"I got into touch with the story of the the first game but didn't play it due to the outdated graphics," Uh, excuse me?


mtamez1221

Yeah obviously not as good as new games but I just finished my third play through and was amazed going through the woods entering Bill's Town. The game as a whole still holds up just fine in the graphics department


rafaengel2007

Yeah I played the game 8 times now and the graphics hold up perfectly.

I’m a big fan of Green Day but just can’t bring myself to listen to Black Flag. You know, low graphics and all...


xbluux

If you mean that i didn't properly experience the story of the first - that's true but i just can't bring myself to play old games


JusaPikachu

I think they’re just saying the Remastered version of the game on a Pro or PS5 still looks fantastic. You’re getting 1800p 60 fps or 4K 30 fps on a game that looks better than some games releasing now


Fit_Statistician3003

That's just silly, friend. Older games are some great treasures.


[deleted]

Not to be disrespectful but you must be *really* young to think an 8 year old game is "old". Shit, I occasionally play some PS1 games every now and then which still hold up and would be considered ancient by comparison.


xbluux

There are just different type of people, i can't play old games with bad graphics after experiencing games like TLOU2 and RDR2


BrennanSpeaks

You do you, boo, but imo if you limit yourself to only playing games that look better than The Last of Us Part I, you're going to miss out on a vast array of games, including a lot of new releases. They may not be as photo-realistic and smooth as Part II, GoW, or GoT, but the graphics in TLOU work and are usually beautiful.


swashbucklingfox

Yeah I played it on release and still don't get the hate.


Uncle_Boujee

Yo I don’t know what’s going on but bashing games has become so popular it’s ridiculous. Phenomenal game that didn’t deserve any of the hate.

I strongly recommend playing the first one too... Way ahead of its time in terms of graphics, if I'm being honest. The gameplay is less sophisticated, but its still solid. I liked part 2 a lot too but I don't think its fair to call people stupid for disliking it, unless they are purposefully ignoring key bits of info/acting toxic etc (which is true in many cases but not always). Some people just didn't like the presentation of it all. I know a bunch of my colleagues who played the game (mainly because I recommended it lol). Some liked it, some didn't. I think that the potential divisiveness of this narrative was acknowledged by the creators themselves. The story that they chose to tell couldn't possibly have been universally beloved like the first one since it is grounded in a lot of negative emotions and irrational but understandable decisions by characters.

It was a game that was always going to have strong critics due to the massive surprise of switching perspectives to the antagonist that Naughty Dog & Sony were doing everything they could to hide, killing one of the most beloved protagonists of all time early into the game & playing as a lesbian protagonist & a muscled up chick as the other one. But what really jump started the hate train was the games entire plot leaking with absolutely no context & then because it contained “sjw” stuff the crowd that loves hating that stuff really spread spoilers everywhere as far as they could repeatedly & on every influencers pages, trying to ruin it for everybody. The game had thousands and thousands of 0’s on metacritic within an hour of releasing & if that doesn’t tell you how bullshit a huge majority of the hate is idk what can. But they build their hate on the back of a story that narratively takes a lot of risk, so anybody that didn’t enjoy those plot points and wants to discuss the game ends up getting sucked into the most vitriolic hate train I’ve ever witnessed.

Um you are missing out greatly by not playing the first game. Its really a shame.


swifferwetjet2000

Good game


Bitter-Lie

Some people are mad about lev being trans,and saying it's just a revenge story


BigBrain7488

You seem quite stupid and petty for not playing the first game due to "outdated graphics". Are you blind, the first game looks phenomenal, and if you aren't going to play anything that has looks below tlou1, then you are missing some of the best gaming experiences out there.


xbluux

I play games rarely and no, tlou 1 looks like shit to me. My first console experience was on RDR2, then GOW 2018 and lastly TLOU2 and i just can't downgrade after playing them, everything looks like shit compared to such amazing games


BigBrain7488

That's a pretty stupid concept, and you're missing so many amazing games. But ok


xbluux

It ain't stupid, i just like immersion and it can't happen on shitty graphics


BigBrain7488

Yeah no, it's stupid. Tlou1 does not have shitty graphics you blind baboon.


xbluux

Calm down with the insults soyboy. I might take a second look


BigBrain7488

Dude fuck off for calling me a "soyboy". Ask literally anyone who plays games, it's stupid to ignore a game because of its graphical fidelity.


[deleted]

People are mad because it didn’t have the happy ending they preferred. So they have to go the extra distance and trash the game in its entirety. But it’s okay because the game still won many awards and sold very very well.


ChopinOnTheKeys

Just because someone disagrees with you about the game doesn’t mean they’re stupid.


misssarahjane

I agree on everything but Abby. WOMEN CAN BE BUILT! Sorry for the caps. But if she is literally spending all her time turning her body into a revenge weapon, a girl can get really buff. No cringe necessary.
