I will say I think the sequel was justified in how much more they added gameplay wise, taking advantage of advancements in processing power. It really opens up the world, the things you can do and see are incredible and are a huge jump from the first game.
2 also manages to improve on the gameplay in big ways, hardly a moment that isn’t engaging and interesting and I never felt limited, and some very cool and atmospheric settings.
Also, grown Ellie is one of my favorite characters ever, so much well executed, human, relatable nuance, and that’s a take that has nothing to do with her sexuality.
First two thirds did feel like your basic above average big budget horror movie, but then my god the emotional punch of the last third was all time. Really well executed last third set up by the first two thirds.
They literally know how this always ends - with a generation of kids with a lot of justified hatred and nothing to lose - yet they continue to fuel the fire. Crazy, nothing like ensuring the cycle of violence continues forever.
Same exact thought! They say they may be religious, but I need to know more!! Guess that lore may be lost with the end of this tribe.
Seems to me they’re using the sanctity of indigenous people as a way to protect the rain forest. Wish it being a very important natural part of our planet was enough to protect it, no appeal to human to human empathy needed.
What a coward, no surprises there
Seriously
Well if you’re going to do stupid stuff like sail during a hurricane, glad he at least came prepared with a doggy life vest. Feel like most idiots sailing during a hurricane would not have that foresight.
Crap, maybe I paid to remove ads at one point.
Alto - very calming and engaging game where you go down a mountain on your snowboard trying to catch llamas and do aerial tricks. Excellent vibes, no bothersome ads or micro transactions i think.
I want to say at least good Photoshop

Definitely true, but you never hear conservatives complaining about all the paid leave they get or the healthcare benefits they enjoy.
If some conservative president really wanted to walk the talk, they’d axe all those benefits for everyone.
Some departments in the US government give you a paid time off day every week to use however you want. A lot of people would take every Friday off, or some would stash them for a longer vacation.
It’s wild to me how internally the government offers the kind of benefits politicians should’ve pushed into law a long time ago. It really is “for Me, not for Thee”.

Agreed on both points, High and Low was the highlight for me over more spectacle focused films. Amazingly thought out movie with some very powerful character driven scenes.
