I don't have much to say to this because I haven't played Days Gone but I feel like you're purposefully going with a hyperbolic statement to get a reaction.

I've no clue what the story could possibly be for III but I'd hope it has Ellie traveling across the country. Seattle and California was super cool, it's really interesting seeing how every major city around the country has changed post the pandemic. Can you imagine what crazy shit is going down in the South? Up in Maine? This world has so many possible stories to tell.
You feel Days Gone has better characters. It's just your opinion. It's not fact, now is it? :)
I have another LP to recommend to those who enjoy them. This will be released very slowly over time and the channel is very little known. But if you are interested in thoughtful engagement and clearly expressed praise and criticism, watch the first episode through to the end and you'll understand you're in good hands.
That was really good, and I don't regret admitting I sung along while the entire household was sitting around the living room while I played.
I can't say I have felt the same for the Days Gone characters then again they cannot be compared because we got a whole other TLOU game that this is building upon so there is no comparison. I will say it does a couple of interesting things narrative wise but they happen way too late, somewhere in the last 3rd of the game.
But also like the performances, animation and overall production quality in TLOU 2 might as well be in another dimension. The little touches ND put in their games always add up and it is what I remember when I finish their games and distance myself from it. None of that can be found in DG that's for sure.
Here's something:
Ellie wants to redeem herself and save the world. She knows a cure will kill her, but she's got nothing to live for now.
Ellie decides to find a doctor who can make a vaccine. She travels from West back to East.
Nah, they're both character driven post apocalyptic zombie games, so it was an easy comparison. I like one a lot better than the other in terms of characters.
Hey I didn't like the story either, but saying the characters are bad is a bit silly dude. I didnt like the story and the pacing of it, but all characters are suberbly written and acted.
I actually think she should try Cuba.
Its: A) An island with restricted access, so they had much better chances of containing the epidemic.
B) A place with World Class doctors and health system.
C) Close enough to the US that she could try getting any functioning boat in florida and be able to get there.
Do you really feel the need to point out the painfully obvious? :) How do opinions on forums work?
It's the only power I have.
YES!
Yeah I've heard the game is very slow. I'm assuming the budget for TLOU 2 is probably triple what DG is too so any graphical comparisons are gonna be tough. I'm sure there are people out there that love DG and its characters and I guess I shouldn't be so dismissive just felt that person was looking for a reaction haha
Fair enough.
Its called the rat king in the model viewer in the "extras" on the main screen
I just want Ellie to be safe. I don't want her to go around out there in the wilderness. She's been through enough. Give our poor girl a break huhu.
Probably just the definition of "rat king" The boss seemed like infected fused together.
"A rat king is a collection of rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together by one of several possible mechanisms, such as entangling material like hair or sticky substances like sap or gum or getting tied together."
Edit: Oh apparently it was named that in the model viewer.
How about the virus within Ellie mutates and she now has new abilities. Might even grow back her fingers lol
That's what the character model is called in the model viewer. Plus it makes sense, bunch of infected fused together just like a rat king is a bunch of rats tangled together.
Thanks i didn't know about this
This is where I'm at as well. The story decisions like killing Joel, making Abby a protagonist etc are all fine, but it felt like the game tried way too hard in trying to provoke emotions and wasn't at all subte about it. I get that if you did feel those emotions the game was trying hard to make you feel, that the game is a masterpiece to you. To me a lot of the times those moments felt like they didn't always fit the time and place and were way too much on the nose. From the guitar moment, the zebra flashback, the Alice forced fetch interaction, the toybow gun mini game etc. They were just way too obvious in what they were trying to go for.
The one thing I always appreciated about ND is their simple stories with top notch execution. With this game the execution of the story felt like a step back to me.
I love days gone and its characters, you can go look at tons of my posts defending it....and tlou2 is miles above.
So the place where the truce was broken is the truck with the shrine in it right? The martyr gate. I'm guessing that's where she died? I thought that was pretty cool. I really wanted more Seraphite stuff.
I've been watching some LoU 1 videos, and the person they modeled Dina's face after has a playthrough. First game she ever played, apparently. Her reaction to the Fall/Sam and Henry moment is pretty strong lol

Dina plays TLOU: highlights p6

Yep, I played TLOU I a month or so before this one and it has a far better story. The ending is the conclusion of everything the game builds slowly but subtely, the giraffe moment feels special because is the only moment like this in the game. Characters like Tess dying has some impact because only a few relevant characters die.
Of course the gameplay in TLOU II is better, but the story execution and editing is quite worse and it's a shame.
I watched every episode of his Witness playthrough, probably best lp I've seen. He's great.
I'm assuming they think Abby needs to be punished physically and directly.
No, it's not just you. If I'm posting an .mp4 file I have to use the imgur embed unfortunately. Sorry bout that!
Hell, TLOU1's animations still hold up insanely well to me, so this is gonna age brilliantly imo. It looks incredible which is one of many reasons why I love GIF'n it.
I finally lifted my media blackout since i beat the game too and apparently its partly because Joel dies.
lmaooo i don't get how people didn't consider that option. I don't think there is literally any other reason Ellie would venture out on a 'Revenge' tour theme to Seattle. Everyone suspected when one of the initial trailers first came out that it was either Dina or Joel.
Is that the slow mo accessibility feature??? Looks cool AF.No, it's not just you. If I'm posting an .mp4 file I have to use the imgur embed unfortunately. Sorry bout that!

Yea...and you can look around the internet and see tons that wanted it to be Dina. Combine that with how people reacted to the e3 2018 trailer...and well...

Wow she looks A LOT like Dina. Like often when I google someone who was the face model for a character its just like... similar? But this is spot on.
From what I gathered it was also the way in which he died lol.
"my man didn't have to go out like that come onnn, y'all did him dirty! No respect!"

Yeah, her whole playthrough is great. And her channel really blew up over it. When she started playing she had around 40k subscribers, and that was really spurred by people finding out she was Dina's face model. Now it's at 108k.
Never got spoiled. Just finished it. Amazing game. Story was great didn't mind playing as Abby for half the game.
Joel did the right thing and now she understands where he was coming from.
Definitely will play again.

Yes! I love Naughty Dog, not just for their great stories and gameplay, but their accessibility options. Why does no ever developer enable things like slow motion in their games? It's sooooo useful for me anyway when making these. :D
The detail is just beautiful to behold. May sound psychopathic, but seeing blood dripping on the walls in this game is something surreal. I don't think I've eve played a video game where the blood isn't 'static', but this is probably the first where it's dripping and such.
Oh neat. Will refresh TLOU1's story with this. :pI've been watching some LoU 1 videos, and the person they modeled Dina's face after has a playthrough. First game she ever played, apparently. Her reaction to the Fall/Sam and Henry moment is pretty strong lol

Do people not understand that they would've been tortured and probably killed either way??Saw this on the TLOU Reddit in response to the Joel being too trusting criticism:
It's the only argument I seriously don't get. The names didn't matter one bit.
Seriously, a fenced in perimeter and they literally said they couldn't get back to Jackson or the Lodge.
Just watched some clips of the Dina face model playing TLOU1 right before 2 came out. Cannot wait to see the vids of her playing that!!
It struck me... we really need a TLOU1 definitive remaster. Ok we don't really need it, but I think it would be nice to get the game visually up to the standard of 2 or beyond, thinking it would be an amazing PS5 project. Hopefully if we get a trilogy of games we might get this just before the third releases, so we have the full story at a super high and future proofed fidelity.

His full podcast with Kinda Funny addresses a lot of criticism and opens my eyes to a lot of narrative decisions.
You forget that Ellie was just 14.... how can you ask a kid that age to decide something that would cost their life? Parents have say over their child till their 18 even, Joel was doing what her father would have done.
So we've been to Boston, Colorado, Seattle, Santa Barbara, and Wyoming. I guess Texas too, but that's more of a set piece really. Where would you want the next game to take place? The cliche answer would be New York, but I wouldn't mind Ellie going to Texas or Louisiana.
