When fourteen year-old Emiru and Sora Hoshi found a meteorite in the woods outside Kyoto, touching it imbued them both with the power of astrokinesis: the ability to take starlight and turn into energy! Taken into custody by the Society of Champions, Tesseracter mentored the kids on how to use their power safely and wisely, though his over-protective nature eventually drove them away. Now they live on the streets trying to find meaning and purpose in their powers.
What difficulty level will you be playing on? Probably the default for the first run.
Next Naughty Dog game hint.

I'm really starting to believe in a 96-97 metacritic score now lol. The hype quotes give me life.GameReactor Swedens editor is 14 hours into it and he is gushing over it. He cant say much obviously but he keeps repeating how amazingly good it is. The first game is his favorite game ever and he believed he had unrealistic high expectations going into part 2. He claims part 2 has lived up to his expectations based on the preview demo area.
To quote and translate his recent blog post:
"It. Is. Incredible...
Ive now played 14 hours and I obviously cannot speak about anything outside of what we are allowed to say. But I just want to inform that this game is completely phenomenal. Soooo full of humanity, excitement, character, variation and tension."
Great to hear. I think the only problem with TLoU2 is that it might be too good.GameReactor Swedens editor is 14 hours into it and he is gushing over it.

I thought that too at first, but all the previews I've read were almost exclusively positive about the game.I think general consensus will be that this is better than Part 1 quite safely. But I do think Meta will land on 92-94 because of how daring this game seems to be. It is bound to piss off some people. I remember Troy Baker saying he isnt sure if people will love or hate it and how he urges everyone to have an open mind about it.
Hope I'm wrong though and it hits 99 haha.
First game I played 50% on grounded difficulty then changed to survivor because check points were more punishing than DS1,it was very fun but I'm not sure if I should go for survivor difficulty on 1st playthrough here because if the story is too good it would break the pacing assuming that you are repeating some sections many times, I also hate customized difficulty I would like to play how the devolpers intended the game to be played I.E Fromsoft, Platnuim games.. etc. obviously not like AC.What difficulty level will you be playing on?

Modified difficulty.What difficulty level will you be playing on? Probably the default for the first run.
I think I'll play it on hard but I like listening mode so only if I can use that. I'm gonna take my time with this one but probably still finish it in a week. The first is scarily addictive and I can easily sit and play it for five hours at a time.What difficulty level will you be playing on? Probably the default for the first run.
Could Part II also implemented MGSV camera zoom?
I've seen this twice on State of Play gameplay & the Brazilian other b-roll footage.
I have pre-ordered tlou2 but due to risk of spoilers I haven't followed preview or any diskussion about the game. Just curious about what the general opinion is about the game? No spoilers.
I wonder if he has reached the supposedly controversial leak part. I haven't read any leak yet, but do we know if the leak is from early part of the game or in the latter half?
Funny. I just started Uncharted Lost Legacy and so far so good. Only played an hour tho so curious to see how this compares to Uncharted 4 and ofc TLoU2 when I do play it
Both games will have a very high Chance of winning GOTYI'm interested to know how riding the horse feels in comparison to RDR 2. I love how open everything seems. On an unrelated note, do you all think Cyperpunk has any chance of beating this out for GOTY? Both of them look absolutely amazing.
My hype for Cyberpunk deflated after the last gameplay showing. The combat seems a bit sluggish. It still looks really good though and I think the hype alone is going to make it a big Goty contender.I'm interested to know how riding the horse feels in comparison to RDR 2.

Apparently the AI is very good on survivor. Not sure about the other settings.Did naughty dog dumb down the A.I again before release like last time?! I hope not but i am not seeing that A.I praise like september previews!
Thanks!

I think Troy's comment was about the story specifically. On the gameplay and overall design side, all we've heard is 100% positivity.I think general consensus will be that this is better than Part 1 quite safely. But I do think Meta will land on 92-94 because of how daring this game seems to be. It is bound to piss off some people.

That's interesting . If it's not too much to ask can you link me another source that is praising the human AI . Thanks!They did not dumb down the AI. The AI's perception and awareness is tuned to difficulty setting. A lot of reviewers are playing on normal, which gives a more generous window with the AI. One reviewer reported playing on survivor difficulty and that the AI will look behind them A LOT more frequently in an attempt to prevent the player from easily exploiting a back stab.
Also, many reviewers have praised the AI and said it is the most advanced they have ever seen in a game. Particular praise has been given to the way the AI communicate with each other to find Ellie, much like what was shown in the E3 2018 presentation:
From GQ article impressions: " Enemies respond in a way that's more realistic and convincing than anything I've seen in a video game before. It's the communication between the enemies that I think is most impressive."
The Last Of Us Part II is a gory, stealthy game-changer… so far
We played The Last Of Us Part II and are permitted to discuss a crucial portion of the game ahead of its release…www.gq-magazine.co.uk
iirc one of the co-director said playtest led to 25h to complete the story.is there any word on the length? if it's another 15-20 hour game then i'm waiting for a sale.
Cyberpunk is an RPG. Even though it's first person, the combat was never gonna be a crazy snappy tight agile fare.My hype for Cyberpunk deflated after the last gameplay showing. The combat seems a bit sluggish. It still looks really good though and I think the hype alone is going to make it a big Goty contender.
