johnny Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I’m about 20 hours in I’m at the part where (happens at least a couple hours after dodger’s spoiler) Spoiler I got through that big ass apartment building with Lev. I love having the flamethrower and incendiary shells for my shotty. That ammo destroys shamblers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just got to the part where Spoiler She plays take on me. Really wasn’t expecting that much of the song to be played. It was beautiful Such a beautiful and tender moment made all the more so by knowing the brutality that is inevitably coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The storylines, characters and levels cut from ‘The Last of Us Part II’ (The Washington Post) Quote Video games, especially blockbusters in the Triple-A space, go through numerous revisions and changes before the final product is shipped. For Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us Part II,” to make its storytelling as effective as possible, scenes were constantly moved around, re-contextualized or removed. These include cutscenes, playable sections and characters — some of which were carefully considered and ultimately deleted. Naturally, there are spoilers in the article.

Spork3245 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Spoilers for after the 50% mark Spoiler Ok. Abby’s stealth kill is slow, right? And it cannot be upgraded like Ellie’s to make it faster... but, two times, and I cannot figure out how to replicate it, instead of doing that slow choke she did a super fast kill with a full-on 80’s action movie style head snap. Is this random or is there a way to “force” it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 There’s one scene in particular it would have been SUPER helpful in, maybe two. I think the game could have made the stealth more interesting if there were more times when you could end up surrounded; in most arenas it’s pretty easy to put everyone in the 180 degrees in front of you.

Is this random or is there a way to “force” it? In general, the melee and hand-to-hand combat is very context sensitive. So if you position yourself and the enemy near walls and appliances as opposed to open spaces, the character will go into a strike-style melee attack mode animation as you hit away and just smash the enemies' heads into the walls and such, killing them much faster. That's what I've noticed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never found the move particularly helpful in the first one because it opens you up a lot to turn your back on enemies. Running backwards isn't terribly slow if I recall that correctly right now so it's usually better to be ready to shoot/melee than turn your back and run away fully in my experience. I tried it several times and got lit up. The AI seemed to be aware of whether I was facing them or running away...I think? At least it seemed that way. Again, talking about the first one.

Spoiler You can find a way to craft shivs a la the first game, which helps take down enemies quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know I'm implying that may be contextual as well. Spoiler I know what you mean by the quick head snap. I've done it randomly a few times too, hence my explanation about context sensitivity. The only quicker stealth kill animation I'm aware of is using a shiv for the stealth kill over the chokehold as @Kal-El814 explained but I know you are talking about the head/neck snap, which is different.

Pressing square. Oh yeah, sorry I wasn’t clear. Spoiler Abby can’t upgrade her choke to be quicker the way Ellie can knife enemies more quickly via supplements. She can craft shivs to make takedowns easier. Completely separate from that, yes, sometimes being close to a wall / surface seems to allow melee to “go quicker.” Lousy quoting by me.

I wasn’t standing by anything or did anything different, the only thing I could think of is maybe I double tapped square. It doesn’t seem something that would be environmentally affected.
