]Ihr kapiert wohl nicht, was für Leute die Reviewbombings durchgeführt haben und aus welchen Motiven dies geschah und dass dann auch noch mit "Das muss man in einer gesunden Demokratie aushalten." argumentiert wird, zeigt, dass die Neue Rechte damit erfolgreich war, dass selbst ihre Gegner, zu denen ich euch zähle, aufgegeben haben.
Wir sprechen hier von knapp 50000 negativen Reviews. Diese einmal komplett auf ihren Hintergrund zu beleuchten dürfte wohl weit über einen Fulltimejob hinaus gehen. Ich habe mir tatsächlich die Mühe gemacht zumindest mal die ersten drei Seiten durchzulesen. Sicher waren da diverse Statements von sog. "Neuen Rechten" dabei, aber nicht nur. Ich finde es nach wie vor erschreckend wie jegliche Kritik am Spiel sofort in diese Schublade gesteckt wurde. Kritik gibt es viel häufiger aber am Charakter Abby, der unwürdigen Behandlung bekannter Charaktere (Joel) oder einfach dem Storytelling bzw. Plotholes insgesamt. Was ich aber ebenso oft gelesen habe, das viele hier einfach Sony selber abstrafen, weil eben Magazinen offen mit einer Abstrafung bei schlechter Bewertung gedroht wurde. Ebenso findet man immer wieder die Begriffe Crunch. Man kann wie schon weiter vorne geschrieben sicher darüber streiten ob sowas in ein Review gehört oder nicht. Das jemand wie Druckmann ständig behauptet, jegliche Kritik am Spiel käme aus der Rechten Ecke halte ich schon für recht bedenklich. Hier wird die Kritik grundsätzlich versucht Mundtot zu machen, indem man alle Kritiker in einen Sack steckt. Das hat nichts mit Aufgeben zu tun. Hier geht es schlicht um Verhältnismäßigkeit und die schiere Fähigkeit Kritik inhaltlich zu unterscheiden.
Nur mal ein paar Beispiele die ich rausgesucht habe. Für eine Gesamtbewertung von 50000 negativen Kritiken fehlt mir Zeit und Lust. Und ich glaube auch niemand der behaupten würde, das er dies objektiv einschätzen kann. Dafür sind es in der Summe einfach zu viele!
Good music, great visual style. The average gameplay. But the plot is terrible, especially Abby's line. Change the screenwriter.
It breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. While there were a few genuinely good moments, majority of game filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling. It seems like this game was done by other studio, but its not!!. The basic gameplay has stayed the same (for better or worse), environment puzzles are almost gone. So remove story from the table and you are left with the shallow gameplay that will have you looking for some other game.

So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
The reason is: character development.
If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
I mean she KILLED Joel!
How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
Hell no!
That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

Script terrible, besides the gameplay are great. The thing is that, FOR ME, the story is essential. I play games just for the story, so I can't like this game even if have good graphics. I was waiting more cleverness in the script.

Positives:
-Game play
-Graphics
-Top Tier Animation
-Cut scenes and voice acting
Negatives:
-Characters
-Character development (It's non existent)
-Plot
-The ending
The writing destroys this game. The writer Neil Druckman say this game is about hate and revenge, however, you never get revenge. You're left with a game which is anticlimactic.

I honestly don't think that this game is cannon. It can't be. There are legit so many plot holes and don't get me even started on the characters. But i have to say that the sound quality/soundtrack, graphics and combat is very good. But story-wise it is NOT a good game. Like a wise man by the name of Geralt of Rivia once said: The story is like ordering a pie and finding that it has no filling.

This franchise is all about the story. Without the story the game means nothing. This game does have great visuals and great gameplay, but the main focus needs to be the story. The story just isn’t good and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. And the ending tries so hard to make you feel sad, without making any logical sense.

Amazing graphics, lighting, level design..
Story is utterly disgusting. Characters lost all their charm, intelligence and personnality.
ND just threw an overload of free violence and tell us we are supposed to feel bad. Watch how this game will be used to justify "videogame violence" afterward. I feel bad for half the studio who was shut down for speaking up against this piece of crap on the back of them being "anti-trans" when it was just about the scenario. And the way Sony forces reviewers to give it good score and silence the others is making me sick.

What a waste. I live in Europe, got the game earlier than US.
I must say that I haven't seen any spoilers before I played. The story in 2 is so much worse. Characters are not themselves it's so weird playing this.
After the first couple of hours I almost had no motivation to play it anymore. I just treated it like an uncharted game, which says a lot when this is TLOU2 we're talking about.
Loved the first one, really bored out of my shoes with the second.

The only thing that I really care about in a game is the story, The Last of Us Part II failed miserably in that front.
The only reason this game gets even a 4 is for the graphics, level design, sound design, and score. If you care about the plot, relatable characters, and a good ending, this game is not for you.

As someone who is normally a fan of Naughty Dog games and of the original Last of Us, I feel this game is a slap in the face. If you enjoyed the first game because of the story, characters and relationships, this game is not for you. Due to some questionable story-line choices, the game feels like a slog to get through and tries to force its players into a middle school ethics class rather than engross us in an enthralling story. The graphics are some of the best this generation, but the game-play rarely features anything innovative and feels like more of the same as the first game. Overall, averaging everything out I would give this game a 5/10 and similar to Game of Thrones season 8 and Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker, this is one sequel that will sorely disappoint even its most loyal fans.

Absolute disrespect towards the 1st game. The story and the characters are so horribly written that it doesn't even make me angry anymore, just sad. There is nothing new in the gameplay we haven't seen already in other games. The only thing that's truly great about this game are the graphics. But that's it. The quality of the story rivals the story of Star Wars VIII: The last jedi. And i didn't even mention the forced SJW/gender propaganda (however, these are not the core problems of the game).
Verdict: 4/10 (just because the graphics are amazing).
- If you're looking for a great story, AVOID this game.
- If you're a fan of the story and characters of the 1st tlou, AVOID this game.
- If you don't like it when someone spits in your (or Joel's) face, AVOID this game.
- If you don't care about the franchise and the future of gaming at all and all you seek are the
graphics, buy this game.
