Muchas personas molestas porque no sucede lo que ellos esperan que suceda, sin embargo tiene temas más profundos de amor, humanidad, odio, amistad, sociedad. Comprender todo en un "No paso lo que yo quería que sucediera" es meramente infantil e inmaduro.… Expand

Or more likely organized review-bombing/trolling?

    But either way, let’s have a conversation about the difference between “bad” and “I didn’t get what I wanted.”

    “Bad” is clunky controls. “Bad” is repetitive environments with little-to-no detail. “Bad” is terrible graphics and uninspired world-design. “Bad” is awkward voice acting. “Bad” is forced dialogue. “Bad” is no effort being put into a game.

    “Bad” is NOT: this character died but I wanted them to live! “Bad” is NOT: you play as female characters the whole game and that’s stupid! “Bad” is NOT: there are gay characters and that makes me feel weird! “Bad” is NOT: things didn’t go the way I expected!!! 0/10

    Those “complaints” are the epitome of “I didn’t get what I wanted.” And that is fine. It sucks to be disappointed.

    But that does not make something “bad.” This game is simply fantastic. The world-design is beautiful and the environments are detailed and varied. The voice acting is alarmingly naturalistic and the writing is realistic and relatable. The story is compelling and the characters are incredibly engaging. During combat, the enemies respond to your choices organically and realistically.

    This is a game that Naughty Dog put a LOT of effort into. And I’m sorry it you “didn’t get what you wanted.” But.

    That’s a you problem.    … Expand

    It's a full game, with everything you need, people think that the history has to be like they want, and for that devaluate the rest of the game, they just need to appreciate the work made and enjoy, of course the game has little things and it's not perfect but not for that it deserves a 1 or a 0.

The Last of Us give you a lot different feelings, and can make you angry, sad, etc. But the story and the anti-revenge message would be more poweful if Ellie killed Abby in the ending and abandoned the girl in the boat, and after that returned to home without any friends, and wife, and family.

    As far as the LGBTQIA+ representation is concerned, I feel that it’s refreshing to see. I’m sorry that the protagonist doesn’t fit the Male Power Fantasy, but honestly, that is becoming old and tired. Clearly it speaks more about the player who is uncomfortable than it does about the quality of the game.

    Naughty Dog has given us something special. A piece of art that is not only forward thinking and progressive, but thought provoking. It holds a mirror up to parts of reality we choose to ignore because it’s easier to bury your head than face ugly truths. Please do not listen to all the negativity.

You almost feel present in the moment, like you are there, you feel what the characters are feeling.

    I can't find one reason to complain about the game (except maybe how unrealistic it can be, which isn't all that much considering it is a game with mushroom zombies in it) I've seen reviews where people have complained about there not being enough space to be explored, which isn't even true, and even if it were, no one seemed to have an issue with that when the first game was released, both games are linear by nature, they are games that tell a story, not a game about exploring every nook and cranny of a city.

This is a game with about violence, but also about humans with all the best and the worst that can come with it. Like human beings, this video game is complex and unpredictable (if you didn't read the spoilers of course).… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II

    The second game of the franchise The Last of Us Part II is a Masterpiece

    Why? Let me Explain

    We see the Death of a Character we love, like he meant nothing and everyone complained about that, but do you all realize that is deeper than we thought?
    Joel's Death show to us that he isn't a hero, not in Abby's eyes, and in Ellie's eyes he isn't a hero for sure either, he don't need a hero's death, because they wanted to Joel's death in the game, leave unfinished business for Ellie, she doesn't forgive him yet and saying all those stuff to him really get her, she feels guilty, she feels like the one person who loved her the most and did everything for her, is dead, and the only thing she thinks she is able to do, is go after revenge, and that way she is losing her human side, just like Abby, The Last of Us Part II show to us that Love can lift through it all, in the end, Ellie's love for Joel and realizing he isn't coming back and that she is alone, is a Heartbreaking scene and an amazing scene, the story was builded perfectly, The Last of Us Part II obviously wouldn't be like The Last of Us, for me it was bigger, and better, The Last of Us will always be in my heart, but The Last of Us Part II became my favorite game of all time until now    … Expand

    10 veriyorum, ama bence oyun 9.5 lik fakat insanlar oynamayıp düşük verdikleri için oyun puanı düşmüş. Şahsen oyunu bitirip güzel buldum bence abby ye biraz daha az yer verilse daha iyi olurdu.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of us 2 has great new game mechanics that make fighting enemies much more fun and unique and the play style mirrors that of the first last of us. However the story is DOG **** and no matter how much i enjoyed the gameplay,mechanics,graphics it does not do justice for how poorly this story was put together. 7 years too see joel killed off in the first hour or so and not even a meaningful death that's what hurts the most.
    gonna try n leave a 10 instead of a 3 too see if it will actually post the review and if u see its positive u will know it worked.

    Quite frankly some of the reviews on here are utterly absurd.

    This game represents the pinnacle of video gaming. Offering unparalleled, gut wrenching challenging gameplay coupled with beautiful graphics.

    Be in no doubt. This is the best video game ever made. Do not let the inaccurate reviews on here dissuade you. Thankyou Naughty Dog.

    El único problema se llama abby

    Creo que es el único juego donde se me a dificultado avanzar por culpa del protagonista, al momento de jugar con abby es una basura, intentan humanizar al personaje de cualquier forma, mi pregunta a es, ¿tanto les costaba hacer un personaje malo? Malo en su totalidad, cual es el gusto de humanizar al antagonista

The side characters are better than in the first game, because they act and talk more realistic. Overall are the characters as good as in the last of us or even a little better. One thing that could make the story not as good is what it’s about. It’s a brutal story about revenge and not love and then it’s harder to make it a beautiful story. But as far as I know, Naughty Dog wants us to question what Ellie and Joel did. And the game still has beautiful moments. I think the hate comes from many people that didn’t want a second game, but in my opinion, a continuation was needed. Overall I can say that The Last of Us had a better story, but the second part has better gameplay and the best graphics and animations I’ve ever seen. I never noticed something i didn’t like in part 2. It’s on a good way to become my favorite game of all time...
    And btw, this is my first ever review on metacritic, so I’m sorry if it’s a little confusing or so...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi, I just finished The Last Of Us Part II,

    And not 10/10 damn or 3/10 **** review bombing! And if you want to get it buy it for 40€ no more!

    Gameplay / Graphics (games made with hard difficulty) :
    Let's start with that, the gameplay is very good the sensations we have with Ellie ("TITLE"), are very good, the shooting sensations are pretty well managed, the fights with the infected are sometimes intense especially when you're going to face the boss (yes he's got one), it's going to give you a hard time.
    Fights with scar/wolf humans are very intense because the enemies know how to organize themselves very well and they will be ruthless with you, especially the scar.
    But in the penultimate third of the game, we don't know why the Wolves become dumb... sometimes they watch walls (WTF?), this part was rush during development? (and some small bugs seen here and there that will probably be fixed).

    The Graphics are beautiful Naughty Dogs manages their engines very well, especially the faces and expressions of the actors, superb (after that I prefer a little more Uncharted 4 in terms of graphics, a slap in the face. Maybe the sets?)

    Screenplay [BIG SPOIL NOW]:
    We meet Ellie and Joel and the others 4 years later in Jackson at camp, after the events of the first game. [Ellie knows the truth about what happened at the hospital and the fireflies at the end of the first and Joel has no regrets about what he did at that time.]

    Ellie goes on a routine patrol with Dina, everything is going great, they find a place to rest and do their business ;)
    But Jesse (a character we see more in the game), finds them with the information that Joel and Tommy still haven't come back so they go back to find them, but only Joel is captured with Tommy, and then what happened... Ellie wanting to save Joel in the place where he is, she finds herself trapped by Joel's kidnappers, stuck and beaten she is in front of Joel bloody almost dead, Abby (a very important character in the story) killed Joel in front of Ellie's eyes by revenge because her father was killed by Joel when he was going to operate Ellie 4 years ago (Abby's father was the surgeon). Then Ellie will lead her quest for revenge, in the direction of Seattle. (I made HUGE shortcuts)

    Although the basic scenario is rather classic in its treatment, it is very well written because we will live (obviously) Ellie's adventure during the 3 days in Seattle and will go back up the trail to Abby killing one by one those who captured Joel (followed by "flashbacks" between the days of the moments lived between Joel and Ellie in the past), we see Ellie falling little by little in the spiral of hate (I won't go into details play it or watch the movie version that will be on youtube soon to see it. )
    And that's where the surprise of the scenario comes in because we will also play Abby what she lived during the 3 days in Seattle or we will also understand her motivations that pushed her to do that (via "flashbacks" also cut between the days, besides we start with her the day her father died, it lasts anyway 2 good hours), she will also see during her adventure her friends die either by learning it, by seeing their corpses or by living it.

    In spite of my spoils I will not tell you certain passages of the game which is very important or essential, I also take care not to tell you the end which will divide you and which also divided me, but I understand.

    CONCLUSION:
    The game is a very good technical performance, it's beautiful and you don't get bored in front of the game, Abby is superbly well written, I wouldn't say more ;)
    I understand Ellie's motivations, the links she has and has had with Joel are very important, the game is sometimes sad, sometimes joyful (it plays a lot on the Nostalgia of the first one), and a lot of hatred it can divide people and it will, the end is what it is, it is very open but again it divides.
    And I understand that people can't understand it, but as Joel said: "I would have liked it to be different too, but that's the way it is."    … Expand

    На самом деле игра заслуживает 8/10, а не 10. Но хочется поддержать игру и защитить её от хейтеров. Если сюжет не оправдал чьих то ожиданий, это не значит, что он плохой.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
