co-op in this type of game, if done properly, would be so peachy. 😎

All the best, Fierce_LiNk. Will you be broadcasting online?

Ah, man. "Too long, didn't read" = Johnny 5: need input. At least acknowledge what I said about the HBO series. 🤔 Nah, I am kidding. But still! 😜 Why do people moan so incessantly about the game's theme? "OMG. They did this and this and this! Meh, I hate Naughty Dog! I won't buy their games from now on. It hurts. Now I cannot go on. The self-destruct sequence begins in 0.5 seconds." 🐕 It's not supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows for these characters. It's a harsh world full of death and chaos where every hour could be your last (or last of us - ha). Plus, it's just like a certain famous TV show that does the same concept, VERY WELL, mind you. Or what about films, games and books that have used the same premise over and over again for years? Oh my God. Use your brains (directed at the haters only) because you have one for thinking. 🤭

While the fans on Reddit get accused of being "haters" and whatnot, I've found that site to be quite articulate (not to mention, way more active) than 98% of all other lame forums I post on. They're sympathetic towards other fans who aren't happy about the outcome of the story and the supposed lying from Naughty Dog. Plus, there's forums on there for pretty much everything. Of course, do expect to encounter some bad moderators and arrogant members, just like on every other website. I did take a quick look on GameFAQs, and they're generally being open minded about the game as well. Like, some people don't like it over this, that and the third, but at least they're actually saying why that is. And yes, folks. To anybody who bullies Laura Bailey on social media due to Abby, that's just so wrong. She's a bloody professionally contracted voice actress. She doesn't need these online man babies threatening her life, all for playing a character who few people like. It's not real life. She's playing a part in a game. Duh! By the way, is anybody still interested in the upcoming HBO series? Would you be turned off by it if the story incorporated themes from the sequel as well as the original game? Well, maybe I would be, but I guess they have to stay faithful to the mediums that establish the lore. Unless it's like the Resident Evil live action movies, that totally disregard what occurs in the video games as being canonical.

While I can see why the story bothered a lot of fans, it's like they put the plot over everything else this game achieved. Namely the awesome gameplay and stunning graphics. I think people just wanted the same sweetness of the original. Upon finding out it was anything but that, the floodgates were opened. It's sad that few users criticized the game normally. Although I can see why the false advertising was offensive too.

This stream about it tonight was great! 🐶

Go on YouTube then.

IGN = 10/10. Nearly everyone else = 0/10. On IMDb, it has like a 7.5 overall. 🤑 I heard Amazon and Metacritic are removing the negative reviews. What happened to freedom of expression? 😏 My score... Graphics: 10/10. 😎 Gameplay: 8/10. 😜 Story: 4/10. 😭 🦒

If you are interested, Michael Does Life is going on the air soon. We usually talk about Resident Evil Village, but tonight it's going to be also about The Last of Us Part II as well.

When did I post spoilers? I was talking about the gameplay.

Well, you have to use a rope sometimes to reach parts you otherwise cannot get to. Other than that, there's not many new additions to the general gameplay. The bombs in the first game that Bill introduced you to at his hideout, got replaced by these other bombs. Only Abby uses them, as they are military made. You still use the same guns and improvised weapons, though. So I wouldn't say there's a great deal that's all that new to the sequel. 😑 In terms of the story, a lot of fans are not happy about it. Never have I been so disappointed with a game. 😭

Depression set in for me after finishing the game. It's too dark. Although I always did say that certain other survival horror games began to lack that approach, and have gotten repetitive and cheesy. But this game was a lot to take in. I can see why it's not for everyone...

Are you disappointed that the multiplayer mode was removed? Playing in co-op would have been utterly fantastic, giving the amount of enemies, locations, and more. I've never actually played the original game's faction yet, although it wasn't canonical...

I do not really like the darker theme of this game, but I can see why it's not supposed to be a "happy story" for the player. There's definitely tons of The Walking Dead vibes throughout. For obvious reasons that are already widely known by now, any fan of the first game will probably have to try to be accepting of the big changes in store to gain any enjoyment. It's not easy to face up to that fact, but it's the truth. And to be honest, I don't like Neil Druckmann's perceived sarcasm on Twitter now that he's aware of all the hateful feedback on websites such as Metacritic. Unfortunately, if I don't take to a story in a game otherwise, or it saddens me, I cannot see that feeling diminishing with subsequent runs. So I can say personally that I won't be playing it again any day soon for that reason...

Graphically, this has to be the MOST impressive video game on the PS4 overall. Every area you explore is amazingly detailed. Some of the enemy models are repeated I think, which was somewhat disappointing. I kept seeing the same looking black woman with a bow. However, they were very realistic looking, so I won't complain too much about those aspects. Unfortunately, the story wasn't anywhere as great as the first game, which was flawless. All of that was thrown out of the window with this follow-up, after a decent first 20 minutes, but it picked up here and there. The story though was so dark, and I can see why it will definitely upset a lot of fans of the original. That isn't to say I think the game is by any means "crap" after finishing it, but it seemed like the plot was rather all over the place at times with the disjointed story, and the gameplay seemed sluggish, or next to unfair and dodgy for the most part. Not to mention, it was generally a violent mess overall, and the plot didn't portray the slayings as having any real purpose, other than being the result of somebody's anger induced brutality. All in all, it was a decent game, but vastly bleak in terms of what it set out to do. But in any case, here's my review of the game on my YouTube channel. Do note there's a lot of spoilers throughout, and I made comparisons to similar survival horror games, since I play many franchises in that sub-category.

Hey, I got it on Amazon no problem. I reside in Edinburgh.

I'd recommend avoiding YouTube for the next few days, as many users are putting spoilers in the titles of their recently published videos, which for some reason, Google haven't censored. Well, I guess the game is already available in certain countries, which makes that act of trying to ruin it for randoms on the Internet, seem "okay" to them.

Oh yeah. My bad! 🤐

This Friday! 😮

How come this gets so much hate? It's like The Last of Us on wheels. A really long and fun game, but also very difficult in parts. I would love to get a sequel someday.

Ma'am is out for blood on 19 June, 2020! Be careful. Oh, and this game is bigger than Days Gone, from what I heard. Oh my goodness. How is that feat even possible? Much love, folks.

What's your favourite side game in Left Behind? Is it throwing bricks at the cars, trying to defeat Blackfang in your imagination, or soaking Riley with a water gun? I love this game. Anybody who calls it a "movie game" and all that jazz, should get on back to 4chan. It's an insult, really, to everything Naughty Dog and Sony have worked on.

If the cult in Silent Hill still exists, do you think they will target Cheryl again? I feel like Konami won't ever use these characters again, which is sad. A soft reboot isn't actually supposed to disregard the rest of the series, but only the third game was a true sequel to the original. The rest were mostly disconnected, in that they had references, but that was about it. So this is something I think they could do. However, companies for some reason get bright ideas to reset everything in the continuity department when time moves on, so what ain't making them money now, just gets ignored. Right? Maybe Cheryl has a child now, and she has to protect the child. I don't know. There's something Konami could pull to continue her story. I wonder if Pyramid Head will be "killed off" someday. He shouldn't be misused either.
