Oh believe me, I agree. It's the lowest of low storylines. The problem is the fanbase and critics thinking it's groundbreaking lol
I wouldn't say its the greatest story ever, but I do appreciate the effort made in telling it -its very detailed and accomplished with some truly standout sequences. Same deal with it as a pure example of gameplay, I enjoyed my time playing it but I would never say ND's "house style" represents to me the pinnacle of contemporary game design.
It is, in my considered opinion, a very high-quality piece of work. The sheer amount of effort that has undeniably been poured into every aspect justifies it as being a valid GOTY contender. That it isn't an emotional crowd pleaser like the first game should not in my view stand against it, because evidently that's not the reaction Druckmann and co were looking to elicit.
It does what it sets out to do bloody well, and while I understand not everyone will want to "buy" what its selling, I genuinely cannot and will not fault it for that.
