☝🏿 I've only played a couple of encounters so far but this pales in comparison to Returnal: Ascension and GOW: Valhalla. At least, in terms of narrative through line, which I feel would greatly benefit No Return. Returnal's DLC has the first person story sequences, many scout logs, new dialogue from Selene, 20 xenoglyphs and multiple xeno-archives. Valhalla has all new dialogue from Kratos and Minor, new cutscenes, new dialogue and interactions with the Valkyries, etc. It's not the case with No Return.

You mention what could have been, and I agree. You know what else could've been, why not have different storylines for each character? Jesse in shows up on the base game outta nowhere to help Ellie. Why not have his run fighting from Jackson to reach Ellie? The same thing with Tommy. How about playing as Joel with Tommy doing runs and having to check in at safe houses? How bout having a cut scene with Maria giving your character orders to go a a run to retrieve some specific supplies that Jackson needs that someone else scouted and now you need to get it?

They could've had you play as Joel with Tess going on smuggle runs in Boston. You have to complete a job for Robert. They have the assets from Last of Us Part 1. And why can't we travel from location to location? You chart your course from the safe house which is good. But why are you returned back to the safe house? Why don't you have control? We should be able to travel with Shimmer, the horse to the next location to keep the rhythm of the game flowing instead of this endless affluvium of loading screens.
i get they need to do something to justify trying to resell a third game on ps5 as a remaster as this one does not have much of a touch up graphic wise .

an No Return is a cheap way to do that

Joel shares his animations with Abby

Ellie Animations are the same for both lev and dina

an while some story play would be great .. naughty dog as a company feels like it in shambles..

it not a lot of effort to import last of us part 1 assets or have simple online play.

honestly of the last of us 2 came out ten years ago they would had the same path way as MGS 2 where it was hated and then loved later on and the sequel being a prequel more intune to the first game. :yeshrug:


The discourse got politized and become about toxic masculinity and hating women and a lot shyt that didnt need to be mixed in.

Fukkin with this no return I wonder if you're gonna have to play more stealthy the harder it gets 🤔 especially with the infected...first you only start taking out 4 people per wave...i guess you could play stealthy against human enemies or go guns blazing idk...but I could see there's a strategy to this

:dead: I’m playing through the remaster and I got so pissed last night at the part where lev and the sister leave you in that room. fukking clickers and shamblers I swear I don’t remember struggling during my original play through.
That was the only part I remember struggling through, and I remember that shyt vividly :mjlol:

my life would have fukking mattered :damn:

if somehow lord gave me a second chance at that moment… I would do it all over again:ufdup:
This scene would’ve worked so much better as the actual final moments of the game instead of a flashback where Ellie loses everyone and learns no lesson :martin:
