No thread for this game? Odd. Either way, I'll be replaying this one over the coming weeks so that I'm fresh for Part II. As it stands, it seems one of the few Spring games that hasn't been delayed to the end of the year. So here's a thread to chat if you are re-playing the first one. * Seems reasonable that SPOILERS are permitted for Part I *And as we reach the second, we can discuss that game. * NO GAME SPOILERS would seem sensible for some months at least, for Part II *
The Spoiler thread is here:

I played the original once already and that was good enough for me. I definitely won't replay it again because I have a massive video game backlog.
The best part:

www.playstationlifestyle.net/2020/04/05/troy-baker-talks-the-last-of-us-2-story/Not really a good sign when you have folks asking people to be "open minded" before the game even drops.....if the story is good it will stand on its own merits and nobody will have to worry about being "open minded"....but ever since the controversial trailer showing Ellie's kiss with her love interest, this game has been marked as "agenda pushing"....let me be clear i don't have an issue with Ellie's sexual preference, but the way Naughty Dog presented it was in a way that was like "c'mon really?" And yes, if they would have showed Joel kissing some chick in such detail in a trailer the reaction would have been the same...like "why?"...the only way this can have a full impact is if the character was in the last game and the player has some kind of emotional connection to the character....showing that kiss then expecting the player to somehow share in the character's pain would have "zero effect" towards the player without any type of background knowledge to work from....(maybe they will present this in the game, but for the trailer it doesn't get the job done) You could have showed Ellie's relationship through the game during the story, ..not completely focus on that kiss that boarded on going into creepy territory..... but i guess they was trying to set you up as to why they then show Ellie going on a somewhat killing spree afterwards...i did read the story is one based on "revenge" so i'm assuming the love interest gets killed which triggers Ellie to get revenge. I still think the game will be good, i just don't like the "hey look we have a gay relationship in our game" and its done in such a tacky fashion....Mass Effect and other games have had all types of relationships whether you choose them or not, but they are done in a more structured and mature manner...not in the "hey look at us" type of way....

It was released by a disgruntled employee due to a pay dispute. While I feel for the writers who worked six years on the game, Naughty Dog has a reputation for treating their employees like garbage, putting them through unbearable crunches. I’ve read rumors of the bad working conditions during the making of the TLOU2. In my mind, great games shouldn’t be built on the broken backs of workers who are underpaid for their talents.

The leaks must have caused quite the outrage at Sony HQ because they just announced the release date of not just Part II but also Ghosts of Tsushima: blog.us.playstation.com/2020/04/27/release-date-updates-for-the-last-of-us-part-ii-ghost-of-tsushima/Can’t wait for my Kurosawa-inspired goodness.

Yeah, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth where even if you love the game, you have that subtle bitterness in the back of your throat.

gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/691087-playstation-4/78498953 Here's an article about the working conditions at Naughty Dog that was released I think a month ago. Pretty horrifying seeing people sacrifice A LOT of their personal life for the game. It's almost as bad as the Manga industry with the way the grind out writers.

I think the delayed indefinitely announcement was an attempt to rehaul certain parts of the game. But now with the leaks, that is impossible and so their focus is on mitigation of damage.

The leaks are something else. Don't read if you didn't look at the leaks and want to remain unspoilered. Last warning... It's understandable that Abby wanted revenge for her dad but Druckmann shoehorning in his false moral equivalence between Joel killing the surgeon to protect Ellie versus Abby wanting revenge for her murderous father is just bullshit.

So just finished reading the leaks....I gotta say I'm glad I decided not to support this studio after their horrible work habits. It's pretty clear to me this studio is like a lot of Hollywood right now. Do the exact opposite of what fans expect. This is, imho, a horrible, disgusting narrative. I get that that is the point, but this is just awful for me. I can't believe this is what they drove their employees into the ground for 6 years for.
I'm not sure there is a strong enough word to express my disappointment.

What do you mean by the writer inserting his false equivalence? Druckmann said in an interview that the game's theme is the cycle of revenge, revenge begets revenge yadda yadda. Judging by Abby being the a playable character it's obvious the writers will try to make the character sympathetic after they nearly killed a pregnant woman.

Yeah after reading spoilers, I must say I'm glad I didn't get into TLOU. I've played the first one and I was just turned off by the utter bleakness. I mean I enjoy dark and depressing (Witcher, Fallout, Metro) but there is a line where I just stop playing because everyone is just a jerk. The Last Of Us I felt crossed it, I'll be honest It was hard for me to sympathize with Joel and even Ellie at times and the world just kept dumping on the darkness with any likable character being killed off. It seems that the sequel ups the ante and here I am wondering when can we storylines where a smile doesn't mark you for death?! Just because your world is a depressing mess doesn't mean it's more "mature" it just means it's a depressing mess. A dark world can cross into cheesy and immature. I mean look at Warhammer but at least with Warhammer it embraces it, with TLOU 2 the writer seems to want to make some artistic statement but ends up looking ridiculous with a lot Grimdark he puts in there.

What?! Why?! You honestly think that you're going to gain an audience's sympathy for nearly an pregnant woman?! The new protag is a student of Kratos' School of Vengeance, but the pregger was targeted because she's Ellie's gf who's at the wrong place and time. Mind you other characters were killed during this incident too. All of this to avenge a psycho from a terrorist organisation who killed countless people in order to find a cure for the virus, and was willing to dissect a live kid with no guarantee that their DNA will help in finding a cure to said virus.
