Try a new build. Boom.

You can, but the community was different back then. Used to scout contested territory and report player movement. Different game when it was fresh, before it became theme park.

I'm gonna be honest, I enjoyed 2's story but I did not feel a lot of emotional weight and/or momentum on my playthrough. I felt during 1 I had such an epic journey where it all came down to a climax and Joel made a huge impactful decision, while in 2 when I was on Ellie's journey, all I kept thinking was "turn back, turn back, turn back"

I feel like it would open more avenues, in a way. Since Joel would be the focus of the "prequel", you could have more games exploring possibly further back, like a Tommy prequel or one between where him and Tommy had to survive which was described as nightmarish

Cause inflation is real, I can't and refuse to buy the same game(s) on every console. Especially if they now go for $70 to start, plus season passes, plus dlc every 6 months. Find a decent set up you like and stop giving these developers your money, it's not like they are pumping out "original 10/10" kind of games anymore. Lol 🤣

I haven’t seen an option for it because there isn’t a need for it, everything is optimized already. They wouldn’t even need to add it so long as the game could detect which system it is running on, which would be simple to accomplish. Games that can auto detect settings isn’t anything new anyway, and will probably be even more accurate because rather then working with a mishmash of parts they really only will need to work with a handful of different models.

This is one of the problems I also had with the second game. It kind of felt to me like the sacrifices of Tess, Bill, Henry and Sam and others were pretty much an afterthought. And that now it just became very personal, which felt off key given the first game highlighting how when the one moment came where Joel had to make a utilitarian decision, he did not

Yes, I have two 27" monitors and a 65" Bravia connected to my PC currently.

pc players are easily distracted by.....oh what's that shiny thing

That would be interesting. If the second game was the og release and the first was just a prequel.

Where do your friends game?

What exclusives do you want to play?

I mean look at the games with the highest revenue it's not Pokemon or CoD.

Reminds me of hell cab, PC video game

Just starves ITS TOO EASY

Only played Combat Evolved on PC when it originally came out. Currently playing the MCC collection. Halo 2 didn't do much for me, 3 + ODST were good. Really enjoying Reach (which is as far as I've got).

Personally I think I've been spoilt with PC FPS games though.

You mean the second game? No.

My problem with the second game is that the stakes went from how it could affect the world as a whole, along with how personal trauma and experiences could affect your choices, relationships, and outlook on the world.

The second game took all of that, and instead of building on it, just threw it away for an entirely different theme, and makes the ending of the first feel flat with no satisfying resolution.

As PC isn't an option for you it comes down to weighing titles -- of which there are a number of exclusives for both platforms in your situation -- and services.

Just need a bigger TV now.

It would have killed a lot of the emotional weight and momentum. 2 is phenomenal as a thematic conclusion for the series and it mostly works because it builds off of and resolves 1.

That's an Octorock.

That sounds like it would be really annoying for the people making the video games.

I don't have a PS5 of Xbox Series so I gotta ask...do the games have "make the graphics look better or worse" settings in the options the way PC games have for so long?

The diminishing returns and the fight against it are why it's stupid that Sony and Microsoft are willing to sell at a loss. Tons of games have meh graphics and sell insanely well. I say just make the system be whatever it is and leave it like that until you can affordably make a new system to take its place. Those who care so much about top tier visuals can enjoy the PC rat race.

I loved this game when it first came out lol

Okay. Altough i think that Activision is making one. Specifically infinity ward.

was just chewing on the idea of how both Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 are so beloved and how The Last of Us 1 and 2 at times have been polarising for some. Wondered if the formula may have worked had they approached it like this
