Your comment is the fruit of youtube drama,i do not like the story either but your reasoning is uninformed.

And the story about him and Amy Hennig is not factual,the writer of that story at IGN said he was forced to include that in his article by his piece of shit bosses at that time that got fired some time after for abusing the staff.

I actually avoided all the leaks and spoilers. Played 12 hours of the game and just couldn't complete it, it is the most uninteresting and boring story and gameplay. The only good thing about it is graphics but just good graphics dont make a game good. I saw all the youtube drama after I played the game and they were not wrong at all and I wish I saw all of that before I played this rolling pile of crap. It is not a good game, it is a product of someone who is ultra obsessed with socio-political crap.

Speaking of Amy Hennig, she actually left or was asked to leave Naughty Dog after being confronted by Neil Druckmann that he doesn't like the the direction of the story of Uncharted 4 because it needs more and stronger female presence. There is nothing wrong in that, there are many great games with female protagonists and characters. But it gets quite annoying when it is so blatantly obvious that your trying to force stuff like that and alter the vision of a writer and/or creative director just for the sake of forcing your views to everyone else. The last good game Naughty Dog made was The last of us. Everything else came after that game was a joke.

Bolded:

There is absolutely no proof the product is ''bad'' because he was obsessed with socio political crap,you can make objective comments about the characters structure and the style of writing used for this story but you can only assume the motivation behind them.

Second bolded:

''Update 06/24/2020: Recent details have come to light around this report, originally published March 5, 2014, that required revisiting. After speaking with those involved with the story at the time, IGN has learned that its original reporter was allegedly given explicit instruction to run comments from sources the reporter was told were specifically calling out details around the reasoning behind Amy Hennig’s departure from Naughty Dog. The original reporter was not able to personally verify these accounts. Following the publication of this story, IGN editors made follow-up attempts to confirm or deny the original sources' assertions, but those attempts were ultimately inconclusive. Given these findings, IGN can no longer confidently stand by this reporting, as many of its leaders involved in directing that report are no longer with the company. We have also updated the byline to reflect the multiple voices that contributed to this story at the time. We apologize for the working practices that led to this story's original publication — they do not represent our current approach to news reporting, or any other element of IGN content.'' Quote from Mitch Dyer on twitter who made the article: ''When I reported on Amy leaving Naughty Dog, Steve Butts and Tal Blevins forced gossip into the story. They heard it was a hostile takeover. We didn't want to publish it. I tried to take my name off the story. They would not allow me to do so.'' Links: IGN Mitch Dyer twitter
