E fazem isso com maestria, no jogo vc chora, fica nervoso, fica assustado, tem medo do q pode acontecer e te deixa ansioso sim pra uma sequência!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich finde das spiel wunderbar. Ich habe mir viele 0 Punkte Bewertungen durchgelesen und daraus konnte man ansich 3 Punkte sehr gut herauslösen. Einmal die Homosexualität, die Gewalt und das angeblich schlechte Storytelling und die Story selbst. Zu Punkt 1, was soll ich da sagen, einerseits war da echt viel sexistische scheiße bei aber abseits davon macht das Story und Gameplaymäßig überhauor keinen unterschied. Wäre Dina jetzt ein Mann, wär sie ja logischerweiße nicht schwanger aber man hötte bestimmt irgendne andere möglichkeit gehapt des die Person dann im Theater hätte bleiben müssen also gameplay mäßig isses echt kein Argument. Das einzige waa in der Story anders wäre, wäre dieses eine zwischen "Level" wo man mit Ellie, dem Kind und Dina im Haus wäre abee das Kind hat jetzt nicht soviel da ausgemacht, das war nur um der ihre jetztige Situation zu verdeutlichen. Emotional war das einzige was mich da besonders mitgenommen hat der name J.J weil ich mir für mich gesagt habe des siw uhn entweder nach Joel oder Jesse benannt haben. Zur Gewalt kann man nur sagen ja, das ist nunmal realistisch, Menschen sind grausam, vorallem in so harten Zeiten wie in dem Spiel. Das Spiel ist ja nicht ohne Grund FSK 18 und auserdem ist diese Brutalität auch ein wichtiges Mittel um die Atmosphäre dieser düsteren und brutalen Welt dazustellen. Desweiteren hat Joels tod, über den sich auch massiv beschwerd wurde, genau das erreicht was er sollte, er hat dem Spiel unglaublich viele emotionen der Spieler geschenkt was sich ja auch in den ganzen kritiken äußert, niemand hätte sich beschwerd wenns ihm egal wäre. Und diese Emotionen wurden auch immer in diesen flashbacks aufrechterhalten zusammen mit Ellies veränderung wo ich mir manchmal gedacht habe ach du scheiße was ist nur aus der kleinen Ellie geworden. Am Anfang habe ich Abby absolut nicht leiden können und nach der Szene wo sie Jesse erschossen hatte, der mir jetzt garnichtmal so wichtig war aber allein die tatsache des sie Ellie alles nimmt(ebenso wie Joel im ersten teil in Form von Tess und Sarah alles genommen wurde), hatte ich überhaupt keine Lust sie zu spielen. Aber wenn man dan mal dran ist und sieht was sie alles in der Zeit gemacht hat, wo man eigendlich dachte sie würde nur andere verletzen, ist sie mir am Ende echt ans Herz gewachsen weil sie sich eigendlich viel besser verhällt als Ellie. Vorallem da wo sie sie verschont, ich bin sicher Ellie hättw sie getötet obwohl sie beide ihren Vater und viele ihrer Freunde verloren haben. Das hat bei mir dazu gefühlt des ich am ende hin und hergerissen war zwischen beiden fraun und ich mir einfach gedacht hab bitte last es doch jetzt einfach gut sein. Und eben das ist es was das spiel erreichen und was es sein wollte. Dieses Spiel nimmt einen Emotional auf einer anderen Ebene mit und ob man den Twist jetzt mochte oder nicht, allein das macht es schon unglaublich.… Expand

I borrowed my friends PS and actually went through it twice. Beautiful graphics that really pushed the boundaries of the gen, engaging characters who I grew to love and an amazing story with the perfect end. So when I heard they were making Part 2 I was nervous where they’d take these characters... While this game is very beautiful the gameplay doesn’t feel much different from the first game, which isn’t a bad thing but it does become very repetitive and gets quite boring when you’re exploring these needlessly big areas full of loot. The gunplay is still quite janky and the stealth kills very quickly become a rinse and repeat process. The main problem with this game is the absolute butchery and bastardisation of the characters and story we have come to love. Within the first 2 hours we see the beloved Joel beaten to death by Abby while Ellie watches sending her on a rage fuelled revenge mission. Not only does Joel and Tommy save Abby when they randomly stumble across her in a blizzard, they disregard all the things they learnt from the first game when they trustingly wander into an unknown camp and introduce themselves. It’s a hard first few hours and if you manage to get past the sudden betrayal of Joel you’d think the worst is over, but it is far from over... The game sends you as Ellie on this revenge mission to kill Abby and her followers and you spend the next few hours exploring and cutting people down left and right, before you’re forced to play as Abby for what seems like far too long, in hope that you’ll understand and reason with her of why this random npc caved Joel’s skull in. The end is where you truly lose all hope for this game. Ellie has lost friends and killed hundreds on her hunt for Abby, as she finally fights her and loses a few fingers in the process she has a flashback of Joel and now decides revenge is bad... letting Abby go. I mean seriously?! What? It seems that this really all was for nothing. Ellie returns home, a couple of fingers down and short a good few friends and lover and you sit and think what the hell have I accomplished over the last 25 hours? It wouldn’t surprise me if in part 3, Abby digs up Joel’s corpse and **** him before giving the finger to the camera and dabbing. Do yourselves a favour, don’t play this betrayal. We deserved better.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beware, this review does contain spoilers

    Before playing:
    My favorite genre is post-apocalyptic. I loved the first game and have played it several times, so of course I was super excited about the sequel.
    I was one of those people who didn't want ANY kind of spoilers before playing the game. I didn't look at gameplay footage since the announcement trailer last year, I didn't look at the controversies of the leaks. Nothing, nada. I wanted a clean slate going into this game with an open mind. And I'm really happy I did that because now that I've played it I've ventured online to see what other people think and boy do people have different opinions!

    After Playing:
    I think they made some bold moves with the story. Killing off the main character from the first game is a very bold move and I get why people get upset, I was upset, its a very devastating moment. In my opinion it doesn't make the game bad, it sets the tone for the game "Ellie wants to find Abby and get revenge". And I could easily get behind it, I could feel how much I wanted to revenge Joel and kill Abby and her group members. I had true hatred towards her, in the same way you have towards certain characters in TV series or other games. So when the game changed the perspective and it came down to playing as Abby I could hear my inner voice going "I don't want to play as the villain! I want to kill her! Let me kill her!" Again I get why some people would dislike this move, I disliked it to begin with, but again I don't think it makes the game bad. You get to see things from her perspective, how she hates Joel and wants to kill him to avenge her father, so much so that she probably "roided up" and got some huge forearms. Now I get that some people don't like when women look like this, but think of it from her perspective, she wanted to be strong and I mean really f*cking strong, the dedication is unreal. You hear her discuss life choices and regrets with one of the later characters Lev. I think parts of her regretted losing her innocence in the process of becoming a post-apocalyptic killing machine You see her change her view of right and wrong and save Lev and Yara and she even says "I did it for me".

    I think Naughty Dog was trying to show a very "simple" point that is, people aren't simple, there are no good guys or bad guys, or good sides or bad sides. People and causes are a mix of good things and bad things it depends on the perspective. An example is the W.L.F, when you see them from Abby's perspective you first see them as this community where people are getting along with kindergardens and so on, but later when you get to the FOB you see how they are torturing people for information, the good AND the bad. You also hear Owen giving an example about the Fireflies "people thought we were terrorist, and maybe we were, we blew up soldiers and civilians". It is a very bold move, most likely a hit or a miss for most people, but for me it set my thought process in motion; "Am I really sure Abby still deserves to die? I mean Joel did kill her father. But she tortured him, she has to die! But she saved those kids, maybe she is reformed?" and so on and so on.

    I know someone will say parts of the story is SJW forced and leftist propaganda with all the lesbians and transgender characters, but I honestly don't think its that bad. You have the main character Ellie, which happens to be lesbian, so what?... You have the main villain Abby, who happens to be flat-chested and have bigger arms than most guys, so what?... You have Lev, which was a 13 year old girl named Lilly but would rather be a boy, so he shaved his head, so what?... It's not like that's all they yap about. When Abby finds out Lev was actually a girl named Lilly she asks "do you want to talk about it" and Lev goes "No".

    I guess I wasn't as shocked when they killed Joel because I remember telling my friend when one of the first trailers came out: "It's probably going to be about the fireflies killing Joel and she wants to get revenge" and my friend went "There is no way they would dare try that, noway" :)

    All in all I really really liked the game, so I have given it a 9/10.    … Expand

    The game has a very disappointing story. As someone who absolutely loved the first game this sequel does not do justice. The writing is very poor, much like Star Wars 8 and 9, where it is ok if you have no context of what’s going on but for the fans it is completely ruined. I am not going to consider this canon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All I care here is the story. The first game gave us an amazing story and experience, where you are part of the bonding process of Ellie and Joel. You learn how to love both of the characters, and the Left Behind adds to that. TLOU2? It's ridiculous compared to the first one. Joel's character was severely brain damaged by the writers to do what he does. The story unfolds with a promise of something you never achieve, nor Ellie. Not to mention the trailer where Joel first appears was nothing but a big fat lie, misleading us to the bad written plot Naugthy Dog had come up. I don't feel like I wasted money buying this game, instead I like to think I bought a little bit of wisdom in not falling for hype and critics pre-analysis or critics analysis at all. That's my first and I hope, only, review. I'm heartbroken with this game. If Naughty Dog still has one functional neuron on their collective mind, they would rearrange the game, placing it chronologically. The flash backs between Ellie and Joel would happen first, and then we would be dragged to the "present" it wouldn't fix the poorly written story, but it would give a decent pace to the narrative and it would show a small appreciation and respect for the fans of the first installment of the franchise. 1/10… Expand

    1/10 for Story, 9/10 for Graphics and Animation, 3/10 for Gameplay.

    My real score would be to give this maybe a 5/10 Average Score but Metacritic would rather just delete all the negative "bot" reviews and keep all the perfect 10/10's from actual bots.    … Expand

    Abby and Lev are incredibly boring in addition to being a Joel and Ellie 2.0, PS: It was not necessary to put so much flashback that they do not explain anything besides how much sex the characters have, it has a horrible pre pubert essence, you have to be between 13 to 15 years and your pants are burning for sex so you like it

Now don’t get me wrong. What happened story wise in the spoilers I am not upset about. It’s just the fact that someone ruins other experiences. That aside. I quickly forgot about it once I’d started playing. This game is a masterpiece in story telling. People are complaining about the story choices but listen, they are only angry because they didn’t experience it organically through gameplay. Without the spoilers, no one would be complaining. This game is beautiful. It’s dark, it’s heart wrenching and utterly exhausting. This is exactly what you want for the Last Of Us universe. It’s not a walk in the park. It shouldn’t be. Not everyone will love the outcomes and that’s fine. Just enjoy the experience. I am a huge fan of the first and I am left very satisfied with this journey. The story of Ellie and Joel has been engrossing from the start and The Last Of Us Part 2 really takes it to the next level. There are some incredibly moving moments, and some dark, heartbreaking arcs. There are a whole new cast of great characters and luscious locations. Wonderful story telling. Hats off to everyone who worked on this magnificent game. 10/10.… Expand

    Testosterona

    “Cerca de metade dos pais sem nenhum direito de visita ainda sustenta seus filhos financeiramente “ A testosterona salva vidas. É isso que assistimos no resgate de seres humanos em Brumadinho.

    “Cerca de metade dos pais sem nenhum direito de visita ainda sustenta seus filhos financeiramente “

    A testosterona salva vidas. É isso que assistimos no resgate de seres humanos em Brumadinho. A masculinidade é a potência do bem, o bálsamo da coragem, ela é capaz de colocar a vida de qualquer homem abaixo de qualquer outra para salvá-la. Assim são os homens: os que colocam a vida das mulheres, crianças e amigos, acima da sua. O mundo nunca seria o que conhecemos sem este **** quase divino da ação masculina. Conquistas, epopéias eivadas de força e a noção de quê somos soldados de uma legado metafísico de heróis do passado, isso que sustenta os homens. É um sentimento de subserviência ao mundo, a Deus, e aos seus pares.

    Mas a masculinidade tem sido alvo da sanha transhumanista. Meninos estão sendo reprimidos nos seus mais básicos instintos que afloram do seu ethos natural.

    Ao sugerir que esta potência é algo ruim, ao emparelhar o mau com a masculinidade, a politica, o materialismo e o transhumanismo estão criando um mundo sem talvez uma das suas principais essências: a força do homem bom.

    Então digo: a força do homem jamais desaparecerá, o que não podemos incorrer no erro de deixá-las somente nas mãos de quem decide ser mau.

    Assim como as mulheres histéricas são suprimidas pelas outras que conhecem a sua força de coesão sobre a natureza, sobre a sociedade.

    Mas infelizmente é isto que esta sendo gestado na televisão, salas de aulas e partidos políticos: a androgenizacao da raça masculina. Por pessoas más, que querem mudar o mundo para pior, de forma artificial.

    Sim, o mundo sem masculinidade é que é tóxico, e não o contrário. Os bombeiros de Brumadinho nos deram mais uma vez essa lição.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Review Contains Spoilers*

    I played TLOU1 in 2014 and it easily became my favorite game and was clearly ahead of its time, but it seems the writers at NaughtyDog completely missed what made that game so memorable. I waited 6 years for this sequel, and it was incredibly disappointing to say the least :(

    I will start off by saying that the graphics/visuals, opportunities for further exploration, and flashbacks were some of my favorite moments; as well as playing as Ellie in the first half of the game. These are the only reasons this game even deserves as high as a 5. However, the story on the other hand….

    *Joel dying in the first couple hours of the game......in TLOU1 Joel was the type of guy to literally trust nobody and take no **** from anyone. Why on Earth would he think to help a random straggler in Abby and think following her somewhere was smart? AND THEN TELL EVERYONE HIS REAL NAME?? Like c’mon, anyone in their right mind would use a code name or something at the very least and not be so naïve, especially Joel.

    *Abby's Story/Ellie Ending: This game haphazardly attempts to get you to empathize with Abby and the fact that her dad was the surgeon that Joel killed at the end of the first game when he saved Ellie from the Fireflies. Guess what? I DON'T CARE....I can't understand the game showing her kill Joel in the beginning and then 10 hours later showing us why she did it. At that point, she is my least favorite character and I do not care about her in the slightest. And the fact that we have to play as her for the entire second half of the game is ridiculous and a boring/repetitive revenge journey. They should stick to a single storyline for an entire game and not split 20+hours between Ellie and Abby. I even let Abby die a few times when I played as her because that's how little I cared for her character or story.
    Not to mention the fact that Ellie went through this huge revenge plot and kills everyone in the group, except her. Wtf is that? Track Abby down once, let her live. Track Abby down YEARS LATER and still let her live?? Like I understand the ultimate journey is supposed to emphasize that Ellie lost everything along the way, but it's just such a horrible way to end the game. Seemed completely empty imo.

    *I believe another reason the story was so obviously misrepresentative of the first game was that there was too much virtue spotlighting. NaughtyDog tried soooo hard to make sure they were politically correct over actually providing the emotional connection necessary to keep my attention and love for the game. How does an entire group, in the middle of an apocalypse, care if someone is gay or transgender? Literally makes no sense to me and they forced Lev out... Abby and Lev are not the duo I want to see in a game; if it's not Ellie or Joel, what's the point?
    And let me preface all that by saying that I LOVED Ellie and Dina's relationship. It was one of my favorite moments and I feel like that wasn't explored fully, nor were the actual stories of Dina and Jesse. More time should have been put into their stories.

    Overall, I just feel NaughtyDog completely dropped the ball with so much filler and nonsense and lost everything about what made TLOU1 so extraordinary. They should have catered to the fan base that played that unforgettable first game all those years ago, and it certainly feels like they forgot what made that game so successful. This game is not replayable unless you’re a glutton for punishment.

    *Ultimately, after playing the game, I think a better storyline would have been something like the disbanded Firefly group getting back together and infiltrating Jackson. Maybe, they kidnap Joel and take him prisoner and then we have to follow Ellie (+ Dina, Jesse, or Tommy) travel and fight to eventually save him and bring him back. I think the fact that Naughty Dog completely destroyed the Joel-Ellie Dynamic and eliminated the emotional connection of TLOU1 made the story of TLOU2 so terrible.

    Please Remaster the game and save the series!!

Сюжет отвратителен, трейлер изменили и вместо ожидаемого путешествия любимых героев мы получаем скучнейшую историю перекаченной недобабы и пустую, как персонажа , Дину. Не знаю какому человеку в голову пришло убить главного героя, который вывозил весь сюжет, да еще и любимую лошадь зачем-то. Но сразу после таких отвратительных поворотов захотелось сломать диск с игрой, как некоторые и поступали, а не проходить ее дальше. Игра не имеет смысла без того тандема, что был в первой части. Новая подружка Элли является лишь болванчиком, не более, привязанности к ней нет никакой. Хоть заменили бы на что-то стоящее, прежде чем ломать то, что есть и все любят. Понятно, что авторы хотели дать Элли цель для мщения, но не такой ценой же. Ту же Дину убить было лучшей идеей. (Объяснило бы мотивацию Элли для мести, а мы бы продолжили наслаждаться тандемом Джоэль+Элли. Итог: продолжение истории отвратительно и пусто настолько, что остальные достоиства игры блекнут на этом фоне.

    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.
