I played MGSV right before TLOU2 and I missed not being able to hide bodies but ND is not far behind.

Stealth is better in MGV… it is so good btw sad it is an unfinished game.

Weapon animation and feedback are better in TLOU2… I never had a shoot response so good in a 3rd-person shooter like TLOU2… the Bow and Shotgun are basically near perfection.

Walk, climb, stealth and shoot. What changes is the animations and the background, and they don't need to do more because their games are focused on other stuff like storytelling and graphics. Calling it gameplay perfection is actually an insult other sony studios.

Isnt that the same with most games? All games can sound repetitive if you want it to make it sound like that.

Most games arent different.

For some people it was perfect. I loved TLOU2 but I also loved Bloodborne and GOT. I have issues with each of these games but to me Bloodborne was mostly perfect.

Great to see the game review so well. Very much deserved one of the best developers out there. Outstanding purchase by Sony.

Gotta love youtube algorithms. Purposefully did not click on any Ratchet reviews or even the DF and NX gamer comparisons, and it still recommended me the final boss and ending video with the damn final boss as the preview icon. Fuck Google.

Gonna switch to Safari. This is bs. Stop using my browsing history on other websites to predict what I want to watch on youtube especially when I DONT want to watch the ending of the game that wont come out for another 3 days.

Use Freetube for PC. No recommendations just your subscriptions, no algorithm at all(and no ads).

Watched ACG's and Skill Up's review and man, I wish I could RIFT to Friday already!!! Hahaha. lol

Visuals are superb but it was some audio that stood out for me in ACG's video at around the 8 minute mark. Oh man!!! Expecting an excellent 9/10 for me personally. HYPED!!!

Why does it matter if the gameplay is good/solid? They could make other franchise with the same action adventure gameplay and would be ok because they're better at technological advancements and storytelling which is a enough distraction to the samey gameplay.

But would you call tlou "perfect gameplay" ND makes solid/polished gameplay but saying is perfect is not even an opinion, it's just basic fanboyism.

this is 100% bullshit.

i mean for fuck sake you are in the thread of a game that uses the speed of the ps5 as a new gameplay mechanic. let me not start with tlous 2. ill just say that showing any gameplay of any 3rd person shooters and i will show you a clip of tlous 2 that is substantially better(aside from kojima games I'm too bias)

I wouldnt call it fanboyism, its just a preference thing.
Some people would call Call of Duty perfect gameplay. Or Gears. Or Dark Souls etc. Its tastes.
Dark Souls to me is gameplay perfection.
But so is MGSV ( apart from the story could do some work lol )

TLOU1 is probably in my top 10 favourite games of all time. I really enjoy the gunplay and stealth and variety of enemies, mixed with the attention to detail of the world, voice acting, realism and characters.
Id say the combat in the 2nd was better but just certain things were missing.

Ellie’s quest had less dramatic/Uncharted like moments and less memorable moments. Plus Not as many scary enoucters like the first game.
For example, Bill’s town, the Henry brother section, David the pedo guy, each part really stood out. There was a few more horde/boss like moments in the 1st game that the 2nd game didnt have.
I still really enjoyed TLOU2 and loved the “openness” of it and more open sections.
I thought the Ellie boss fight was gonna end the game and leave a sour taste in my mouth but the whole California part really redeemed the journey for me, I loved it. Just wish there some more epic/Uncharted like moments throughout the game especially Ellie’s 1st part as Abbey‘s journey was more dramatic.

To me both were amazing games though and I loved the combat and how Nuaghty Dog does story presentation. No1 quite makes a game like them. You get cheap imidations like Tomb Raider (which the gameplay is great ) but the voice acting, animations, Rollercoaster action parts and story is stellar in naughty games, unmatched.

This is going to be such a treat for the weekend (when I’m not enjoying the odd drink in the sunshine). Looks sooo good. I may even have a pop at the old FF7 Intergrade as well. It doesn’t get much better than this tbh.

Grubb gave it 5/5, Phil Spencer is tweeting about it and now this from King Jason. There's no ammo left.

Quick another fake outrage thread about we believe in generations. The last 2 are running out of steam with all the same posters lol

Those people posting in those threads are bored and have nothing new to play since launch. They just brag about BC games on gamepass lol

So glad there’s finally a ‘next gen’ only game worthy of the term… Hope the scores aren’t exaggerated too much, but I know I’ll enjoy it…

Why are you guys so obsess with scores? 10/10 is not guarantee you gonna like the game, stop putting too much weight on to scores alone.
Click to expand...
I'm not, LOL, it was more jab at the reviewers. Come on, this game looks amazing and have fun game play as well as pulling of some never before stuff with the SSD speed. So why can't at least a few of them give out a 10?

Like what it missing for that final point, are they just stingy. What does a game have to be to rate a full 10?

10 doesn't mean "perfection" it just mean the reviewer enjoy the game enough to give that score, all reviews are nothing more than opinions, thats all there is to them.

This is why its important to read/watch actual review instead of just looking at the score, the thing they have issue with the game might be none issue for you and vice versa.
