Hey everyone, this question has probably been asked before but im still quite confused šŸ˜“ i just finished tlou2 and i wanna go back to get some collectibles that i missed out on. However, whenever i try to load up a chapter and get the collectables from it, it doesnt count as completed and id basically have to play through tlou2 again? Im super lost ā˜ ļø i almost had a heart attack just now thinking id have to go through all of that again because of a silly mistake i made but thank god theres the complete file. Could anyone dumb things down for me and explain how i can recollect artifacts etc? Much appreciated :)

Games with Similar Mechanics?

I recently completed both games and loved them. The combat is so fluid and adaptable. It really felt like a "play as you want" game. It was so satisfying to be able to dip in and out of the shadows, navigate the environments, and take out enemies in what I tend to describe as "murder ballets."

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a game with a similar focus/mechanic. I have already played all of the Dishonored franchise, as well as most of the Hitman franchise (including the World of Assassination trilogy).

Thanks!

Cant decide wich to buy on Black Friday PSN

Hello. Today, when PSN Black Friday began, I saw the offers and I would like to ask you what games you recommend I buy. I have a budget of 2000 lps, I could go up 100 lps more or thereabouts. Below is the list of games that interested me:

Howards Legacy: 525 lps

Read Dead 2: 500 lps

The last of Us 2 Remaster: 1000 lps

Assassins Creed Mirage: 575lps

Cuphead: 325 lps

Allan Wake 2: 1000lps

Pleague Tale Requiem 600lps

These are the ones that catch my attention the most, the strongest are TLOU 2 and Allan Wake 2, of both I have played the first game but I have still seen comments about Read Dead, it is very good, and about Mirage I don't know if it is good.

Tampons

After years of my friend pushing me to watch The Last of Us Iā€™m finally on episode 3 and I just want to say how much I appreciate the writers factoring in the Tampax box and showing her putting it in her backpack. Itā€™s something thatā€™s always bothered me about dystopian future series is that periods never seem to be addressed even though itā€™s something that happens to most women 12 times a year.

Do you think Abby would've died if Joel and Tommy didnā€™t find her in the blizzard?

Purely hypothetical, just for fun question. Iā€™ve seen people say that Abby would've died if Joel hadn't killed that runner that was attacking her in the snow storm and if she didnā€™t team up with Joel and Tommy. Personally, I donā€™t think she would've if they didn't show up. We see her bite ears off, risk her life to choke someone out with her thighs, and absolutely claw her way out of any situation just to stay alive. So, do you think she would've found a way out of that storm alive, had Joel and Tommy not shown up?

Is Abby the villain?

In Santa Barbara Abby writes a letter to Owen. Why didnā€™t she include Mel or Manny in that letter?

The plot for 'The Last Of Us Part 3'

Any potential theories or hopes for part 3?

Mine is:

Abby and Lev have found and joined the Fireflies.
The Fireflies have a new potential cure/ doctor that can make a cure based on information the fireflies had in Part 1 provided they have Ellie.
Abby knows where Ellie is (Assuming Jackson), her and Lev decide to go get her/ convince Ellie there is hope to cure this bla bla bla.
Ellie still reeling from not sacrificing herself in Part 1 because of Joel begrudgingly decides to go along with Abby and Lev.
Ellie sees a glimpse of what she used to have with Joel between Abby and Lev.
Abby and Ellie have to reluctantly save one another throughout the journey to wherever the Fireflies are slowly forming some sort of twisted bond.
Ellie and Lev get along and Abby notices/ see's how good natured Ellie can be.
Eventually Abby knowing the cure is going to kill Ellie she's realising why Joel did what he did all those years ago after spending weeks/months on the road.
Ellie still sacrifices herself and allows the brain surgery to happen.

Ellie dies, the cure doesn't work, Joel was right.
Abby is riddled with the guilt of it. The last shot of the game is Abby staring exactly like Ellie at the end of 1. Accepting the awful truth.

Also I'd like to think somewhere along the way you get to play as Lev. Lev was doing all sorts of parkour stuff whilst running around the ruins of Seattle. Would be a nice way to add a new dynamic to gameplay in Pt3.

Just an idea, don't shoot me in the comments.

This is something that makes me glad life is tough, as it ensures that not every Tom, Dick, and Harry can hold value.

I would love to know other views on this absurd video....

Iā€™m glad this guy isnā€™t a popular YouTuber; otherwise, his viewers might actually believe in his absurd theories and flawed logic.

Why is this game is so long šŸ˜­

Iā€™m replaying the game after 2 years and back then I was completely drained after finishing it. I brought back the courage to replay the remastered and it is baffling to me that JUST Ellieā€™s Seattle section is almost equivalent to the entire length of the first game. Just started Abbyā€™s part and already dreading of whatā€™s more to come. Donā€™t get me the wrong the game is amazing but I think Naughty Dog stretched it wayyyy too much.

What IF? The Last Of Us Part 2's narrative was restructured.

I absolutely loved The Last Of Us Part 2, and I was upset to see so many people hating on it.

Personally, I wouldn't change it. But in hindsight, would the backlash be lessened if we didn't see Joels death until later in the game?

Example:
Don't change any of the key plot points, just keep Joels death hidden until after Abby's half of the game.

Imagine hunting down this mysterious Abby, only assuming that something has happened to Joel and not knowing exactly what? We have all of the Joel flashback sequences that build a story that Ellie has fallen out with him, the trail that Tommy leaves could be interpreted as Joels trail and the player would think they're looking for Joel before he does something stupid. Only to get to the theatre and find out you're trailing Tommy and Abby shows up. And now you get to immediately see Abby's side without the predefined hatred of seeing what she's done, building up empathy for her before we find out.

Would people be angrier/ less upset/ exactly the same?

Part 2 makes more and more sense as I grow up.

Ellie not killing Abby at the end of part 2 definitely had me in a bit of limbo after finishing the game. But, I trusted naughty dog enough to go with it and try my best to understand it.

And I totally did! After spending enough time with my thoughts and breaking stuff down, I totally understood why Ellie did what she did.

But... I didn't feel it.

Fast forward 4 years, After losing a close loved one, I was in a place I had never been in.

One of the most surreal things I experienced in that place was seeing flashes of my loved one when I closed my eyes. And I would see them in a different way depending on my mood. My mind immediately when to Ellie and Abby.

Now, I don't know if I saw those flashes because of what I had experienced in the game before or it's actually something that people experience. But still, it had a major effect on me. I felt much more inclined to make important changes and also, letting go of little things that didn't serve me.

It's amazing how letting go of something completely irrelevant, helps get over something much more important.

I don't want to go too much into it. But I would love hear if people have had similar experiences!

TLOU is Beautiful

Iā€™m in the beginning parts of the game, specifically when Ellie gets handed a firearm for the first time by Joel.

I just want to say, for a game that has been out for awhile, it is absolutely beautiful. Iā€™m running a RX 7900 XTX + i9 12900k at 1440p max settings, and itā€™s just amazing.

It might be bold to say this, but it looks on par with titles coming out even currently where I cannot max the settings out like I can with TLOU Part 1, which shows just how optimized the game is. I zoned out at one point looking at the lighting of the sun hitting the environment around me. It was genuinely cool.

The game feels really immersive, and as a result, itā€™s made me genuinely fearful of the ā€œzombiesā€ in the game, specifically the clickers. I had to tone down the difficulty to the lowest setting because I genuinely couldnā€™t convince my hand to move my character forward due to potentially being jumped by three clickers.

I also really dislike sneaking past enemies in games, so having the option to go blazing with my weapons is nice when you lower the scarcity of ammo in the settings. Thats another thing I like, being able to change the settings of the game to fit your playstyle more is nice.

So far, I have nothing but positive things to say about this game.

Psp5? PC?

Do I buy a psp5 to play this? Iā€™m an Xbox girly and donā€™t have a gaming pc. HUGE RDR fan so itā€™s anything as acclaimed as that I think it would be worth it. Thoughts?

I think Jackson will regress (technology wise) in after a few decades

I mean, unlike FEDRA (the only faction that still has factories) Jackson has no means of production or heavy industry, aside from minor ones like logging, and food production.

Jackson, (despite being stable) relies on scavenging and repurposing for resources, while maintaining pre-outbreak infrastructure with what limited means they have. And we all know that scavenging wont cut in the long term

Like example, how many years until Jackson's basic/rudimentary maintenance can no longer be enough to keep the hydro dam working. How many years until the electronics within Jackson deteriorate after many years of use. How many years until they run out of materials to scavenge and repurpose

TLOU Beginner

Hi! I'm thinking about buying a PS specifically to play TLOU.

The thing is, I've never ever played a so called shooting game, so I was wondering if it was easy for a begginer to get the hang of playing these types of games starting with TLOU. Maybe on easy mode?

(Might I add, I get very stressed playing survival games..)

Do you even think it's worth it, getting a PS if I'm a beginner?

Thanks in advance!
