Hey everyone, just thought I’d let people know about [email protected] and to go post over there, as it’s the far more active community. I’m sure most have heard of it already, but just in case you haven’t, I’m letting people know

I’d never played TLOU before, but was recently looking for something new to play and heard great things about it. My parents watched the show and loved it, so I decided to give it a shot. It took me a little bit to get into, but once I did I got hooked hard. I beat the game and then went on to watch the show with my wife, she loved it and now wants to watch me play Part II. Unfortunately that means I can only play it when she’s around, and given we both work shift work, means it might take me a long time to beat Part II, but it’s incredible so far. I’m not too far into it yet though so no spoilers for Part II please.

What does this community think of this game? I know it was very well received, I’m just curious how patientgamers feel towards it. Also, how did people like the show? I thought it was great but I’ve heard some people found it boring. I prefer the game but was very impressed with the show as well. I’m looking forward to season 2

Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!

It might be a hot take, I’m not sure, but I just loved this DLC. I usually like to wait before buying a game or expansion and see reviews and get it on sale, but I actually pre-ordered SotE, booked four days off work, and played the hell out of it. I still am thinking about that world all the time. The level design and verticality blew me away, the environments are gorgeous, and the atmosphere is FromSoft perfected. I specifically remember when I first entered the Ancient Ruins of Rauh and having to stop for a minute because it was just so beautiful. If you enjoyed the base game but skipped the DLC because you heard the complaints about the difficulty, just get it, it’s absolutely worth it.

I saw this question asked in another gaming community and thought it might be a good discussion here too.

My personal stats:

My games with over 1k hours (approximately):

Skyrim - 5,300

HITMAN - 1,350

Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200

Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring

I’d love to see what this community plays the most.

PS: to all who celebrate, merry Christmas, and I hope it was a lovely day.
