Meanwhile the Ponies are triggered hard by an accurate description

It's a movie game and there's a TV show of the same story starting in one week. I'm going to save my money and watch the show. Definitely would have been more interested if they had timed the release of the pc version to be closer to the end of season 1 of the show, that's when the iron was hot

What makes it a movie game ?

I think TLOU is more interested in telling a story than being a game. There's definitely a place for that, and I think the stories in these games are at the peak of the medium. But the gameplay mostly functions as connective tissue to the cutscenes and dialogue sections. I think games like this suffer doubly from a long delay because a lot of people who are interested will have already watched the story on youtube, and they're actually not missing much by not playing the game. The gameplay isn't anything we haven't seen a thousand times before, it's the story and presentation that are the real selling points in my eyes. Cheers

You... have played TLOU2 right? It has the best TPS combat since MGSV, No Return mode highlights it and the final setpiece level is probably the best vertical slice since the MGS2 Tanker

You really don't know what you're talking about.

Movie game lol.

You should play the game before making assumptions on the gameplay.

TLOU2 has one of the greatest gameplay in the market, easily top 3 best TPS ever….


The game sold probably >50k units and is (probably again) already generating profit for Sony.

A shame they don't advertise it more, but I guess the show in 2 weeks will give it a nice boost.

I've "played" it for a couple of hours (the first few hours are mostly cutscenes and walking around listening to dialogue) , and I watched it on youtube years ago. Played through the first game one time and I loved it but never wanted to replay it because the gameplay was so shallow. I think TLOU2 has 11 hours of cutscenes so it doesn't seem like a huge stretch to call it a movie game. It's what they were going for and they were very successful.

Jeff needs to be more careful with his alts -

This is just factually incorrect, in terms of pure cutscene length it's probably 4 hrs at most, and as a 25 hr game for most people, that's still 20 hrs of game play most will get out of the game.

I actually think part 2 has much a greater portion of the game as gameplay versus cutscenes than part 1 has.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Tlou2 is without a doubt one of the best playing and smoothest third person shooters ever made.

Also not that it makes any real difference, but the length in total for all cutscenes is somewhere around 3 and a half hours and the game takes at least 25 hours to beat.
