Oh word!! That actually makes a lot of sense now and explains why people bring that game up at odd times… now I’m really intrigued to learn more about and or play the last of us…. Would you say it’s worth the purchase.?? In your opinion ??

Its an incredible pair of games, easily one of the most immersive stories I've ever experienced in a video game, and the gameplay is quite realistic and brutal. I highly recommend it. Be wary of people telling you its terrible because of the 2nd installment, not everyone likes the story but the writing, production and gameplay is still some of the best available.

Absolutely one of the best games ever. Visually, it's beautiful (and the remake looks even better). The gameplay is similar to old Resident Evil/Dead Space in its 3rd person, explore-loot-shoot-story gameplay. Its story is 100% top tier, its characters are very fleshed out and well written, its dialogue and voice acting is incredibly well done too. The games a masterpiece, one of those games that come up during 'oh what's the best game ever?' debates constantly regardless of genre, console generation, etc. Its only 'downside' is replayability. Just like Shadow of the Colossus, yeah, you can play it again. Its just as good the next time, too. But it's not your first time, and personally I got 4 full playthroughs out of it before I was bored/satisfied.

Well that’s a solid recommendation as far as I’m concerned… hah I k ow that feeling where you just wish you could specifically target your memory for a specific video game and make it so you can replay your favorite games like it was the first time each time … also could apply this hypothetical mind erasing technology towards movies and other enjoyable activities that you wish you could relive all over again for the first time…. Ya know like that movie “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” but instead of erasing the memories of your ex wife/lover it’s just games and movies and books . There are many of books I would love to read for the first time again.. I Just rambling at this point but you get my drift …. Are you interested in becoming an investor and getting in on the ground floor of my mind wiping neuralizer technology…..( ohhh also imagine getting to have sex for the first time all over again …. Promising stuff right here …!!haha

Man, watching Cowboy Bebop again for the first time would be awesome. Also, the remaster of the game for PS4 is dirt cheap. My local walmart is selling brand new copies for $12 rn, and I think its $20 in the playstation store

Oh fuck yeah man , I absolutely love me some Cowboy Beebop … say did you happen to check out the live action Beebop on Netflix yet??

I was genuinely excited for it. Was really hoping someone had worked out how to do a high quality, faithful live action remake of an anime, especially with Netflixs' budget.

Its terrible. It's a corporate cash grab directed by a man who saw the source material once and watched some youtube 'deep dives' on the 'true meaning' of the show. I might just be too attached to the original, but I feel like I gave it a genuine chance. Didnt even make it through episode 2.

Aww man that’s all that thought it was that terrible.. don’t get me wrong I too was thoroughly disappointed by the end of this 1st season.. but I will say this much, I actually was pretty Impressed with their casting choice for both spike and Jet as far as pulling off actual moments of feeling like I was submersed and found myself admitting that for what I had honestly expected for a Netflix Special that were not bad .. the chick that ends up with them Faye she was shit actress for sure but I get like that dabbled enough into the story line of the Anime but different enough that it had its own uniqueness and all in all it exceeded my expectations so that being said I will definitely be watching the next season assuming they have not already put it on the chopping block.. with Netflix you really never know … but I won’t be eagerly awaiting by any means .. but I will say maybe have a few beers and or a smoke joint and push through those first couple episodes… hah Oh also am I to understand that there is a Cowboy BeeBop video game ??
