That's why I said the low score clickbait sites not the well established ones and my comment was in response to the OP anyway who made the suggestion that a high score could only come from a site trying to make a name for itself. Now where do we stand on Waypoint, since you posted their slam review are we pretending they're established and reputable or was it just the first site you found with the most damming title?.
Oh no now what I'm I supposed to do if I cant take this video game seriously? Zombies cant be threatening cause its 2019? These attempts at finding things to hate on in this game are getting ridiculous now.
"when mostly every other site has given this game a mediocre score."
51 positive reviews on meta, 33 mixed and 2 negative that's not "mostly every other site" so please check your facts before spreading false information. Just because this site seem to be content to post mostly the negative reviews that doesn't mean that's all there is.
The game actually seems better than some of these mediocre reviews/reviewers. The quote you included is proof of the problem with game journalism now anybody with a computer and internet access can pretend to be a game journalist nowadays.
There's a particular fan base here that doesn't like the truth but its fine they can down vote all they want down votes don't bother me and are literally meaningless.
Oh I see so the negative ones were from people who completed it but no way the positive ones are, that's a clever argument, completely groundless of course but clever.

There are 51 positive reviews on meta and only 2 blatantly obvious extremely negative reviews which are clearly there just to lower the overall score the game isn't even close to being a bomb, clearly you dont know what that even means but none of us can say we're surprised you're trolling.
Doesn't really matter to anyone who "didn't play the first game", for those that did they know TLOU is more than just a zombie game and it wont have any issue standing out.
Then what does he mean by ugly? If the main characters morality wasn't an issue he wouldn't have mentioned it, yet the history of storytelling is filled with morally flawed characters, its not a valid reason to hate on the game it just came off as grasping at straws to find reasons to be critical.
But you've played it for 20 hours to find that out huh? LOL. The more of these obvious reviews I read the more I cant wait to play this game. I mean people have seen the game running if you're going to clickbait with your phony review at least dont use the word "ugly" everyone can see its anything but that. Also chastising a game because a character is morally flawed, really, that's what game "journalism" has become now? Then again when you have to grasp at str...
