The Last Of Us Part 2 Gameplay Reveal
- Thread starter Strafer
- Start date
The problem I have with the message of the other user is that he says women with certain traits are almost always lesbians in games. The thing with Ellie is that she was already a lesbian before she had most of these so called lesbian traits. She wasn't that tough in the original. It's also not weird that women become reay tough in this worls, because they also hsve to fight and survive.
I know there is a problem in the industry concerning sexuality of women, but that's not the case here imo.
In terms of stealth, yes, in terms of gunplay (vs TLOU) no, and in terms of mobility and verticality (vs UC) also no. They all excel in different areas.
The gameplay looked absolutely mental, but I think a lot of it had to do with how they "showed" the scenario. Just like with the first game, the game will just not play out for most players like it did in the trailer. It never does of course, but I feel like a lot of the amazing stuff they showed here was highly dependant on it being played like an E3 demo.
That being said, I'm moreso excited to see the multiplayer here. Is it still planned? The first game was a happy surprise in terms of the multiplayer and the gameplay just clicked in that mode. Hoping the same for Part II.

would you have said the same thing if Ellie was straight and they flaunted a straight sexuality in the trailer?
Actually this is my criticism of stealth in general and its unfortunate that naughty dog employs the same mechanics literally seen in just about every other game with stealth
Enemies circulate a route, you hide in grass.
Enemies are aware of your existence so they split up or foolishly play a game of hide and seek. They get picked off one by one. Literally looks like when youd play with your dad and he pretends to not know where you are
Its definitely awful and pulls me out of the experience
Last time around, with the previous trailer, we had a 50+ page thread bemoaning how violent it was.
Looks phenomenal. The enemy AI looks pretty damn sophisticated as well. My only question is were are all of the infected?
Yeah that looked pretty good.
But I am not sure why but the tent scene looks kinda unfinished. The character model quality there seems a step down from Uncharted 4.
The actual gameplay looked better than the cinematic, which is weird to me.

I didn't.
Even tried to avoid killing the one with the scalpel. Tried firing over his head. (He flinches but stands his ground.) Eventually settled for shooting him in the foot. The game didn't allow for that possibility though, so he went down like he'd been shot in the head.
What? You can't even crouch in UC on command, let alone go prone like in MGSV.
I enjoyed TLOU a great deal (UC4 considerably less), but for my money MGSV still has the absolute best TPS mechanics of any game.
Hmmm, I think perhaps I wasn't clear.
I have no issue with the violence quantity or it's context or reason for existing. My main gripe comes from execution taking away the power of this contextual violence. The Last of Us ISN'T parody. It's a wholey serious game. But the ease at which you're able to compete with the black plague in death toll makes the entire thing broken in my eyes. I don't wanna feel like I can win every encounter by sneaking off just before the white indicator line disappears (over and over again). I don't want a character that can withstand more punishment than a Nintendo fan on E3 day (love y'all). I want to feel like killing a bad guy is the very last resort, and that stealth is earned -- not gifted.
I'm also asking way too much. Haha. At the end of the day, it's a videogame, and so it's cinematic qualities will suffer in order to provide gamers with a fantasy power trip of some kind.
I see your point and yeah; representation is representation
Butch lesbians have been portrayed negatively when they have been, so I suppose a more heroic portrayal was way past due
And yeah, I do get the problem of having representation but then making sure it still appeals to straights
On a lighter note, pick up truck or Subaru for Ellie? lol
I absolutely love the shooting in TLoU. Super weighty with every bullet feeling like it's going to end you. Easily the best gunplay in a TPS. Can't wait to play this game on hard. Hopefully the resources are as limited as the first game.
I was actually really surprised by how good the kiss was if I'm honest.
I mean in a technical sense I thought the lip placements, motions and sound made for the most realistic kiss I have seen in a game. One that didn't just look like two character models pressing their lips together with clipping.
Can't believe the blatant homophobia by some of the comments I have seen here, not surprising to see it happen but in how clear it is. I figured the 'pushing the agenda' card was too obvious for people to use anymore.

Hot take about some small thing in the video
Is the glass with the female character face that Ellie gets thrown into in the women's beauty store just a nod to savage starlight as an ongoing naughty dog meme or is it a hint of what's to come for next gen? Hmmmm

Interesting. I went in the room-- gun at the ready, realised that they weren't attacking me; so, I put my gun away. Killed the doctor who tried to attack me with scalpel when I approached Ellie and left the rest alive.
There's one doctor who tries to attack you-- thus prompting an instant kill but you can leave the rest alive.
Same here! Well apart from trying my best not to attack the first guy.

Sony got burned by fans and press for constantly delaying games, so now they do the opposite and hold off announcing the date until they know for sure they'll make it. The Last of Us II may just be a winter 2019 game at this point in their eyes, but don't want to say anything in case.
Wasn't your point regarding GoT that it was an Assassins Creed clone? What makes it a clone of AC specifically? You haven't answered the question.
I like the idea of representing death/violence as a uncomfortable and hard thing to do. Opposite to Uncharted that is like "kill 50 enemies with every weapon to gain trophies!!" and it's fun.
But I also think would be nice to have the option to turn the "gore" off, so everyone can play.

I only killed the first,the others never,for me was pretty obvious the others were optional.
Yea I think it can land anywhere from March to November hopefully October or earlier
I can't see earlier than March though
YEah agree, loved that. Hope they keep this balance, didnt always liked in normal or hard Uncharted always kind of needed more than 2 or 3 bullet to finish that guy :)
Funny I remember a few threads talking about the rarity of that anyway she probably would have been celibate.
I was wondering how this game would handle companions considering GOW raised the bar with Atreus and if ND was going to have one again, they'd have to step it up.
I guess removing them was the choice they made.

It's annoying that my youtube dislike etc will be taken as a bigoted vote against the kiss when really I'm just appauled by Druckmann and his horrific psychopath libertarian violence he's pushing on to millions of Playstationers. What a nasty piece of shit that man is.
All the gore is "optional",just shoot in the body or head and will be like every game,that final for example is a finish,like the first game,you could just finish with another shoot or a punch.
Everything was well done. You can easily see that the combat is a step above what was in the original, and the acting during the dance was phenomenal. Ellie being super surprised to being kissed, and then really happy it happened afterwards.
I love what Naughty Dog does in their games. Wooo, this is going to be amazing.

why are you personally attacking a creator for his artistic vision?
violence is completely within context of this world, and it's not glorified for an arbitrary "cool" factor, its there to highlight the horror of TLOU
my god, some of the takes on this forum are mind bending
I really liked that scene. Mostly because, I always found it fascinating how different every player's first instincts are.
