First of all, I’m glad I stayed away from anything TLOU2 related when info regarding the game weak a couple of months ago. I actually like the game though not as much as the first one.
I thought it was unique that the game let’s you play as the antagonist. Though you could argue that Ellie was kinda turning into a villain as well when she forced Abby to fight her by holding a knife to Lev’s neck during the last chapter. My main issue was that Abby’s gameplay portion was way too long which lead to some pacing issues. Her story almost fills like filler at times and probably would’ve been better if it was 5 instead of 10 hours of gameplay. To be honest, I would’ve been happy if the story ended during the farm chapter.
Joel’s death didn’t bother me at all, but it did shocked me when it happened.
There were a few uncomfortable moments though like the fight scene during the last chapter and also the full frontal nudity sex scene. Don’t think the latter needs to be in games. We already have a lot of that in movies and especially tv shows.
There were also too many occasions where surprised attacks happened just as characters were either entering or exiting an area.
My favourite chapter was the Birthday Gift one and I love some of the new characters like Dina, Jesse and Lev. Oh yeah, the visuals were jaw dropping too.
Haven't bought a single AC game, yet but this reminds me of History Channel's Viking tv series which I liked. I'm actually looking forward to seeing some gameplay.
@Deadlyblack @Rob_230 They should be the same as the ones from Japan. You can buy and use the themes on different accounts but not the avatars unfortunately.
I like the black one by EVIL. Seeing the grey one by Doomster78666 makes me want a steel black version. I also quite like the Spider-man one too by BossLogic but only if it’s just red and blue and without the emblem and webbing.
Looking forward to see more of this knowing that it's being developed by CyberConnect2. Was worried initially it was gonna be another copy paste type game by Bandai Namco.
My least favourite "Festival" outfit so far. Other than that, looking forward to the new updates! There are also more new monsters and updates planned for June onwards.
@WanderingBullet Yeah, I'm gonna wait for reviews as well. Having tried the Japanese demo, I can't say that I was impressed with the combat sections and dungeon/level designs.
Over the years they've had some pretty cool exclusive editions so making international shipping available for their games would be nice for people who don't live in the States.
@Octane Thanks. Will wait and see what the reviews say first then but if they do release a demo hopefully the developer has learned from their mistake and actually include the tutorial portion this time around.

Re: Capcom Is Planning a Monster Hunter Game Aimed at Kids and Teenagers
Monster Hunter Riders?
Re: Scarlet Nexus Confirmed for PS5, PS4
@Mitsui Thanks. The art direction reminded me of those two games.
Re: Scarlet Nexus Confirmed for PS5, PS4
Is it by the same team that did God Eater or Code Vein?
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Lets You Play as a Male or Female Character
Protagonist looks like Ragnar and his name sounds like Ivar.
Re: Gallery: Assassin's Creed Valhalla In-Game Screenshots Show Locations, Characters, Combat, and More
Would be cool if they implemented For Honor's controls into this.

Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy VII Remake From the Perspective of a Newcomer

Re: Sony Sending Out Even More Persona 5 Royal Dynamic PS4 Themes and Avatars
@Matroska Thanks but I can't use the app anymore since my iPad's broken and I my cell phone doesn't have a data plan.

@playstation_king I found it on my.playstation.com. Sign in and go to your "Account Settings". Then go to "Notification Settings".

Re: Sony Sending Out Even More Persona 5 Royal Dynamic PS4 Themes and Avatars
@RetroDragon Noted. Thank you.
Re: Sony Sending Out More Persona 5 Royal Dynamic PS4 Themes and Avatars
@RetroDragon Hi, by emails from Sony turned on do you mean selecting "Yes" for both options in the Notification Settings?
Re: PSN Continues to Cope Admirably with Coronavirus Crisis
PSN's been down for the past 9 hours. Single player games are still fine, just can't play multiplayer games.
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Has Already Been Reimagined As a Sexy Anime Girl
@badbob001 Now that I think of it the white and black DualSence controller also reminds me of the robots from Portal 2.
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Has Already Been Reimagined As a Sexy Anime Girl
Meh, I like this "Ghost in the Controller" by @ka92 better.

Re: Gallery: PS5 Fans Are Getting Creative with DualSense Colour Combos
I like the black one by EVIL. Seeing the grey one by Doomster78666 makes me want a steel black version. I also quite like the Spider-man one too by BossLogic but only if it’s just red and blue and without the emblem and webbing.
Re: PS5's DualSense Controller Explodes on Social Media
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
Reminds me of Excalibur from Warframe.
I take it the console will have similar colors too?
Re: PS5 SSD Could Reduce Game Sizes and Save Storage Space
@tristanfey Thanks, man.
Re: Random: Marvel's Spider-Man Has An Eerie Message Which Rings Frighteningly True Right Now
Akira's manga had something similar too:

Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Charges Just $0.60 for New Game+, But Rises to Nearly $9 in May
Yakuzas be collecting them protection fees.
Re: PS5 SSD Could Reduce Game Sizes and Save Storage Space
How does this apply to current PS4 games that can be played on the PS5?
Re: That Demon Slayer Game Is Being Developed By Naruto Storm and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Dev CyberConnect2
Looking forward to see more of this knowing that it's being developed by CyberConnect2. Was worried initially it was gonna be another copy paste type game by Bandai Namco.
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne's Next Update Adds Layered Weapons and More, Alatreon Returns in May
My least favourite "Festival" outfit so far. Other than that, looking forward to the new updates! There are also more new monsters and updates planned for June onwards.
Re: Japanese PS Plus Members Got a Far Better Free Game Than Sonic Forces
No excuse not to try this game for those who own it.
Re: Square Enix Confirms No Delay for Final Fantasy VII Remake, But Physical Copies Could Be Postponed
I'm good as long as Amazon doesn't cancel my pre-order. FFVIIR is not a multiplayer game so it doesn't bother me if I don't get to play it day one.
Re: PS5 Comes with 825GB of Internal Storage on SSD
825GB is such an odd number. Why not 1TB? With "AAA" game file sizes being so big nowadays 1TB should be the bare minimum.
@jess3a3 Actually seven games since pre-installed softwares and apps might already take up 100GB worth of space.lol
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony's PS5 Deep Dive Live Up to the Hype?
Since I'm not much of tech guy, I was actually more interested to see the console's design and hearing about launch games instead.
Re: Naughty Dog Underfire for Intense Crunch Culture Once More
Japan's anime industry is worst than this.

Re: Demon Slayer Is Getting a PS4 Game, and It's Probably an Arena Fighter
Waiting for this to be available on Netflix. Heard the anime's very good.
Re: Grab Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 3 PS4 Pre-Orders for Less Than $50
I could be wrong but Cyberpunk 2077 has been $49.94 for quite sometime now on Amazon. Maybe even since last year.
Anyways, Watch Dogs Legion Standard Edition is also $49.99 on Amazon.
Re: Ex-Guerrilla Producer Rips Butthurt PlayStation Fans Over Horizon PC Port
If the game got ported to PC back in 2018 it'll be a different discussion but the game's already three years old.
Re: Choose Your Favourite Waifu with This New Sakura Wars Trailer
@WanderingBullet Yeah, I'm gonna wait for reviews as well. Having tried the Japanese demo, I can't say that I was impressed with the combat sections and dungeon/level designs.
Re: Choose Your Favourite Waifu with This New Sakura Wars Trailer
@shonenjump86 You probably already know this but the character designs are done by Tite Kubo the creator of Bleach.
Re: Choose Your Favourite Waifu with This New Sakura Wars Trailer
Not a big fan of the timer thing. I do wonder how much dialogue choices affects the game.
Re: Rumour: Marvel's Iron Man VR to Receive a Demo Before PSVR Release
Off-topic, but I read that there's also a Panzer Dragoon PSVR game in development.

Re: DOOM Eternal Gives the Doom Slayer a Makeover with Character Customisation
Looks like you can finally play as Butt Stallion.
Re: Nioh 2 - Team Ninja Plays it Safe with Excellent, Action-Packed Sequel
Would love to see them release a "The Art of Nioh 2" art book. I think the yokai designs in this game are awesome.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Release Date Confirmed for June 2020
That image of all the samurais on top a hill would make a pretty cool wallpaper.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima PS4 Pre-Order Details and Editions Revealed
The Collector's Edition's too expensive. Will try to get the Special Edition instead.
Re: The Last of Us to Be Adapted into HBO TV Series
Cast Hugh Jackman as Joel.
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
Haven't played FFX before but to me it had some of my least favourite character designs (starting from VI onwards) in the FF universe.
I'm also surprised that FFXII wasn't even in the Top 10. That game was great!
Re: Guide: PS4 Games and Accessories You Must Buy in March and April 2020
So many RPG games between March and April.
Re: Granblue Fantasy Versus - Superbly Crafted Fighter Is a Joy to Play and Behold
I want either a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or a Yu Yu Hakusho fighting game from Arc System Works after they've finished developing Guilty Gear Strive.
