Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


This just seems like the normal state of affairs for the way AAA game development has progressed over the last 7-8 years. Longer development cycles, gigantic budgets, fewer risks on new properties, studio identities merged and homogenized to field more transferrable and replaceable personnel.

The Last of Us is one of the biggest and most lauded franchises in gaming and it only has 2 entires.

It pushed the medium forward in terms of storytelling, character development, and world-building.

Days Gone is, at its absolute best, a 3/5 that was edited by someone on pills.

You're definitely wrong that nobody loved it, though, sorry. I bought it on PS3, bought it on PS4, and I'll buy it again on PS5.

edit: since when was Bend Studio a "rising star?" If anything they were has-beens trying to come back, relegated for years to handhelds after making actual flagship console games in the 90s and then they put out one mid-tier console game a couple years ago after 15 years.

Naughty Dog are the standard when it comes to AAA storytelling and characters in video games, especially Sony 1st party. Bend came drat close though with Days Gone, in my opinion, and I thought that game was just more fun to play compared to either Last of Us.

It's not bragging to say you like a game a lot but ok. You haven't ever bought a game twice, with all the remasters/remakes/rereleases through the years of various games?

The only CB game I've ever played was in Uncharted 4, and maybe a PS1 demo disc back in the day. I already have too much on my plate, but if the Trilogy Remake comes to PS+ someday then I'll for sure give it a shot.

I just finished The Last of Us Remastered.

One of, if not the best video game I have ever played. Probably the only game I've ever played where I didn't have a single moment of wanting to just get to the next part.

I have never preordered a game in my life, but I will be preordering part 2 as soon as it is available to do so.

If you missed it on ps3 and haven't played it on ps4, you should drop every game you're playing right now and play TLOU instead.

Truthfully it doesn't really feel like a video game. It's a story that you guide. I know that can go either way for some people, but I promise I mean it with praise.

Sorry for touching a nerve by calling TLoU a good game LMAO

Gotta say - this really sucks.

We don't need The Last of Us to be remade and re-released a third time in less than 10 years.

Especially with the juxtaposition of Sony basically cleaning house with Japan Studio and that AMA the other day with a former Sony employee shows how the tide is changing at Playstation with regards to the power structure change after Jim Ryan forced out Shawn Layden.

Jak 2 & Jak 3 are completely awesome video games that people tend to overlook when considering ND’s history but I feel like they perfectly captured and improved upon the GTA open world crime game zeitgeist and made one of the best versions on the market.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

Thanks for reminding me of another Naughty Dog series that I've never touched before. I bring shame to Sony first party.

I'm glad you like the last of us buddy, i thought it was a good videogame but I'm always slightly baffled when people treat it like a classic genre defining masterpiece. That's all.
