Played for an hour over 2 days. May be giving me a headache.

Entering the first skyscraper that's leaning always messes with my head.

Replaying this.
Actually realise how incredible and underrated this game is.
Interested to know if there’s like a topographical map/view of Boston as you go through? Feel like it’s not exactly Boston. Very loosely based.
Game is hard v the Clickers and Bloaters

Factions 2 or whatever it's going to be called has obviously grown massively in scope that it needs to be its own thing rather than be tacked on to another game. Very excited to see what exactly it is, especially now they've said it's got a story.

Now on ice and rumored to be cancelled completely

Apparently they had Bungie look at it and they thought it wasn't 'sticky' enough to work as an ongoing live service game, which is clearly where they wanted to take it. Which kinda makes sense, I mean what content are you going to sell to people - additional bandanas and hats? The tone isn't exactly Fortnite is it.

Still, a pretty large bed shitting from Sony if this is accurate and more than a little greedy imo. Just release the bloody thing as a multiplayer game and accept that a critical mass of people will play it for 6 months or so but it won't be the long-running live service offering they wanted, they'll still sell millions. Hopefully it eventually gets stitched to TLOU part 3 (or the inevitable part 2 PS5 port), loved the factions MP that came with part 1.
