first game is much better with the Pro reduces the frame drops significantly.

I’m 36 and I love my PS4
Don’t get me wrong I have a pc and it used to get a lot of attention but I prefer my PS4 and psvr these days. Also can’t wait for Xbonex.
As far as the game goes it does look cool but waiting for a price drop.

Completed the game, quite enjoyed it. Might even replay it soon .
Which will pretty soon most probs as its not selling to well which is a pity because its a good game.
Completed last to and really enjoyed it. Total play time 14hrs 30mins so a decent length.
I think I'm on the final chapter now. Seems like an ending anyway.
My save file says I'm at about 30 hours. Hahah !!
Yes, I've been taking it slow, searching every nook and cranny and stealth killing from the shadows like a ninja Batman
So yeah..... lots of value.

It's a lot more fun on new game plus, when you can carry over the weapons and have all the skills handy.
I installed it today, it's a great game, the camera turns really slow when playing with a controller, but with a mouse it's fine. I feel like this game gives you so much more choice, and there's so much to do that annoys me as I prefer playing casual games, because I don't have a lot of time on my hands at the moment. But it is a great game, and if I had time to be running around exploring then I definitely would. well worth the money, and it sort of reminds me of the old Resident Evil games.
Right..... that's that finished 
Here's some spoiler free thoughts. Starting with the negative....
1) It's not as scary as TEW1. I always felt 1 was scary because (for the first half of the game anyway) you felt it could be kinda real. Real stuff was happening. 2 feels like a video game from the get go in terms of the story, environment and enemies.
2) It's a little glitchy in places. The "quick sneak up and kill" skill you unlock seems to fail just as frequently as it works. Mainly if you're in a cluttered environment.
3) The final few chapters lack polish. No blame here. I know how game development works. Just saying what it is. 2D planes instead of models and invisible walls where you should clearly be able to run/walk/hide/go. It's nothing that will make you throw the controller down in disgust, but it's a shame.
4) Story is very disjointed. Changing tack half way through, just felt weird to me, like they didn't have enough good story for 1 game, so they put 2 weaker stories together.
Still, the positives....
1) Great length to the game. Took me ages to finish due to thoroughness, but I guess most people will be getting 10+ hours out of it.
2) Looks great. Don't care what system you're on, it's a nice looking game.
3) And the most major positive of all, it's STILL great masses of fun running around and shooting and sneaking and killing baddies. Some of the mid-bosses are annoying, but generally I had a blast from beginning to end.
Now..... do I play New Game+ or start again on Nightmare?
I feel getting some of the extra trophies will be easier on NG+, however that won't allow me to get the one for finishing the game on Nightmare or above
Decisions decisions.

Finished this yesterday, all in all I enjoyed it. Few comments;
1. Looks great on the X, although the variable frame rate is less than smooth. Fixed is much better, but still noticed some drops in places
2. The zoom in on shooting is incredibly irritating
3. The stealth in this game is much better than the first
4. Good length to the game, first play through was around 17 hours and that included a lot of scavenging (which was great fun).
5. Story/pacing, as mentioned previously seems to take a weird turn around half way through. The first few chapters of open world town gameplay is the best part of the game imo.
6. Good depth to skills, gun upgrades etc
7. The skill to slow down time when aiming is awesome for some, oh so juicy, gratuitous gore
Overall i'd give this game a solid 8/10.
Started a NG+ to get a few of the achievements that i've missed, but doubt i'll bother playing through on Nightmare or above.

Not really it is all a bit of nonsense. 2nd game is very different from the 1st.
2and game is nonsense too. It's fun though
