@KratosMD What’s happening is that the loudest voices are drowning out any discussion. YouTube has always had problems with negativity spreading way faster than anything else. Reddit on the other hand has had a hugely positive response to TLOU2, with most negativity drowned out by thousands of positive posts about how much people liked the game. There was a concerted attempt to sink the game before it even came out, just look at how many ‘leaks’ were proven to be false. First it was that the game focused on killing homophobic Christians, then Abby was trans, then Anita Sarkeesian worked on it, then Neil Druckmann was scanned and mocapped, then they paid for all those reviews. None of that was true but it spread among a group of people who made it their life’s work to sink the game. The review bombing just proved it.
@KratosMD Fextralife game one of the best reviews of this game.
@nessisonett But those leaks/rumors are not the reason so many people do not like it. All people that I have watched are not liking it after finishing the game they bought. Creating safe bubbles is not good.
"None of that was true but it spread among a group of people who made it their life’s work to sink the game." This is some conspiracy stuff right there. Look at things without bias.
Just watch the Fextralife review. It is good and it gave the game 5.8.
I too do not understand the 0/10 so we can all agree on that.
@KratosMD If what's wrong with the game is related only to the story, those who are actually playing the game obviously don't want to have it spoiled.
I'm 15 hours in and all I can say is that the game is technically wonderful, the controls work perfectly, the AI is great, the voice acting is excellent and the story so far is very good. Even if I'll find out that Ellie is a reptilian sent to definitely destroy planet Earth or an android coming from the future to save it with her superpowers, the game will still deserve a positive vote thanks to all its other merits.
@KratosMD Thanks for avoiding spoilers! @Octane Imagine if Naughty Dogs start releasing post-game content just to make fun of all this mess! YOu could assign Joel skin to Ellie's character, so you can play as the old hero; then you realize he'd a love story with Dina, so you assign a female clicker to Dina's characters; then you realize the clicker dialogues line are not so good...
@nessisonett I don't think any actual GAMEPLAY leaks were proven to be false. All the other stuff, well that's the internet in a nutshell. Although, thinking that Abby is trans can be easily excused... quite the rare, unusual physique for a woman.

Top 5 Indies I'd recommend you try: #1 Lovecraft's Untold Stories, #2 Moonlighter, #3 Hotline Miami, #4 Inside, #5 Into the Breach.
This has probably been brought up, but that special ring you find, the Uncharted reference one, has 6 numbers on. If you input them as coordinates, you get Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Possible hint of the setting for UC5? 🤔
@Matroska Hmm could be. I thought there was a tiny hint somewhere in the game about a possible Sci-Fi game in the future. I'm pretty sure Naughty Dog have talked about that before sometime
Minor spoiler for a section in TLOU 2 - In the space museum bit Ellie talks about going to the moon and she said "one day" Possibly reading way too much into that but when it happened it was the first thing I thought
@roe I love finding little bits like this. If it's really foreshadowing, that's clever marketing. Just imagine you could take it literally. Ellie playing a role in that rumored spacegame!

@KratosMD As @andreoni79 mentions most people who are playing the game from here are not going elsewhere to read up about this game as they do not want the game spoiled and would rather find out about the game naturally by playing it, and make their own mind up about whether they enjoyed the game.
After I beat the game I will read a few reviews and watch some youtube discussions about the game, usually from a few selected trusted places, and not some random youtuber whose opinion i would not value in the first place anyway.
It is still a vocal minority sounding off about the game, if you think about the millions of copies this game has sold. A few thousand is still a small percentage, and even if it is that many there are over 70,000 user reviews on metacritic. How many of those are actually reviews that are worthwhile reading or whose opinion that we know that are valid?

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
those trading cards you can find realy are well detailed for just being a collectable.
with ND having shared some interest in a Sci-Fi before,it would not suprise me if those cards are a way to tease that project. maybe a game set in the universe of those cards?
@jdv95 Could be but sone of them are just Easter eggs, like Dr. Uckmann obviously being Neil Druckmann. The Imp is Halley Gross, the other writer, I'd bet. Based on both her appearance and how it describes her relationship with Dr. Uckmann.
Also just did that loooong section where they introduce the dogs and then there's that set piece at the end. Had to stop playing after that, it really burned me out.
I think the final 3 or 4 hours were disappointing, from a story and gameplay perspective. Perhaps I'll change my mind given time but I feel like it's spoiled an otherwise great game.
Looking forward to hearing other people's perspectives over the next few weeks, but right now my initial thought is disappointment. I've gotta be honest. And I was loving it after 20 hours or so.
@KratosMD
Using a company social media account to throw shade at a company they work really closely with seems like an effective way to get sacked. I doubt they got permission to send that message out, probably won't go down too well.
@LieutenantFatman Maybe the grown ups didn't lock their PC when their teenage child was about? Whatever the reason, I agree that is not a good look nor what you expect from a company who you had close ties with in the past.
