The Last of Us: Part II

Like damn, this 30-hour game hasn't even been out for a day in most countries and y'all act like you finished it already

Yes this game has flawes. I think the game is too long and because of that the pacing suffers sometimes. I also disagree with some minor decisions that were made.

But you cannot deny how beautiful and engaging this game actually is. This game did something most games before have never actually touched upon and used its medium in a clever way. Trust me when I say in 5 to 10 years time, people will look back and say this game was severely misunderstood.

Most people get what this game was going for, they just don't want to except it (yet)....

I simply can't understand all the disappointed low reviews. I imagine it's people who don't like to think and simply want to point and shoot.

This game is a master class of storytelling, character creation, paradigm shifting... all wrapped in a beautiful shell. No other game had ever made me throw the control away because I simply couldn't decide which character to hurt. And that's the whole point: this game makes us question violence in games and the futility of violence in general as a response to conflict. If nothing else, just for that, it deserves every recognition in the world.

The way it introduces the different characters and makes you realise that your antagonist may be someone else's protagonist, is flawless.

The characters are full of life and truth. They're believable and 3D, not flat archetypes.

I could go on and on. And I genuinely feel sorry for those who feel disappointed by this game. I honestly believe they missed the whole point of it.

10/10.

I was skeptical. I actually put off the game because of all of the outrage. I was wrong to do that. This game is an experience unlike any other game you will ever play. The reason people hate it is also the same reason it is amazing. Give it a chance. Just like people hated Empire Strikes Back when it first released, I believe in 10 years this game will remembered for its greatness.

The writing is amazing, the characters engaging, the way violence is depicted is unlike any game I've played, and last but not least the story is memorable. If you were on the fence about this game, give it a shot with an open mind. You might just be like me and absolutely love it.

Story is not stupid. It is horribly sad. It develops around the theme of neverending violence, and how it destroys us in the end. A really needed perspective, a thing, that we all need to hear in todays world.

I have to say, that one of the best things is, that this story doesnt give a **** about you. It develops in its own way. Yes, at the end you might wish you didnt play it and just stick with ending of first part, but isn't it what life really is about? Us remebering the good old days? Horrified what might future do to us? And is it really up to us to stop that wheel of violence? Or are we just trapped inside its never ending cycle?

These and other thoughts I have during gameplay. So it is thought-provoking, which is great and beyond what ou expect from game story.

One star down for unnecessary double ending.

As for the graphics design, combat modes and atmosphere, it is totally fantastic. Totaly enjoyed it.

Well, sequel is great and was worth waiting. But I guess lots of people will think twice before wanting another sequel. But isn't it another great truth? Be happy with you have?
