Just finished TLOU2 without being spoiled (apart from something that happens close to the start) at all. I did this by staying off the internet while I was playing it. My main criticism of it is that I felt like I needed to walk around every room and look in every shelf, I'd walk around hugging one wall, then hug every table/shelf in the middle of the room/etc. Not doing this would have made me miss out on entire skill trees/pieces of equipment/weapons. I got annoyed by being railroaded a few times (if you haven't completely searched a room/area, then you open a door, often you will cutscene-walk through the door and you can't go back through it, so anything you missed in the previous room/area is not gettable any more). So I'm spoiler-marking this but I will keep it vague so it's mostly safe to mouse over: I loved the new character.. I think it was a great game overall, but, I want to play FF7R again on hard, and I did want to as soon as I finished it on normal. I want to play TLOU2 again on a harder difficulty, but, not this year. I can wait.

How old is this game?

2008, with a sister mmorpg in 2012 called Pirate101. From some small glances I took at the subreddits for each game, it seems like Wizard101 still receives updates and Pirate101 is no longer receiving any story content and may very well be on its way out.

i think that's only one of the takes i've heard about the game that basically focuses so narrowly on a few minor videogame things about it and ends with a desire for repeating it for the challenge parts of gameplay bits i thought were just glue for the story.

mostly im surprised you apparently played a completionist style but didn't notice or take any points off for the total laughable and unforgiveable shitshow with the state qurters.

If any brand can get a "woke brand" pass from me, it's probably the game company whose CEO went out and got his rear end beat and tear gassed by Seattle cops during the recent #BLM protests. Also all the money they make off selling those pins goes to relevant charity orgs.

I think you're talking to me? I'm unsure about what this means: "total laughable and unforgiveable shitshow with the state qurters." I haven't been reading much about this game online so I don't know what direction the conversation about it has gone. I suspect it's known on SA as "a bad game" now?

I didn't think it was worth posting a nuanced review of what I thought of the plot, because I suspected I'd get a bunch of bad faith replies involving dogs due to my joke a few days ago, and it looks like I did already get one. And yeah overall I thought the plot was good. As one person said in another thread, "it could have ended 4 times already". I definitely feel like there was enough game in there.

edit: I just googled 'tlou2 state quarters' and it seems to be about the coins? They're a collectable, I don't care about getting every collectable for the sake of a trophy. I just didn't want to miss plot points from reading notes, and I was a bit annoyed that I missed a safe in the same area that you pick up a shotgun, as Abbey

edit 2: my fave genres are tactical squad combat and survival horror and TLOU2 is the biggest-budget survival horror game, so it scratched that itch well.

Sorry dude, I was just making a dumb joke. There are apparently some state quarter collectibles in the game but for some reason the state side of them have dates from before state quarters became a thing.

I wasn't trying to make fun of you or grill you about your review at all, but I did mean that I hadn't really seen a review of the game from that specific perspective only, and with your gaming prefs laid out it also makes sense. AFAIK there's no standard forums "take" on the game, still a hot topic I think.

short version is that it's done things to tee off people from both ends of the political spectrum, and also has a lot of noise flying around it in general for being the latest bog-standard AAA action game with cutting-edge graphics that draws hyperbolic praise from a legion of "reviewers" who exist to write ad copy above all else
