The Last of Us 2: 96% on Metacritic

The score will obviously come down but from the reviews it looks like an epic masterpiece.

Anyone buying?

I thought a lot of people were pissed off at it?

A lot of the youtubers my brother likes (he uses my login, which makes his subs show on my feed) have a lot of videos bitching about it ... I know I could just watch one of them but I can't stand "talk to the camera" youtubers :joker:

If they’re pissed it’s because of the delay, the embargo’s first reviews have only been lifted this morning so what on Earth can they be pissed about?

Maybe they were really looking forward to it? As far as I know the first one was almost universally loved.

That makes no sense

Pissed off at the leaks I thought?

they made some edits apparently, based upon response from the leaks

No chance they had time to change it

This guy couldn't praise it enough.

Hmm. Depends how accurate the leaks were, whether or not they were taken out of context, and whether or not there's much more to the game and story that means it can be overlooked. I haven't actually read the leaks though, I'm determined to go in totally blind and make my own judgement on this one.

Also a chance that it plays well enough for storyline criticisms to take a back seat in the review score? Sort of a, "The story didn't go how I would have liked, but the game is excellent". Unless the plot is full of holes, largely absent, or the voice acting is terrible... I don't think a good reviewer can base their score on storyline TOO heavily. It's far too subjective a measure to be like "A technical masterpiece, pinnacle of the genre for gameplay, perfect moment-to-moment action... But I didn't like the story so 75%"

The story that was leaked is...


Well. Yeah.

The capital G gamers will be raging about it, they're still mad that there's a muscly woman in the game since apparently, women can't be muscular... Gamers.... I just can't.

I don’t think the score will come down when there’s like 80 reviews already

I had a look on google and the character does look a bit like a bloke :laugh:

That can't be all they're "raging" about, surely?

She's a muscular woman that doesn't turn on gamers so her existence in the game is an affront to them for some reason, they're also still mad that Ellie is a lesbian because anything that diverse in any way is 'political' and should be avoided in gaming....although the people who believe that will champion games that are deeply political without realising their hypocrisy.

'Political' is a buzzword for diversity to those people. Anything gay, non-white or anything featuring a female character that isn't dressed in revealing straps is an attack on these gamer's rights.

You might as well just spoil the whole damn thing smh, you’re not making it very subtle as to what I’m guessing the leaks were about now :rolleyes:

I've not played the first one so I'm not bothered about spoilers, I googled around and apparently

I’ve deleted the post Hayden.

I saw several things that people were angry about so I felt I was being fairly vague. My bad.

Alright thank you. Hopefully I forget by the time I start playing :laugh: or it isn't what I think

I pre-ordered this from shopto and it BETTER ****ing arrive before friday or oliver or you’re getting throat punched

They said i had to choose tracked delivery because there was a massive backlog for regular deliveries so they were only offering tracked (i got 48 hour tracked bc 24 was like £4 extra or something like that)

Anyway girls prayer circle so that it arrives before friday

I'm guessing it didn't arrive? :hehe: mine is pre-downloaded and ready to unlock at midnight :hee:.

It came

Omg, i've started playing and the graphics are gorgeous. Just had a snowball fight with some annoying kids. lol

Is it me or does Owen look like Danny Dyer? :laugh:

I think I'll get this next week.

It's being review bombed hard by fragile incels and neckbeards which is to be expected from gamers tbh. So many of them fight to ensure the stereotypes remain true.
