ARH65512 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I apologize if it's against forum rules, but with the hype around RDR 2 and now it's released, we're still waiting for the sequel to The Last of Us. Now, as you probably guess, The Last of Us is my favorite game (hence the avatar) and it seems to be trophy hunters' favorites as well. However, I also love both RDRs and that's also in my top 10. So in a way, yes, I do think it'll be slightly better, but not much. Any other thoughts? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Joker88 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I played TLOU several times through because i love the zombi like world and the main characters and the dialogues between them. I even played the mp partially without boosting since it not about winning and grinding can be skipped a bit. RDR on the other hand didn't feel that way to me. I hardly played the sp and boosted every mp trophy but i don't think i'll return to it soon. I even played RDR2 for an afternoon but it didn't grab either. So for me decision is easy: TLOU2 has already made a good impression thx to the info shared so far and seems close enough to the first game to become my GOTY of the PS4 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FilmFanatic Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2018 My only thought is how are Red Dead Redemption and The Last Of Us even comparable to each other? They are nothing alike. Comparing RDR and RDR2 to each other or TLoU to TLoU2 is fine but there’s no point comparing them against one another. RDR is my all time favourite game. RDR2 is a good but certainly not great game and doesn’t hold a candle to the first one. The Last Of Us is in my top 10 favourite games and gets my vote for greatest game ever made however I’m apprehensive about the sequel because as good as Naughty Dog are I don’t think they will be able to make TLoU2 better than the first game. As an example Uncharted 4 was an amazing game and a great send off for the series but it still wasn’t quite as good as Uncharted 2. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodytears1666 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Will any Survival Horror game would be better than Wild West life simulator? Definitely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolltideroll157 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They aren't comparable they are two completely different genres and games. They both are phenomenal no need to try and force dumb comparisons. This is a pointless thread... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LucianaRosethorn Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2018 There's no way to say which game is better since it's all down to the person playing it. I think Red Dead Redemption is terrible and The Last of Us has an unoriginal story but I love Dragon Quest XI and personally think it's better then both of them in a lot of ways, it just comes down to preference. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoef_NL Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This is like comparing Frites with Pizza, but you never ate pizza, only saw it on tv. It's a personal matter.

Dark Layla Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I must be the one who never got hyped for RDR2 but I will certainly have that feeling with TLOU2 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserVendrix Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This question is like people comparing Spider-Man to God of War! Wait that’s already happened... It comes down to personal opinion at the end of the day but comparing a series like Last of Us to Red Dead is a little silly. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauersack Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) From what I have heard most people who are not Rockstar fanboys agree that RDR2 is impressive, but also that it has it's fair share of problems with the world, the balance and the story so many would not even consider it to be game of the year this year. The first TLOU is one of the all time great games, no one can really deny that even if the game is not to his liking, I am not sure RDR2 will reach the same status. With TLOU2 it is a different story though. The game has the potential to be widely regarded as the single best game ever made if it delivers on the hype, but it could just as easily disappoint people. I was hyped to the max until I saw the first footage of gameplay and story, and now I am wary and abandoned my plan to preorder it. I want this game to be as great as it can be, but I am in this industry long enough so the warning signs that this game is going to have problems are clear for me to see.

Crispy_Oglop Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I don't even know if you can actually compare them to work out which is the best (bar their production values) to be honest. I think they will offer very different gameplay experiences and stories, but share the same cinematic quality. It would be like comparing Spider-Man to Horizon:Zero Dawn. I guess the only way you could apply a 'which one is better?' modifier is based on personal preference around the story theme and setting etc. Personally I think both will be different enough and have potential to be equally good so i'm holding my judgement off until i've finished TLOU 2. I will say though, TLOU 2 is gonna have to pull out all the stops for me to generate the same level of emotional investment I had in the RDR2 characters by the time the story is up.

fbdbh Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Well, I don't really like The Last of Us, but I came close to absolutely hating RDR2, so it might just be. But how on earth do you compare two separate genres? This thread makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundr0wn_ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Probably, RDR2 has despite it's grand scale and attentio to detail, many glaring missteps regarding gameplay. It's good, it's really good but it's not that good. Unless ND makes the same mistakes with TLU2 but those should be easy to avoid as long as you're not to full of your own artistery.

Kittens Are Awesome Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I disagree with those saying that you cannot compare the two. How, you ask? Glad you asked. If part 2 is anything like part 1, The Snore of Us 2 may be the cause of yet another outbreak of spontaneous comas. The Bore of Us isn't original. The Snooze of Us doesn't have the feels. Hell, I cried at the end of Brothers, Journey, and Valiant Hearts. At the end of The Coma of Us, all I said was, "fucking dumb bitch. I'll never get that time of my life back." This will probably be the one game I never finish. I wish I had double jointed knees and hips so I could kick myself in the balls for even putting that unoriginal POS on my profile. So, in conclusion, I'd rather play roshambo. I'd rather stare at moss growing on a rock. I'd rather do anything than play another The Dull of Us game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I never played The Last of Us. I didn't much care for Red Dead Redemption, and won't bother with RDR2. So, flipping a coin with TLOU2 heads and RDR2 tails, I say... ... ...RDR2 will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually having more fun with Far Cry 5 and had more fun with Yakuza. Then again it's each to his own. Gamers will disagree with my post just like I would disagree with someone else. Yest I enjoyed LOU and RDR but not going to ride that HYPE TRAIN again. Will buy it once I've seen a few non spoiler videos online.

djb5f Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Silly argument that you can't compare games of different genres. Of course you can. Video Game of the Year, Best Picture of the Year, etc. always compare regardless of genre. I think TLOU2 will edge RDR2. But hard to say since it isn't released!

linkdevivo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Well it depends on what you want to compare? Presentation? Performance? Story? Characters? Gameplay? Trophies? Overall fun? A game is a sum of many moving parts, just comparing 2 games overall (one of which hasn't even come out yet) is a bit of a difficult task, OP. Having said that, I personally am so much more excited for TLOU II. Hope we get a game award announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
