I think I just preferred the storyline of the first game. Great character development and it's fun watching the world they knew crumble before their eyes.
I also think the visual quality of the game was nothing that had been experienced on a PS3 before. It still look good now if you can see past the framerate.
Is longer, and darker in theme. Both great games prefer TLOU.
What makes you prefer the first one?
I find the relationship between Ellie and Joel one of the strengths of the first game. This balances the desolate nature of the story. Like there is some hope in the world they inhabit.
The second game does not have this, and with the darker themes I find it less uplifting, quite sad TBH.
Graphically the second game is streets ahead. Gameplay is also improved.

I've played maybe the first 3 hours of part 2 and it hasn't grabbed me yet so will probably go back to it over half term when I can play a few long sessions and hopefully get into it properly. Just got Miles Morales delivered today, £25 still sealed from eBay, nearly spent £49 on the PS store the week after Xmas when they had a sale on, glad I'm stingy old git who refuses to pay more than £25 a game as I'd pissed off right now if I'd spent double!!

replay 1 and then jump into 2.
Only played 1 about a year ago!!!!
I know I'll enjoy it once I play some longer sessions, the odd hour every 3/4 nights, for me, doesn't help the narrative heavy games.
The odd mission in Hitman and some web swinging through New York will keep me occupied till half term and I'll have a proper go at TLOU 2 then.
Anyone getting the new Horizon on PS5? Apparently if you get the PS4 version you can upgrade for free saving £20 ish. Not sure if true, conflicting info online
I just completed Dying Light and enjoyed it so much I took on the DLC.
After finishing a few story based games over the last 6 months I decided to take bit of a break and spend a bit of time on F1 2021 and FIFA. But now, I’ve just started on Watch Dogs: Legion, which is set in London.

I'll be ordering it when I get back from my holiday. Still haven't started Dying Light 2, been too caught up playing Demon Souls

Definitely true. Believe there is a £10 price difference on the store rather than £20, though.

I've already pre ordered it sadly. Could have saved a score. Really excited for it, the early access reviews I've seen have sounded great.
Elden Ring the following week, too. Although I'll probably wait a bit for that. The next gen consoles should really start to excel this year.

You can get refunds on the store for pre orders, I’m pretty sure.

Thought it was £69.99 standard, can get the PS4 on Amazon for £50
Finished Miles Morales in 2 nights at the weekend, really good but very short, glad i didn't pay full price for a 10 hour game, felt to me like they took whatever didn't make it in to the og Spiderman, did all the Miles cut scenes etc and boom game done, still a really great game tho, currently playing Batman Arkham Knight on Series X.
Anyone played the Bioshock series? Trilogy currently £8 on Microsoft store and never played them and they look pretty good.

Miles Morales was a real pisstake for the cost, glorified DLC
I'd like a new one but I'm still using my Xbox One but don't feel like I'm really missing out that much.
If you hook up the new Xbox or PS5 to a TV capable of 120FPS, going back to the old-gen is difficult, especially when some of the games still run at 30FPS.

My stupid ass will still sink 30+ hours a week into FIFA though
I'd play it safe and just get the PS5 version personally

£250 and a vastly improved experience. Capable of 4k 60fps or 1440p 120fps.
