| 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. |
As much as I prefer to look at the positive side of things and not cave in to “hate brigades,” I cannot even begin to express how on-the-head this is. It’s a sequel that should’ve never been made, and is one of the only games ever where I dropped midway through due to boredom.
