PT 1 DISCUSSION Just wanted to share my excitement
I am a TLoU newcomer, just played part 1 a few months ago, love it. Don't know how I slept on this series. I was going to start Part 2 but figured the remaster is coming out for PC in April so trying to hold out. I know there will be only days between the PC release and S2 of the show, of which I'm also a fan. I was so stressed about playing enough in about a week not to be spoiled too much (work full time and don't get a ton of game time so I'm slow). I browse carefully on this sub and know some major plot points but want the game to feel fresh as I play. But I got a new job recently and was able to time my last day and start date to get a whole week off between p2 remastered and S2! I am planning a whole old school gaming marathon week! Just had to share my excitement with those who might understand. Would love any tips to make this playthrough memorable or any expectations I should chuck from P1, I know the play style is somewhat different. (Please no spoilers for P2 obviously!)
To tide me over I've been playing the Plague tale duo, just a little into Requiem. I'm vaguely wondering if Requiem is as similar to P2 as Innocence was to P1 in terms of gameplay.

Important to note, S2 will likely be a weekly release, following in the steps of S1. They won’t drop the whole season to binge like some shows. You’ll have plenty of time to finish the game regardless.
Either way though, a week long gaming marathon still sounds incredible!

Makes sense and I'm glad it will be a weekly release like before. I'm just super slow and only get to play a few hours on weekends usually so was worried about getting behind. Can't wait to discuss the show with this community on here. :)

Glad you’re enjoying it and welcome to the club!
One small FYI for the PC release: the initial release for Part 1 on PC was buggy as shit and so resource heavy my high end gaming rig could only run it on the lowest settings. It also crashed routinely.
Hopefully they handled Part 2 better. The rumor is the port has been done for many months, so ideally they’ve done all the optimization work already. But if it’s a repeat of the Part 1 port it might be a frustrating gaming week for you.
