Forums - Sony - TLOU2 is losing steam. Why?

I will say it again, a masterpiece, where every scene and moment of the game has a purpsoe and was well thought out,right to the end. Looking forward to the ps5 enhanced upgrades .

I already bought, played and platinumed the special edition of TLOU2 and I’m planning to buy the remastered version on PS5 just to experience the best i’ve ever had in my gaming career all over again.

Because it's one of the worst games ever, there's nothing surprising about it losing steam.

once you have seen a story it's finished, see Game of Thrones

Every game that releases these days goes straight to twitch, and anyone can see the story of every game that comes out.  The game still sold millions in it's first couple of days, so this simply is not true.

A massive hate campaign was what happened, and people bought on it.
What happened with it on Metacritic alone was unprecedent.
It's by far the best game this year, which is really sad for those people missing on it.
Probably still made ND good money already and they may make a TLoU2R like they did back with the original and the PS5 early day hype might help it a lot since there will be no hate campaign anymore, who knows.

And why was there a massive hate campaign?  There had to be something wrong with the game for there to be so much pushback against it, otherwise, there wouldn't be an unprecedented hate campaign on Metacritic.  It wouldn't have gained so much traction and any hate for the game wouldn't have stuck.

Spoiler!

You do not take a character, who could sense when someone was lying and trying to ambush in the first game, and allow him to immediately trust a new person and a random group of people, all the while Tommy is going out and giving out names, like they don't know they've been murdering people to survive over 20 years.  It's so foolish and comical that it's not even realistic by any stretch of the imagination.  If you want to kill Joel so badly, and bring out the rage of the player to go after Abby you have to set-up Joel as being a competent, worthwhile character.  He never would have done that in the first game, or he wouldn't have survived.  How you handle the character is important.

Not to mention, the gameplay is suck in 2013.  Outside of the graphics, there is nothing special about this game that couldn't have been done on PS3.  Gameplay is almost exactly the same, with some minor rope climbing added.  But what is this game doing outside of graphics that shows it's evolved over a 7 year period?

The ending of the game was a let down too.  All that set-up, and Ellie is going around killing people without mercy, yet the ONE person the player WANTS to kill, and Ellie lets her go free?  Abby would have died anyway.  She was captured and Ellie saved her (what?) After Tommy asked her to leave Dena and the baby and go out and kill, or something?  I'm foggy with the details. but Ellie's story was done.  She had no reason to leave that house, and had she not, Abby would have died anyway.  Too see her freed, and Ellie without a family, for no reason, was onr horrible let-down in the story out of many.  It most definitely was not game of the generation, or game of the year, by a long shot, and I 100% disagree with your assessment.

Exactly what's in the spoilers. It's TLoU 1 with a recoat of paint but with an atrocious nonsensical story and absolutely awful forgettable characters, the game makes you even don't care about Ellie anymore, I went for wanting to protect Ellie with my own life to find her so irritating and idiotic that I'm no longer cared what happened to her anymore, and the ending is terrible and makes absolutely no sense, but then again the whole game is like that.

Only launch number was released by Sony which is 4 million units.

According to gamstat total number of players for TLOU2 = 7.2 million players. 

GOT has like 5.8 million players and sold 5 million units. So, TLOU2 should be around 6.3 million units by now. 

Using Game Stats is not a good source since that site is inaccurate AF

it is still a good source if yu want to have just a glimpse of how the game is performing, and since sony is not releasing any new sales milestone for the game, it ends being the only source at the moment. I believe it is not that far from the real numbers. I expected tlou2 to be much ahead of got though.

I personally don't get the people can't handle a muscular woman argument. I mean, Capcom fighting games like Chun Li. Or just about any female in a Capcom fighting game and half the roster of Mortal Kombat games. Samus Aran esp in the SNES version. Overwatch. Tyris Flare of Golden Axe. Blaze of Streets of Rage. Vanessa lewis VF. Amazon Dragon's Crown. Kassandra AC:O. Kanna Kirishima Sakura Wars. Boss MGS3. Leona Heidern KOF. Female warrior in Diablo. Rinkah FE Fates. Milda from Grandia. Ayla Chrono Trigger. Hanna Suikoden 2. Shina Bloody Roar. Hammer Fable II. And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Hundreds more muscular female characters in games. So I don't buy that argument people hate TLOUII because muscle woman.

It's just nonsense, there's no generalized problem with muscular women in gaming, the problem is that Abby is a super-roided bitch in a world where resources are supposedly scarce, she's also annoying and awful but also completely uninteresting character that they force you to play with, why? Who knows because it certainly didn't make you sympathize with her.

And don't forget that pregnant women go running around, jumping, climbing and getting in any and every danger they can even though we are in a post-apocalyptic world with probably a heavily decimated population.

It's just an awful idiotic game.

what an awful idiotic level of judgement. Abby is the best character in years. Clearly it's a game beyond your level.

Hey you two, just thought id bring up an old debate.

Go watch the finale of the Mandalorian Season 2, just to prove how wrong you both actually are. Calling Skywalker a coward.

For those that don't want to be spoilered, don't watch the video below. The Mandalorian director understands Star Wars.

This series proves that Disney are guilty of character assassination.

Spoiler!
