Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

I cant take it anymore. I NEED to play this game already. I never owned a PS3, bought a PS4 in 2018 and my coworkers introduced me to TLOU last year. Ive been hooked ever since. Easily in the top 3 of my greatest games of all time rankings, and I assume Part 2 will be ever better.

everything I've seen from reviews about 10 different people total say its better then the 1st one in everyway.

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

I finished TLOU two summers ago on PS4. I got somewhat far on PS3 at the time (not enough to ever change the "season," though the other seasons are substantially shorter), but then replayed it on PS4 to get that 60 FPS and whatnot.

I remember a lot of end story bits, but I kind of want to re-remember them, specifically one of the very, very last moments. I could just watch that one cut scene, but I'd like to watch the rest of them. I saw some cinematic videos on YouTube basically playing a lot of the cut scenes and necessarily gameplay components, but the first guy I watched who played out the opening portion of the game was annoying as hell. Feel free to watch it to see what I mean.

We'll see if I continue watching him. Until then, bring on this game! My birthday is the 21st, but I'll probably pick it up on Friday.

The number of 10's its scoring and the word "masterpiece" being synonymous with this game is incredible.

Highly anticipated for me.

I don't know why, but I thought the game was playable today... I got really disappointed when I got on my PS4 last night and saw 2D 23:--:--

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

Picked it up earlier today (Wednesday lol). I'm still trying to finish Assassin's Creed Odyssey and it's DLC so I won't be playing it for at least another two weeks. I'm still excited though [emoji16][emoji1474]

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

I think my greatest problem for me will be how shall I play this? There's five difficulty levels to choose from starting with Very Light up to Survivor. Then there's this 6th difficulty level that permits you to customize your experience which looks like a real good option to pick. Start at Survivor and customize from there. Maybe taking x-amount of time just customizing it? See what I mean.

The sixth “custom” difficulty and it’s pretty darn clever. This allows players to change the dial on individual gameplay elements and mechanics (from Very Light to Survivor), tailoring the game’s toughness in a way that is rarely ever seen in video games. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Player – adjusts the amount of damage taken from enemies and the frequency of mid-encounter dynamic checkpoints.

Enemies – adjusts firearm accuracy, aggression, and tactical thinking of enemies. Melee combos are more complex with certain enemy types gaining movement speed.

Allies – adjusts the effectiveness and killing power of companion characters.

Stealth – adjusts enemy perception and how hard they pursue the player once line of sight is broken.

Resources – adjusts quantity of ammo and supplies found as well as the durability of melee weapons and crafting yields.

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

If Survivor is what I think/recall it implements, it removes things like the listening/eavesdropping mode and maybe removes checkpoints.

I don't mind the game being hard, but I'd like to keep those two things in play. Either I'll do the step right below Survivor, or I'll customize Survivor and ease up on those two other elements.

It seems your above post brings up the latter regarding checkpoints, but I don't see the "listening" feature showing up. Maybe TLOU 2 doesn't have it? I can't remember whether or not Ellie was able to "listen" when we played as her in Winter, or if we needed to. Maybe it was only a Joel trait.

Lol.....I can't remember either. I also never played the remastered version with Survivor Mode. I did watch a YouTube Overview (not the one you posted but it did give me the idea) of the First Version just so I can reacclimate myself to the story. Not that I forgotten but watching it again made me realize this was a 14 year old kid back then. Grant it a tough one.

I heard on a podcast that no difficulty trophies if that plays a role

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

I thought I had this game set for in-store pickup at Best Buy since I pre-ordered it at the same time as MLB The Show 20, but according to a text and e-mail it's being shipped to me. I get it sometime tomorrow between 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

Darn it, I was hoping to pick it up in store at opening (10:00 AM, I think?). The only reason I would've done the shipping option is because in-store pickup was likely not available as an option.

Oh well, I'll get to play it at some point!

On the custom setting?

Good to know, thanks!

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

6 more hours until I shut out the rest of the world for a bit LOL.

Ill definitely be playing on Survivor Custom. Not sure what Ill be setting everything at but the plan is to have enemy health low so a couple pistol bullets kills them as would be in real life, but I want them to be RUTHLESS as far as sealth and attacking AI is concerned, and resources will be bare.

I want to tailor it to be more of a positioning battle rather than pure gunfight per se.

I'm leaning towards your thinking, trophies be damned. Hope our slider people come to the usual rescue

Wow thanks for the info I didn't know this. I may try this custom level to begin with. I'm a slider guy anyway so this is kind of right up my alley

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4)

I’m guessing would be a wise idea to play Part 1 before playing this?
