The Last of Us 2

I know there's gotta be some Last of Us fans around these parts. Been 7 years since the first one. The sequel finally drops on the 19th. Saw a few reviews today and some critics are already hailing it as a masterpiece.
Anybody here already plan on getting it?

I just picked it up at Gamestop and I swear I thought this highly irate customer was going to murder the Gamestop employee right in front of us. I walked in towards the end of their exchange but lol damn, customer guy was fucking SUPER heated about something. The employee was calmly asking him to leave but that customer was exploding on him, I really thought the guy was about to just walk up to the employee and

I was like

I'm really interested in hearing what you have to say about it. Were you a big fan of the original? You'll wanna play at least 2-4 hours tonight, that's where I hear people start to get triggered, lol. I honestly want to play despite the press surrounding it, but I'm not sure if I want to fork out retail dollas. I'm a cheap ass when it comes to games. I just bought a ps4 in December lol

You should have stepped in and told them to settle it over a video game of your choice as the unbiased 3rd party

I loved the first one. I played it all the way through twice and I never do that. Hell I barely even ever finish them in the first place. Like I got Red Dead Redemption 2 and like 2 yrs later I'm still working on finishing it

I'll definitely come back and drop my thoughts on it

To my comprehension people are getting triggered on both sides for two different reasons? apparently the game has an ftm trans dude named Lev who used to be Lily, but people who are pro-trans are up in arms that he only exists to be abused; "abuse-porn"
but then on the other side of the coin there are a bunch of people complaining the game has a "tranny" they have to play as because there is a muscular woman -- but she is cisgender, she just has muscles

Yeah, both sides there as well ironically
people complaining about a trans woman in a bikini with a big dick in an in-game advertisement as negative stereotyping of trans women
then people complaining the game was going "too SJW" because you can mix and match female and male faces, bodies and voices of course, the people who complained about that were appeased when they found out the gender controls also meant customizable genitals
at which point there is all sorts of potential area for questions with regards to a number of people focusing on making their dick as big as possible

(Spoilers, major ass spoilers)
I know about Abby and heard rumours about her maybe being trans but I haven't seen anyone complaining about that anywhere. Literally. My understanding of the controversy is a few things and foremost the handling of Joel's arc. Not even necessarily what happens but how they allow it to. Joel saves Abby and then Abby bashes his head in with a 9 iron without even a fair fight. Joel is an intelligent badass and just walks in to a dangerous situation. Compound that with all the DMCA strikes and little things like Ms. Sarkeesian gallantly influencing them to make Ellie uglier and other sad little woke points it's just turned in to something that's getting a lot of hate from a lot of different directions. Trans stuff though? Nah.. not so much. People hate Abby because she's obnoxious and makes decisions that either dont make sense or generally piss people off. There's a lot about the story that is kind of shoehorned in and that was never what the original felt like. It felt real and organic while still maintaining a sense of dread enough to dangle on the little glimmers of hope it gave you. This one the writing is just inconsistent and not as on point as the original and the OG TLOU was all story when it came down to it. Thanks, "Goin-in-dry" Druckmann, lol.
All that being said I've heard a ton of praise. The graphics, the gameplay, the little immersive nuances, the environments ect. I really want to play it even though I know so much about it.
