Is it QTE-heavy? Almost trashed TW2 in the bin for that. Hydra boss. The assassin did the rest, but that was at least not a bloody QTE. I hate them. There was this Quantic Dream game full of them. It started very strong, like for the duration of the demo. The rest was pure QTE nollocks and a story where a guy turns zombie and makes love to the police officer in pursuit. Jesus, that was so bad - and they hyped this crap up so much.

Indigo Prophecy came out 20 years ago and helped cement the heavy QTE trend we saw in the mid/late 2000s (Shenmue was the first to start the "modern" QTE fad). Last of Us does use QTEs but they are relatively simple and are used for narrative effect. Gameplay scenes are you usually throwing a can of explosive nails at something and trying to not waste ammo.
The Last of Us 2's combat system was amazing and visceral, far better than the first game. I, uh, probably will never replay it though because that story is dark. Waaaaaaaay dark. And I love dark stuff! But the entire game just gives you a very uneasy, nervous and bitter feeling all the way through. The end I was just like...please. Just stop. Please.
And hey, I actually liked Indigo Prophecy! While Jade Empire released the same year and had some major choices that affected the games story, Indigo Prophecy had some really insane branching that could happen based on your choices and if you failed certain encounters and objectives. For 2005 it was pretty neat!

What happens? Do they dissect Ellie for a cure? She's a carrier, no?
Man, I ain't spoiling nothing.
I will say the choices characters make are so flawed and hurtful and stupidly human. It's about how we deal with loss and anger and how we continue to make bad choices, even when we know we'll lose everything making those choices. How we can't let go, even after there's nothing to hold on to.
Great game, great story, great ending. Just...a lot.

It's like 10 years old? What's there to spoil?
What does "soft death" mean?
As part of the salvage addition ships now have a chance of just being disabled rather than destroyed completely.
Meaning, in theory, that you can scrap more stuff / defend what's left etc. (Assuming it's not a tumbling death trap, and that the general box debris hasn't brought the client and server to their knees
)
Interesting analysis regarding profitability and hiring "protection".... assuming as well that protection doesn't turn out to be a ganker pretending to offer protection.
Ah, but then you could just respawn at the 40 rivers and get right back on the road to restoration, no?As part of the salvage addition ships now have a chance of just being disabled rather than destroyed completely.

TheAgent's talking about the sequal, which is about two years old IIRC, and another Playstation exclusive ATM.
Baptisms of fire are also available...
Dear god...

Idiocy knows no bounds.
I didnt know there is sequel.
As a never-played, I don't really get how the fungus stuff is supposed to work (you'd think spores, but it seems to be all about being bitten, so just like any other zombies, and they're forever wandering around places covered in mushrooms without issues.) If you're not coming in with an attachment to the game it ends up being not all that different from Walking Dead, just a bit less soap opera-y. Pascal is excellent. If you didn't know it was based on a game you probably wouldn't guess, which is probably a compliment to both the show and the game.I'd be interested to hear first hand how someone who hasn't played the game views the TV series going in blind...strangely enough, I don't know anyone personally who hasn't played the game and loved it...neither do any of those I know who've played the game not love the TV series so far...it seems to have broken the game to screen adaptation curse going by the media reviews I've read. Still 7 episodes to go of course, but so far, it's a cracker
I expect Roberts is watching it in the home theatre in his mansion, chuckling to himself at how amateurish and shallow it is, while he plans the twelftieth rewrite of S42, now with all-new space zombies.
