The Last of Us Part II (PS4)

At this point I'm legit worried I'm gonna find out spoilers weeks before the game is even released. The internet is trying really hard to let me know they exist and I'm just trying to not wander anywhere related to this anymore.

Please fucking watch out for YouTube. I've seen thumbnails and headlines I didn't mean to see.

I don't trust Youtube or Reddit for the next two months.

I'm not specifically concerned with what the story is, just how it's told. I'm avoiding spoilers, but I also know sometimes just reading bullet points makes things sound better and sometimes it makes them sound worse.

How this game plays and tells it's story is more important to me than the plot points, because I've seen first hand how Naughty Dog can take a story about hallucinogenic chemicals in an ancient water supply and keep me engrossed for 10 straight hours of Indiana Jones incredibleness. The plot points of the first game in this series, for example, do the actual story telling no justice at all. You can boil the last chapter down to Joel kills everyone in the Hosptial to take back Ellie and it completely ignores all the nuance and character development that leads to that plot point and gives it gravity.

I'll continue to trust Naughty Dogs story telling until I actually play a game of theirs that comes up short. So far, since the first Uncharted, they've nailed it every time.

That’s the way Ive felt about their games. I was going to wait until reviews came out to decide if what ND did was as bad as everyone was making it out to be. I finally gave in and watched a synopsis of the storyline. I’ll just suggest you wait for reviews for making a purchase decision. I doubt I’ll buy it, based on what I’ve heard.

I just played this for the first time last week. I immediately preordered Part II after I finished.

This game is astonishingly good. I can't believe I've slept on Naughty Dog for so long as a developer.

Is it? The remaster is currently on sale for PS4 for dirt cheap. I might have to pick it up.

For 10 bucks, it's the absolute best deal going on PS4 right now.

This type of game is not even my cup of tea and I'm on my fourth play through.

I can't name another game like this I've finished once, let alone almost 4 times. This is some of the best media ever crafted and it transcends preferences. If you like movies OR games this is worth experiencing.
