| Wman1996 said: I just finished the story. Now I understand why people are mad. But I can't fathom how people would give this game (story or overall) a 1 or 2 out of 10. It has enough redeeming factors to get AT LEAST get a 3 or 4 out of 10. I'd give the game as a whole a 6/10, and the story a 4/10. Spoiler!
You play roughly a 1/3 of the game as Abby, and most of that is all in a row. It's an insult to have the cover just show Ellie. It's false advertising. It should have her and Abby on the cover. At least the releases of the first game showed both Joel and Ellie. I understand you played as Joel for at least 2/3 of the game (or more) but Ellie was a huge part too.
The first game wasn't particularly long (12-18 hours roughly depending on difficulty and the player's skill). This game is about 20-30 hours. I would've rather just had virtually all of Abby's story cut and fixed the ending. I think that would fix some things. I don't despise Abby or find her very compelling. She just makes me feel numb, which is what the story as a whole did. I don't see many of the character choices or ideas political, despite this game being labeled as such. |
Just stupid people would do it. Makes no sense except vent your frustration. A game is comprised of several different things, story being one of them. Of course since this is a story driven game it has a bigger weight when calculating a score, but less than a 5 for this game considering everything makes no sense at all.
This is why it would be interesting to have on metacritic some kind of "weighted" score, excluding those scores that are just trolling.
Anyway even if you do it it seems we would not get to a user score of 94.
I believe PSN and Amazon would more more trustworthy scores.
