If it was so obvious why so many were confused on what happened and pissed about it?

Very deserved, what a fantastic game. The haters just realizing how little their opinion matters.

People really do not know what storytelling means, right?

Which people?

wow, it's really losing steam now. The saltiness in here is hilarious.

I think most people already know. No problems with the other awards it won, and not like any of this is a big deal anyway. 

Fall Guys winning family game is a bigger dud. 

Oh my bad, i was referring to people on youtube and on other sites. And two users on the first page of this thread. Sorry, i should not generalize and be more clear. 

TLOU2 truly separated and highlighted the ones who are actually deep and truly think from the ones who are shallow and just take things for face value.

Don't think most people already know, critics liked the story (well even giving it GOTY on that) and several players also though it. And well if this is a gamers voting and it won that should mean that most think it is a good story. So not sure most people know it is bad.

Not sure if being MP only should remove Fall Guys from the discussion. What I do know is that my daugther, son, wife, cousin and nieces loved the game and is the one the mostly played and liked in a good while, for me that qualifies it as family game.

My question was more because the way you said I had no idea if you said it because you think people that complain about TLOU2 story is wrong or if it's people that like it is wrong =p

I did not know that many people were confused because of TLoU2. It seemed easy enough to follow.

There are on the other hand many reasons why people were pissed about it. Like Joel not having a bigger part in the game, or playing as somebody they hated, or running over such a short span of time that no meaningful relationships could form, or sidestories that were not well received, etc. Not saying these are my reasons.

Also, you seem to suggest that the game being obvious and people being pissed about it are mutually exclusive. I do not think so. To me, a game can easily be all three things we brought up: obvious, infuriating, and even confusing.

Why did I call it obvious (some spoilers, be warned): it was clear from the very beginning that the fireflies would be a big part of the game. How those people are designed immediately gave the impression that they are more important than your throw away goon. Also you already play as Abby in the first hour of the game. And she was the focal point of one of their biggest trailers (their marketing). Long story short: yeah, it was obvious that they were trying to paint a group of people as evil just to later reveal that they are, in fact, human, and that there is always another side to things, and that forgiving is hard, blah, blah, blah. I just had to roll my eyes so much. Really boring masseging.

And dont get me wrong. TLoU2 is in many ways a daring game. Just not at all where it would have mattered to me. I'm glad that many were able to enjoy it.
