It would help a lot in situations similar to what they showed in the demo. Where the enemy AIs are always walking around in pairs. I have a feeling they're going to be extremely rare tho.

Finally.....FINALLYIn the crafting menu there's a pistol with a suppressor attached to it. You couldn't attach suppressors in TLoU1 could you?
I really like what they've done with the UI overall. Very clean.
Nothing about the violence seems like an out there extension of the first. I do think the attention to detail and generation leap is probably making this harder to swallow. It seems a little more violent, but nothing that I didn't probably already assumed happen in the universe of the first game.
I'm sure some adjustments can be made to the 'gratuitous' violence if ND is concerned by the response.

Why not? It's not an unreasonable thing to lie about, and many Developers lie. Anyone who has a job has to lie about their work. I just said I don't really buy it. I mever said he lied to anyones's face.
But I don't care too much anyway, and it's not like I said you were a liar so I'm not sure where this tone's coming from.
The point was that with excpetion to this Demo they've been relegating gay characters to hints and side-content, which isn't that progressive.
And besides, this whole thing was talking about the likelihood of them repeating the "bury your gays" trope. I was making the point that, while they've included gay characters, there's no reason to think that they're beyond that trope. Heck they've litteraly done it twice before in this series already.
Uhg
The one thing I wanted them to ditch were the crafting and upgrade mechanics
Naughty Dog please hire me as your consultant

I'm really happy by that, Naughty Dog would have probably spoiled something major if they decided to use a set-piece instead. Like when they spoiled the best set-piece in Uncharted 4.
I mean after game of thrones and walking dead, I'm sure everyone and their mothers would see this and be like "okay"
Why does every single game with open areas need light and shallow crafting mechanics?
Gonna wait until tomorrow. That's when the majority will be up lol.
But TLoU actually does them well, unlike most games. I could live without the upgrade system, though.
The reactions on here for this are a lot less tame in comparison to Reddit and the GameFAQs PS4 board. Jeez...
For real, some of you are married to the idea you need crafting for any type of quasi open environment game and that it some how makes for a better combat system.
They should have kept the combat system from the original demo where weapons were disposable, and I would have taken it a step further to the point where crafting is an out of combat activity only or something that makes noise which will give away your position.
Hopefully there is no character and weapon upgrade system, but I doubt it.

Good. That means we're progressing as a medium. We can no longer sit back and disaffectedly no-scope people in the head. Violence should make one uncomfortable.
It was intuitive, didn't require pausing to a menu, and felt really good.
What? Most don't. Also TLoU does their crafting well.
Without the crafting in TLoU there's zero point in scavenging around. It's not shallow either, basic? Sure, but it's always at a cost to something of pretty much equal value, but offers a completely different benefit.
Like MedKit or Molotov.
Tlou kinda of a stealth survival horror game so I feel the crafting fits well. One of my favorite parts of the original game was managing my resources and planning my tactics based on those resources.
It amazes me how ND can be so far ahead of everyone else in storytelling and facial expressions. They're games are ALIVE. Graphics looks insane in this game.
My only concern would be that the gameplay might be too repetitive. This has been one of my few criticisms of Uncharted. Never felt that way about The Last of Us, though, and I'm sure ND has learned a lot since then too.

Oh wow, so it was a lesbian kiss scene inside a church?
Dang, ND. Bold.
I said that because he responded to the whole controversy explaning that Laura was already hired before they had the character design. It was later on (iirc this part) that Neil was going through a couple of character designs and he really liked the one we ended up getting.
That's why not buying that is basically saying that he lied.
Anyway, you'd be hard pressed trying to find many AAA devs at the stature of ND that are as progressive as they've been since they released TLOU. Neil being the precursor of it.
This looked unbelievable. Easily my game of the show. It looked so good it has lots of people in the conference thread thinking the gameplay was all scripted when it clearly wasn't.
Will be fun seeing reactions when that realisation hits certain people later down the line. But that's how you gauge just how polished and competent the gameplay and animations really are, when it's so good people confuse it for being scripted.

Don't want to link to toxic threads, but this is the gist of it:
Catering to a "certain" demographic
The "Les" of Us
The term SJW is being thrown around a lot
Joel better be playable or I ain't buying
Promoting same-sex relations is NOT OK, but OK with violence and gore
Etc.
Got serious OG TLOU vibes back from this. Except darker. This should be a very intense game. Cant wait. The gameplay looked phenomenal. So fluid.
Took a quick peek out of curiosity and...I don't know what I expected.
They can skip on the game and it's no skin off my back.
It did nothing for me.
I am glad it wasn't just a CGI trailer but I dunno, I am glad it focused on the story and told us a bit about Ellie but I dunno.
It just didn't wow me as much as I wanted to. Like I wanted something more but I don't know what. Maybe more story details or some new gameplay feature if there was one.

Sad but also expected .
Just happy ND said fuck you to all those type of people .
They did that for a reason. Didn't you hear the girl in the dance hall?
These moments were picked for a reason. Its going to be the central struggle of the narrative I bet, what this world has done to Ellie, especially after Joel.
Ita gonna be serious and its going to be brutal, but also necessary. If you find joy in it, seek help.
"Don't shove large gay things down my throat," SJWs, pandering, etc. There is actually somewhat of a balance of upvotes for people who are reasonable.
But everyone lost someone they loved in the first game. That's part of the theme. Joel lost Tess and his daughter fought to save ellie so she didn't die. The black dude lost his brother. Ellie lost Riley. The black chick lost... Tess, I guess? Idk about her.
