Pretty sure the ps3 struggles to maintain 30fps throughout this game. BUT, its still a great experience, Im currently playing through again on a 77” OLED sitting like 6ft away and cant believe what Naughty Dog was able to pull out of the PS3’s goofy architecture (Not to mention the Uncharted games as well). The OLED’s color depth is breathing new life into a slow game with lots to look at.
Dull? Hmm, its definitely a game with lots of different pacing. But I like it, sometimes ur slowly finding a way out, searching every nook and cranny of an old building for supplies, traversing beautiful terrain, stealthily killing faction members, stealthily slipping by clickers or running for your life. Its fun and feels like your playing through a book or movie with its story telling.
I never beat the game and I'm an uncharted uberfan, I tried to play tlou a few times but something about it was always off to me, then when the tv show was made it hit me, tlou really wanted to be a movie, imo for the bit I played it looked great but was boring, its a game that gets so much praise for its story but no one ever talks about the gameplay...cause it was meh.
one of the things that really stood out to me was although the world looked so real and things seemed so gritty, ellie was a busted character, not story or personality wise, gameplay wise. I remember a point where you have to sneak through a place, joel has to be dead quiet or one of them clicky dudes will get him. but that didnt apply to ellie, she was just talking and walking around, making noises and stuff, I was like wtf is this?!
if I want to play a zombie game in a rough broken world I'll play days gone(which is underrated), which also happens to run like butter on pc, but I will give it to naughty dog for how they know how to create beautiful worlds, seems strange they didnt handle this port though considering how much sony trots this ip out get some cash. but maybe thats the point, they knew it would make bank even if it was broken on release, what are gamers gonna do, not buy it? its the what, like 4th release so far? of course gamers will buy it. and get even more broken ports in the future.
