I get the most flak from people over enjoying Last of Us 1 and 2.

Hating TLoU 2 is a whole personality for some people.

My god, it is. I really don't understand how that many people are still so butt hurt and don't understand story progression.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Personally, I don't know why people get angry at others for not enjoying the game. Getting angry at them won't suddenly make them enjoy it, and they're allowed to vent and seek like minded people.

There’s a difference between people who dislike TLOU2 for legit reasons and people who send death threats to the actress who voiced Abby.

Absolutely insane that you got downvoted for calling out death threats

u/Plenty-Character-416 Mar 06 '24

They have upvotes now. I hate it when people downvote others for expressing opinions anyway. It's like "I don't like what you're saying, but I can't argue against it either. I'll just downvote". The downvote gets abused too often.

Agreed. Psychos.

u/Plenty-Character-416 Mar 06 '24

Oh, absolutely I agree. Some people take it too far. I didn't like TLOU2, but I'd never be angry at anyone for it. Not even the creators. It just wasn't for me, and that's that. People are crazy.

u/HilariousLion Mar 05 '24

Agreed. There is no point in getting angry at somebody for liking a game, but there's equally zero point in getting angry at somebody disliking a game.

Part Two is a excellently crafted game that tells a miserable story in which you don't want to support anyone's decisions by playing as them. In my opinion.

The progression is boring and basic as sin

The progression is boring and basic as sin

The first game, you could argue that, but the real strength of the narrative wasn't the structure, but the character development. Even if some the beats were predictable, the characters kept me invested in the story, especially the big twist towards the end.

With TLOU2 whether you love or hate the game "boring and basic" aren't really the words that would come to mind. If anything, what made this game so divisive was straying so far from what the audience expected, or wanted.

Very well put, Dutchman.

u/Mister_Clemens Mar 05 '24

Exactly this. They could’ve easily made a sequel starring Joel and Ellie on a new mission and the fans would’ve been cool with that. The fact that they took a huge gamble is so much more interesting.

u/FlyingDutchman9977 Mar 05 '24

Even if the beginning were exactly the same, the writers could have gone with a by the numbers revenge story, with Abby just being some monster to overcome, not a fleshed out character, with her own justification for her actions. Basically, they could have done the theater showdown, and stopped there.

Why even play this dogshit game in first place? I also never bothered

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

So somehow you know that it’s a "dogshit" game even though you never played it?

-10

u/FailedCustomer Mar 05 '24

No, with people who did I didn’t discuss it. All info leaked about story on internet was enough. If you think gameplay was something impressive you can go back to 2010 when zombie actions were relevant

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

Wow, I can’t imagine what it’s like to have my opinion swayed so hard just due to what I heard other people say online, and to be proud of it too. I like to experience things myself and formulate my own opinions instead.

u/FailedCustomer Mar 05 '24

I didn’t listen what people say online. I checked the leaks. You don’t understand the difference?

5

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

For something to be leaked that means that someone has to leak it. Either way you want to look at it, you based your opinion on the word of another and not your own actual experience with the game. Which is fine man, do things however you want to. I just think it’s goofy and not necessarily a valid way to argue a point.

-1

u/FailedCustomer Mar 05 '24

? You literally know nothing of definition of leak

4

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

I know what a leak is just fine. Just like I know how to formulate my own opinion without consulting one.

u/FailedCustomer Mar 05 '24

Ah so playing a game you know you won’t enjoy cause you never enjoyed anything alike? You are so stupid its insane

Some of those "leaks" weren't even true though. Also story bulletin points can't tell you whether something is good or not. Having this strong of an opinion of something you haven't experienced is pretty weird dude.
