Re: PS5 Fans Are Pondering the Future of PS Plus

@BrainHacker I'm not sure where you got your numbers on "most Xbox gamers", because GamePass is very popular. Getting all of the first party games such as Halo, for example, on GamePass day one without having to buy the game? Yeah, I think people like it. It's an incredible value, full of really great games.

Re: Round Up: Ghost of Tsushima Reviews Are Sharp As a Samurai's Blade

Hey, not every game can be a 10 out of 10. These are solid review scores, and I really look forward to getting my pre order copy. I normally don't like open world games, but there are a few exceptions. Breath of The Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, and now this one. The world just looks incredible, and I am a massive Kurosawa fan. This looks like my kind of game.

@dark_knightmare2 I remember in the Art of Naughty Dog book that came out a few years back, there was a small chapter with some concept art for an abandoned sci fi game. So, yeah maybe they've went back to it with a new idea. I'd really like that. See something different from them.

Re: Talking Point: The Last of Us 2 Spoilers Discussion

I think this game deserves a 10 in the poll. I found it to be a brilliant, surprising, and an emotionally devastating game. This, along with the first, will stay with me for a long long time. It's been a while since I've been so captivated by a game.
Abby has honestly become my new favorite character in the series. The game also put the player through moments I felt so uncomfortable playing. Abby fighting Ellie in the theatre, and Ellie fighting Abby on the beach. I did not want to do these things, but the game is much better for it.
The flashbacks with Joel and Ellie hit me very hard, and were among my favorite parts of the game. I don't want to type out a novel here, but I was really blown away by the game. It was so ambitious, and the size and scope is so epic. It's Naughty Dog's masterpiece.

@get2sammyb that's how I see it as well. Ellie throughout the first and most of the second game, is forced to kill people through self defense and trying to survive. There is a difference when she decides to start killing out of rage and revenge, which obviously has a huge impact on her.

I just finished the game today, and am completely and totally satisfied with the way things end. However, I am very much looking forward to the multiplayer eventually. I'd love to see Naughty Dog refocus on something new, instead of anymore sequels or DLC for this series or Uncharted.

Re: Poll: Did You Miss E3 2020 Last Week?

jslade

I used to love E3, but now I didn't even realize it was supposed to be last week. I definitely don't miss it, and prefer something like what Sony just did. It's also more fun to have these streams spaced apart. Xbox is in July, and who knows when Nintendo will do something.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Director Unsure of What's Next for Naughty Dog

jslade

As much as I love Uncharted and The Last of Us, I think it's time for something new from them. Uncharted had a perfect send off with 4, and maybe it will be the same for The Last of Us. Naughty Dog is obviously a very talented studio, and I think it's best for everyone if they were able to move on before those great series grow stale.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Available for Pre-Order on PlayStation Store Again

jslade

I will absolutely be pre-ordering this game. Really can't wait for this. Have had nothing spoiled for myself, and hope to keep it that way. Naughty Dog is my favorite studio, and each of their releases are a big deal for me, and this being no different.
My only disappointment with this game is the departure of Bruce Straley. Would have loved to see a sequel with both Neil Druckmann and Straley directing, and finishing what they both started together.
