IDK why I clicked this...Seattle Day 1 again I guess is something that happens later on...because that DEFINITELY does not happen in the first Seattle day 1....fuck man...please make this more apparent in your post. FUCK
....
You just spoiled me something huge with your wrong spoiler tag
I seriously hate how stupid people are man...literally the 1 time I come into this thread since release.
I bet they did it on purpose to fucking scumbag.
It is sad because I managed to stay spoiler free for 2 months now considering the leaks...
I like to come here to update my progression but yeah this is fucked up, I am just going to bail out from TLOU2 threads
I just did. Sorry. Played a ton last night and just some now. Probably could've worded the title better due to how it progresses.
Good job. How do you put a spoiler like that in a Tag without any wording prior that it has something major in it? I swear some of you people don't think before you type. Sorry If I'm coming off dickish but I've spent months successfully not getting spoiled and then for it to happen in a poorly thought out post really ticks me off.
This is so over the top I don't even know how to respond lol
Only reason I'm a little iffy on gameplay is because of how easy it is. It's same as how I feel about Arkham Asylum vs Arkham City. City gives you much more freedom and options in combat, whereas Asylum is tougher because you have limited options and there's less to abuse. You gotta play tight in TLOU1 (or Asylum). Here you can bail out of basically of almost any situation super easily.
you're right about puzzles though. It's a pity they didn't do more with the insane rope physics. I guess they heard the feedback on crates from the last game and U4 and reigned themselves in
Don't worry, human mistakes. Anyone clicking on spoiler tags knows the risk. Don't apologize to someone that called you stupid and a "fucking scumbag".
Oh, that's nice to know. Thanks for the reply. Good thing I didn't try to push to the end late last night. haha
~60%. I'd say a good 8-10 hours left, maybe more depending on difficulty.
I warned people about the Seattle Day X posts, the game's chronology isn't straight forward like that. Use chapter titles (they're on your save)
Soupman Prime s spoiler was probably one of the better ways to hide the spoiler but I probably wouldn't have put the spoiler that way because of the confusion.
Yeah. I didn't want the title to be a spoiler itself. Should've worded it differently to differentiate or just stayed clear of stuff like that till I graduate to the actual spoiler thread.
My bad to anyone who saw it and didn't know. Sorry, didn't mean to spoil even a lil bit of the story.
So has anyone gone back to revisit the original reveal trailer? Think it was a masterfully crafted trailer tbh.
I was team #joelghost since day 1
I guess from your perspective you were being prudent with the "AGAIN" at the end but from my perspective the "AGAIN" signaled you posting about something from Seattle Day 1 again.
In that case I take back the ugly shit I said, but I hope you can understand how I feel about it since people will try to spoil shit like that under the guise of a mistake all the time on the internet. Either way, I'm sorry for the harsh words.
This would have been very nice to know before stepping back into this thread lol
I'll take the harsh words, no problems at all. I went into the game spoiler free, stay cleared off YouTube and the huge spoiler thread here so I'd hate to ruin the game for someone via a spoiler.
It's my fault. I'll use chapters now if I really wanna talk about something. I should just beat the game but I go super slow with every encounter and didn't wanna beat the game in a few days.
That's freaking awesome. I kinda wish they made each chord set a separate button though rather than L1/R1 to cycle through.
Thank you.
i found a little hard to get the right strings on the touchpad but it's clear laziness on my part since many people are posting covers on it lmao
this is fucking amazing.
I got to say, now that we've seen more of Owen's story/Abby's crew and spent time in the aquarium, the way Ellie just kills everyone there feels like a depressing slap in the face. Like damn, Ellie, you really did them dirty. Whenever the plot finally circles back to that fateful Ellie-Abby confrontation, going to feel really conflicted. Honestly at this point, Ellie feels way more in the wrong in how she and Tommy are wiping out Abby's entire friend group compared to Abby killing Joel
Also getting to the sky bridges gives me the weirdest Uncharted vibes. Navigating the environment that is half concrete jungle/half actual raging-river jungle, kind of captures the same adventurous feeling as exploring some ancient ruin in Uncharted for me

I was thinking about creating a thread about the combat, but I can probably sum up its main talking points here:
- especially after watching avengers war table, there is no enemy that is merely "fodder" in tlou2. It makes a difference in that having no fodder makes you more likely to want to play, not less likely.
- when you are hit, you suffer at least one of a vision, movement, orientation, or position penalty. You are never in the same state or position after being hit. Most games you're at full mobility always until your health meter is empty. Here you have to make at least one move on your own to regain mobility, and much of the time that move is not a counterattack.
- Enemies in games usually have two motivations - "find you" or "notice you", and their movement and attack patterns can be characterized most of the time as "confident, but not precise." TLOU2 isn't different from that, yet it is because the enemy weapons and attacks are actually appropriately dangerous to you, and each attack causes a status change rather than just a subtraction of health.
Excellent observation. While it's not unique, it's also the fluidity of moving into/out of these stages and phases of penalties that adds immediacy and immersion to combat. When there's two of us, I've set the ally setting up one notch to be more lethal and have really noticed some nice instances where my ally felt like they were providing cover for me in a very meaningful way while I pursued cover to reset myself after being hit. I do not think this is actually happening from an AI perspective, but I do think the illusion of this coordination feels more plausible and only adds to what you're observing: a rush of meaningful, fluid decisions and reactions mid-combat that aren't just "gun till you can't anymore."
(I think the combined ally combat in Mass Effect games played with this 'multiple things at once feeling' but in a different way?)
I'm kind of annoyed that this idea popped into my head, because I can't stop noodling around with the concept in my head. Not necessarily a Jurassic Park game specifically, but a dinosaur game that plays like this in general.
Back to TLOU2, I believe I'm approaching the denouement, and man, what a fantastic ride this game has been. I'm really, really disappointed in gamers. I was talking to my friend about it the other day, and she was like, "I heard the game was bad and it was getting terrible reviews." Just, the spiteful, entitled, petty behavior of some gamers is really infuriating to me. For all the talk of wanting gaming to be "taken seriously," and treated with respect, they certainly don't represent in a way that warrants it.
But will they do something on hard like they see bodies and run and come back with backup or something??
Yes. They will also sob, cry out, get feared, ETC. It depends on the enemy.
The AI on survivor difficulty is incredible. The only game to ever surpass F.E.A.R in terms of enemy AI.
Ok I'm going to vent here for a minute I guess...why are there so many tlou2 threads!?! I swear I have blocked/ignored 20+ threads so far and so many recently are very borderline spoilery titled and it's annoying. Prob why I feel like I have to rush through the game atm.
Idk if it's my GOAT but it's certainly has the best story I've played in a video game. It may dethrone BoTW as my GOTG. Haven't decided yet.
Right, whether it's negative or positive games like this that encourage this much chatter about it dont come around often.
This is wonderful, but uhh... there's an endgame spoiler right in there. They say
they were rooting for the women to be together, right up until the end.
I guess I consider it a spoiler because I assumed
Dina would get killed at some point in the first half.
Just something to think about for you and others who are quoting that tweet...
It's Star Wars all over again. It's going to phase out with time. Most threads repeat the same thing you can read and talk about in OTs.
so, question:
I'm on hard mode, and the difficulty seems fair, where I have to conserve ammo and really think about how to avoid enemies, but human encounters are just a shitshow, and now the dogs have appeared. Is there a 'right' way to approach these setpieces? I usually sneak around, maybe take one or two people out with stealth, but as soon as dogs get a scent it's just hell on earth as I run around getting shot (all the NPC's have perfect aim) and the fights end up feeling like I'm cheesing them. After the encounters, I'm just staring at a pile of dead bodies and I'm out of resources, wondering if I'm even doing this right. It doesn't feel fun, it just feels stressful.
Should I be approaching this differently? Are there 'right' ways to be clearing these encounters, or am I supposed to be a ridiculous angel of chaotic death?
