If I was to throw out any criticism, it would be that ND seems to be going down the familiar route of casting Hollywood actors rather than fish from the large pond of amazing talent. It’s becoming a growing trend within the industry. The worst culprit for this is Kojima, who famously recast David Hayter in MGSV with Kiefer Sutherland despite it not making sense contextually. Then casting Norman Reedus in the now defunct Silent Hills and of course Death Stranding. Hell, I can remember Vin Diesel being cast in Ark a few years back. Was that needed? It’s not a deal breaker, I’m sure the talent regardless of status will do fine. But it’s just interesting to see a game do this during a time when so many in the industry are struggling to find work.

Norman then received a call from Kojima, and Norman immediately said, "Yes!", and that is how he got cast for Silent Hills.

I don’t think you can explain the disastrous like to dislike ratio on their channel, but also on the official PlayStation channel or on outlets like IGN etc., with a „downvote campaign“. A lot of people just don’t like it. And I doubt their opinions will change, no matter what Naughty Dog shows next. If it’s not obvious by now, even the guy hosting „The Game Awards“ couldn’t help but notice that many of the nominated games are from Japan. There is a reason for that. Quite a few people have a wrong idea about Naughty Dog‘s success. While TLOU 1 was a huge hit, TLOU 2 underperformed their internal targets by more than 15 million copies. Having good graphics, excellent motion capture and animations isn’t good enough anymore. The core audience doesn’t want this sort of content. If Sony was disappointed with TLOU 2 sales, you can imagine how disappointed they will be with this one. Their management probably has PTSD flashbacks from Concord already. Videos of animated statistical graphs reveal clear trends: nations and economies rise and fall, football clubs dominate and vanish, and the same is true for gaming studios. Naughty Dog is over their peak. The same goes for BioWare, DICE, Bungie, various Ubisoft studios and many others. Many of the people and the culture that made the previous games great aren’t even there anymore.

I get it, my first impressions aren't through the roof either, and I generally dislike the bounty hunter archetype, but ND knows how to bring something new and fresh into a generic/cliche setting, so let's just wait for more updates, we haven't even seen any gameplay yet, except for those 5 seconds at the end

There's no way I'm buying a game from naughty dog after last of us 2 I'm a writer and editor and I thought it was horrible writing. The writing only focused on surface level shock value and had no immersion with character development or world building. For example, I believe good writing will get a person to a place where they feel like crying, and the fact that I didn't get near that place when Joel died surprised me. I was so invested in that character from the first game. Even a mediocre writer could have made that a much more emotional experience. Then I was forced to play as an unlikable antagonist, which was not an enjoyable experience at all. I just kept letting the zombies kill me cause I didnt care if she lived or died, and after a few hours I realized it wasn't going to return to Ellie and I was going to be stuck playing her for a while, so I just quit playing. And I always finish a game when I start it, so that was a first. Further showing me how much I really don't like this game. And, after watching the ending on Utube, I'm so glad I quite when I did. It was such a waste of money, and I'm not exaggerating when I say the worse game I've ever played. There's no way I will buy a game from them again.

These days the world is full of people complaining about things being badly written. And then they write something like, "That was the *worse* game I've ever played..."
