The last of us 1 and then 2. There are video games and then there’s TLoU p1&2. If you can, play 1 on pc. The controls aren’t great in 1 (IMHO) but kb&m made that so much better. P2 they made the controls much better. It’s a more fun game to play in my experience with less frustrating sections, and whilst people prefer 1 or flat out don’t like 2, I think the drivers for that aren’t to do with the story or game not being good, in fact, I would say p2 is the best story driven game I’ve ever played (better than rdr2 which I loved and is another one you should consider, 1 and 2 actually). People will just not like 1 specific thing or another (there are lots of small things in the game that certain people will have issue with, you’ll understand when you play it) and then because of that 1 thing say the whole thing is bad. People that complain are often louder than those who praise.
I’ve been playing since d1 launched. I stopped a while back and dip in and out with each expansion but hate that I find myself not knowing what’s what. I’ve held off on lightfall, given the reviews. Should I bother at £15 in the sale, or say my goodbye’s?
I bought this to play on steam deck (played and completed it on console years ago). Unfortunately it crashes at the end of the first level when you jump down the chute. Gave up trying to find a solution and it being only a couple of £, I wrote it off. Seems like this might be the reason. Makes me want to try and get my £2 back.
I played 4 hours last night and I really am enjoying the game. There are a few issues but I think they things that could be improved via patches. For the most part it’s QOL things. I fixed the no ultra wide support with a hex editor but by far my biggest gripe is movement speeds. Walking is way too slow. Jogging is a little slow but not available if using kb&m. Run and sprint feel OK (sprint is maybe too fast). Using kb&m feels really bad. You go from very slow walking to a full run which ruins the immersion for me. Using controller is better but I prefer kb&m for combat. Even with controller though, the difference between walk, jog, run and sprint feels weird as they don’t blend together. I would switch between kb&m and controller but there’s not a separate setting for inverting Y for controller vs. Kb&m, which for me is a problem as I invert y on controller so switching between the two requires a change of that setting as well. For now I’m sticking with kb&m and just putting up with the fact that I feel like I’m running around like a crazy person all the time. Oh, and the fact that walk is slower for your character than it is for NPC’s is so annoying. Allowing that to happen should exclude you being able to make video games! Whoever is responsible for that needs to do better.
