@kemuri07: very much disagree that its poetic justice. I think its more the metaphysical world they live in. but we can agree to disagree. it is a very complicated work of art.

I'm a little disappointed to see people thinking J SPOILER Did you see this before playing? Cuz on paper I can see this seeming like a pretty bad story. But in execution, there is so much more going ...

It's so easy to tell that people that say "the writing is bad" or "characters don't make sense" haven't played through the game. Especially when you can go back and see they were making these stateme...

@ragnar_mike: surely you must see that it is a more thematically complex game.I'm not knocking the first game. The first game executes its theme TRULY perfectly.But this game is so much more complicat...

@nodima: okay. I hear you. I did not want to be taken away from Ellie at that moment either. The game wants you to feel that way too. But the game is also being structurally experimental here, too. An...

The thing that makes this game so impressive is it actually has something to say. So did TLOU1, but the message was much more straight forward. Which helped it resonate with so many people (me, includ...

@ragnar_mike said: @drbroel: After everything I've seen and heard, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a very straightforward analogy that interpersonal connections are what keep us grounded and that...

I'm also curious about what people thought the boat on the title screen signified. I knew it was going to play into the end of the game in some way. SPOILER

Does anyone else feel this way? With the pre-release talk about how this was an incredibly brutal and depressing story. Did that make you think it was going to end up much worse than it actually did?A...

@kyniro said:@drbroel: I don't want to sound like a butt, but think you're just grasping at straws. Technically anything can happen in any sort of world in fiction. What if a giant unicorn came from ...

Maybe they thought wearing badges scare people from messing them. Like they aren't some randos walking around. Plenty of soldiers in history have done this.Also, they just completely underestimated El...

@kyniro: Just because character acts dumbly or irrationally doesn't mean there's a plot hole. Smart people can make dumb decisions. Composed people can act irrationally. The game shows many times that...

@kyniro: I think Owen's character arc explains your plot holes. The rest of the group wants to kill Ellie but Owen stops them. He and Abby are their leaders but Owen is the least invested in this miss...

@milkman: I think that's a pretty honest criticism, if not entirely fair to what this game is trying to say and accomplish. Although I do keep seeing people say the game has the overly simple theme of...

It's a far more complicates story than the first game. Narratively and thematically. That's a good thing. It will just take people time to come to terms with story and what it does. The parts that mad...

@curiosus said:@drbroel said: I want to say. To anyone who has a conscience. Don't support Activision and Blizzard. Don't buy their games. Don't use their services.Their implicit support of the bruta...

Now that this tread has devolved into: "if you buy The Last Of US: Part 2, you are a shitty person"I want to say. To anyone who has a conscience. Don't support Activision and Blizzard. Don't buy their...

@curiosus: Crunch is bad.Insulting the victims of Crunch because they are proud of their work is bad, TOO.Stop insulting low-level workers who are proud of the thing they made.
