Thankfully most reviewers got it right this time, despite it's intentionally divisive aspects.
It's a 10.

I hate the game. But its a great game.
I dont care who died. But I do care greatly who didnt die. It’s stupid.
The SJW agenda hate and the homophobic rants is all little boy shit. The valid criticism of this game, there is zero pay off in the end. Its a great story about hate, hate. hate, hate, hate, but then they dared mercy? Nah fuck that. Happy you liked it though.
Sure, they love it so much that People who werent informed now return the Game en masse after one day, when they get to the shit part.
Stores like JB Hi-Fi now refuse trade ins for last of us 2.
But hey, when the Game "Journalists" or rather, paid Political Activists all praise a game, while the Players who actualy have to pay money for it say its shit, i know which one i believe.

Sure, but that goes for saying the majority of people hate it as well.To be fair, nobody has played it the moment they have bought it. If there is a backlash over the next few weeks that will be more reliable.
I've been on Earth for a few decades now and I've never come face to face with any real woman that looks like this:You 'trust the opinion' of people that say things like "or a woman that looked like a real woman, " .... please, do tell, what does "a real woman" look like? (this is rhetorical).
I’ll preface this post with stating again this game is tip top in many ways, just not gameplay. Graphically it’s stunning, and the scene execution for hero asset cinematics is second to none. Without question. The only game I feel that is graphically superior is RDR2, and that’s because they push almost this level of detail but over a full world.
The story is personal preference. People hate it because it’s got lesbians, or because Joel dies, or because the actual lead character is a man (when she isn’t). That’s up to them. For me, I just hate the respect they have these characters, and while I actually side more with Abby than Ellie and Joel’s crew, I just feel the way this was all done was wrong. You don’t build up an amazing father figure like Joel that resonates with so many people in the first and then let him go out like a bitch. That screamed the sort of plot point you give a character when an actors decides he doesn’t want tk come back for series 2. It just felt bad.
But the gameplay? That’s an area that’s a hot topic.
See for me, the gameplay didn’t evolve, at all. And it was basic in the first one, and was the worst part of the package there too. You now have ropes, that all work the same way and essentially work like a slower ladder. They are used in some puzzles but the “puzzle” is so basic it can’t really be called one. And you have boats/horses, which... Well let’s be honest they consist of pushing forward.
And that’s your gameplay evolution form the first. There’s a jump button, but to be fair it’s not even used for anything, it’s the same as just having a context jump before.
The actual gameplay itself, and this is ME taking not a collective thought, it’s just shallow. 10 minute cutscene, walk forward for 10 minutes, and then shoot 4 guys. Repeat. That’s it. The actual way you battle in these encounters is aways the same... Go in quietly for as long as you can. Humans? Sneak. Infected? Sneak. Tank? Shoot it until it dies. This is all cemented in with very, very stiff control that is only second to a rockstar game, and really lose feeling aiming.
For me, the actual gameplay loop isn’t enough. There’s nothing incredible there. If you stick this gameplay in any graphical engine, would it still be enough?
So as I said, the visuals are a clear 10/10 and if you disagree sorry but from a technical standpoint you’re absolutely wrong.
The story is debatable but again for me, it’s like a 3 maybe? These characters just don’t hit home with me, I don’t care, I don’t feel. Compared to other games like RDR2 where the ending left me genuinely sad, or Ori where when that event happens at the end I was shocked... I just don’t feel for these people now. It’s the video game equivalent of when the stupid character does the stupid thing in a horror film. I’m just like “meh”. Not because of lesbians, or SJW. But because of just “meh”.
But for me, this isn’t a 10. It’s not. I’ve played better games this gen, easily, that will last in my mind longer.
Don’t get me wrong though, this Is a game I’ll be coming back to just to and it’s visual design. It’s absolutely top tits. But it’s GAME part of it isn’t even close to being the same quality, for me.
Yes, but here in Brazil I've seen evidence of organized fake bot Metacritic reviews by a certain Xbox fans group.Calling it an attack by salty Xbox fans doesn't make sense. By that logic, it should also have occured with other PS exclusives. This attack seems to be politically motivated by far right activisits rather than console wars.

Sales numbers show people love TLOU2.
Maybe you should prove otherwise.
Popular=Good?
Have you ever been to the gym?I've been on Earth for a few decades now and I've never come face to face with any real woman that looks like this:
They made her look even more like a man in the final game than in her initial reveal teaser:
Not what I said. But it's a strong indication based on TLOU1.Popular=Good?
Have you ever been to the gym?
Honest question.
He didn't say that, he's arguing whether or not people like it, not whether or not people liking it matters.
At my local gym, the only women that go don’t work out. They have their hair done, full on makeup, stand on their phones and chat to guys. I very, very rarely see a girl at the gym actually doing gym-like things. You know, work out and stuff.
It’s a bit sad really but there we go...
Yes and I've never seen a woman that has the frame of a man in real life before. The only thing I can think of is Chyna from WWE:Have you ever been to the gym?
Honest question.
A lot of people liked pokemon Sword and Shield. Most people can agree that the game has huge problems.
What point are you making? Are you okay with argumentum ad populum or not?
Lol fair enough.At my local gym, the only women that go don’t work out. They have their hair done, full on makeup, stand on their phones and chat to guys. I very, very rarely see a girl at the gym actually doing gym-like things. You know, work out and stuff.

Guess that's proof enough already then, isn't it?Yes and I've never seen a woman that has the frame of a man in real life before. The only thing I can think of is Chyna from WWE:

I"m arguing that saying that the perfect scores are justified because a lot of people bought the game is non sense.
A thing can both be popular and bad.
Why do the perfect scores need any justification besides the written reviews backing them up?

....you mean just like a lot of guys that look like that too?Didn't she take a massiev amount of steroids to look like that?
Yeah but I've never met a woman that looks like that in real life. Like a regular woman with a regullar job that isn't a bodybuilder/MMA fighter/Wrestler, etc...Lol fair enough.
Guess that's proof enough already then, isn't it?
Or we could use Rhonda Rousey or whatever.
....you mean just like a lot of guys that look like that too?
And lots of testosterone I'd imagine.Didn't she take a massiev amount of steroids to look like that?

lol that's a complete lie and you know it.
Point is that woman and men have a broad range of body types, whether chemically enhanced or not, and to include 'woman that looks like a real woman' in your (not YOUR) commentary if fucked up.Ok and? Point is its not a natural look for a woman and it required drugs to get that frame and build.
Watching reviews from reviewers I trust has me highly suspicious of this games Metacritic score. If I knew nothing of TLOU2 and just played the first, it would make since, I and wouldn't blink twice at how high the critics score is, but after watching reviews and listening to the opinions of people who have finished the game, most don't seem to think this is a 10, 9 or even an 8/10.
It's stuff like this that just compounds the stroeotyoe that the mainstream game review sites are just thrid party marketing wings for big game studios. How many people just saw the score, bought the game and feel mislead (probably not a lot with how big TLOU 1 was, but still). It's sad how these sites just sell their credibility.
I'm just thankful for the smaller reviewer that can afford to give a balanced perspective and still have integrity.
Ok and? Point is its not a natural look for a woman and it required drugs to get that frame and build.
I never said they didnt. It was a simple question. If you are taking anything to chemically enhance your body type then its not natural. Thats it. Stop trying to turn this into something I didn't say.Point is that woman and men have a broad range of body types, whether chemically enhanced or not, and to include 'woman that looks like a real woman' in your (not YOUR) commentary if fucked up.
so are all female athletes drugged?
the problem is that she is stronger than you.
analysis fakes in metacritic already flopped then? because if now they saw that it was no use, they need to change the narrative to "everyone gave 10/10 for fear of Sony"
Do the 0s need justifications?
Sure....but arent you the same, just reverse ?I am playing and it is the GOTY. Maybe Ghost or Cyberpunk can steal it.... But so far it is the GOTY!
I guess some people just can't handle it Sony, potentially, winning another GOTY.
Haters right now:

The fuck are you on about?
I specifically made the point that the word your was (not YOUR). So...I didn't. Cheers. My point started with the concept of 'real woman'...by pointing out that men take drugs to look like that too I was further positing that there is no 'real woman' look and perhaps the fellow that is listening to reviews that include such statements should question the veracity of the complete review when the writer is unaware of what 'real woman' look like....I never said they didnt. It was a simple question. If you are taking anything to chemically enhance your body type then its not natural. Thats it. Stop trying to turn this into something I didn't say.
Pretty much 80% of lesbian women looks like a man.Yeah but I've never met a woman that looks like that in real life. Like a regular woman with a regullar job that isn't a bodybuilder/MMA fighter/Wrestler, etc...
what's the difficulty?
Yep.Sure....but arent you the same, just reverse ?
