I was modestly enjoying Horizon for the first few hours but just hit a fight with two Sawtooths that forced me to use every weapon I had and I see why people love this game now.

Hey, been wanting to go back to Horizon but I never got all that far in it. When can I get the storage upgrades? Having to decide what to keep was killing me.

I think Infinite has an interesting story, it's just not the story it was sold as. Burial at Sea is loving terrible and ruins both the main game and the first game somehow. I legitimately almost quit out of disgust at one point.

Getting back into Horizon and man, this game is kicking my rear end. Don't really love having to hunt and forage constantly for the only two ways to regenerate health, and I really hate fighting human enemies, though I still love the rest of it. The Tripcaster seems kind of worthless in most situations though, should I be more proactively switching it out for the Ropecaster for larger enemies?

I disagree. Like the spike is honestly probs the worst thing in the game but even that I can justify. I had to look away during the arm breaking, ugh.

I feel like the only place TLOU 2 could go that I'm interested in would be a story about escaping and recovering from abuse. I really like the stories of TLOU and Uncharted 4, so I'm willing to trust Druckmann (and whatever impact Straley had before leaving) but for some reason I have a really bad feeling they're gonna try to rehabilitate Joel, when the entire point of the first game is that he's a terrible, broken, selfish person who sacrifices the world for his only human connection against that person's will. It's totally paranoia, I know, but if they did that I'd just hate it.

I was done but whatever, "the Fireflies couldn't do it" has consistently, since the game came out, been some hot tactical realism bullshit meant to absolve Joel. I've gone through all those audiologs multiple times, the game doesn't suggest it strongly at all. The closest it comes is like "we've never seen anything like this!!!" which, duh, that's the point of Ellie's specialness. Also, the Fireflies might not know what Ellie wants, but the point is that Joel does. I think it's muddied a little bit, understandably, by Ellie being fourteen. I'm not even really saying that Joel shouldn't have taken Ellie. I'm instead saying that he's just not a good person. When I played the ending it resonated with me because I had projected myself onto Joel as the main character, and was shocked when he acted in ways I disagreed with, but that's not the point. The real point of the ending is its ambiguity between trust and distrust, lies and truth, what's justifiable and what isn't just to survive, on both sides. The last shot before the final cutscene is Ellie looking up at Joel, cast in shadow by the sun: she can't recognize him. On some level she probably knows what he's done, but whether she accepts his lie or doesn't is up to the viewer (an ambiguity the sequel kind of ruins just by existing, sadly). It's complex, it's meaningful. And saying there's no grey to Joel's actions, that there was never a chance of success, that Ellie should just thank him, shits all over that. e: man what a good game

rabidsquid posted:i think asking the question of "will the cure work" in the last of us is like intensely silly. if you played through the game and strung along with the plot thinking "it's totally realistic and possible to mass produce this theoretical cure and then also distribute it and also that's going to bring order back to society" i really dont know what to say about that I think this is a weird assumption that has nothing to do with the plot or themes of the game and everything to do with you bringing a bunch of outside knowledge. That's not even a plot hole it's just a refusal to take the game at its word for no reason. There's no actual reason to think about it in this way, because the game doesn't comment on it at all and if you do there's no game. e: If your complaint is "why doesn't the game address this" then that's at least a criticism, but I suspect that's not where you're going with this.

The game very clearly skips over a lot of the establishment of the Fireflies because once you find them the game's almost over but I think that a story in which there was no chance of success whatsoever is much weaker and less interesting, so I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt pretty far in that direction.

Assuming they're 100% wrong and unable to do anything they say, I think that's actually kind of a problem that makes me like the game less, not because I want them to be right but because it makes the situation way simpler and less interesting. They should probably have addressed some of the specifics of their plan in the game, though. But also Joel doesn't know or care any about any of this so it's not even all that relevant to the choice he makes, so whatever.

I played it three times for the platinum, but when I say that I'm talking about poo poo like the story and overall pacing. The gunplay feels best in 4, and while people really like the grenade throwback in 3 it kind of ruins that game, which should be about forcing you into constant motion and run-and-gun tactics. Also 3 has some garbage combat arenas, while 4 has some of the best in the series. Also 3's pacing is loving dire, there's incredibly long segments with little to no combat that drag on replays.

The serious parts of Uncharted 4 are the good parts of that game. The series finally telling a legitimately compelling story was great.fruit on the bottom posted:I used my PSNow trial to try the Uncharted 1 and it was alright but I wasn't really feeling the combat. Does it get better/should I just pick up the remasters instead? Uncharted 1 sets up the characters but is inessential (and has the worst combat), 2 is excellent.
