Have you folks played "The Last Of Us Part II" yet?

I managed to avoid spoilers and all the backlash online to form my own opinion. I enjoyed it for what it was. What an emotional journey...what did y'all think of it?

I'd encourage you to use spoiler tags for those who haven't played or finished it yet.

Last of Us in my opinion is the most overrated game of all time.

I struggled to finish the original, not because it was hard, but because it was hardly a game.
It's a good movie, and imo, shouldve just been a film. As a game it's incredibly boring. I don't know if Last of Us 2 improved on the gameplay to make it more engaging but I doubt it.

I played it. Everything it aims to do it does well but everything it does should never have been done

Yeah, I liked it, I think it was cool that they took a lot of risks and did some nontraditional things.

I heard Abby swings her big dick around to kill Ellie.

Almost at the end I think.

Gameplay has been great but the story has been pretty low impact compared to the first one.

Let us proceed.....

Yeah they took some risks and I appreciate that. They mostly didn't work though. Jumping from Ellie to Abby and back was annoying. We were invested in Ellie/Joel from the first game so.....why....?

The stakes were way too low. Part 1 was about getting Ellie across the country to help find a cure. This was about......revenge. OK. Seems like a Walking Dead storyline where they've run out of things so we spend a season doing "how the world currently works" which is fine as I love character building but jumping back and forth between protagonists defeated the purpose.

I dunno. The game play itself was fine as it was more of part 1 which was great. Just don't feel very satisfied or rewarded after playing through.

SPOILER: show
Yeah they pretty much dropped the idea of finding a cure. Maybe there will be a third, I don't know. I liked moving away from Ellie and Joel, I mean, they had their game, if you can't surpass the standard you set then you have to redefine the standard. Obviously this was gonna piss off manchild gamers but I think it's cool when developers take risks and do things different. I also liked being forced to see things from Abby's perspective, I came to like her when she turned on the Wolves but I found everyone else in the Wolves less than endearing. The message about violence is somewhat open to interpretation, I felt like they were making a statement about what's normal in video games, insofar as all the random senseless violence you take part in and then don't really have to think about, which is really apparent in Uncharted, Naughty Dog's other big IP. Like they just picked one random NPC you killed in the first game and gave him a whole backstory as a way to say "here, this is what violence does." If you take it as "violence begets violence" then yes that's true but that's not really much of a statement, if you take Ellie's ultimately rejecting to kill Abby when she had the chance as a statement of like anti-violence or something then that is a little jarring compared to all the random enemies she killed along the way. I don't much care for letting plot holes ruin my experience but I do think it would have been cool for them to shift the focus of the gameplay away from killing people, maybe with Ellie going through some sort of personal realization that maybe could have started with the killing of Joel. Plus there would still be plenty of infected to kill so the game could still have all the cool guns and shit. Idk

I agree with most of what you said there. I just can't drop my criticism at "now you see from Abby's perspective". That was cool and I liked it and all but that should have been an expansion ala Left Behind.
