yeah with no ps4 am unable to play it myself but really enjoyed Let's Play of the first on youtube and wanted to see where the story goes
am aware of the complaints that you mention in the spoiler tag and would argue that a number of those are fair criticisms coming from connection with the series from the first title
but have also seen all sorts of 0 scores on Metacritic with stuff like "it's just a feminist agenda" "why does every game have to have gay and trans characters these days" "why do I have to play as a tranny" "Ellie sucks because she's a lesbian" (am sure that was revealed in the first?) "the game is good but panders to the left so zero" "too much pandering" "They force you to play a new transgender character, [name]" "Lgbt lgbt lbgt lgbt lgbt lgbt feminism lgbt and **** feminism fenisinm"
then there are news stories with notes tagged on them that they had previously mistakenly called the character trans
to be fair, a number of other 0 reviews do mention the issues you brought up as part of their criticisms while also doing things like criticizing the story more generally but with 24 000 negative reviews to 10 000 positive on metacritic, a lot of the negative reviews are just garbage

Its not shit at all , its different then the first one sure. But im kinda glad they didnt jst try n replicate the first one. Theres nothing about this game thats shit, the game play , mechanics, the huge world to explore ,the story its all awsome , easily one of the best games ive played in years , defanitly does the forst one justice. if you got a vr headset n some good headphones the immersion is fuckin nuts, im gona have an anxiety disorder by the end of this game lol
The people not liking it just because they watched a couple minute spoiler on youtube or dont like the story because its not exactly what they wanted need to get a fucking life . If you like gamin and actually play this game and don't like it theres something wrong with you

I agree. Played it for a couple hours last night and it was a blast. Looking forward to playing again today.

Yeah my bro-in-law was telling me how a lot of people were upset about the story. Now I'm too early into it to speak on the story, but in all honesty I could really give two fucks about the story. I'm here for the gameplay. And the gameplay itself was/is bad ass.

For me the original was all about the story. I had fun playing the game for sure but I was really gripped by the story. I think like a lot of people I've run a lot of these worst case scenarios through my mind and I have kids myself.. idk it really hit home when Ashley died. That whole thing went from wholesome, funny, to intense and then she died and someone suddenly started cutting onions. Then watching that relationship build and Ellie being a funny little smartass. It was like going through the apocalypse with my daughter lol. Is that weird? The story just had so much depth that I haven't played a lot of games like it. Even something like RDR2 which rightfully is praised for its story, it's still more of a story and TLOU presented something personal.

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong, the story from the first one was epic. The story was beautiful. And emotional.
I guess what I meant to say was...in a worst case scenario, like if the story happened to not be good (which so far from what I can tell that's not the case, but again I'm early into it), then to me it would still be worth the money alone for the actual gameplay itself.

The fact that the game had 20,000 something negative reviews before it was released says it all, people just watched part of the story n decided it was shit, thats like reading one page of lord of the rings n saying the book sucks, i just hope this doesnt become a theme for every new game coming out, its just utter nonsense.
I guess homophobes are always gonna hate, If you read some of the reviews 90% are about how it sucks because theres trans n gays , that would suck so much to live your life in that state of mind

The Blind Ass said: WHERE DID MY POAST GO? !
It is in the other thread, just bumped this one due to remembering that my statement earlier had been that there were people triggered by a cis woman they perceive as a "tranny" and Larry had responded that trans stuff (that is mentioned on page after page of reviews despite not being actually reflected in game) was no big deal in complaints about the game then we had a forumer create a whole new Last of Us 2 thread to post a meme complaining about a cis woman he thought was transgender prolly would have plussed the meme in the funnies thread, but on the basis that it is a kid getting caught with a sex scene not due to some fear that the world is ending because a less attractive woman was having sex on screen and his dad was about to panic about tranny porn; as that would not be a logical outcome of hilarity in a sex scene containing a cis woman
meanwhile sex scenes with more conventionally attractive women in video games get applauded by players
