| JuliusHackebeil said: I'll never miss a chance to complain about The Last of Us 2. Horrible story, treating its audience like children, cheap unearned moral victories, the trans child stuff, questionable character motivation, the utterly unimaginative gameplay scenarios compared to part one,... Way too bold in some areas, way too timid in others. It does not work as a stand alone game. It only works (a little bit) because of part one. I truly hate most things about it. And I think it left a sour taste in many fans mouths, to the point where Naughty Dog really has to earn a lot of trust back with Intergalactic. The critics did not reflect that whatsoever. Most all reviews coming from actual publications raved about how daring and awesome it is. Strong disconnect between the fans and the critics. |
I don't think I've disagreed with a post more in quite some time.
The game is a masterpiece even bigger than the original.
There is nothing on 2 better than Joel and Ellie's relantionship in 1, but there is nothing else better on 1 than on 2.
I would love to know which are those utterly unimaginative gameplay scenarios compared to 1. Both games are really great on that. 2 is even better than 1 tho. There is nothing in 1 like the Rat King fight or the whole seraphites island battle, the first encounter with them and you realizing they are actually communinacting by whistling is also something only 2 have. TLoU2 also have vastly better gameplay so every encounter can turn in something really cool and changing midway depending on how you approach it.
Are you sure you played TLoU2?
