RevengeOfTheSeth

I know it is not one of the selling points of the game but I was still disappointed in the lack of life and things to do in Jackson. Given Naughty Dog's wide-linear formula and how well the At Sea chapter was done in Uncharted 4, I expected something better. The Aquarium is more interactive with Abby than Jackson is with Ellie.

Some of Naughty Dog's creative decisions over the years have been strange. Adding Nathan Drake a brother in Uncharted 4 even though it is revealed in Uncharted 3 he is an only child. Picking the boring Nadine over Charlie Cutter (whole stole every Uncharted 3 scene he was in), to be Chloe's partner in the Lost Legacy. And now Ellie not being able to see Part 2 through by herself. Ellie is a strong enough character to see through a 20-25 hour campaign. Also ND excluding the multiplayer because it's become too big when you already know your single player is going to be this divisive doesn't sound like a good idea.

I'll play through Ellie's chapters again. The Finding Strings chapter was brilliantly done. And Seattle looks gorgeous in the game. But this just feels like a wasted opportunity. I didn't expect to love the game as much as the original PS3 title, but I expected better handling.

Resetting the three days when Ellie comes face to face with Joel’s killer was pointless. The pace suffers greatly. Walking (slowly, many times) as a character you don’t want to play as because the writers want to give her some depth that doesn’t go very deep beyond being generic. Here are two characters to care for to show how great Abby is as a person. Abby's campaign feels like DLC.

Manny spits on Joel's lifeless body, but don't worry you'll fall in love with him as a generic soldier later on when you challenge him to a shooting gallery contest. Henry and Sam had better characterisations than Abby or her colleagues and they weren't in The Last of Us for very long which makes remembering the pair all the more powerful. Isaac looked menacing in the story trailer and I was interested to see how Ellie would cross his path, but of course he is completely useless in the game. The sex scene was ridiculous.

I feel as though we were spoilt in the first game. The writing, the character development, the pacing. But I didn't expect things to be planned this badly. The only thing that improved in Part 2 is the stealth gameplay. The creative decisions were poor. I didn't mind Joel being killed early in the game, but I would of thought having Ellie being so motivated and with much desire for vengeance, we would see out the rest of the game as her. The length of Abby's campaign was crazy. It's like Neil fell in love with the character and wouldn't stop until you felt the same. He wanted to surprise people and stay clear of predictable fan service but surely there were so many better ways to produce a Part 2. We got as many flashbacks as Ellie & Joel as we did with Abby after her father died. So much in the script sounds forced. Heroism as Abby tells Lev ''your my people', generic love story with Owen "I don't want to talk about last night", back to hero worship "Mel's wrong, your a good person".

Then the Uncharted-like run through the decaying Seraphite village just completely feels out of sync with Ellie’s story and the overall pacing. It’s like Resident Evil 5 or 6. I didn’t mind the WLF versus the Seraphites storyline, but it would of made sense to experience it as Ellie, not a WLF deserter who many just can't accept.

There probably will be another one. They just won't bother releasing it in the west. Anyway I don't care about sales. Gravity Rush 2 already got made and released. It should be celebrated. The world is massive and beautifully designed. The soundtrack is fantastic. The Animation released on Boxing day showed there is a future outside of video games for Kat.

I prefer Co-op adventure to a Co-op Arena mode. I'm more interested in the Prison and Train Wreck maps shown briefly in the trailer.

I would like to see Chloe Frazer and Charlie Cutter show up

Until Dawn would benefit from a steady framerate. It is already one of the greatest games this generation. Unfortunately a lot of developers have already moved onto new things. If Supermassive Games don't patch it for the pro, they might already be working on a sequel.

The above average reviews didn't help. Most of the reviewers that scored the game had already played the Vita original. I'm not sure why they didn't get someone who hadn't played the Vita game. The combat criticised in many of the reviews was something I enjoyed. I am new to this game and this is one of the best game experiences I have had. Great main character, great humour, fantastic gravity powers, beautiful City to explore. I am vey impressed playing this game. But I am disappointed at the sales. This remastered game deserves to be experienced by millions not thousands.

Still can't pre-order the game on Amazon.co.uk. Don't you forget about me. I'll be...

@stevie85 Kicks off on October 28th. Finishes on November 1st.

We still need our Syphon Filter fix. It's been far too long for a series that has always excelled at gameplay.

Looks good. But the only games I care about in February 2016 are Gravity Rush Remastered and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Loved the noodles spot. Interesting to see future environmental spots in the various stages.
