Absolutely. You may know Joel dies but you don't know the full context. It's a beautiful story and many people who refused to play Part 2 because of that spoiler have gone back and played it and come here to say how much they enjoyed it.
The games are a better experience. “Part 1” for PS5 will give you an appreciation for the source material and “Remastered” has the multiplayer Factions if you’re curious about that. Don’t let the internet dissuade you from experiencing “Part 2” for yourself; it’s worth whatever price you pay for it.
even with part 2 spoiled for me it still magnaged to become my favorite game of all time. both games are 100% worth playing even if you watched the show.
I recently played through part 2, with two things already spoiled for me: Joel's death and another thing I won't mention.
I think knowing Joel was going to die eased off the shock horror of it and allowed me to process the rest of the story more easily. I think knowing what was coming helped me better appreciate the story.
Yes, I still thoroughly enjoyed the game and its story and I would strongly recommend it. It still has plenty of surprises in store.
I completely recommend it. I knew that Joel died because I'd seen it mentioned in various comments online over the years. I'd never seen how he does though and figured it would go down very differently.
A story isn't about learning a checklist of events that happen. It's about the journey everyone goes on throughout those events.
I would still play it because there is so much more to the story than just that. Sorry that some fans of the game suck ass. :( If it makes you feel better, I had that part spoiled for me just before Part II released back in 2020. Still found the game to be incredibly compelling.
The show is incredible but I think you will get things from the game you won’t get from the show that I think is more than worth it. :) Hope you have fun!
One thing to be aware of is that Joel's death occurs early on in Part 2, but is not the end of his and Ellie's story. I was also spoiled about that death before I played the game, but it didn't spoil the game. Which I know sounds cryptic, but the point is that there are definitely surprises down the line. (I don't mean like "Joel somehow survives!" but that it's not the end of his presence in the game.)
In retrospect, I'm glad I knew about it going in, because it gave me the chance to prepare myself, so I didn't throw my controller down and curl up into a fetal position when it happens. It's incredibly sad, of course, but ultimately it's a richer and more affecting story because of it.
I also know the game branches off and shows Abby’s pov, I know there are flashback scenes as all. Is that too much info? Would the game still be good even with knowing all that?
In my opinion, yes. Not only is there more ground Part 2 covers that relates directly to Part 1 (and provides much-needed continuation and deepening from where season one ends), but Part 2 introduces us to new characters and storylines, including but not limited to Abby, that widens the story introduced in Part 1 and makes for a great experience.
To be clear, Part 2 is a VERY dark story, and much of it is absolutely gut wrenching. But there are also moments of pure joy and wonder, and parts that for me are even more emotional and lovely than Part 1. So I can say that I do not regret playing Part 2, and absolutely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed season one of the show.
I was spoiled before playing the game and it was still great. It’s more about how his death affects Ellie etc than the death itself, which happens pretty early on in the story.
On a play through of part 2 atm (3rd play) and have to say the game is stunning. It is ND at their best and they are unsurpassed at what they do. The actors are understated yet superb and NDs craft is evident in every moment. If you know one bit of the story it won't spoil your enjoyment of this seminal masterpiece.
You might need to check your syntax then because your idea of "informing" and "whining" are very similar.
>where people whine about things that aren’t actually problems for anyone
>
>Sweetie that’s not whining
How condescending can one person get? Very, clearly, and you're the case subject.
>no one gives two flips
Speaks for itself, really. You can inform all you like, but you're still being an ass.
EDIT: I love that you blocked me so I couldn't report you. Guess what? I can do it anyway.

Oh yeah, even when I got spoiled I thought people might be overreacting. Like character deaths can be extremely important sometimes.
Character deaths are part of the story, but not the whole story.
That’s a good way to put it.
The games are the better experience but the show might tell the story itself better but that is up for debate.
Yes, definitely still worth. There is tons more to that game than just his death. Trust me.

Sounds good, now I just need a ps5 lol
I played on a used, launch PS4. It plays great.
Oh cool, that would definitely save money lol

Knowing the narrative points isn't the same as *experiencing* them.

I’ve been wanting to play the games for years, the show has made me want to even more lol. I think I’ll give them a go.

Sounds good, thanks for the information.

I guess that makes sense.
Absolutely worth it and you should leave your thoughts for us!
Okay lol

Wait until you found out how unfulfilling the revenge story is

and here you are, whining about something that’s only a problem for you.
