None. I didn't enjoy the combat much at all in this game, with the camera being a pretty big part of it. Just never clicked for me, maybe because I played it right after playing every Souls game and then Elden Ring back to back where I thought the combat and gameplay was brilliant. I just ran straight through the main story stuff skipping all side content in this game to get it done. *Edit - I also started the game on the hardest difficulty available on my first playthrough, and played up until shortly after the Lake area opens up. After being told numerous times that mode is more for a New Game+ type playthrough, and some areas later on would be damn near impossible, I restarted, which may have soured me a bit too on some of the experience.

It'll be Last of Us Part II Directors Cut

This game was probably made because they saw what happened to Witcher 3 sales after The Witcher series hit netflix. I think it spiked to the highest ever concurrent players on Steam, Xbox/PS and topped Sales charts for awhile, years after the game launched. CD Project Red didn't sell some updated $60 full price version to take advantage of it, they sold whatever was out, probably a $20-$30 copy at the time. Sony figured, why sell the $20 Last of Us 2 Remastered when we could maybe get $70 per head that might come over. If they offered some kind of upgrade path for currrent owners I could maybe understand, but to charge $70 for a game that has its multiplayer cut, is a step too far for what seems to be graphical upgrades. I may eventually get it on a deep discount, but even then I doubt it as I don't have time to replay old games really.

And the lvl 1 that spend $20 has a full exotic legendary looking set.

I worry about the cosmetic model in loot games, cause if u don't find any really cool looking and interesting loot while playing and all the coolest stuff is just MTX, def takes away from the excitement of finding good loot.

Ya it's buggy everywhere I think. But I love it. Very cool mix of genres.

All the Forge leaks are making it look incredible. It seems it'll be well worth the wait and a real potential game changer. The biggest issue with a lot of those game creators was that the gameplay was mediocre. Halos gameplay is top notch and creators will be able to create some really amazing stuff I imagine.

Have never played this yet. I was still planning to play the original PS4 version, because the character change and what not. Figured I'd experience the original vision of it. I think I own the Remaster on PS5 though. Does the PS4 version have 60fps? I don't care all that much about the other bells and whistles of the remaster. Just want to make sure I play a 60fps version.

Available again, no line.

Halo Infinite or Apex for PvP for the most part.

Bundles were available on PS Direct today for 5 hours so don't overpay some 2nd hand person. Should be pretty easy to find now

I loved the SNES and N64 Ogre Battle Games. Was this anything like that? Or more a turn based strategy game? I tried Fantasy Tactics once and it didn't initially grab me like the old Ogre Battle games.

Partner AI is more just immersion, as in the first game, they literally would be sneaking around in front of the enemies during stealth segments, and the enemies would just not see them. I think in the 2nd game, they actually got noticed and would trigger enemies. Not sure if that'll be the case in this Remake, or if the partner AI will hide better, but stil be invisible. Enemy AI, I'd hope will improve the gameplay, but I never found the enemy AI in LoU2 to feel all that different than any other game. They always seemed to do the same patterns as any other cover/stealth shooter I played. See a body, call backup, slowly approach body to be killed in the same way, see's a pile of 5 bodies, slowly walks up to pile to investigate.

That game may have been my GotY whatever year it came out, I enjoyed it that much. Definitely the type of game I really dig. I also bought it on PC but never really put a lot of time into it on there, a few other friends never bought it like initially planned.

Technically 3rd, sold the 1st, kept the 2nd, now i have a 3rd sitting here boxed up. May use it as a prize for something work related.

I ended up ordering a Digital Bundle when it was up on PS Direct for a few hours the other day. Seems they are much easier to get now, as the last few PS Directs they seemed to be up for a few hours with no wait or struggle to get in and order one.

Weren't they working with the Modding Community largely to do that stuff, I don't think it's much of actual 343 that were working on it.

I agree a $40 price tag would have been better received. They also cut out Factions so you're getting less content than the original game as well.

An official response. How Naughty Dog rebuilt The Last of Us Part I BLOG.PLAYSTATION.COM Naughty Dog walks through visual and gameplay-related improvements in a new Features Video. I still dont see the overhauled gameplay, but you all can make up your own minds.

There is footage that has leaked, and the control scheme. There is no dodge, which was a big part of the combat in LoU2. No Prone. And the combat animations looked identical to the original. I haven't played either enough to really know if its different or not, but the reaction on Twitter has been very negative, but what else is new.

Could play on a Tablet, or TV

Xbox is Publishing this, so I though it was always understood it'd be exclusive. Seems Xbox likes these types of projects for Game Pass. They also published Tell Me Why with Dontnod. Probably because they lend themselves to episodic releases which is good for Game Pass.

Its pretty clear Sony extended the exclusivity. Why would Square make Crisis Core for Xbox but not FF7 Remake. They clearly can't yet because of contractual obligations to Sony. Now whether or not Sony paid to keep the entire Trilogy exclusive or not, who knows. I doubt it. I'd expect FF7 Remake to come to Xbox either next winter when Rebirth launched, or when the full Trilogy is done they finally drop them all for Xbox.

They have Valheim on the card of upcoming games but didnt announce a console version til today. They said some new announcements today.

Really should have done better with the naming. Silver, Gold, Platinum or something. I don't know which tier anyone is ever talking about.
