Last of Us 2 Breaks Records Despite Hate

Last of Us II isn't bad. It's just immensely overrated and when the story is weaker than the first game's, that's not a great thing. Particularly when the game's, like, 70% story.

@LocoChocoSoda Or, you know, if in a story-driven game the story is trash, then the game is trash. I played it, I rate it about a 3 based on the story being horrible and there being no significant upgrade to the combat systems. Yes, its a pretty game, but holy hell, the gunplay is terrible.

I literally never do this, but did he say furor? they meant fervor, right? cuz they did mention 4chan.

@glassquirrel furor is "an outbreak of public anger or excitement" so it still fits

Honestly, I am enjoying the game so far, the gamplay is smooth and fun and the visuals are gorgeous. However, I do have some complaints about the story, namely the choice to switch perspective halfway through to a character that I despise (and that the story, up to this point, wants you to despise) We need to stop looking at sales numbers as proof that a game was well received, because that's bullshit. If I buy a game and I don't like it, I still bought it, it just means I probably wont buy the next one. We'll need to wait until they put out a part 3 (if they even do) to be able to use sales numbers as a reference here.

@Thorne17 I know hundreds and hundreds of people who braved the pandemic to sell their cop to gamestop and gamestops struggling to sell copies.. Everyone including the reviewers are so desperate to make it look like we we're all right. Like they avoid telling you the actual number of psychical sales from here, and its abysmal for a AAA game in 2020.. but its also another example of why its inevitable to fail.. Theres no heart.

I tried starting the first one about 7 times. Kept hitting a wall. I’m 10 hours into this game and I have to say it’s so much better that you truly feel you are playing one of the greatest games you’ve ever played. Argue me.

If you like the gameplay from the last of us, and don’t care at all about story, then I would highly recommend playing the last of us 2, I thought it was a very fun experience. However, if story is important to you, then you should probably skip this one.

it's weird that almost all the negative professional reviews for the game are not reviews that are counted by Metacritic. You'd think they'd have come up with a solution for unscored reviews by now.

Hardly people losing their minds because the games another generic on rails adventure. Its closer to a 65/100.. They should have put more money in to script writing and less consulting fees to Anita Sarcuntseeian.. They literally sold less copies than Vanoss gets people to watch a 20 year old game on a daily basis. Sony will do anything to make it seem like the internet is wrong and save Drunkmans life.
