I couldn't agree less, I think the story makes perfect sense, especially by the end. I just think it includes a lot of aspects that people didn't want from a sequel.
Incredible game though
It's probably not better than the first story-wise but it trumps it in every single other area. Gameplay, graphics, sound design, mechanics - all superb. (edited)
A game so good, people have to keep bringing this up. Awards from corrupt organisations mean a lot.
(spoiler warning in the above video)
Dunkey covered this pretty well. I think a lot of people were mad that the story didn't go in a more predictable direction.
I guess the last jedi is one of the greatest movies of all time. Brb getting the blu ray.
If the fact that the game is hated by half of the community, yet praised by 99% of media is not enough proof of corruption, then theres nothing left to say really.
ok nvm, youre right. The media has never had a history of lying in collaberation with each other. (edited)
Nice tinfoil hat
All 261 organisations or just some of them? Anything at all to back that up?
Not seeing the relevance here other than to deflect from you having nothing to back up your claim.
You wrote a novel. Go outside. The games a masterpiece and when you grow up you might see why. There is no agenda, but I'd love to hear what they're apparently pushing. Please tell me. It's a brilliant and challenging story and the first is one of my favourite games ever but I think this is equally good in different ways.
A user score that actually takes into account ownership of the game. 4.7/5 = 94/100 - almost exactly the same as the Metacritic score. And still people choose to believe the review-bombed user scores. (edited)
Replying to
haven't finished it yet but feels like im close to the end...i'm already putting this in my top 10 best games ever.
gotta be the best graphics I ever saw. wow!
Glad I missed this on PS4...I'm playing this on PS5 with the 60fps update....no way 30fps on PS4 would do the gameplay justice.
I can deny that - as there's nothing to suggest those numbers represent people who've actually played the game. (edited)
And that's down to people's expectations of what they wanted from the second one. If the story we were told in TLOU2 was actually the first one we were told (ie there was no tlou1), or if TLOU1 was actually based on Abby's story from the same time period, expectations would have been different and I don't think it would have been reviewed by the fanbase in the same way.
Fantastic game, emotionally powerful, easy 9/10 for me.
Don't get me wrong I Iiked the depth but to me, the story until Ellie and Dina set off on the journey seems like a series of errors.
What Joel done, then the name issue, and what Abby and the crew done after the big plot twist.
I'm don't want to give away spoilers but the story felt forced to me, like I remember reading an article about how Abby could almost not be that muscular off of an apocalyptic era diet.
Yeah that's my personal complaint with TLOU2. It feels bloated, which is natural seeing as it tells two stories in a properly cinematic fashion. The first game just feels streamlined, but not in a rushed sense, it's naturally paced and very well told.
Some elements of TLOU2 feel a bit forced, but overall its a crushing emotional tale.
The stealth-action gameplay is stunning and intense. Graphics are perfect.
Where did the statistic of half of the community hate this game come from? I've never been asked or given my opinion on this game to any community ever.
I have one negative comment to make about this game..which is it was a little too long/bloated.
Otherwise this is a gaming masterpiece.
That'll be the metacritic user score. The one that anyone can contribute to without having played the game, and which had 5,000 user reviews in the first half-day after releasing. The game is 25-30 hours long.
Asking you to back up something you just made up isn't in bad faith (edited)
You can't deny that this game has divided the fanbase into people 56% people who loved it and 44% people who hated it or didn't care for it.
It was praised by all the mainstream media, but there are too many reviews that are critical of the game.
The Last of Us 1 was beloved by all. TLOU2 was review bombed, sure! But Naughty dog made sure to antagonize its fans before the game even released. If they had followed the first game's expertly crafted storyline, I can guarantee everyone would've sang its praise.
Now I didn't add up the YouTube numbers perfectly, but the views and likes and comments from the critical reviews versus the views and likes from the positive reviews seem to show that metacritic's user score is pretty accurate.
Naughty Dog become this behemoth of a company because it built a reputation with Jak and Daxter, Uncharted and of course, The Last of Us. All of these games have great reviews from both critics and users.
Having more people buy their game only ensures that they can make more games in the future, which is why I think they should stop dividing the fan base.
Absolutely but I don't then review it as if I've eaten it. People criticising something without playing it is the very point I'm making. To be able to critically evaluate anything you surely need to have experienced it? It is also not 'basically a cinematic experience'. It's a 25-30 hours game with about 10 hours of cutscenes.
There was only like 5k reviews before it released or something like that. I mean the fact that you think most of the negative reviews came from the quartering viewers shows that you fell for the deflection of a bad story. Most people who left a bad review did it because the story is terrible as a sequal. As a standalone its fine tbh, but not good by any stretch of the imagination. People who didnt play the first should enjoy it for the gameplay and graphics.
The story made the people who loved the first one mad, thus the review bombing. The agenda stuff was secondary, and many believe the agendas pushed, compromised the potential for good storytelling. But the end complaint is still the story.
Also you dont need to play a story driven game with a lot of cutscenes to form an opinion of it. Many people watched it on twitch and left a bad review because the story was bad. Whats the issue with this? No one is criticising the gameplay or graphics or sound. Just the story (which is 80% of what matters in games like this) which you dont even need to play to criticise. Its almost like saying that someone whos never made a film cant be critical of one (in this case by forcing them to buy the game and play it before they can have a valid opinion, even though again, its not necessary in cutscene heavy games).
I wish I hadnt wasted money on it tbh and just watched someone play it. (edited)
Mate war and peace has less of a wordcount in it then your boring rant and you've replied to about 10 comments on this. Weird clapback to say I'm the one who's so emotionally invested. In the time you spent trying to convince other people it's a festering turd you probably could've played it for yourself and maybe see why we all liked it? Also, the agenda? If you wouldn't mind indulging me? What was it?
Youre asking a question you know there isn't concrete proof of. There are only patterns. I just gave you an example of media banding together to promote a bad movie and you ignored it instead of having a discussion. Youre the one deflecting with a bad faith question tbh. (edited)
Source?
Where can I find that most media is corrupt? From the very same media? You know I dont have proof, so it's arguing in bad faith. Its like asking a religious person for scientific proof of god. Its a bad question that shuts down discussion.
There are patterns one can detect and make their own conclusion about the media. Thats as far proof as you can get, and its good enough for me to hate and disregard most of them. (edited)
Playing the sequel has nothing to do with the ability to criticize it.
It is basically a cinematic experience, and many people watched YouTube/ twitch streams. Are those people not allowed to criticize it either?
Also, I don't understand this logic. You can look at a turd on a plate and know you won't enjoy it.
I agree that you should not let your enjoyment of a game be affected by reviewers.
Cinematic experience doesn't always mean cutscenes. There are segments in the game where you are being lead through beautiful landscapes.
Kills in game are cinematic. Video games usually treat killing differently. This is what the game does well. The sound design and visuals are fantastic; the game is truly a technological marvel. You need to experience this to be able to criticize it.
However, since you are watching 10 hours worth of cutscenes, the story must be excellent. And therein lies the problem. I can read the I introduction of a book and I'll know I don't want to read it.
Also, I'm sure the reviews on metacritic aren't all real, but I think most who left a review there must have played it or engage with it by now. (edited)
I mean since you want to resort to ad hominem conversations over. Youre obviously quite insecure about liking this game, so ill stop before you get emotionally overwhelmed.
