One side of the internet acted like it was some sin against gaming.

The other side acts like it's the second coming of Video Game Christ.

I played it and I didn't really think it was anything special.

Also Abby was way more interesting than Ellie.

The first game was really solid, didn't you like that one? The 2nd is basically that game but improved I suppose. Its like The Last of Us 1.5 to me. Just seemed like more of the first game which isn't a bad thing.

Basically everything about the first one but better. The gameplay and level design are much improved, and the story hits way harder

The fleshing out of both sides of the story is one of the most important elements. At the beginning, you want to hate Abby. But by the end, you want to hate Ellie.

If you really wanted a hot take I feel you should have said Abby is better than Joel.

Not really interested in the series at all since it's Neil Druckmann's woke vanity projects because games aren't about having fun anymore

I dislike the first one, story was kinda good but I thought it was dragged down by piss-poor gameplay.

That part in the sewer was awful

Yeah, TLOU1 wasn't even that great. Hardly even felt like a video game. The gameplay was really bad.

People used to make fun of Metal Gear Solid 4 for being too much like a movie, but at least it had great gameplay in between the hour long cutscenes.

The game pretty much just filled out a checklist for woke brownie points. I always question how good a game or movie actually is if the first response to any criticism is that the person is bigoted or sexist. This is basically what happened with the recent Charlie's Angels and the female Ghostbusters movie. Now I'm not saying TLoU2 was a disaster like those two, but it's nowhere near the gaming masterpiece people keep trying to claim it is.

The first game was alright, I thought the ending was perfect. I have absolutely no interest on what happened next to those characters. The second game should have focused on a completely different story, but of course people would have bitched and moaned about it.

First game was a "find a ladder" simulator there really wasn't much to improve on. It's a sin to hate on the Last Of Us series. No one is allowed to criticize Last Of Us without being called racist, transphobic, and anti-semantic.

I felt the same way after the ending of the first game, but the second one ended up being very good.

well when most of the criticism is OMG WOKE LESBIAN/TRANS/JEWISH PROPAGANDA SJW POLITICS in a 100% apolitical game, its not that surprising

part ii is literally the most perfect sequel ever. everything that happens in part ii is a direct result of the choices the characters made in part i. I thought the same thing after the first game came out but they really did the first one justice.

I totally get why people dont like it though. If you dont like linear, story-focused games, it probably isnt for you. They did really step it up in the gameplay department for part ii though. I wish there were more rope puzzles.

the thing I dont get is people complaining about the gameplay of either game. I played through the first one several times to get all the trophies and played through the grounded difficulty, and the game was fun as hell

Not really interest in playing it. I really couldn't get into the first game either though I recognize it was a well crafted game that accomplished what it wanted to. It seems the same more-or-less applies to part 2.

It just kinda sucks that so much people are not interested in real good-faith criticism considering that so much of what's thrown at the game just comes off as impotent rage...

The way the first one ended, I would have been pissed if we never got a follow up. Leaving so much hanging in the air like that...

The internet was up in arms ever since the plot leaked. There's still a lot of topics on the board that get triple digit posts from arguments lol
