Just over 5 hours and 30 minutes left.

I'll be back after playing at least a few hours of this game.

Is it worth the risk? Some people got it earlier so I'm not going to come back to talk about until I've finished a substantial amount of the game.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

You got a retail version? I bought it digital because I wasn't sure I'd be able to get a retail version.

Yes sir

I agree with you. The negativityOf this place is hardly the place to foster the enjoyment of a game, especially a highly anticipated one.

Yep, that as well. I'm going into this and letting the story take me where ever it wants me to go. The last thing I want is any other negative distractions. This is going to be an experience.

You're right.


I should really just come back after completing the game.

Spoilers not allowed in here I assume, even tagged?

 

[Shady_PL]

Can't wait to read the reactions.

It's going to be funny.

 

[Danjin44]

Godspeed fam, sounds like torture to me hah

For me in a survival game like this, I need to struggle to stay alive, if I don't then there is no point.

When it releases you can discuss things as you encounter them in your playthrough, with major plot points spoiler tagged appropriately.

 

[Hostile_18]

I'll be back as I play to talk about it guys. I just ignore the posts that are overly negative without good critique.

15 minutes!

 

[GribbleGrunger]

See you all later. *Takes big breath* Here we go. LAUNCH!

 

[JimiNutz]

Here we go!

 

[Hostile_18]

This is it guys. Enjoy! ❤

 

[Yoshichan]

Wish me luck everyone.

 

[Falcs]

Good luck y'all! As someone who's read all the spoilers..

This thread is Fukin SUB'D!

 

[skneogaf]

The motion blur is way too high! It makes my eyes hurt!

I'm going to turn it down bit by bit as I ain't getting used to that anytime soon.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

OK FUCK.

I need to get this out.

This game (after having only played 30 minutes of it) is so engrossing. I love how the characters interact, how they animate, how they show emotion.

It's like i'm watching a really good TV series or movie. The graphics are great however i would have liked Naughty Dog to take more advantage of the Pro's horsepower. Though the game has really amazing details.

I can't wait to get home to play more.

 

[Hostile_18]

Oh no theres alot of film grain you can't turn off .

Not the end of the world but still very noticable.

 

[saintjules]

Have to wait until 12PM ET tomorrow because Gamestop opens later under regulations. Should be a good, long journey for sure.

 

[Hostile_18]

Spoiler: First 5 minutes Easter egg...

In Ellies room shes got the little boys Robot from the first game and a full phat PS3 with Jack and Dexter collection!

 

[Shady_PL]

Can't wait. Have to wait until 12PM ET tomorrow because Gamestop opens later.

You are lucky for not experiencing it for that long.

 

[Woggleman]

My friend is loving this game and he is a tough critic to please so I believe him.

 

[Biff]

What's the latest word on multiplayer / Factions? Will it be coming as DLC specific to TLOU2, or will it be a standalone game?

Trying to decide if I should physical or digital this. If Factions is standalone, then I can trade in the physical once done single player. But if Factions is DLC, then I need the base version anyway so I can just digital download this at midnight to start playing right away!

 

[Hostile_18]

The trophy list is really small. Possibly the smallest I've seen in a AAA game. Lots of golds and silvers. Interesting!

 

[J____Av]

Looks absolute trash. Sorry I'm sitting this one out after seeing all the leaked cut scenes.

And you felt the need to come to the game thread and say that? Thats kinda pathetic man.

I think I will trust my own judgment rather than NeoGAF which usually they are hyperbolic and oversensitive about everything.

 

[Keihart]

Has someone play it here already? i don't know if i start tonight or tomorrow because i don't really want to spend to much time in a slow introduction if i play it tonight

Oh boy.... you will be in for a big surprise lol.

 

[Keihart]

you sound shady.

 

[Danjin44]

Oh boy.... you will be in for a big surprise lol.

Oh you can bet your ass that's I'm excited about.

 

[Woggleman]

I personally know somebody who is about ten hours in and loves this game. People I hear about who have actually played it seem to like it very much and if they don't they at least have an intelligent argument against it like Skillup. I most likely will not agree with him but I respect him. If people don't like it then play something else. It is not healthy to be that obsessed with something you hate.

 

[Woggleman]

Oh you can bet your ass that's I'm excited about.

After both of us have made it through this story we should PM and trade some views and thoughts. That other spoiler thread is yikes.

 

[Shady_PL]

The game is such trainwreck that the whole thing is just entertaining.

In your opinion. Many people who I respect think differently.

Yeah, it all makes sense.

Earlier this week a dude with an early copy who’s a trophy hunter heard that the multiplayer game is gonna be stand alone free to play, & have its own trophy list.

Just.. stop being a dick lol

No offence but I trust my own judgment over yours.

Yeah, I respect Skillup's review, but I know once I play it I may end up finding things I'll disagree with him on.

For instance there's going to be people who focus alot on story to see if it makes sense overall and if it ties things together. Then there's others that don't mind if the story is average so long as the gameplay and combat feel excellent. It's going to be a mixed bag for some, but the there will be people who will seriously enjoy this game which will outweigh the minority that don't.

 

[Woggleman]

If this game is such a trainwreck then why spend so much time obsessing over it? I didn't like Death Stranding but I just moved on and worried about other things.

They're just here to cause problems, I'd hit ignore and move on lol.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

I start playing in 20 minutes when my install completes ooooohhh baby!!!!

 

[Woggleman]

My platinum headphones showed up today and my controller has a full charge so I am good to go.

The thing is people have their own idea how the story should go, so when devs doesn’t follow what they expect then they considered it “trainwreck”.

 

[Droxcy]

Wife gave me permission for a midnight release, which fellas, when a woman is 8 mos. pregnant is no small feat. It's gonna be sweet, got my buddy coming over and my baby sister coming too. Gonna finish the last 2 hours of TloU that we didn't finish last week and then jump straight into the sequel at midnight. I'm so stoked.

Have fun!

Oh nice! Was this published somewhere? Or a post on GAF??

That is true but at the end of the day move on, If you ask me most great artists create something divisive once in their career. This might the gaming equivalent to Bob Dylan going electric.
