Gaming The Last of Us Part II (PS4)

Playing this in the day near a window is hell. Every time the sun comes out I can’t see shit. The curtains we have up in the living room are too thin :lol:
 
Do we know if Dina can grab people? I’ve been really enjoying how effective AI are at helping me but feck me if she couldn’t have done more to give me a hand in this video.
 
QLEDs don't have burn-in and can go a lot brighter, so if you're struggling to keep sunlight out, they're a better bet. I've never owned one so beyond seeing them side by side in some stores, I can't really judge the picture quality difference. Obviously you'll never get those perfect blacks you get with OLEDs.


Honestly I wouldn't wait. It looks this good right now.

QLEDs have a lot of artefacts in game mode. OLEDs are have much, much cleaner game modes than Samsung. QLED is just a buzz word anyway that Samsung use.

Yeah sometimes shes very helpful at points. Other times she doesn't do anything other then shoot. Suppose some help is better then nothing. But she really should have grabbed that guy.
 
Anyone experiencing a glitch where scissors you pick up aren’t showing in your crafting pack? I literally cannot get anything to appear

I think you need to pick up multiple of something to be able to craft with it. Just in case it’s that and not a glitch?
 
Abby is ugly. She also looks like butch lesbian.

Ive picked up 4x separate sets of scissors and none have registered to craft. It’s also now happening with health packs
 
Don’t know whether to get. Can’t be arsed investing my spare time into a game with a seemingly disappointing story.

Is it open world by the way?

Get it, It's a really good game.

So far I love the story! Not open world, fairly linear, but can explore in this world.

Thought it would be, glad it is because the story was everything in the first one.
Will consider it but seen a fair few mixed reviews.
 
Someone asked if you can get the infected to fight human enemies and yes you can.

vid of it:



I can just waltz through while that guy gets chased by three :lol:

One of them also ran right into my arms whilst running away for an easy silent kill. Very satisfying.

That was me, thanks. That's gonna be my plan when I play it tomorrow :drool:

You could explore the world in the first. I really enjoyed looking inside peoples houses and reading notes etc. It was really well done despite being very linear.

I like getting some extra story by reading the notes but damn does everyone who’s dying immediately pull out the paper and pen they have on hand and write their thoughts? :lol:
 
I can't beat that infected bloater boss you fight when you're Abby. Use up all my ammo and can't kill it. Died around 15 times now. Can't kill it on lowest difficulty either.
 
The blood spatter on the wall when you shoot someone up against it is very well done. They’re right about there being a real weight to killings. It feels very real.
 
Ah feck they killed Joel, the bastards. I knew he would die given the game is about revenge and all but that was brutal. it's also why I never wanted a sequel, because I knew they'd kill him :lol:
 
Its brilliant when you get kill someone and the other guy goes over and says oh they killed john. Very real like. Then I butcher them :lol:

Yeah I had one guy shouting “Shannon get them from the left” and then I smashed her face in and heard the guy scream her name all anguished.

stuck on this part as well wish there was a skip mission button :lol:
 
I'm only about 90 minutes in and I need to sleep, but it's looking good so far.

The new characters seem pretty decent, Abby seems like she's going to be fun to play as more since she just punches everything in her way. I'm also glad that they showed a little bit when Joel and Ellie were younger, I never like sudden time speed ups in games without any story development. Maybe it's just me though but it doesn't look as "wow" as I thought it was going be on Pro.

I managed to kill it with my very last shot in my gun on very light difficulty after being murdered about 30 times at least.
 
In part 1 you needed fire (i.e. molotovs) to kill bloater (mini)bosses. Unless they’ve changed that in 2, that’s still your best bet.

This is a proper boss. Used up my flamethrower and several bombs without it being enough. Would recommend anyone to start saving up ammo when they get the flamethrower, because it becomes in need in this fight around 40 mins later.

That sounds really cool, don't think I've seen that in many other games but would certainly add weight to the kills.

One guy cried out for his dog after I killed it :(
 
Well I finished it. All in a all this is a very good game, but I do feel that the story and characters are weak compared to the first. Joel was killed way too quickly and tbh I wasnt interested in Abby as a character or her story arch. Graphics, presentation, gameplay all very good. Someone came up with this plotline alternative instead which I honestly thought would be better too.

Still the game ticks so many good boxes that I will give it a 8.5/10, the pacing, the abby storyline and overall plot weaknessness and writing prevents it from being a full 10.

I heard about that dog thing in a review. I can't kill good bois. Hopefully you can avoid them :(

You can but they can pick up your scent. I usually try and get to water to lose them.
 
Just downloaded the game now.

I’m going to try my hardest to wait until Tuesday to play though as it’s my day off so I’m going to hammer it all day.
