I mean, I agree. I thought the gameplay was fun but the story is mentally exhausting with how constantly depressing it is.

I don't think there is anything wrong with using violence and dark themes to tell a story
Its just that TLOU2 was so dull and bland and shallow that it seemed lazy and disingenuous It would be like adding brutal gore into transformers and then claiming it's a masterpiece --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

I know that the brutality, enemy screams for their compatriots, etc. was supposed to at least make you think about the violence your character was committing on screen, but the combat and stealth were way too fun. --- The means of production should belong to the collective unconscious ...

It's a pretty good game with an amazing story, innovative and fantastic gameplay.

I'm only like 4 hours into TLOU2, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Haven't gotten to super dark places yet, but I hope most of the complaints I've heard about are actually just butthurt people using TLOU2 as an excuse to be like, misogynistic.

Honestly half the time I see criticism for this game it seriously boils down to "abby ugly" besides UR repeating that it's a bland / boring experience which is purely subjective. So it either will be or won't be good for you... like pretty much everything I guess lol. --- "There will be nothing to show that we were ever here... but stardust." - Pinbacker ...

I think most people who don't enjoy it have already realised that by now. Although the second half of the game turns some people off too. I thought the game got even better then personally. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

One of my favorite games of all time is Silent Hill 2...and TLOU2 is way too fucking depressing and gross for me. I think the reason is that it lacks mystery of any sort, it's just all horrific shit in your face constantly. Like...I saw a freaky pyramid-headed conjuration of the protagonist's mind fuck a pair of mannequin legs joined at the hip to another pair of mannequin legs until the animation left its' body (death?) and that my mind can handle, but Abby's sex scene was fucking traumatizingly cringe and every moment of the plot was the kind of shit you think of when you see that one pale faced cop that just walked out of a crime scene the true horrors of which you can only imagine that then proceeds to vomit and sob uncontrollably. I think the extra layer of "what the fuck is going on?" Silent Hill brings is both what makes those games actually scary (unlike TLOU2 besides Ground Zeroes just a little bit) and what makes the horrific imagery more "palatable".

I killed the dogs because they were dangerous and annoying. It was no different than killing dogs in any other game. I never once felt like I was being punished for playing the game. I never felt that way about Spec Ops The Line either. A video game can't make me feel bad.

A simple question, TC: why play something you clearly weren't in the mood for?
There are many, many different flavors of videogames. Some you may feel like playing some days and others simply are not something you're ever looking for. This is fine. What is not fine is whining about a game delivering the experience it promised to deliver. Do you complain about pokmon games being kid friendly? About strategy games requiring you to think? About horror movies being scary? ... Copied to Clipboard!
