Permadeath will be doable on any difficulty with a back up so that's not a concern. You ll have only one back up file If it will be allowed to save game only on cloud. This file can be corrupted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra-jane09 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Absolutely no sodding way am I doing this, I am not reinstalling 99GB back onto my PS4 system for this. I enjoyed Grounded on the first game and recently did the MP to get the platinum but I don't want to endure the Rat King on Grounded thank you very much.

MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 just back up your save? perma is hardly an issue unless it severely limits your saves or stops it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowzagabowza Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 That's a nope from me. I'll keep my 90-something percentage and sanity. The game is fine but way too long with too much down time. Im never playing it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Easy will be the best bet for Permadeath, though there will be SOME tough spots due to instakills. 100% sure they're gonna disable all combat accessibilities on Grounded. On the other hand, what if people with health conditions also want to get those trophies? Guess, they also should have such an opportunity, right? However, we'll find out everything soon.

Popular Post Golden Devil Gamer Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2020 Sigh, now I gotta delete a crap ton of games to get this 77 GB game reinstalled. Can't say I'm excited about the new trophies though. Story-driven games like TLOU don't really have the best replay value. And the game's poor pacing and bloated length made it a drag to play through the first time around. Can't wait for another playthrough or two of collecting materials and walking point A to B for 70% of the time, wooo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are so butthurt that the game finally has "hard" trophies, don't go for them. Also, you will more than likely be able to backup saves and revert to an old one in case you die, requiring only one additional playthrough. Skip the cutscenes and follow some speedrun strats and you are done fairly quickly. still allowed to shit on it 1 minute ago, ImAPirateSoSueMe said: If they don't go the Wolfenstein 2 route and make it to where you have to do it in a single sitting. lol yeah this def sucks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojbrown40 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Wait!?!?! I can't go around killing premeditated murder Abby anymore? That was the only enjoyable part of this game and now I have to keep her safe and alive? What a bunch of BS. It's almost like this is punishment to the 80% of people who hated this game for not liking their story or Abby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IesuHado Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2020 1 hour ago, Sinthoras_96 said: I'm seriously considering to not buy any Sony games anymore. Literally every first party ps4 title from the last 4 years has a piss easy plat, so that every nohand without skill can earn it. And all the challenging trophies are "gifted" to us as "free DLC". So the true trophy hunters and completionists are forced to waste another 2 playthroughs for 2 bronze / silver trophies. Why can't this stuff be part of the platinum? The time you need to waste with these playthroughs wouldn't feel that wasted at all, if the platinum was the ultimate reward at the end of it. Moving difficulty trophies from the main list into dlcs is just absolutely embarrassing. Imagine if Max Payne 3 had all it's difficulty playthroughs added as DLC and the platinum was a 50% common trophy instead of a 0.7 ultra rare. Stuff like this completely kills the purpose of trophy hunting. Oh boy do I miss the times when the challenging part of the platinum was the actual difficulty and not to sit down on your ass to watch a 10 hours video guide for the 3 Million collectibles in the game. Oh and the most ridiculous thing is that they don't even have the balls to truly provide a challenge. You can play the bloody permadeath on very easy looool What is even the point of doing that? Who would play permadeath on very easy, if there wasn't a trophy that forces you to do it? "Oh I aM sO hArDcOrE I hAvE bEaTeN tHe GaMe oN pErMaDeAtH - oN vErY eAsY" loool The only point of this is to have people spending another 20 hours on your game for a bloody bronze trophy. They could at least have made these trophies golden. I can't belive how much trophies have hurt our community to the point where amazing games can be not played just be cause "trophies".... The fun fact is that trophies should be a challenge and a proof of you liking the game and taking it to the point if doit what it takes for 100% that was the point not make easy trophies so you can show people how many xxx platiniums you have. This is not a Dlc, more a expansion of the game like the first one with grounded mode. And I did enjoy this things cause they give more life to the game after all that is what you are suppose to buy it, not for trophies.... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty much exactly what I am saying. Sony first party games platinums are absolutely no challenge anymore. You can do everything on easy and its all about watching collectible guides, which is boring af. They are appealing to trophy collectors and not trophy hunters. Hunting means putting in effort to be rewarded. And then they throw these trophies at us. I don't have a problem with these trophy requirements. It's just pissing me off that everyone and their grandma can achieve the plat without doing the actual challenging stuff. And the people who want 100% need to put in triple the time for a bronze and silver trophy that probably won't even be ultra rare. It's just completely retarded. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachXHime Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Good for the people that love the game. It's not that bad if you don't rush it. Maybe replay the game once a few months, or even a year. I still revisit Zelda and Dark Souls series and create challenges for myself to keep it interesting.

Well you win there, now I see your point buddy yeah in that way you are right I agree with you there. I just disagree with you cause I see you play lots of games and can't belive you consider to not play some amazing exclusives just for trophies you know jaja and it's not my problem but common as a player I like other gamers try good things too But yeah they should really add it at launch, the other thing you can do is just wait 1 month until they add it and them go straight foward I think.

PhantomFear94 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I loved TLOU2 but this might be what I needed to get myself over my 100% OCD. Unless you can use USB save backups, there is no way I'm doing permadeath. I'd have been fine if it was just Grounded...you can somewhat brute force your way through sheer difficulty and the challenge would be fun. I hate the whole permadeath concept in general for game where it isn't a core mechanic, and for games that are full AAA length. Compared to the fun challenge and engagement of Grounded, Permadeath (implied to be on any difficult) will be easy and unchallenging throughout, but one timed event mess-up or Abby Seattle Day 3 instant death and you'll have to start all over again. It feels cheap, idk. Maybe people will disagree. Will be interesting to see: (i) if you can 'save scum' with USB saves, and (ii) what they mean by 'any permadeath setting'. Weird wording. Perhaps there are different permadeath conditions rather than just 'you die, your save is wiped'. Will find out shortly I guess.

BumpkinPumpkin Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 This is why I will now wait for about 2 months with Sony exclusives that I don’t feel the need to have day one. They will always add another difficulty/playthru trophy and most of their games I’m fine with just one play-thru. Don’t want to feel forced to play again for one or two trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) permadeath is probably just the same as any of the other custom difficulty options. toggle it on or off under any circumstances, save like normal and back up like normal it's not exactly a gae where you can do a 5 hr speedrun. it's long and overly self indulgent. I imagine grounded mode just sets all modifiers to the absolute hardest and won't let you adjust. either way I doubt it'll be that hard. but obv I could be wrong. but i doubt they would limit saves too much on a game with this much bloat. if at all. the only downside to this incoming trend of make platinums easy to hook more sales and follow up with hard dlc, is that you're expected to literally relearn the full game again for what 1 or two trophies? whereas the full game consistantly rewarded you with a steady stream, adding just 2 is friggin lazy if devs want people to spend another 40 hr on a game then we want more unlocks and more things to chase. it's possible to make a hard and fun game without cheapening the shit out of it like evil within 2 or wolfenstein 2 esp looking at you.

They are accessible to every game owner after all. I couldn't agree more free dlc should represent the amount of people who own the game not some formula. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on the wording, but I'd be really surprised if you can't use USB backups for this. It's a long enough game that even with skipping all cutscenes, it's not realistic to play in one sitting. Games like Outlast 1/2 and Wolfenstein II can be reasonably beaten in a couple hours, I just don't see a way that an average player could beat TLOU2 in less than 8 hours. Unless they plan on implementing some sort of forced cloud save that would only be used for a permadeath run, it's probably a safe bet that you'll be able to save and backup your file! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhyrxianLibrarin Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I haven't even finished the game yet, but Grounded mode seems like it will be way worse in this game than in the first one. Some of these encounters are easily 20+ minutes, and having to restart the entire thing thanks to a stray bullet at the end sounds like a huge nightmare. The fact that stealth is way less effective doesn't help either. I assumed when they said "no DLC" they meant "no additional campaigns like Left Behind", but frankly I'd much prefer that to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
