Do you have any desire to replay Last of Us 2?
- Thread starter GundamStyle
- Start date
Finishing up Grounded right now. Tense as fuck, a couple of difficulty spikes obviously but not nearly as frustrated as I thought it would be especially considering I hadn't played it in over a year.
Also, 60 fps and the story is still masterful and beautifully told.

Been tempted several times to rebuy it digitally but will hold off to see if the TLOU Remake rumor is true.
I did for my plat run when the 60fps patch; will play again is that rumored full PS5 upgrade happens.
I replayed it once already. I have a custom difficulty save (smartest AI, highest damage, and low resources but not all the way low so I can have the occasional stress-free shootout) ready to jump into whenever I'm in the mood. Hasn't happened yet lol
Let's see when the remaster and multiplayer releases

I immediately started a new game after finishing it the first time on a higher difficulty. Which is saying something considering A: I rarely finish a game the first time and B: I wasn't a huge fan of the original.
Yeah I've played through it twice and I really wanna go through it again.
The first play through was awesome
My second NG+ run was full on catharsis
And I'd love to go again to round out some trophies. The only thing that's really keeping me from a replay is how long jackson feels.

If the rumor of TLOU getting a remake is true, I'll most likely replay 2 afterwards. Actually be interesting to see how I am with Abby at the beginning of the game because I couldn't stand her at first during my playthrough but by the end did a complete 180.
It was a hell of an experience the first time but I don't think I need to play it again. Just a bit too much rifling through drawers and reading hand written notes notes for me.
Unlike with the first game I like the gameplay so I've played it a few times. Not too hot on the story in either though.
I go back and play individual encounters from time to time. Combat in that game is a blast. Dunno if I'll ever do a full playthrough again. Maybe someday.
Not in it's current incarnation, but if they found a way to remove the player having to search for and pick up garbage everywhere, I might do it. It just drags down the pacing to a crawl that you have to open and search everything. Really poor design that basically consist of the player running along every piece of geometry, until there's something to pick up.
With out the crafting and thus without the built in pace killer, it would probably still be too long, but it would at least be much improved.

I didn't feel like replaying it right away because it's a pretty emotional and exhausting journey, I felt genuinely drained and depressed, and I say this as a huge compliment to the game, Part II made me feel things like no other game. It's one hell of an achievement!
I did my second playthrough several months later, which allowed me to better appreciate the incredible work done by Naughty Dog.

maybe in 2030 or later after i forget every level and most of the story, but i think there will be better shooting games and better stealth games to play by then
i almost never replay linear games until many years have passed
the action has to be really really good, and 3rd person cover shooter with controller headshots isn't that. it became an okay stealth game after the bow, but it's mostly about patience, not any decision-making
for these designs to work, there needs to be an actual tradeoff between fast/risky and slow/safe, but i didn't see any. raiding every cabinet for supplies is also boring. it's bad enough when every level is new and you're exploring/discovering where things are, but in an immediate replay it would just be memorizing
upgrading stats/weapons is the only choice. maybe that would provide a tiny amount of variety/change in a replay, but it's not enough.
it's also too long of a game, more interested in bombarding us with narrative and traversal quests rather than providing something replayable. which is fine because i didn't expect anything beyond that. i played it for the interactive movie, and that's what i got. i wish it was shorter, but oh well
ND has improved since the ps3 days, but they're still not making masterpieces. when uncharted was new and this great leap forward in narratrive/storytelling/presentation, i tried to replay that after beating it. i gave up very quickly. when you take away the puzzle of where to go next / how to get there and there's no mystery / suspense of what happens next, these games having nothing left

Yes. And I have done. And will likely do again. It's an awesome game.
Tbh there's only 2 kinda of games I can't imagine myself never replaying...those are games that are excessively long. The Witcher 3's, Skyrims and Fallouts of the world basically...and assassin's creed valhalla!...time sinks basically.
Or ironically interactive story type games like heavy rain, detroit or telltale games...you'd think the shorter lengths, dialogue choices and adaptive storylines would encourage replays. But I tend to feel like my first playthrough with my initial choices is MY story...and so I have absolutely no desire to see alternative paths.

No.
- Once you got the Platinum, have no desire to play it again.
- No extra contents (multiplayer, minigames a-la Mercenary or Days Gone's Challenge Modes, etc) in and/or outside of single player game.
- The storyline & theme is still mentally exhausting, although I probably don't care about it anymore now.
- Rather play other games or just watch professional YouTube playthrough instead for story/gameplay reminder.
I enjoyed the game when I played it. But really was a one and done for me. I have no urge to replay it.
No. I loved it but it was one of the most stressful and exhausting games I've ever played. Maybe if it was 10-15 hours long but 20+ was just too emotionally draining.
Yes and no. I want to play it again because I really liked it. But no, because goddamn it's long.
Nah, that story was fucked up and I don't feel like going through that again. Maybe when factions is a thing.
Tried replaying it this week. Couldn't really enjoy it a second time. :/
Replayed the shit out of P1. Dunno. Part 2 just doesn't feel fun to experience again.

Played it three times at release, now waiting for an announcement of anything TLOU to use as an excuse to replay it again on PS5.
They did do a PS5 patch that brought it up to 60 FPS if that's what you mean.
