Red Dead 2 had a far superior story to The Last of Us 2. I get that you may be so impatient that you need the main character to die in the first hour of the game, but come on - Joel's death was done so poorly, that even The Walking Dead beat the hell out of it with Glenn and Abraham's death in a similar scenario.

The combat was fine, it at least had a weighty punch to it. TLOU2 beats it in this regard, but it's the only aspect you could objectively call better....

Lol no she wasn't, the game tried it's hardest to make you like her. It failed.

Not The Last of Us 2 that's for sure. Most overrated game of the generation.

Not as good as the cake one on the PS3

Yeah great, revenge is bad, villains aren't always evil. Such groundbreaking themes. Such a completely original plot, and they totally didn't have to throw out the potential set up by the first game for it. Great job Druckmann.

It's more disappointing than the Mass Effect 3 ending... At least that only let people down at the end of the game, whereas TLOU2 is a poorly written, pointless story throughout.

And to the writer of this article - Abb...

Some of the apartments look too dense for third person gameplay to work, from what I can tell.

Gears 1 had the best campaign, but Gears 3 was the best overall package, with the best horde mode.

I mean, there's plenty of other PS4 exclusives that have great user scores on Metacritic, Days Gone even rated higher by users than critics. Are you suggesting Xbox fans are only interested in targeting TLOU2?

I don't get the arguement that anyone who hates it must not have played it. They clearly have legitimate issues with the story, that they would only know about by either playing or watching the game play out. It's also a double edged sword - who's to s...

It's possible to be a fan of the first game, and to dislike the second part enough to seriously criticise it. Many of them felt betrayed by the amount of perfect scores it received, so of course there's going to be backlash.

Call of Duty has plenty of fans, yet most of them were clear about their disapproval for Infinite Warfare before it even released. Many Mass Effect fans believed the ME3 ending was so bad that it almost ruined the series.

Ah yes, so everyone that says the story is disappointing is either lying, or doesn't know how to think for themselves. Well that explains it, I guess I must have imagined all the plot holes

The melee combat looked atrocious

Most if this "hate mob" are fans of the first game, disappointed by the plot of the second game. I hate how they're considered to be awful people for feeling this way. It's just nonsense, there are a lot of genuine problems with the game's narrative, and they shouldn't be written off with "WELL YOU ONLY HATE IT BECAUSE YOU HATE LESBIANS!"

Lol so with that logic, the PS5 isn't even as powerful as a current gen system?

Plenty of games have matched Naughty Dog's storytelling capabilities, many of which were already at that level before ND were well renowned for their stories. Mass Effect, Heavy Rain and Red Dead Redemption 2 all had better stories than any ND game. A few of the Telltale games were at least on par. Just to name a few.

Instead of just swatting away people's complaints with the story, just go and find out what people are complaining about. Watch some videos. That'...

Joel in part 1 - doesn't trust anyone. Runs over a guy because he didn't believe he was really injured. Natural distrust is part of his core.

Joel in part 2 - "Howdy strangers! My name is Joel, and this is my brother Tommy, former leader of the Fireflies, which I later massacred. Sounds like you've all heard of me? Those are some big guns you all got there, yep Joel that's my na-"

That's what's wrong with that scene. Joel...

A deeply well told story? That's ludicrous. I swear no other story focused game would get away with such a bad level of writing.

The finest achievement? Is tarnishing a beloved series considered an achievement now?

It's not the politics making people hate the game, it's the story. And believe me, it's far more than a dozen people who feel this way.

Of course you can try and call everyone that dislikes the story racist... Even though there's men and women of all races that hate it so far. But yes, just dismiss all their problems with the game as "racist." Or even better, just tell them they don't exist because they're obviously just a bunch of robots. ...

I'm not hating on Nintendo if that's what you're suggesting lol, I would probably argue BotW is the best exclusive of the last 10 years.

It's just that the Switch released half way through the current generation. If anything, the Wii U was closer to being current gen.

Even someone at Sony said Nintendo pretty much have their own generations. That's why I'm saying it's complicated to make a list like this now, because the Switc...
