Is The Last of Us 2 ND's worst quality checked game?
- Thread starter s0l0kill
- Start date
No crash for me
1 instance of stuttering in an odd place (traversing a small room, i guess it decided to act as a loading portal )
1 instance of prompts (the vision thing) staying on indefinitely until the next cutscene, in a very very late chapter
1 instance of "the Rat" being stuck in a pillar
The death by fall are still so disconnected to the rest in term of quality... Uncharted fall effect, but that's not QA's work.
a few times when my weapons had full ammo, i had trouble trying to open a cupboard located beneath the ammo showing FULL, they should have made the cupboard prioritized over non-pickable stuff. But that's not a bug either, design issue.
I finished the game, got about a half of the collectibles/journal entries i think.

Yeah some animation bugs I saw and like 10 people had the basement glitch that prevents progression in the OT
I only had one crash in my entire playthrough and no other problems. I feel like they somehow broke the game after the release (I beat it at the beggining of June) or I just was extremely lucky
I've just had one animation bug where my character somehow had her hand virtually still attached to a door. So her arm was always pointing in the direction of said door, no matter what i did. Had to restart the game to get rid of it. But appart from that, pretty smooth experience.
Yeah I've hit this bug as well, I'd played a decent amount of that chapter before going to the courthouse. That website says Naughty Dog are aware of the issue and are working on a fix but I can't find any record of them saying that and they don't seem to have a support email (probably for good reasons looking the internet right now). I really don't want to restart the chapter but I also don't want to wait ages for a patch...
Didn't run into a single bug.
The only non-polished thing I saw was one slow texture load on a wooden plank after I turned around after crossing it.

I just got to the section of the game the OP mentioned as being an issue. Thsnkf
The good news is that once you know where things are, redoing the chapter goes by super fast. My initial swing through to explore every location took me two hours. My redo too a little over one. Just bite the bullet and reload.
I had like two instances where I would throw some glass and an enemy would come and inspect but would stay in that exact spot afterward instead of going back to wherever they came from. Pretty annoying when I have to go around them somehow.
Ok so a lot more bugs here. PS4 Pro, internal HDD.
Just had a game breaking (at least till reloading checkpoint) bug where a section I had to climb didn't draw in correctly. Spent half an hour running and jumping to no avail until I reloaded the checkpoint and noticed the section I was trying to jump on had to actually be lower and it loaded in correctly when I restarted.
That same section
was full of glitchy animations that killed the immersion. Characters freezing during animations, the enemies warping all over the place. Then at the end getting stuck in a weird, arms flailing animation opening a door.
Not good at all. Severe lack of polish and testing it would seem.
Hopefully it's all fixed for my second playthrough.

Jak II probably had the most bugs of any ND game I've played.
Not including the pre-Crash ones.

I only had one "issue" throughout the game, issue in quotes because it wasn't game breaking in the slightest and I kinda egged on the situation to see if I could actually break the game. Basically, there was a moment where I gained control of my character directly after a cutscene, and I did my normal thing of swinging the camera around and seeing if there were areas I could explore to gather supplies before going down the path I know is intended. In doing so, I opened a door that I don't think was supposed to be openable, and crossed into an area of the world that wasn't loading because I wasn't supposed to be there. But I could cross in and out of that threshold without getting myself stuck. Can post the video tomorrow for anyone curious, started capturing it after I entered the door and came out and went back in a couple of times.
Only had one bug during
But nothing game breaking.
the scene on the farm with Dina. As Dina was outside, there was a random arrow I could pick up just floating in the air, and because Ellie had no backpack, it just put a floating arrow on my back while I carried JJ lmao
But nothing game breaking.
I'm almost done, I think. And I haven't experienced a single bug in my thorough exploration of the game. Playing from external SSD on PS4 Amateur.
After being nearly finished with the game, I still haven't experienced any bugs or problems except one crash early on (about three hours in).
I've only encountered two bugs. One teleported Ellie back to the top of a staircase because I was crawling down said staircase. The second one was missing textures/lighting on an certain area. Elements on the background looked like bright green and yellow untextured mess.
Besides that? Nothing really.

Completed it yesterday. Had no issue. Only a small loading glitch with the textures just loading. I have a PS4 slim. No game breaking bugs or anything.
I use an HDD though and not an SSD.

I'm about 18hrs in and for how the game looks and feels, I think it's fantastic how well it runs on my OG launch PS4.
The only glitch I've encountered was a visual one where Ellie's arm freaked out after picking up something from a drawer while crouching.

Only bug I found was if I took cover in a specific spot and then turned the camera a certain direction, the entire environment disappeared.
Got the same problem here, need to reload my save to get my arm fixed xO (probably the same drawer).I'm about 18hrs in and for how the game looks and feels, I think it's fantastic how well it runs on my OG launch PS4.

After 34 hours I beat game, and only noticed 3 glitches. All minor ones.
One where I accidentally fell off a platform and landed in a spot the game didn't want me to be. Resulted in the camera freaking out until I started walking.
Another where during one section when I would aim the camera to look at my characters face during a stealth kill, the lighting coming from the flashlight on the characters body would be wrong. The flashlight would be pointing to the left of the character, but the light coming from the flashlight would show up behind the character.
Lastly, there was a wooden door I came across with rapidly flickering bullet holes that would appear/disappear on the door's texture.

In my 35 hours didn't have one crash or bug so for me it's been top quality compared to some other bug fest games recently.
Same problem at this exact section. Reload checkpoint, sorted.I'm about 18hrs in and for how the game looks and feels, I think it's fantastic how well it runs on my OG launch PS4.

I had one bug where the AI companion didn't load their script properly, and couldn't proceed with the sequence. Loading the checkpoint solved that.
Also had some minor bugs where characters clip slightly with the evironment. Those were very minor though.
Other than that, the game seems to be very polished.

Just finished the game, only glitch I ever noticed was one person dying from a Molotov but they didn't catch fire (just going through the animation as if they were on fire).
Literally the only thing I saw in a game this massive and detailed.....it's pretty fucking impressive.

I only encountered one bug. It's when
you're with Tommy in the flashback scene sniping infected. On the second part when the infected are going down the hill to eat the deer, either I killed them all and one didn't count or the last one didn't spawn. Tommy kept saying there was one more and there just wasn't anything there. Restarted the checkpoint and everything went smooth the second time.SPOILER]
I've had a few bugs, all visual. Texture pop-in, floors disappearing, everything except for enemies disappearing while in listen mode (which made me feel like a filthy cheater), and the prompt that shows up for enhanced listen mode getting permanently stuck on screen.
I got out of the water where i wasn't supposed to and went out of bounds.
Everything turned white and eventually i fell through the floor.
Aside from that yeah a couple glitches with animations and the first time i dismounted the horse in the middle of this very serious and dramatic sequence, Shimmer puts her front feet on a ledge 2mt high and decides she'd stay like that while i loot around.
Yeah I haven't encountered similar glitches in other ND games, but tbf this is by far the largest, most ambitious game ND (anyone?) ever did and I can't even begin to imagine what squashing bugs everywhere must have been like.

I encountered one visual bug (white screen with only characters remaining during a heavily scripted sequence) and one instance of ennemies popping up in from of me (almost ruined my perfect stealth of the section :P). Other than that, few frames drops but nothing deal breaking.
Of course, about 5 minutes of gameplay after posting this, I see my companion slide down an invisible rope and go straight through the floor and seemingly get stuck there. Had to restart the checkpoint.
