Don't forget to hide game spoilers!
We don't want to ruin the fun of a game for anyone by spoiling the story line. Please keep it in mind!

If you like text adventures, try Noble Man from Delight Games.

I would have liked more content and story development, but it's still well done. That's why I want more. I think they worked so much on quality and attracting more casual players that they were stingy with content.

Finished The LAST OF US for the first time and really enjoyed it. Great characters and development and the stealth gameplay was enjoyable. Any recommendations on what to play next? Besides the dlc which I am almost finished with I am looking for something with good story and characters. As far as PS4 goes, I've only played Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Uncharted 4 so far and am currently making my way through God of War. I also own an Xbox One which is what I mainly game on.

If you like narrative driven adventure games, get Uncharted Lost Legacy, the Witcher 3 and the Assassin's Creed Ezio collection + AC Origins and Odyssey. You might also like Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, though the first one is only on PS3/XBOX and graphics are 8 years old, it shows.

Honestly, while I played Uncharted 4 and enjoyed it at first, I cannot play anymore of it. The gameplay got real old fast for me. I've also played through The AC games and both Red Dead Redemptions. But thanks for the recommendations. I'll have to give the Witcher 3 another chance. I've tried a few times to play it.

Thank Athena... I haven't been able to play it since that spoiler dropped. I've tried, but the thought of forced het s*** just tainted it.

I think I'll pass TWD's last season. Maybe I'll download it but they won't see my money.

Isn't this old news? Skybound hired the old TWD team back and they're being payed properly. Telltale is not involved with these two episodes as they no longer exist as a company.

I'm not really trusting a better alternative but what happens if you pick 'farewell'? He comes back and you have the baby anyways? Probably so cause they clearly think they could get away with it by giving us that "I chose this life because I want a family" option.

I didn't see the farewell option. I skipped ahead to the end and saw the baby and was like fuck it. Now I got small sliver of hope. It's out tomorrow right?

Whoever was playing this preview was deliberately choosing romantic/family options. Darius asks you if you're gonna try to have a simple life, you can say that you will or you can say "I'm a Misthios". A few moments later, the dude is leaving and you can either say "Farewell" or ask him to stay. Then towards the end, after the baby is already born, you get to tell the dude that you choose this life because you love him or because you wanted a family.

So idk... there are at least 3 options that downplay the romance but I'm still wary of this. I'll be very surprised if they created a whole different storyline that doesn't involve having a baby because it seems like a big deal to main dlc plot. We'll find that out tomorrow, I guess.

I just rewatched it and I'm hopeful now. There was another woman and a child at the pier, maybe they are someone of importance?

Adding the farewell option should mean that you can choose to say goodbye. It still sucks that they coded all of Kassandra and dude's interactions as romantic, but I can get over that if we can just send him away. But yes, the whole continuing legacy thing seems like something they are intent on happening. I just don't want it to be with my lesbian Kassandra

They basically managed to piss off lesbians, feminists, anyone who just wanted Kass/Alexios to be a badass Misthios... it seems that only homophobes are happy with the forced het story. Well done, Ubisoft.

Yeah it has been released some places.

According to that person on Reddit you don't have a choice. You might not necessarily 'romance' him, but you are forced to have a child.

Apparently it is. Especially if you say farewell. Then he'll leave a letter for Kassandra that will make her cry (more than when Pheobe died) and like a cheap Hallmark movie he arrives after she read it and "squash" they are a couple... It would be less romantic if you asked him to stay as you could tell him you only did for a family and not for him

Holy shit, that's so manipulative. They really fucked this up for anyone who didn't want romance. The false illusion of a choice is nagl.

Does the DLC take place in the middle of the main story? If so, then this baby bs makes ZERO sense. Forced het romance is bad enough, but as if Kass would put hunting the cult of kosmos on hold to randomly have a family. Jfc Ubisoft!

People mentioned that the DLCs were created by a completely different team than the team that created the original game. I feel like it shows, and that nobody talked to anybody in regards to the story or to how RPG heavy this game was :lol:

I'm surprised that even people on Reddit are pissed about this stupid dlc tbh. Not only does it go against the whole player choice thing but also it doesn't even make sense narratively. So Kassandra has a baby in the middle of the game while she's constantly traveling all over the place killing people and it's never mentioned?

DA, the comments were surprisingly in favor of the post. The mods apparently got bombarded with abuse reports and decided to shut the thread down.
