Fanboying are we? That plot is terrible , straight trash . Ghost of t will be better look forward to that

Or, Maybe just maybe its his opinion that the game is great.

[TheTony316]

Good for you.

[Nyxus]

Game is great, get over it.

Loving the game so far, it's so we'll made its ridiculous. That said, I don't like how the story developed two hrs in but what can I say, it's ND's choice and we gotta respect it.

Back to it then.

Why don't you just grow up! The hate and vitriol for this game is ridiculous. If you don't like the game, fine go play something else, but to constantly try to bring the game down after all of the hard work that the developers put into it is asinine.

No sir that would be the people trolling this game, because they're basing their opinion on a 20-minute youtube store walkthrough, rather and playing the game themselves, and those on here simply agreeing because they don't like a 2 minute scene... if that from a 16 - 20 hour game.

It's an amazing game because I got to enjoy the rush of trying to make it through an entire horde of infected coming from every direction, and figuring out how I was going to survive this, as well as being chased by a town full of people trying to kill me and having to use my entire arsenal, run for my life, hide and attack under cover. Or see a bloated literally destroy walls and cause environmental destruction on an impressive scale as it tries to kill you. These are all experiences that cannot be felt in a YouTube video.

It's an amazing game because the acting, voice acting, and animiation are the best in the industry and eveyone does their part making these characters believable, and to see the bonds that not only Ellie, but the "enemies" have formed as Naughty Dog delivered in full on their promise to make the enemies seem as if they've been living in this world together and have established relationship as well.

It's an amazing game because the gameplay is the best Naughty Dog has done, and possibly the best I've ever played for a TPS / Stealth / Horror game, and that's per genre. It doesn't reinvent the formula, but it masters each of those elements like no other before it.

It's an amazing game because the environmental storytelling, where you can stumble across a bank heist gone wrong at the time of infection, or the reason why the "army group" lost power and have this new group took over, or what happened to the couple who decided to leave a safe haven to go out and save the world.

It's an amazing game because graphically I'd say it's nearly unrivaled on console with the scope and the detail of the world. Supported by amazing audio that instills fear and dread when things get tense.

And finally, it's an amazing game, because I have the emotional maturity to move past a 2 minute section of the game and understand the reasoning behind the actions of all parties involved, and unbothered by the outcome of the ending, and still appreciate it as not an amazing story, but a very well told extension to an already well told story from 7 years ago, instead of judging the entire game on two moments and calling people fanboys and saying the plot is terrible and straight trash.

That sounds like a fanboy and an ignorant one at that to me.

The trolls have managed to take down the story on N4G about the review bombing by bombing it with reports:

The irony...

N4G used to be pro Xbox last generation.

[Imalwaysright]

Bullshit.

[waverider]

Good Work! But whats next? What are ND already working? That the big question!

[TeamIcoFan]

Whatever it is, I'm all for it.

[throne]

its amazing having so many amazing studios competing with one another....next stop ps5!!!

The game is great, great story, great gameplay, great visuals, great sound, a game that marks of how it should be done.

The rage against this game is real, xbox fanboys are really upset. Too much time without something interesting to play and being confined at home, they are getting very emotional and illogical, giving harsh opinions like those we're observing. It seems their anger is not exclusive to this game but directed to Sony as a whole. Calm down people and remember, it's Ms fault if they didn't provide you, at minimum, medium quality games. That's not Sony's fault. Call Ms and tell them to watch very closely how games should be done and delivered.

If I were MS, I would be taking notes to improve my games output quality. The rhetoric of pixel count and fps is old and dead just by watching the marvelous graphics produced by this console of this generation. All I can say is thank you NG and all other first party developers for providing great experiences.

Sony's First-Party Studios are the best created games on console or pc, sonys 1st party is the top of the gaming chain and the bar that all other games wish to be.
