Ah yes, the cuckservative crowd displayinging their mind-numbing idiocy itt.

Free Speech! But no games with trannies! I can shout nigger, muh freedumbs, but I'll be goddamned if some fictional lesbian strongman can be a poorly written character in a game I am neither interested in playing nor ever intended to buy.

What a bunch of fucking butthurt authoritarian losers you are. I tried playing the original TLoU on my PS3, it's still collecting dust because I need more action in my walking simulator. Never gave it a second thought.

You fucking snowflakes, the hypocrisy is staggering and ignorance is off the charts or willful. Congratulations LARPers, the writing you have for your own character is every bit as convoluted and contradictory as Abby.
I don't know where you got the idea that cuckservatives support free speech, lol.

There was a review by Jeremy Jahns where he said the plot of this game was like :" If the Death Star workers restaurant clerk had a daughter and she decided to kill Luke Skywalker by asking for the name Luke through the whole galaxy." Sure, as convoluted as the first game... thanks, Neil.

Remember this game tried to tell a revenge bad story in an era where Metal gear solid V exists. As far as that game is unfinished, the way it tells the story is way more deeper that TLOU2 (Basically it writes out the entire Moby dick story). But hey, that game has bikinis chicks on it, so it must be degenerated weaboo trash!

Still haven't finished the game (have to wait until late at night when the kids are in bed to play) but have got to the Abby storyline. The character is actually quite likeable in flashbacks but the butch T2 Sarah Connor type you play for most of the game is an abomination. No idea why if they wanted a muscle-bound character to pull off all the physical feats they have her doing why they just didn't go for a man. It's like Chyna from the WWF is running around post-Apocalyptic Seatle. Mind you for the first half of the game you run around as a slight underfed lesbian capable of defeating large men in melee combat singlehandedly, so politics were obviously a bigger concern than realism.

Gameplay is not terrible and some of the weapons are fun to use (explosion splatter is great). The fact that the game pauses and makes you click on a button to torture someone and progress the storyline like you actually have some kind of choice is painful though.

look put trannies, homos, pedos and every kind of sexual deviancy in a game , but put warning on the cover that is inappropriate for children and for whoever has its moral compass still right. btw i'm very intolerant when it comes to propaganda. it the sole purpose of a content is to influence and twist the minds of whoever consume that content, that content should be abolished because its dangerous. we see lgbtqp message inserted everywhere today, even damn disney is supporting and producing such content. tolerance must have a limit or intolerant groups gain power thanks to manipulation like this

Look at this dumb fucking pseudo-intellectual thinking that just because the "game" is subverting expectations for the sake of subversion and leading a LINEAR story only to fizzle out at the end makes it somehow a thing for "grown-ups". There's nothing "mature" about this, just because something makes you feel sad doesn't mean it's mature.
Compare it to PS:T where at the end TNO dies and goes to hell (tee-hee, spoilers, but an ending way more depressing than tlou 2's flaccid dick). The difference being the game clearly lead up to that point and the player (provided he has an IQ above amoeba's level) starts to piece together that the ending won't be flowers and sunshine really early.
What cuckmannnnn did was make a murder gore porn for himself and his fellow degenerates with an unsatisfying ending and tardos think that's somehow very mature and oh how video games should take note. "Revenge bad" badly played out on the bodies of hundreds on nobodies.

Can you fucking imagine the end of Max Payne, Max walking over to the big bad bitch, hugging her tightly and softly whispering "I forgive you"?

Yeah, 28 years old soy boy is sooooo much more mature than 18 years old soy boy...

By 28 you should already be way along the way to growing out of your young adult edgelord phase (thinking misery porn is deep and mature, etc). If that guy is only entering that phase at 28 then yikes, as they say, that is some serious case of retarded development.

Alright, finished this about a week ago. Here's my thoughts.

First off, I loved the first game, and was pretty eagerly awaiting this one. I decided early on to play it as blind as possible - no reviews, no impressions, nothing about the game. I of course heard about the leaks, but avoided them obviously (btw, fuck you OP for that thread title change).

End verdict: maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10. Ultimately I'm still glad I played it, and will still probably play a Last of Us 3 if it ever gets made, but the final result was a very draining and disappointing experience, and not just for the obvious reasons.

Having had time to think about it since finishing it, I'm actually okay with the story decisions and everything that "happens" in the game. I'm not one of those gamers who thinks it "disrespected" the first game by killing Joel, or anything like that. But what I absolutely HATED was being forced to play as Abby during the middle of a cliffhanger where she's literally holding a gun to Ellie's head. Cliffhangers are terrible devices; I hate how so many storytellers use them as a crutch, and how some people actually think they may even make a story better by increasing tension (they do the opposite), but this one is even worse because the person you're now being forced to play as is the one who is literally threatening our protagonist in said cliffhanger, as well as the person who brutally kills Joel in the beginning.

I know how Neil Druckmann wanted to make a game about empathy and playing from two different (opposing) perspectives (I read his interview on that), and I get that to some degree. But the way he ended up doing it was the single worst way possible. A much better way would have been to have the two storylines alternate more frequently from the beginning. This might have needed some story juggling, but it definitely could have been done, and cliffhangers could have been avoided. Would it still require a leap of faith in order to play as Abby again for the first time after she's killed Joel? Sure, but not nearly to the same degree, and you wouldn't feel like you're simply "catching up" during the Abby sections (which is what it always feels like when you have fractured timelines induced by cliffhangers). Plus a lot of tension could have added by having this approach - wondering when the two might cross paths, who will find Tommy first, if Ellie is going to end up killing the boy that Abby rescues, etc. They could have done a lot of "teases" by doing this. Having thought about this "game that could have been" just makes it more disappointing.

As it was, I just ended up wanting to get through the Abby sections as quickly as possible in order to get back to the cliffhanger moment. So I played in a way I hadn't done with the Ellie sections and just rushed through it as much as I could; this of course wasn't really feasible on Hard because I would be under-supplied, so I switched the game to Easy and kept it that way until I got back to playing Ellie. While some parts of Abby's storyline were still interesting, particularly the parts regarding the conflict between the two factions, I wasn't invested as much as I could have been. Mostly I just wanted to get back to the cliffhanger moment and then continue from there. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the game is mostly over after that part is finally resolved - what follows feels more like an epilogue than anything else. It was nice to finally be back to playing as Ellie, and I feel like the ending actually has a hopeful element to it, but that whole forced switch at the worst moment possible really soured the whole experience for me. I just couldn't enjoy it as much anymore. I HAD been enjoying it up until that part, about as much as I had enjoyed the first game.

So the end result is very mixed experience. Can't say I hated it, but can't say I liked it either.

Gameplay-wise there's not much to talk about. It's pretty much the same as the first one in that regard, so if you liked the gameplay in that one (I did) you shouldn't have any problems with that department in this one.

Alright, finished this about a week ago. Here's my thoughts.

TLoU 2 has heart. It has soul. If TLoU 2 sang the Blues, you'd want to listen. This is a game made by people who genuinely loved what they were doing, and it's clear that rather than asking themselves "How can we best serve the market?", the developers instead asked "Wouldn't it be awesome if . . .?" It has all the enthusiasm and the quirkiness (for better and worse) of an indie game, but the production values that only a multi-million dollar budget will buy

TLDR version.

Imagine the scene where Abby beats the ever loving shit out of Ellie and then almost cuts open her pregnant girlfriend's throat, but with a big muscly dude. Nobody would be able to feel even the tiniest bit of sympathy for Abe.

Sadly, Abby sucks and is a terrible person so nobody's able to sympathize with her anyway.
