The Last of Us Part II Review - Subpar Subversion | Cultured Vultures

The Last of Us Part II provides a rote revenge tale that is ill-considered, ending on a note that feel utterly, hopelessly pointless.

Interesting.

Disagree with the review. One of the best stories in gaming. The game is a 10. Just a flat out masterpiece. Loved every minute of it. I'm now on my second playthrough and cleaning up the trophies and collectibles I missed.

Suzyp1794d ago

You're giving the story too much praise. It's not as good as you think it is. It's great that you think it's a masterpiece, can't stop you. But you shouldn't ignore all the blatant problems the game has. Did you know you can abuse your way through survivor with stealth kills and dodge spamming? Laughable gameplay design.

I feel like in the sense of gaming, just pure gameplay immersion, graphics, audio all that jazz. This game is surely tits. The story is the downfall for all If us that are the “haters” (me included). I hope y’all enjoy your game.
When they remaster this game for ps5, and they definitely will remaster it. I hope they at least throw in some of that multiplayer I love so deeply. I’m sure that’s why they took it out so they can add it to the ps5 remaster. Just my thought.

I don't think this story is better than the first game or some other games I've played. I'm not sure I'd go as far as a 6.5/10 as I haven't finished it and likely won't until I buy my own copy, but I definitely can't say it has the best story at about halfway through or so.

There is a ton of great stuff in the game, though.

RedDevils1793d ago (Edited 1793d ago )

the story is not a 10 but definitely a 9.

mandingo1793d ago

I haven’t seen a single person say the story is good just stop. The problem with this site is no one will say anything bad about a game made by Sony. It’s ok. Like not every game is a masterpiece. The game is great in other areas but the story is not. It’s like saying halo 5 story was good. It wasn’t. Get over it. They ruined the story just accept it. Go play TLOU1.

You have low standards for good stories haha.

Did you know if you stop being a troll and make things up and play something else.
I am playing on survival and its brutal. So stop lying. You need to be good at that dodge spamming wont help you. Also enemies AI are more alert on survival. They will look for you everywhere and also they turn around every now and then and it becomes difficult to sneak behind them. So carry on with the hate the game is doing so well and trolls are actually salty that the game didnt fail.

BenRC011793d ago

It survives purely on the tlou1 efforts. I was ready to give up in the last 3rd, the script just got it plain wrong imo.

turab1793d ago

you know shit about character development. Maybe you might be gay too.

You sound bitter and twisted that the vast majority of reputable gaming websites liked the game. Claiming their review aren't real? How moronic. Your joke of a gaming website is laughable btw.

dan3231793d ago

Yeah real shitty. Also game soled super good, so yall can keep crying.

mrsolidsteel201794d ago (Edited 1794d ago )

Ok guys, just finished the TLOU 2 and I can say it was awesome.

I’m not going to be a dick and spoil anything, but me personally I do not like Abby, but I see where she’s coming from and to answer the burning question that none of these immature/ignorant/sexist Youtubers are addressing.....no Abby is not a transexual.

The story is about revenge in the most savage way you can think of, so yes, there’s a lot of WTF moments, but at the same there’s some heartfelt ones too.

Another thing that not one reviewer or so called user is talking about are the new types of infected, which are f$&king awesome, you guys have to witness it for yourselves.

The combat is crazy fun and superior to every way to the first game, the way you can interact with environments to escape your enemies is second to none. If there’s another game that you can do this please let me know. For example, I was surrounded by group and I broke thru this random to get away from them and also I was fighting this one enemy that almost got the upper hand on me, with pure luck I shot him in his leg and he fell down to his knees and I grab my bat and bashed his freaking head in, which felt extremely good.

I really enjoyed this title, it’s a solid 9 for me. I’m going to play it again and try to get everything.

SamTheGamer1794d ago

Nice one. I'm also going to play it again.

'The story is about revenge '
Ok

I thought they could have done much more interesting given the setting, characters and all

BenRC011794d ago

Splinter cell blacklist has a very similar gameplay mechanic which I preferred.

TKCMuzzer1794d ago

Yep, the naysayers are not actually discussing the game as a game, which is quite ridiculous when you think about it. This is a better GAME than the first.

Visually stunning. Animations are fluid. I loved running through environment and just watching Ellie's hands quickly pick up and stow items. Combat is an improvement over the first game, but won't win over anyone who didn't like it in the first game. I like the addition of the workbench.

I've already addressed my problems with the story and I did not like the ending.

iQuasar1793d ago

Pretty much verbatim of the article's viewpoints. Themes and story suck. Technical execution is a masterpiece of work.

BenRC011793d ago

agree totally. Who ever wrote this got it all wrong.

AnnaDea1794d ago

3/4 through or something.

Gotta say this is the game of the year by far.

So much Naughty Dog magic!

SyntheticForm1794d ago

This game has absolutely exceeded my expectations. Game of the year by far for me as well, and it may wind up being my game of gen.

Bloodborne, Witcher 3, God of War, TLOU 2; there have been so many damn good games this gen. It's quite difficult to make a choice that puts one above the rest.

Pretty sure cyberpunk or Halo will take that crown. No way does Tlous2 get it when half the fanbase hate it

RedDevils1790d ago

That power Ranger game? lol
