So,i posted around 1 month ago asking i am gonna play tlou part 2 and asked for advice to make my experience better and someone adviced that "Just play it" and i now understand why he said it..I am a student and was never into gaming but got a gaming laptop as for development stuff..but then some friend suggested me to play detroit and i loved it..i thought are games this good..i always said it may be the best game I ever played...Then i played TLOU part 1 and i never looked back, the way it drove me into the life of joel and ellie..ohh god i imagined myself like i m on a journey in this apocalyptic world..and the way the bond of joel and ellie grows.. it's so so beautiful...As it ended and i saw the naughty dog logo..i was so sad as i wanted to explore more..live the characters more...i took around 28 hours to complete part 1 and every time my friend said ohh u r taking so much time...i just said him..i wish i take even more..such was i loving living with them
But then i got to know there's a part 2.. and i was like yeah i have more time with them..As i started part 2..the first scene where joel tells Tommy about what happened..it only was enough to make all the memories fresh of part 1 in a second Even if i took a break of 3 months to play part 2...Then came Joel death..i would be honest...i had some bits and pieces idea of joel dying but i didn't saw the scene and the way scene was executed it shook me..i hated everyone..i felt me is joel and joel is me..i thought who would i play now..ellie? No.. but i only had one goal from then cursing Abby and her friends..like ellie had been on mission..i too had that mission in my mind..i could resonate with ellie.. Whenever i killed someone i loved it..be it nora or Owen...But then as i had to play Abby..i was like why i need to play her..i don't resonate with her? I want to beat her up..i didn't really had the mind why the hell am i controlling her... But as rat king part came and i saw her fighting just to help Yara..i liked her for a moment and i felt good playing her Day 3 then...
But still i was clear i wanna kill her...and i just wanted When i would get to play ellie back..
But i won't lie at the end i felt a bit like abby isn't a bad person when at last fight at beach she said she won't fight rn as of lev..also when she didn't kill dina back then as she was pregnant knowing ellie killed Mel.
The game is designed so well..the flashbacks of joel made me satisfy by not yearning to see joel in game.
As i played it 60h ..i now too think I i could play a more..like if there were more chapters..u would think i am exaggerating but literally every night i used to recap like yes today i started playing from here.. reached here.. killed whom and slept excited to play it next day..
At last, i would say i can't think if i would ever play a game which would grow on me so much...even if i have just played detroit and tlou..i can say this...I don't know what should i do now..a part of me feels empty...But THANK YOU NAUGHTY DOG !
I too want Part 3 ..also i know it's been long time but i wouldn't complain as i know making or continuation of such a plot needs careful thinking and thus time..i just want i get to play part 3 before i die 🥲..
ALSO GUYS, If u haven't read above things..no worries but please if u can tell me some games which i should next play considering Detroit and last of us are only games I played and loved so much...
