    I do enjoy my time with those friends who are LGBTs, they are really important part of my life. So I will score 0 to this game just because of unreasonable story rather than you so called " prejudice and discrimination to LGBT" blah blah blah.

    New dog doesnt show any respect to those truly faithful fans of The Last of Us, farewell Noob director

Juego muy muy muy esperado quizás eso a veces juega en contra y se tienen espectativas más allá de las que uno puede obtener en el producto final , en el ámbito gráfico y jugable es de 10 nada que reclamar unos pequeños fallos que no afectan la jugabilidad, lo jugué en difícil para aprovechar mejor la inteligencia artificial del juego lo que me pareció bastante bien los enemigos eran más fuertes y aprovechaban más el entorno para franquearnos, lamentablemente el punto más bajo es la historia , está mal construida nos obligan a jugar con Abby justo cuando ya teníamos el desenlace de la historia pudieron haber hecho capitulo intermedio entre ellie y Abby y quedaba mejor , nos hacían empatizar con Abby y entender la motivación que tenía por matar a Joel pero no , nos hacen jugar con ella como si fuese un juego nuevo eso no me gustó y lo peor es el final uno quiere hacer "justicia" de cierta forma ya que uno siempre es héroe o víctima en su propia historia y se nos prohíbe esa sed de venganza o de querer hacer justicia por algo que se nos arrebato de manera tan abrupta es el único pero ya que en los otros ámbitos es excelente muy entretenido… Expand

    Jogo muito bom apesar de ser um pouco difícil se adaptar com a perda e o fato de ter de jogar com a assassina do Joel. Confesso que tenho alguns contra, pensamentos de que certos pontos da história deveria ser diferente, mas no geral não decepiciona e é bastante imersivo e emocionante

    why it has to be forced? why? in left behind it was justified but here; you are in the end of the world for god sake and that's more important? in what world is this mature? yelling to the olders is mature? insulting is mature? why? the premise was amazing even for abby, but why ellie didn't progress or if this is progress why in this way? why you force to this is something mature?

    Although it's easy to feel disappointed by some early developments, the differing ways in which this new story progresses shows the irrelevance of the concept of good and evil in this world, in a way that can only be seen in works like American History X, leading to a an emotionally rich (although exhausting) experience that pays off overwhelming compared to those first moments.

    Firstly, I'm a huge fan of the last of us and I truly think that rating it zero just for the story misses the point of reviewing a game. Imagine if this game was released as a text-based game but it had the story that everyone wanted... would everyone be slamming that 10/10 rating? Probably not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I finished Last of Us Part 2 and I can't sleep. Like so many others I have too many thoughts and emotions in my head swirling right now and I think I understand the outrage and need to get my thoughts down. This is going to be long but I will avoid spoilers. To summarize: play this game at your own risk after playing the first one which can be traumatizing in its own right.

    So lets start by setting aside the bigoted alt right movement who are attacking this game for similar reasons as Captain Marvel (yes LGBTQ characters make out and have sex in the game get over it).

    Next point is that the original Last of Us came at a time when multi-player games and apocalyptic stories flooded the market. It changed how stories can be told in not just video games but movies. One could argue that several beloved movies such as Logan, Quiet Place, John Wick, Bird Box and many others wouldn't exist without it's inspiration. Same could be said for critically acclaimed story games like the new God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Uncharted 4, and even Spiderman PS4.

    So obviously this franchise resonates with people and while people are criticizing the story for not having a point they are also criticizing it for having a political agenda. Neither are true. The directors and creators of this game said four years ago that making people uncomfortable was going to be the point of this game. They knew what they were doing. They knew people would be triggered. I think a lot of people are mad that they are feeling all these mixed emotions but they don't understand the deep psychological reasons why or dont have the self awareness to process these emotions due to the avoidance tendency modern society has created due to political, religious, and mental health issues as it makes them uncomfortable. On top of that the timing of this game is impeccable. Right during a pandemic where humanity and society is splitting itself apart.

    This game is not positive vibes. This game is not the same type of fun like Naughty Dogs other franchise Uncharted. There is no winning in this game. One could argue it is not a game because of these traits. I'd agree. It's an experience. This game made me have a panic attack. It caused me extreme anxiety. Great, both me and the character have PTSD. This game was visually the most beautiful game I've ever played but also the most horrifc game I've ever seen. No it's not fun to have to shove a knife through a dogs throat because its about to tear your throat open and hear it whimper as it bleeds out. How the hell did I kill 10 people with 2 bullets and a empty beer bottle? Ah **** that guys name was Jimmy? Sorry I guess. I cant hear a clicking sound or a whistle right now without having my heart skip a beat. I am numb. I am hurt.
    Traveling through Wyoming, Seattle, Santa Barbra, and more is breathtaking. What would I sacrifice for love? What would you sacrifice to survive? God I love dinosaurs. Can I play Hotel California on the guitar? Holy **** I can.

    Right and wrong is all about perspective. Think for yourself. There is no such thing as good and evil. Humanity is horrible. This game may not be a 10/10 like the original. But I'd still give it an 9/10. Sometimes there is no meaning in death, sometimes it is unavoidable. Yes this game is painful.

    Yes this game can be traumatizing but it's also beautiful. The longer time goes on I think the more people will appreciate this game. It is unforgettable. Things don't always go the way you want. Sometimes being a better person is not in your own self interest. At some point enough pain will break you. Sometimes the person you love is in the wrong and the person you hate is just reminding you of the person in the mirror.    … Expand

Las actuaciones son de otro nivel y es algo a lo que ND nos tiene acostumbrados, lamentablemente la historia quedará como uno de los puntos débiles de este juego pues se entiende el cambió y evolución de algunos personajes pero se deja a desear más aun comparado con la primera parte.

    When I began playing the game I hated it. I was very frustrated with the story and what they did to Joel. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Joel had it coming. I wish he would’ve died a different way but that’s what makes his death so powerful. The gameplay and graphics are terrific and I felt that the story got better and it was a great game overall.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Who wrote this? The characters are not themselves at all.

    1) Tommy and Joel would NOT try so hard to save a perfect stranger wandering so close to their compound

    2) Tommy would NOT invite a group of strangers to their settlement without vetting them thoroughly

    3) Tommy and Joel would NOT just give out their names so easily

    4) People who killed Joel would NOT leave behind 2 important witnesses so that they can come back and bite them in the ass.

    These plot holes were never debated at Naughty Dog? I don't believe it.
    Just so that they can make up a story of Ellie going on a quest for revenge.
    The writing is just ridiculous...

    So sad. I had SO much respect for Naughty Dog before.

    Waited patiently for a release of the sequel. And this?!!

    Would think twice before buying any more game from this studio ever again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This “heartwarming” story of forgiveness is ruined by the fact that Joel made the right decision when he saved Ellie from the Fireflies. The cure never would’ve worked because A. It’s a fungal infection and no one IRL has developed a vaccine for a fungal infection (watch Game Theory’s video) B. Ellie was one of a good few immune people who the Fireflies previously failed to extract a vaccine from and C. Once a vaccine is made, then how do they apply it to save the world? They can’t vaccinate everyone and a vaccine doesn’t cure someone who is already infected. Not to mention the other factions of people who may try to steal the vaccine for themselves and ruin it all. There’s too many possibilities that would make Ellie’s death be for nothing so Joel made the right choice in saving her. So how in any way did he deserve to be killed by Abby?

    Abby, even by the end of the story, never became redeemable or in other words someone who deserved to be spared and forgiven. Let’s not forget that Abby was the only one who got her revenge and she ENJOYED it, continuing to be a cruel, evil person. When Abby is told Dina is pregnant, she says “good” and almost slits her throat. Compare that to Ellie, who after killing Mel (another pregnant woman) has a huge meltdown of guilt that causes her to be willing to go home until Abby shows up again and kills Jesse. Joel SAVED ABBYS LIFE in an act of trust and compassion and he gets punished by being brutally tortured and killed. Ellie ends up alone with no one left, and loses two fingers so she can’t play guitar anymore, which was a personal connection to Joel.


    So, what’s the message of this story? Abby gets the best ending out of all the characters. Abby, the one who got her revenge. So is revenge good? That’s a horrible message and I don’t see why anyone praises this game for having a compelling, thought-provoking message. The only message I got was that revenge and cruelty is good because you get on top of everyone else.

    The Last Of Us 1 is my favorite story of all time. I based a lot of my childhood off of it. I used to play WoW, and TLOU influenced me so much I became a survival hunter in order to be like Joel. So it’s really insulting to me when some person tells me that I “just don’t understand the deep message”. TLOU’s world may be one of only a few stories that I have a truly deep connection with, and TLOU 2 does not match up to it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am giving this game a 0 because of the lies told by Naughty Dog. This company manipulated their fan base and lied in order to sell copies of their game. They altered trailers to trick us into thinking we we’re going to be playing alongside Joel throughout the game, making him look younger. I understand that companies sometimes have trailers that are misleading but not outright lie to their fan base about you playing a character that actually dies in the first three hours of the game. Neil Druckmann also lied to us saying that Ellie will be the only playable character when in fact 50% of the game you are playing Abby. We don’t care that you kill off a beloved character, we care HOW you do it. Unfortunately, Neil got too into his head thinking he could do no wrong that he drove his beautiful story into the ground.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pero la mayoría de las quejas se centren en la muerte que le dieron a Joel, por una razón básica: el juego no es solo una situación, es una acumulación de momentos, sensaciones y acciones que dan un todo. Y que nadie sea capaz de ver más allá me asombra en cuanto a la poca crítica objetiva que hay al respecto (sobran los que se quejan de la muerte de Joel pero sobran aún más los que se quejan de la sexualidad de las personajes)

    Abby es una mujer que quería vengar no solo la muerte de su papá sino también reventar al tipo que dejó sin cura a la humanidad. No podés empatizar con ella? Perfecto, a mí es un personaje que no me gustó, no me identifiqué en ningún momento con ella, pero la clave no es amarla sino entenderla: qué haría uno en su lugar? Acaban de matar a tu papá cometiendo uno de los peores crímenes para la humanidad de paso, QUÉ HARÍAS? Yo te puedo asegurar que siendo Abby lo que le haría a Joel sería peor que lo que le hizo.

    Todos amamos a Joel, y a mí me quebró su muerte. Fue muy fuerte, pero ahí es donde empieza el verdadero argumento del juego: la venganza de uno se convierte en la venganza del otro, y así se crea un ciclo de violencia y muerte que no tiene fin. "Ojo por ojo quedaremos todos ciegos" dice un refrán, y acá quedó más que claro cuando al final Ellie queda completamente sola, Tommy está quebrado y completamente solo.

    No olvidemos que no es "The Last Of Us 2", sino que es "Parte 2". Qué significa eso? Que no es una secuela para ver cómo puede llegar a seguir la historia, sino que es la parte de una historia global que nos faltaba aprender, nos faltaba ver las consecuencias de lo que pasó y entender a su vez que lo que estamos haciendo ahora también tendrá consecuencias que en el caso de Ellie serán brutales, nada favorables.

    En fin: ojalá la crítica pudiera ser más global y reflexionar sobre los errores que cometió el juego.    … Expand

    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.
