@TheGreatGhoul: yeah it's stupid that you can only help people in the way of blue. they should erase the way of blue (and the sentinels) and just have darkmoon blades help with any random invasions. i mean 99% of all random invaders do not play fair (hide behind enemies) and drink estus after estus and their point is always to halt the progress of the hosting player so it should actually be fair to get a blue no matter what covenant you have equipped.
@faustsketcher: what it exactly did you expect from the game? or what was visible in that trailer that is not in the final game? i haven't bought it but from the reviews and gameplay vids it looks to me exactly like it did back then. they never showed what you can actually do in the game besides mining, flying and upgrading and that is exactly what you do do in this game.
after the e3 trailer i was thinking "cool idea with the planets, but what do you actually do gameplay-wise?" so a year passed and the trailers still didn't show anything new. At that point it was clear to me it doesn't have interesting gameplay for me (otherwise they would have shown it) so i'm not interested. It is so baffling to me that so many people expected some legendary game or something, i don't know, when the trailers never hinted at that.
so what did everyone expect and how come so many people are so disappointed? the game turned out pretty much exactly as i thought (boring yes, but predictable boring right? at least in my mind). i'm really not trying to be an ass here, so please answer politely.
@Dragn_mastr: that would work maybe if you come across them during the events of the last of us. it would be a scene full of tension with everyone pulling their gun and then slowly everyone backs up and goes their separate ways. i don't know, if they show up it should have at least some impact on the story without making the last of us any worse.
@davillain-: i agree with you and i finished it 8x :) ps3: hard, hard+, survivor, survivor+, grounded, grounded+ ps4: grounded, grounded+ what an amazing game! i could definitely fall in love with some new characters in a different part of the world (Europe?) and maybe a different time, but yeah, please leave Joel and Ellie alone. They've been through enough ;)
@NbAlIvEr10000: technically uncharted is a game in the world of last of us, so it's unlikely. you can find the uncharted board game in the store where Ellie steals the Robot. of course it's just an easter egg and they could ignore it, but technically Nate and Joel live in different universes.
Then again, seeing how much last of us influenced uncharted 4 in almost every way (optional conversations, a lot more exposition, slower gameplay [no "run"-button? really??] even the main menu is exactly the same, and don't even get me started on the MP), with the release of uncharted 4 it kinda became a melted franchise, which i honestly did not expect or want at all, i always thought of uncharted and last of us being two different games.
she said it perfectly, it doesn't need a part 2. last of us was an amazing gaming experience with a good story and a very good ending. continuing the story of joel and ellie would be like ignoring everything the last of us has done storywise. storywise it can only be a disappointment. the 1st game set the bar too high. worse: a bad part 2 would also make the 1st game worse, because it would be associated with last of us as a whole (much like you would say dead space 1 and 2 are amazing, but you can't say "dead space" itself is amazing because of dead space 3).
i would really love it if the devs would just have the balls to make something new. they are definitely able to make good games as they've shown with uncharted, last of us and that jump'n'run with the fox.
alternatively if they would make a game in the last of us universe but with different protagonists (and maybe a different point in time) i could see myself liking it. maybe start out as survivor and at a certain point you are kinda forced to join the hunters/scavengers, but it never really sits right with you so you are eventually trying to get out. in a harsh world like that you have to have a goal, one that is motivating enough to risk everything, like Joel did. hmm, i don't really believe that there can be a good part 2, but maybe i'll be proven wrong.
seems logic to me. it was hyped a lot, but after all it's a pokemon game, so it's mostly for kids. i have no association with pokemon whatsoever (born '82, if there was a TMNT to go i'd probably download it, jk) so it never entered my mind to download it. i have a few friends who downloaded it, but every single one played the game once and then deleted it. i work at a school and even a lot of kids told me it got kinda boring. all from what i heard, never played or saw it being played myself.
@Ninjalawpsn: unless your strength is equally high you HAVE to try sharp. i mean before you use the actual gem you can see the effect it would do at the smith, so you can check beforehand if the damage becomes more (base damage gets lower but scaling damage increases).
