    My wife's boyfriend preordered this game twice, and sooo happy for that! A 10, why?: LGBT representation and conservatives and christians are mad about it. One day under socialism every vídeo game will have only LGBT characters and LGBT stories. Communism will win and hopefully under BLM administration.

    It's a shame how such a technical masterpiece can be destroyed by an over derivative narrative.

    Mueren personajes principales absurdamente, Joel en el primer juego era una maquina de matar y en la segunda lo matan de la manera mas estúpida y el final deja mucho que desear.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank you naughty dog for ruining my favourite protagonist by killing him mercilessly by a she hulk. He didn't deserve it, oh thats not even the worse part, you get to play as the killer and the story makes you feel bad about her. First of all I don't care how hard neil **** had a hard on for that monster you call a girl. But when in the end you get to kill her, ellie just leaves her. This doesn't even make any senset this means that joel died for nothing,. Seriously, ND what happened you are the master of story telling how bad can you fk up. I know that you people still had the guts to say that all the negative reviews are from bots. What are you saying that the fans are bots. That is sooo disrespectful. Well you can't except respect from a company who doesn't even respect their characters. Thank you for making the worst game ever… Expand

    when I started playing part 2, it was up and down for the first few hrs. I hated it and loved it. Now I’m about halfway through the game and it’s the best game I ever played.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a slap in the face to the fans who loved the first game, almost 2 hours in Joel is killed by a new character named Abby and then later I have to freaking play as her after what she did? Then they try to make you feel sorry for her? Nah Forget that it’s complete bull. Then that sex scene with Abby and that guy.. (forgot his name because that’s how forgettable he is) was just disturbing and uncomfortable to watch and what made it worse was that the guy was mocapped to look like the director of the game, so he basically put that scene in so he can get some pleasure, that’s some sick and disgusting stuff. Then the ending oh the ending, to sum it up Ellie is about to kill Abby which in order to get to that point she had to kill at least hundreds of people and when she finally has the chance she says that killing Abby won’t do anything? Then what the heck was the point of Ellie killing all those people just to not Kill Abby, it’s horrible writing and an excuse to make a 3rd game which will probably be worse than this garbage. Please if you liked the first game just pretend that that was the ending and this game is just horrible fan fiction, because the story for the 2nd game is nowhere near close to the Same level as the 1st game, heck even fans could’ve wrote something better than this garbage. Just please save your money and don’t listen to the “critic” reviews because its clear to see that those reviews were paid for So they could fool people into buying the game. Please just save your money and avoid this insulting garbage.… Expand

    •Not so many new types of infected
    •Bad ending
    •I dont like that we switch characters

    The thing that made this game bad for me was the story when the last of us 1 had such an amazing story. Naugthy dog are known for making good stories and they did not show that.

    It was sad that they destroyed The last of us 1 with the last of us 2. I dont recommend paying full price for this game.

    It's often difficult to offer a quality sequel and also to surprise after a game perceived as a masterpiece.

    They picked TLOU, something beautiful and heart-wrenching, one of the best stories out there about loss, conflicting feelings and interactions that absolutely made you fall in love with the characters and made it into a rushed, down your throat shock therapy revenge story... Absolutely sad how they destroyed it.

    Id be remiss for talking about the sequel, without first mentioning it's predecessor.

    When I first played The Last Of Us in 2013 for the Playstaion 3, I was like 19 and thought it was the best game on the planet. Now, I've played it 2 in the last two weeks; once for the store, and once for the Grounded Mode gameplay. There were things that I still LOVED about the game, like how fluid it was and how well written/spoken the characters were. While Uncharted's Nathan Drake was a treasure hunting serial murderer with no regard for human life, Joel was a tired, grieving man who felt as though everything is did was to protect and survive. But while Uncharted has a ton of monotonous climbing (albeit with a few scripted moments to keep things fresh), The Last of Us had annoying Ladders and "drag this over here" moments to pad gameplay. It's kind of ridiculous how often you had to pick up a ladder just to literally walk it two **** inches from its destination. AND THE PALLETS, OH GOD THE PALLETS... But the combat and story is where the game shined. The shooting and aim was pretty rough, but the combat was still one of the best experiences I've had in gaming even after 7 years of playing better games. While it couldn't hold a candle to the recent God Of War, it was so crisp when youd throw a molotov at a small group, dip behind cover and choke a guy out, take out a guy from across the room with a boy and then finish of the last guy with good old-fashioned fists. It was nice how every fight felt a little different. Sometimes youd push a guy off some stairs for a kill, or smash their head in if there were against a wall. It was brutal, intense, and impressive when you think about how far this game pushed the limits of the PS3. And the story was so incredible, it really didn't need a sequel, even though fans of the game, including my 19 year old self, really wanted one. Watching Joel go from brooding and dark to tragically optimistic after a year with Ellie was tear-jerking, while watching a Ellie go from snarky and quick-witted to tragically hopeless because of Joel was gloomy and perfect.

    The Last of Us 2 is amazing.

    While the story isn't amazing, I think it needed to happen. The was playing the first game with my roomate in the area, and she constantly was like, "So do these characters just get to walk away from all this with no consquences whatsoever?" And it raised a great point. After beating the original Last of Us, questions I hadn't considered as a teen were raised now. Could Joel just walk into a hospital, kill a ton of innocent people, and walk out of it to start a happy life with Ellie and not be held accountable in any way shape or form? And if he could, is that really how life works? Would Ellie forgive him for robbing her of being a sacrifice for a cure to an apocalypse? What would the dynamic be after that?

    The Last of Us: Part II answers a lot of questions and raises a few more, and while the story takes a bit longer to wrap up than needed to, the overall message is clear.

    I've heard a lot of review talk about how they became unphased and deafed by the gore and blood this game offers. And honestly, get the **** over it. If you could watch scenes from The Walking Dead, or play Mortal Kombat and go "awh man, I gotta see what happens next," then dont tell me about how the gore was too much for you. It wasn't that bad, I've seen much worse, and if games are designed with the idea that they will become increasingly cinematic and realistic then all this game does in the realism department is take a big step forward. If bloody games bother you, maybe play Pokemon. They have new DLC.

    To people saying the characters don't make good choices, and that Ellie isn't the same. No, of course Ellie isn't the **** same. And if you take time to consider the fact that she was dragged across the country at the age of 14 by a guy in this 50's who's capable of murdering hundred of zombies and people with only his fists and a few handcrafted shivs ALL so that she could find out she's actually NOT able to save the planet from a disease shes immune to, you might be able to understand why. I haven't come across anything that made me go "now why would they do that."

    Also, if you watched the trailer of Ellie kissing a girl and went "why is Naughty Dog pushing a gay agenda on me?" then just don't play this game. Its cast is a lot more colorful and progressive than any game thats ever been out, and if youre upset by that idea then save your money. But in my opinion, it was going to happen eventually and I'm glad Naughty Dog got to steer it in a nice "not in your face but this is happening so get over it" direction.

    I wasn't HAPPY about some of the things that happened in this game, but I understood why they did. I think its time to open your eyes and stop thinking about what you would have WANTED to happen, and what actually makes sense.    … Expand

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
