People who beat TLOU Part 2, what's your rating from playing it?

[Fatboi1]

This thread will be to see at least on here, the ratings from those who PLAYED and beat it.

Anyone who's vocal and gave it an extremely low score should post their PSN profile so we can see if the receipt checks out. If you claimed you watched a few videos or streams, even all the way through the end your opinion on the game is null and void. I already know of a few who will rate low but didn't actually play it lol.

I'd give it a 9.5/10 personally. Lack of MP(as of now) and a certain someone in a flashback yelling had me dying of laughter took the seriousness of the scene down imo

I had no issue with Abby and understood what they were going for.

Gameplay was sublime. Anyone saying otherwise must have their opinion discarded.

Audio- The terror that enters a room when letting off some of these weapons is second to none.

Graphics-For a PS4 game in 2020, it looked fukking great. obvious technical issues aside, it looked great for the hardware.

9/10
slight pacing issues but still a classic

9.5/10

Generation defining graphics. exceptional sound design, great voice acting, great soundtrack, fluid gameplay, fun and intelligent AI, intense moments, extremely well designed levels, interesting and engaging story full of twist and turns. Only flaw I can think of is, I think they should have dived more in on Abby’s relationship with her father.

does my opinion count if I watched someone play the last 5 minutes of the game?

a game can not be bad because you don’t like the story. It just can’t be

8. Gameplay is fantastic. But story left me bitter.

8/10

fantastic voice acting, level design, animation, graphics


Felt the story was poorly executed and had excessive human combat gameplay loop that completely desensitize the narrative themes and it's moments. Excessive flashblacks. Weak pacing due to poorly executed narrative. I felt the game needed way more isolation and sorrow in the 2nd half to really settle the emotional weight. The nonlinear narrative felt very contrived and gimmicky that does a lot of forced sympathy. The game completely steps away from the foundation of the original game which was based on realism. It completely abandon all the rules in the 1st game. So, tt felt more like a Walking Dead Episode than the Last of Us. They write these characters in a way that completely lacks any survival instinct that was paramount in the 1st game to facilitate a forced narrative.

It makes for a great casual experience, but Neil wanted to do a complex narrative.Yet, He completely half ass everything. I like complex narrative driven games, but it created multiple points of failure that Neil completely failed to noticed or didn't care. Spec Ops: The Line is my favorite complex narrative, and it has soo much more weight/gravity/meaning in it's message than this game with half the gore and extreme violence.SO, I'm just more disappointed that the story was so mediocre than it being bad. It was just okay. They didn't take the extra work to make it great. Which I felt is inexcusable. The game's story needed more rewrites and refinement. Neil having complete unchecked creative control set him up to indulge in his flaws.

Haven’t played it yet (I plan to) and I’m not saying that his applies specifically for this game but definitely think you can lower your overall rating for a game if the story isn’t up to par.

However I will say there is a difference between not agreeing with the direction of a story vs shoddy writing/plot holes

if the story isn't a big part of the game then sure.

but if the story is a main draw for a game - like in metal gear solid or final fantasy games - then the story can really hurt the game overall

10/10

I didn’t like certain parts of the story personally, but I also don’t like the way P. Diddy did Shine with different lawyers

I’m saying that you can’t say the game is bad game because of the Story

I’m not talking about people saying it’s a 8 or 9 or whatever

there was people that’s saying this is a bad game because the don’t like the story. Video games don’t work that way

Better than the first. This coming from someone who didn’t think a sequel was warranted and lost damn near all interest when no MP was announced. One of the best story narratives in a video game
