Do we really need to even ask the question? Really? Our PlayStation 4 friends list is filled with The Last of Us 2, and we suspect it’s much the same for you, too. Whether or not the sequel breaks sales records is up for debate, but one thing’s for sure: it’s a monstrous release.

Now that I’m done putting together Push Square’s gigantic The Last of Us 2 guide, I’m going to be playing… The Last of Us 2. I figure a third run will finally fulfil me.
Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor
I'm not playing The Last of Us: Part II this weekend. I'm playing the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS: Maxiboost ON beta instead. Cheers. [He’s not joking! – Ed]

The Last of Us: Part II, The Last of Us: Part II, and a little bit more of The Last of Us: Part II.

I've been really itching to do a playthrough of all of the Bubsy games that I have, so I think I'll be spending this entire weekend doing that. I am of course kidding, and will very likely exclusively be playing The Last of Us: Part II all weekend. My hype is through the roof and I can't wait!

This weekend I’ll be playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake. That’s right, I’ve still not finished it, and I’m not letting myself play The Last of Us 2. The good news is I only have one chapter left, so I should be on TLOU2 by the end of the weekend!

Gorgeous visuals, fantastic writing, and brutal violence: Naughty Dog's latest all weekend.
Rebecca Stow, Reviewer
This week I re-downloaded Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time since the game's release in 2018, and it made me wonder why I uninstalled it in the first place. There's something about the grand open-world setting, the narrative, and the gameplay that creates such an addictive formula. So, while others may be spending all weekend in a post-apocalyptic version of America, you can find me in cowboy country.
A lot of The Last of Us 2 this week, then, but still some variety. Spare a thought for our very own Stephen Tailby who’s stuck playing SpongeBob Squarepants in this post-Part II world. (He’s actually really enjoying it, apparently!)

The Last of Us: Part II
Gotta agree with Rebecca, I finished RDR2 yesterday and wondered why it took me so long to complete it. Absolutely incredible game.
Started TLOU2 today so one blockbuster to another.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee on PS1 for me.
The game unfortunately bugged out on me a little so I have restart halfway through the Paramonia Temple. I'm enjoying it but I'll be really glad to get to Exodus and have the quicksave feature under my belt as it can get a bit frustrating at times too!
To everyone playing The Last Of Us Part 2 I hope you enjoy your time with it and I hope everyone has a great weekend! 😀
The Last Of Us Part II. When I left it last night I had finally reached Seattle. That's all I'm going to say. It's a stunning game.
I may also dip into Death Stranding as well when I need to just relax and simply deliver a pizza! 😉
Although encounters with BTs can be as intense and any confrontation in Part II (as I will call it from now on).
Happy gaming everyone!
Also, let's hope this place begins to calm down and get back to normal soon. There's been an infestation lately but not sure why.
🤔
@OliverCrossland Red Dead 2 is a legendary game, a true masterpiece.
Part II is definitely in the same league.
Playing final fantasy 7 remaster and of course tlou 2. I'm near the end of ff7r, miss the last barret weapon by not paying 10.000 gil, it's annoying. Also about 2-3 hours playing tlou 2, man the game graphics are amazing, can't wait to play it more after finishing the last part of ff7r
The Witcher 3 for me.
Unfortunately I haven’t received my copy of TLOU 2 yet so consoling myself by carrying on with HZD and dallying in RDR online.
Plus football is back so gaming less this weekend.
The Last of Us Part 2, Streets of Rage... and maybe some more Nioh 2. I need to play Original Sin 2 at some point as well.
Stabbing fools in the neck in The Last Of Us Part 2. Great stuff so far. Also continuing my playthrough of Mass Effect 2 on PS3. Timeless classic.
The Last of Us 2 - stunning so far. Incredible graphics and animation. Who needs PS5 ?? Currently free roaming around Seattle.
Life Is Strange 2 - for a relaxing break from TLOU2. Gonna fully complete this this weekend
Have a good one folks ! ♥️♥️
@Arugula amazing ! That's exactly what I'm doing this weekend
The Last of Us: Part II of course
Last of us part 2 for sure. 3 hrs in and I can’t put it down .
The Last of Us 2 and I've just got to Seatlle, really enjoying this so far and it looks fantastic. I've spent as much time admiring the scenery as much as anything, similar to Red Dead and I've found some interesting posters and objects. If I do play something else I suspect it'll be either Doom Eternal or maybe a bit of Outer Worlds
Playing TLOU Part 2. Almost cried last night while playing a certain scene. Powerfull game.
Yakuza Kiwami 2. I've been playing it for a while, I don't want to just toss it aside for The Last of Us 2 lol. TLoU2 can wait.
I found Divinity: Original sin II to be utterly engrossing @Shepherd_Tallon
The writing was very good all over the board, the strategic combat was very different for me and a breath of fresh air (And some battles can get quite difficult (I was playing on normal/standard difficulty setting) if you try not to abuse the AI), there's a bunch of different ways on how you can complete quests...
It's a lot of fun... It is also quite long.
I spent 135 or so hours on it... And I was tempted to start again and use the three party members I never took with me to see what happens with them
Sleeping dogs definitive edition.little nightmare complete edition.remnant from the ashes.and injustice gods among us ultimate edition.4 amazing games.word up son
I got the plat on Yu-Gi-Oh! Link Evolution a couple days ago and since then I've been enjoying the Force Unleashed 1 on PSnow & just started MediEvil remake last night. So much fun and for $11 on State of Play it was a perfect time to buy one of my old school favorite games
Ill find one more place to complain a bit about the latest patch for Snow Runner, as I was really enjoying the game. Since the last patch it appears to runs at a sub HD resolution on base PS4, so I cant play it until they fix it (they say they are going to). Its so low there was a point I couldn't see the road for the trees. Got Saits Row 4 in the current sale so am replaying the game on PS4, might try finish a couple of bits in Horizon Frozen Wilds.
It can only be The Last of Us 2. And some warhammer reading too.
Sadly working all weekend, played six hours of LOU2 yesterday though. Absolutely unbelievable!
Not sure yet. I think I might be getting either The Last of Us II or Nioh II for father's day, so I'm not starting anything new.
Either that or I'll be sat there in a new pair of socks on Sunday, playing Farming Simulator 2019 while choking back tears
@Gremio108 Fingers crossed it's not Farming Simulator then.
😉
@Gremio108
If you do end up with just socks, be sure to steal a few dead-eye glances at your kids so that they know you're positively livid with the events of the day. 😂
@Col_McCafferty Rolling fields, empty towns, a general air of melancholy... If you squint, I guess Farming Simulator looks a bit like TLoU
@Crimson_Ridley Ha, it would be my own fault! I told my wife not to get me anything expensive. But the hype train has well and truly left the station over the last couple of days...
@playstation1995 Injustice is great fun And Batgirl kicks ass in it, so powerful, amazingly. If you get chance Injustice 2 is even better, one of the best fighting games ever. Word up son 🤣♥️
Are there even more videogames than The Last of Us II? I don't think so...at least until Ghost the other videogames will feel like utter crap to me x)
I'm about 9 or 10 hours in and this game is perfect!
Very likely one of the easiest questions ever. The weekend after TLOU2 is out, you play TLOU2! End of discussion. So that's what I'm gonna do
I've been playing TLoU1. I'm surprised how glitchy it is, to be honest. At one point in the uni level if you turn on the generator before clicking on the door that needs the generator on to be opened, you actually softlock the game. Thank God it didn't autosave or you'd have to restart the whole game.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WtwbXqKStYY
Then odd visual glitches like teleporting Ellie...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mgzyWUrW008
...And entire buildings disappearing. I've also had it raining inside, snowing inside, and every object in the room disappear momentarily.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AyteQJgzTuY
This one was funny, a zombie treadmilling on a car bonnet before freezing totally when shot.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1fFV7r6JIcg
I watched a let's play where an enemy teleported in out of nowhere then, when shot, instantly vanished into thin air. Enemies have heard me stealth killing from a different floor in a building and I've seen normal human enemies constantly running in circles. Really quite disappointed, I hope TLoU2 is better made.
GTA 3 and the conclusion to Doomsday Heist on GTA Online.
The Last of Us Part II & PES 2020. There's been an influx of alien accounts looking to spoil the former so I've been skimming through the comments and only paying attention to a few genuine accounts I know. It's obvious ND and R* take inspiration from each other. TLOUII & RDRII are so similar.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Well that's a solid endorsement! You've convinced me - I'll dabble over the weekend and then give it a proper go once I've finished with The Last of Us P2.
@Matroska You've been put through the ringer with that one! I had a few glitches in the 5 or 6 times I've played through it, but never to that extent! 😂
I actually went back to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider for some odd reason. Just feel like doing a second play through.
Playing TLOU2 then I'll judge the game personally. Like others should.
Almost done with Valiant Hearts, what a great game!!
Yeah no need to ask. I'm about 8 hours into the game and it's incredible. I can't believe it's running on a PS4. Naughty Dog are insanely talented in so many ways.
I’m not getting the last of us 2 until I’m off work in a few more weeks to give it the time it deserves. Been playing a lot of psplus games of late I couldn’t believe how much I liked Detroit become human after going in slightly sceptical. Then the exact opposite with shadow of the colossus which I found incredible slow and boring. Probably going to start the Lego game we got free the other week. Not played one since ps2 days so hoping the years of experience the developer has had makes for a fun game
I'm delivering a case of special beer in Death Stranding. Incredible game, one of my favourite AAA games on the ps4.
Obviously its also the Last of Us 2 for me.
The new new found glory album came out yesterday, so i will be spending time listening to that.
When i am unable to get on PS4, i will also continue chaos;child on Ps Vita. Nearing the end of the common route, and i am absolutely loving it
Just bought Xenoblade Chronicles on Switch this morning so will be playing the hell out of that if it's as good as the sequel.
Also I'm deep into Ni No Kuni 2 (30 hours) which I'm absolutely loving,the kingdom building and side quests to get more townspeople to come to your Kingdom is great and keeps you motivated.Loving it.
Death Stranding is kind of growing on me but it really sucks that I forgot where the bike was so now I have to travel all the way back by foot to find and fix it.
Also playing Far Cry 3 which I got free with something at some point.Played it on the 360 and still enjoying it playing again.
Have a good weekend all.
Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher Edition (Switch) - Been getting back into this recently, so more of this during the weekend.
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (Switch) - Trying to get back into this, maybe I'm just not in the mood for an open world game right now.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Much like Borderlands, I seem to be suffering burnout from open world games.
Monster Burner (Windows Phone) - Nearly there, nearly there.
The Last of Us Part II all the way. One hour in and I’m very intrigued of what will happen next.
Red Dead Redemption 2, Sly 2, and Witcher 3 for me. I'm fairly close to the end of the Blood and Wine expansion in Witcher 3.
Ive made it to that turning point in TLOU2 and lost all interest to push on. I dont want to read spoilers of the ending but I also need something to get me excited again!! 😭
Far Cry 4, frivolous escapism from a world gone mad.
Obviously TLOU2 despite someone spoiling plot points on Twitter.
I’m trying to play the last of us 2 but I’m having problems with falling through the map. Can’t seem to fix the problem.
@TheArt Yeah, it's been really crazy. Definitely an agenda beyond merely being unhappy with how the story develops.
Some envy as well that PS4 gets yet another great exclusive.
@KingPev. Aquaman and flash is amazing also.everyone is amazing in this game.the supermoves are amazing.yes after i beat this one.i will play part 2.word up son
Phoenix Wright for me, originally stopped playing because I was finding the tele-printer sound effect on dialogue irritating, didn't realise how much it was affected my enjoyment of the game till I turned off the sound effects.
The last of us two too!
I'll be continuing my Ultra Hard Playthrough of HZD and maybe a dip into SteamWorld Dig on Vita.
Yakuza Kiwami on PS4.
Also, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 on Nintendo Switch.
Playing the last of us, loving it so far. Annoyingly the snooker has started on ITV4 so watching that at moment but tonight will be last of us for sure.
The Last Of Us 2 & Hollow Knight.
Got TLOU2 Special Edition two days ago and been putting hours into it ever since. A very interesting game, I'll give it that.
Not playing anything, but I’m going to get some of my money back for what I spent.
Hi there fellow gamers. This weekend I´m not gonna be doing much gaming, since I have a lot of work to do, so I´m saving the rest of my playtrough of The Last of Us Part 2 for later, but i might dable a little in Ashen and Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Started playing Elder Scrolls online and am loving it. I'm more of a solo player but it hasn't diminished the game for me at all. In fact I ended up becoming an eso plus member and got PlayStation plus. I read negative reviews at one time so I never got it. But there is so much to do and the quests are meaningful and interesting. Environments are well detailed and nice to look at. RPG elements are great.
Of course will also be playing TLOU.
@Col_McCafferty It's just strange and pathetic, it used be review bombing when a game has too much micro-transactions or something, now it's just cool to be angry for no reason on the internet.
Anyway what's funny this time round is that the art style like RDRII is soooo good I'm actually admiring the runners and clickers instead of being terrified like I was in Part1😆😆.
THERE IS ONLY ONE RIGHT ANSWER THIS WEEKEND PEOPLE!
Just kidding. I hope everyone is enjoying whatever they are playing this weekend. But I can’t wait to spend some serious time with TLOU2.
Big surprise!!! I'm not at work this weekend. So I'm playing sofa-ing, tv series watching and sisha smoking. 😀
1. The last of us 2 (not been able to put it down)
2. Concrete Genie (if I need a change of pace)
TLOU2 is an amazing piece of Digital Entertainment so far 😊
The Last Of Us 2
@Matroska
Can't you go and troll on N4G or something.
To everyone enjoying TLoU2, have a fabulous time, reckon I am around 12 hours in and can barely believe what I am experiencing. Happy gaming folks.
Not everyone is playing TLOU 2 so don't assume that. I doubt I'll ever play it. Couldn't get into the first one.
@Lovespuds How is it trolling to state the facts of what I experienced along with video evidence? I've platinumed the first 3 Uncharted games so I'm clearly a fan of their work, but at times TLoU felt like a Bethesda game with the jankiness - which is certainly not what I expected after UC1-4 were such polished experiences.
I've been in a big JRPG mood since Persona 5 Royal. So continuing on from that, and for my seventh JRPG in a row I'm now replaying Tales of Vesperia.
@seari84 Of course not, you're free to play whatever you want.
@Matroska I saw one or two bugs (which is true of pretty much every single game ever made) but it sounds like your copy was cursed!
@Col_McCafferty Haha, yeah I did really get that feeling. When I was installing the sequel yesterday it kept failing, the progress bar even went backwards at one point, and I thought "okay this is just ridiculous now; me and this series really aren't meant to be together, are we?" Then it turned out I'd just left a big fingerprint on the edge of the disc. 😖
@Matroska Hmm, the plot thickens.
🤔
I'll be playing Persona 5 (original edition) which I'm still in the tutorial palace and some Dark Souls 2 with a friend where we're so over-level from co-oping every boss that we're steamrolling through the game (apart from when we're accidentally killing each other with the ballistas!). I'm not actually interested enough in TLOU 2 to buy it so I'll just watch a let's play of it instead, I'm hoping Eurogamer do a full play though
I tried TLOU2 but somehow went back to Destiny 2. Maybe later in the evening..
I've just spent 10 minutes liking the comments of everyone playing The Last of Us 2. I wish I was playing it too, but I have spent the entire day conducting an exam via remote learning and I'm beat. Still going to muster some strength to play a few hours at night. A masterpiece, even if I fear I might suffer from depression upon completion.
Just over 4 hours in and absolutely hooked on The Last of Us Part 2, a few parts already had me almost welling up. This game is fantastic, I came straight from playing the first one and the improvements in the controls just feels great. Also incredibly gorgeous I'm exploring every inch of each area just to gawk at the scenery.
Have a great weekend everyone!
TLoU 2 and Ys Origin.
Gonna try and finish Blaster Master Zero; then if that’s successful I’m gonna look for the most positive feeling, hopeful and encouraging game I can find in my collection. Basically the antithesis of what is likely emanating from a lot of living rooms, bedrooms and gaming dens this weekend.
@thefirst "As the great philosopher Cersei Lannister once said, ‘I choose violence’"
My favourite online comment, ever!
@Neolit OK I will do!
The witcher 3 dlc for me
@Neolit the second half of the game, im just disconnected from it
PS4 - The Last of Us Part II
Switch - Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
TLOU2 like most. Day 2 right now and loving it so far. I really like how the combat has been refined. I'm playing on the Pro, but I'm still really impressed by how little the console has been screaming with everything that's going on in the game.
@I_Like_It
How are you finding Hardline? I'm thinking of buying the double pack of BF4 and Hardline, but I fear that after Modern Warfare they are going to look antiquated.
@Neolit Yeah I really like it too. It's just like, I dunno, seeing someone you really respect fall over drunk. I've never seen anything like it in multiple playthroughs of 4 Uncharted games so it came as a surprise. I can report that so far the sequel is WAY more solidly made. 👌
@thefirst @Neolit As dishonourable Arthur, I always slap or punch my horse in the face when it throws me off right into a cougar's face.
Goes like: After killing the cougar, I whistle twice, first is a short whistle and the second a long one depending on the name I've given it. As it gallops towards me, I slowly approach it like "c'mere boy it's fine I won't do nothing...slow and steady...slow and steady... BOOM! IN YOUR FACE! Don't ever buck me off like that again boy!" 😂 But you need to quickly swerve that back heel kick though.
@Neolit thanks! It all feels weird to be honest.
@thefirst hey it ain't me, it's DISHONOURABLE Arthur 😆
Naughty Dog on top of their game... 🐕
The last of us 2. Taking my time. Playing in short sessions
@ShaiHulud I need to get back to playing it after the last of us 2
I've been playing Modern Warfare, Smite, and Fire Emblem Three Houses, but I probably won't play as much today or tomorrow. Priorities man.
I gave in and bought TLOU 2 for €60. I normally wait for a discount but I wanted to play it. I just got by the big introduction and I'm controlling a female character whose name I forget 🙂.
It's good, very violent. I'm not into violence but it works good here. It's got that same absorbing gameplay feeling as the first.
Been playing TLOU2, a little over 12 hours in. Much to my surprise too lol it really does suck you in!
Just as surprising is the MGS3 vibes I get during gameplay sections, very cool!!
@tinCAT-zero
Oh you will remember her name. Trust me on that.
Nice to see things are back to normal around here.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for me. Bit grindy but I’m enjoying it.
@Adol_Xin loved that game, played it a few years back, such a great story.
TLOU 2 on the ps4
Borderlands, Burnout, a bit of AC:NH and sprinkle of Astral Chain on Switch
The Order 1886 this weekend, never got round to it before.
I don’t have TLOU2 as I wasn’t into the first game.
We are all different and it sounds like all of you are enjoying your time with it
Codmw, and next ff7 remake.
@TrueAssassin86x Ive been playing it most of the weekend. Loved the first one. Part 2....not so much. "Some" of the lower rated reviews are true. Most are haters. All ill say. Ill stick with it but....thats probably it.
Looking to wrap up the plat for Fire Pro Wrestling World this weekend. Some Hitman 2, Horizon Chase Turbo and have a look in the backlog. Feel like starting something new...
Just finished my first playthough of Trails of Cold Steel III, not sure what to play next, probably either Atelier Ryza or Pillars of Eternity 2
@Arugula sadly due to the haters who haven't even played the game, they will avoid giving it to the game to avoid controversy. I hate how they ruin things for everyone
