this game is actually really sick. A year or two removed from its release and it has aged so poorly. It's nothing more than a masturbatory edgy gorefest for a creepy pedophilic Hollywood reject (Druckmann).

They will ( in some cases ) not say one word about level design, enemy AI, difficulty tuning etc. etc. Normies care about graphics. They are OBSESSED with graphics - and I think it's the reason single player games are getting soooo short. It seems like most games are nothing more than tech demos lately. Either way - gaming has gone full on mainstream...and well...now the publishers feel obligated to make their games idiot proof. The golden age of gaming seems to be over.

@@lrsb1678 That sounds like a matter of opinion, then. Saying "you are absolutely meant to see Joel dying for the sake of the game," is just insisting upon your own beliefs. You're not saying anything grounded in fact. I could use the same line of reasoning for Nora's death. The game is supposedly about the cycle of revenge. Showing Nora's death could (in theory) satiate the player's rage and thirst for revenge, sinking them deeper into Ellie's shoes and making her final decision to spare Abby more impactful. See? I can do it too.

Instead of Abby we should have been able to play Tommy. Dude was total badass throught the game.

Actually screw ellie she aint got shit on Tommy. Tommy should have been the main character instead. I was mad they even managed to ruin him in the end. He is now a beaten up lost soul whose wife left him (for what? wanting justicew for his brother?) and now he just nags ellie to remind her of her promise. What the fuck naughty dog?

[@demotryquebec3070]

Good dlc bait.

[@teutonicresistancetv6445]

The game should've had a crew of Fire Flies that were hunting Joel maybe led by Marlene's brother and attack the camp in Wyoming and kill Dina and Jesse. Then Joel and Ellie go after them, halfway through they can ambush Joel and kill him, while he's dying he can admit to Ellie why they came after him. Then after Ellie is upset by this, but she still wants to avenge Joel, so she and Tommy go to Seattle to find the Fireflies that have teamed up with the Wolves. Maybe the Seraphim's can be a group they run into on the way there to kill every single one of the Wolves and Fireflies. Also there would be no Abby whatsoever. The character is fucking stupid and just unrealistic!

DevC yea usually I like some of his videos, but good lord I hated his video calling us idiots for not liking the game. He even says the pacing sucks, but he still tried to justify to dumbass actions of the characters we loved, and the ones we hated. I think the worst part of his review was trying to look at abbys fathers perspective. Like all the fireflies had to do was just wait till Ellie woke up to let her make her choice but they decided not to, and they were gonna kill Joel cause now he knows where their hideout is. They should’ve known Joel would’ve done anything to protect her which was more then enough to respect his wishes as much as her. Then the Doctor pulled a scalpel on Joel and got himself killed. So we shouldn’t try to sympathize with the fireflies cause they let fear and desperation for a cure cloud their judgement and that’s what got them killed. But did cousmount ever talk about that, he’ll no and he called us idiots for thinking otherwise.

[@honor6200]

@@masterzombie161 yeah, and the pinned comment was someone trying to convince him to change the title and he replied saying, ''nah :)''. he also openly says joel enjoys the killing he does even though he has never seemed to. and like you said, the surgeon's perspective part was fucking ridiculous, you mentioned all the points necessary.

[@masterzombie161]

DevC for real I hate people who think their high and mighty because they got subscribers and willing to strike anyone who has a different opinion. I believe we’ve been more than fair to criticize the game not for its agenda pushing or it’s contradictory gameplay and story. We are mad because nothing in the first game mattered our characters were just pawns for this mediocre story that has been done and done better. Kill bill John wick Fucking Spider man 3 It’s ludicrous to think that we are the problem when this game out right lied to us and ruined the franchise with this insult of a sequel.

[@junior2sdca]

I'm no Trump supporter. And actually found this particular review rather bad. You can clearly tell the guy in this video is dripping with bigotry and that was a turn off and why I couldn't finish the video. But many reviewers are saying the game is bad and not for bigoted reasons like this dude. So many are decrying the plot. And from what I gathered from the plot, no way in hell I'm buying or wasting my time playing this game. The plot is a jumbled mess. And pacing is a repeated criticism. I couldn't care less about the preachy aspects of the game. That has become norm in most shows and I'm intelligent enough to look past that stuff. But when you disrespect one of the main characters from the first one...someome you took so much time to develop. All to posit a tired message that revenge is bad? Yeah I'll pass on that. And then you don't even get the gratification of getting revenge on Abbey? Yeah no. I saw plenty enough to know myself and I am not going to put myself through something that I know will piss me off. Has 0 to with my political leaning and more to do with i appreciate a well written story. LoU was that. Clearly, LoU2 is not.

Last time that happened someone told me to watch this movie with great acting about a kid growing up and it showing the various phases of his life etc.. Then I start watching it and realize the movie is actually about two young boys who grow up and realize they are gay for each other.

Simple, they left the company. Bruce Straley was game director of the first game and kept everything even kilter with the story in relations to the game design. At the time, Amy Henning and Naughty Dog had a writers room, that was able to go through and vet the scripts before it went into production. That's why the first one ended up being a classic. It took a village to make that game into a reality. TLOU2 is solely Druckmann's baby with a bunch of yes people around him within the Narrative Lead role and 2 other credited writers.

We have to remember Naughty Dog had like a 70% employee turnover from the last game and it got so bad that they had to use people that worked in television. Bruce Straley quit or was pushed out and then Neil Druckmann pushed out Amy Hennig who is the amazing writer for so many top tier games and possibly did the writing or had influence on the flashback scenes that's why they were the best part of game. There are many that have had their ideas and work used with no credit. Neil replaced Amy with a writer that only wrote a couple episodes of Westworld. Remember Neil was just the Creative Director of the first game but Bruce Straley directed and Amy Hennig had influence (although no TLOU credit) as did a few others on the first game and Uncharted 1-3 but Now Neil had full control and "cancelled" anyone that disagreed with him or questioned his ideas.

[@Ericsonzaparita]

Spoiler warning: I was so excited for this game, the trailers at E3 had me 100% hyped up for this games release. I even had a daily reminder that I was so and so amount of days till it was released. I also posted a countdown 10 days in advance for the game. I trusted this games dev's, Neil, and everyone who took part in making this game. I even preordered the Ellie collection and paid full price up front. I heard the leaks came out so I avoided the internet like the plague. To say I was excited for the game was a fucking understatement. When I finally got my hands on the game I played it with an open mind as Neil druckmann said to do. I completely finished the game but by the end of it, I felt like I was the one someone beat with a golf club, spat on me and ran away with all my money. I was beyond disappointed in the story for a game that's story driven. Not because of the reason you think. Who cares if Abby gets killed or lives to see another day, it's how the story felt in my opinion like a bad fanfiction. Like someone else who didn't have a grasp on the characters from the first game wrote the story. Lot of things that happened seemed so out of character (except for ellie being a lesbian. We knew that from the DLC and I'm happy they kept true to that.) I have multiple but here's an example: Some people say it's Joel trying to be a better person and turn a new leaf. Him becoming a softie because of Ellie, but I'm pretty sure in reality he would've been extremely cautious. He was always cautious even from the start of the first game. He wouldn't even help a family with a child for crying out loud and then in part 2 he suddenly trusts a gang of people they don't know in a post apocalyptic world he had to kill to survive for 20+ years. Really!?! Same with Tommy, in the first game he had his gun pointed at his brother and Ellie when they came up to the gate. Honestly they could've killed Joel from the very start of the second game I wouldn't have cared. I would've been sad of course, but at least make it believable. Not to mention the bait and switch bs from the trailer to make it seem like he has a bigger role in the game. The story felt so unrealistic, dragged out, and rushed. Even though I feel that way I still tell people to play the game for themselves so they have their own opinions on the game. I let my friends who want to give it a try borrow my copy as well. I definitely wont be playing it again though. Now the gameplay was fun I'll admit. I enjoyed the boss you fight while playing as abby called the Rat King. 10/10. I'm happy that after I finished the game I can go back to that boss fight and fight him again too. That was my highlight of the game. Beat it my first try on survival mode. So even though I can't return the game I can still fight that thing. The graphics were very well done. I found myself gawking at the clickers, Bloaters, rat king and the Shamblers and the fine detail. I'm an art geek who loves creepy shit. I watch horror movies in awe of certain details and artistically comment about how the creepy creatures look. That's just a strange quirk I have. The designers put more detail in this games overall appearance and its characters. I have the character models of the clickers, Bloaters, rat king, and Shamblers and I just fucking love them. I could literally talk for hours about each and every single detail that I love about the infected in this game. They're so cool. I'm a simple girl. I wish I could play a shooter game in first person against the infected from this game and pretend this one never happened. The positive parts don't outweigh the horrible story.

Hoping that's true for Ghost of Tsushima. Definitely liked the filter options that make the game look like a classic black and white Samurai film. Apparently, the game will be challenging too as both the player and enemies can kill each other rather quickly. Can already hear the same sites who trashed Spongebob Rehydrated, trashing Ghost of Tsushima for being too difficult. Kojima Productions Facebook page also apparently did a sick burn on a Naughty Dog fan boy.

This game is garbage imo. I could have written a better story, drunk, and blindfolded. You know how you make it better? For one, don't kill Joel so damn early, make Abby actually likable, and make us care for her. That way, when she does kill Joel, there may be some conflict with the player. No, she will never be as cool as Joel, but at least the time spent with her would have helped a lot. They did it for sheer shock value, but gained nothing. They would have benefited a lot more if they killed Joel at the end of the game, and made a likable Abby.

Without any advertisement or promotion, the business expects the consumer to 'buy' this new product. The consumer is not happy with this change. The consumer will be outraged because they want their favourite 'product' back. The consumer vows to never shop at that business again and will tell their friends to never shop at that business again. And basically that is how it all works.

The part people forget when they compare Elie to Abby is Abby is enjoying The killing and Ellie is Driven by Revenge , example Ellie regrets killing a pregnant woman as Abby is Excited at the part of killing a pregnant woman when Ellie tell's her Dina's pregnant, imo Abby is a Psycho and impossible to identify with or like even if you did forgive her for Joel's death

[@RagnarokMic]

Not to justify the action itself, as it was objectively wrong...but Abby didn't know the circumstance of Mel's death, just that her pregnant friend was murdered. In a blind rage she was ready to exact the same pain on the party responsible. Wasn't excitement, it was vengeance.

[@lingricen8077]

Eh? Abby is LITERALLY acting on revenge xD xD jesus chrisr you make us all look bad when you make stupid arguments like this.

[@IvanGarcia-xy7bf]

@@lingricen8077 hahaha boy are you late to the game any way the point of comment was that flew right over your Head is that they are and where both put in the same situation but Abby is a steroids driven monster that I'll kill em all no regrets and Ellie is just mainly after one person and doesn't want to Kill the others but has to anyway I'm done with this trash fire of a game we all have moved to better games like spider man and baldur's gate 3 and Phantom Liberty an a bunch of others but hey if you want to beat a dead horse go ahead and play that game we dont care! 😂

“Ellie’s not as fun in this one. She’s all deadpan.” I should make more jokes after seeing my dad’s head get bashed in

[@xXDuskStarSkyressXx]

The flashback scenes brought back Ellie’s personality which I really liked. I hated the depressing undertone of how Joel’s death destroyed her emotionally. She isn’t the same character- emotion being one of her losses on top of Dina, Joel, her son she was raising, her home. And she ended up alone. I don’t know how much more depressing this game could’ve gotten.

[@strtfghtr88]

Even before his death, she's super flat and unlikeable and a bitch to everyone

[@dorkangel1076]

Valkyrie Serpents Same with Dina. At the start of the game she's a fun joking around person and a risk taker. By the end she's not. She really calmed down. The glimpse of light are two clues to the possibility of a happier ending are Ellie is wearing Dina's bracelet again at the farm and the scene of the boat at the end is the island where the fireflies are*. (*depending on how you feel about Abby and Lev)

Anyone who really enjoyed this game and got a kick out of it, I highly recommend, putting a straitjacket on them and isolating them from sane people. As well as unstable neil duckmann.

[@rageintothelight]

The sex scene is so inappropriate and i would love to hear neil explain why that just had to be in it. Also i feel sorry for the motion capture actors to perform that!!

[@adamsultana8380]

Lol, ya that scene was too random and not needed. I felt bad for Owen though, I genuinely liked his character and thought he deserved more than how he died.

[@smakfu1375]

This video has aged like the finest Bordeaux. I never played this game because I hope Sony is destroyed by Godzilla (I have my reasons), but man is this some comedy gold.

[@disc314]

I returned the game. Once you start as Abby the game gets so bad and boring after the ending,it's disgraceful.

[@ghostofsilence2697]

Wait they actually allow returns for that game now?

[@foran43]

U returned the game as soon as u start playing as Abby but say the game gets bad. How would u know if u never played the Abby part

[@foran43]

@GL Dave yeah but to say the game gets bad playing half of it before he plays as Abby. It's the Abby part that people don't like so it doesn't make sense. Apart from Joel dying people love the part where u are ellie Doesn't give the Abby part a chance. Guy didn't bring anything back he's looking for likes and jumping on the bandwagon

[@kash_1085]

foran43 I think what he meant is that after that part everything goes down hill. His sentence wasn’t properly punctuated or worded so it looked like he said something else. Either way the game is shit.

I love how IGN gave it a 10/10 but gave the new spongebob game a 5/10

[@drd2121]

aydin wohlgemuth that’s because the new Sponge-bob Game was trash and TLOU2 was amazing. Don’t correct me, because Neil Druckman recently said that the game was good.

[@The1stDuhZeez]

@@drd2121 Yeah that's why. I'm sure it's not because Spongebob isn't woke enough or anything.

[@daykon6843]

There’s one mistake you made and that’s that there are fireflies and they really did contact Abby because in the new main menu it shows the Catalina Casino, hinting that her and lev made it to the fireflies.

[@drd2121]

DAY KON I was confused. Confused that the rattlers intercepted their radio call? I didn’t think that was the case.

[@daykon6843]

Dr D I thought the same, until I looked a bit into the details. But ya the fireflies are definitely still around and Abby and lev made it to Catalina

Why has this video just NOW popped up? I was looking for someone would give this kind of review when that godforsaken game and niel shithead killed both uncharted 4 and tlou 2. I am legitimately convinced they broke the combat in uncharted 4 so that black chick can beat nate without a god tier player countering her attacks
