Other people? It's almost like you're trying to misunderstand. At the very end, Ellie was killing Abby a few feet away from Lev, just like Abby had killed Joel a few feet away from Ellie. I mean, if your criticism had been that it was too parallel or too "on the nose," I could understand that. But pretending you don't understand and that it's a "random plot switch"? Come on.
The reactions to this game aren't making me reevaluate the game in any meaningful way, they're just making me think that the PlayStation fanbase is a lot more one dimensional than I would have hoped.

She realized she was literally doing to Abby what Abby did to Joel. While a kid that cared a ton about Abby is sitting there injured and helpless.
This isn't difficult to understand.
Yeah based on people talking about it before release, I thought you were mainly going to be fighting Christian fundamentalists. Which would have been fine, just a little tired. But actually it's more like a generic cult, and they aren't even the primary enemies most of the time. This just confirms to me more that many of the people criticizing the game haven't played it.
Game of Thrones kills a key character in a dumb way, and people act like it's the greatest show ever for being so bold and willing to subvert expectations.
Last of Us 2 kills a key character in a way that's crucial to the story and sets up an exceptionally well-told game with a better use of multiple perspectives than anything else I can think of, and people are just mad because they like the character.
And I guarantee you a lot of people complain...
Vice reviews video games?
I'm close to 20 hours in, and I haven't seen anything that comes close to justifying the divisiveness, although obviously I haven't seen the ending yet. Gameplay wise it's clearly a pretty significant step up from the first one.
I'll probably pick this up on the Switch if it runs decently. Switch is a perfect machine to play that game from a few years ago that you either missed at the time or remember fondly and would like to play again. And I don't mean that sarcastically; that's a good thing, haha.
And for all the talk about Crysis just being a graphics showcase, I actually liked the gameplay. Early to mid 2000s PC-first games had a certain design feel that you don't really get an...
Nothing offensive about it. I think we need to stop using the notions of "offending" and "disagreeing" interchangeably. That said, if you enjoy a game, you absolutely should care about sales. If a game you like a lot doesn't sell well, you aren't going to see more games like it, specifically if it's one that one the dev took some risks making. Not to mention you should just want to see people who make good games be financially rewarded for their hard work.
All the more reason I want there to be buzz around it. Sucker Punch has been getting unjustifiably ignored by too many people for too long (That people talked about the Arkham games being the best superhero games without having even played Infamous is unfortunate). I hope this will be the game to remedy that.
This game isn't getting enough attention. Maybe some trolls can decide how much they hate the game before it releases, so there will be a lot of buzz about it. That helped a lot last time.
I understand what you mean, but hopefully it's more like three years rather than five. If studios keep increasing the time between games, we're going to get to the point where each studio can only make one game per generation.
Yep, I have yet to see an instance where it's worth the performance hit.
What you are pointing out is why I think the idea of Series X being $399 at launch is questionable. If they can get Series X to that price, why bother with a cheaper console (which itself is going to require money and resources)? I mean, unless it's going to be $199 at launch, it seems like a waste. It seems like it's going to be a $499/$249-299 situation.
This almost just makes me wish we'd stick with 1080p another gen so that people would actually hit 60 fps. It seems like every gen we move to the resolution standard where many devs can only maintain 30fps.
To be fair I think since the Unreal 5 demo and PS5 reveal the "lolSonySux" contingent has sort of realized the direction things are heading, and the momentum they thought they had after the mediocre Mark Cerny presentation early in the year is pretty much gone. I think the typical Xbox-focused fan actually just doesn't care what the "other side" is doing except to the extent it keeps MS from getting lazy.
Yeah, despite all the complaining about games being in 900p native sometimes this gen, I'm sure there are plenty of XONE and PS4s hooked up to 720p sets.
Yeah, there's no way I'm buying series X, but if this runs games well at 1080p and costs under $300, I'd think about it maybe a year after PS5. They'll need better exclusives than this gen, but considering their studio purchases that shouldn't be a problem.
People are saying that because of the architecture, it will actually outperform X1X. This would be an instance where looking only at TFs is misleading.
There's a 100% chance that you and all the carbon copies of you would have slammed that if it had been the ending. It would have been "there's no resolution, it's so out of character for Ellie, etc."
