The Metacritic userscore was kinda expected. The leaked story and theme gives haters and fanboys fuel. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are load of astroturfers on there as well.

My copy sadly hasn't arrived yet, looking forward to continuing Ellie's (and the a lesser extent) Joel's story.

When I purchased the delivery was to be 3 to 5 working days, so I probably going to get by middle next week. But I just sent a message to the store to confirm since there may be problems since I bougth it over 2 months ago.

What's the point of a spoiler free discussion thread. Can't this be the spoiler thread and the MC/OC thread be spoiler free. There is no need for three threads.

I created it as well

https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/242680/spoiler-alert-free-discussion-of-tlou2-with-story-included/1/

It is just that since it will take couple days for a full play and the review thread isn't a discussion thread I agreed with mods to have 3 threads

Spoiler free - this one

With spoilers - already tagged

I'm on the fence of picking it up. I enjoyed the first game for what it was, but didn't love it.

I guess you may wait for a few days and see more reviews that will be less restricted. And perhaps some gameplay sections or alternativelly buy it cheaper.

Yeah that is what I am thinking. Majority of games I wait for them to be on sale before picking them up. Having Game Pass makes me think spending $60 on most games is not worth it. I've recently bought Doom Eternal, Star Jedi Fallen Order and Resident Evil 3 discounted. 

Yep GP is a major saving with good games and seems to be continuously improving.

It says I'm just under four hours in. I have some strong feelings towards it so far but I still can't form an overall opinion on the game due to the pacing and setup so far, that could be a very good sign (The witcher 3, TPP, Divinity OS etc) or a very bad sign (Nioh 2, Doom Eternal etc).

I can acknowledge the good and the bad however, The gameplay is great. The graphics are top tier, VA and production all around to, not quite on RDR2 level but almost on par however I prefer them keeping the animations quick and tight so the game can be... gamifed. The story so far without getting into spoilers has ranged from teen drama to extreme violence and back again, paced very well but I fear ND misinterpreted the bulk of their audience and went on reception of LB rather than recption of the original game. I gotta say though, the gameplay is great and I'm still playing so that's something. Feels like they took parts of every other ps3-ps4 game they've made and mashed them all together and I've yet to see if that ultimately pays off.

That is my expectation, that the game in all is good enough that the portions like silly teen drama can be a smaller problem.

Lord I hope so cause these dialouge writers are so fucking bad, they could easily alleviate the problems with this dramatic and mushy shit by adding some levity but they fail at that, If I recall they landed one joke but the rest have been as cringey as the flirting. It's starting to really piss me off, enough so that I might not be able to play this game in meaningful chunks if it continues, it's even worse than Chloe/Nadine chatter. I feel like I'm playing a teen zombie film, it even fucked up some scenes that should have been impactful. They need a writing team focused solely on comedt and jokes briefed on the script and allowed to insert levity where needed, just before the cringe spikes. 

True, if you enjoy the game but get annoyed by some stuff playing a portion and giving a time is a good way to not be burned by the bad portion.
