The Last of Us Part 2 - New Trailer Contains Spoilers

Story complaints aside, the attention to detail and the animation is top-notch. Even the horse’s tail moves more realistically than anything I’ve ever seen before.

It all just makes me more excited for next gen.

Yeah, it also makes the few animations that don't match the quality of the rest of them stand out more too :) I saw Joel riding up on a horse in a cinematic and it looked really weird :)

One other little detail that I appreciate that so many games have stopped doing this gen is having water run down the walls when it rains, I missed that lol, now games just make a wall look wet and that's it but ever since Gears 1 when they had water running down the trees/walls I look for it in every game lol.

I'd love to see this get some PS5 upgrades, btw I'm enjoying it more the further I'm getting into it the action starts picking up more which helps.
 
They did a great job with the expressions on the dogs faces and with the eyes.

The Last of Us Part 2 sales smash record to become Sony’s fastest-selling PS4 game ever

So despite story leaks, delays and other controversies, The Last of us 2 still becomes Sony's fastest selling PS4 game and that's without taking into account digital sales.
 
Just beat it. Didn't love the ending, but I don't know if it deserves the outrage I've seen levied at it. A very well made game, I'm sure I'll play it again on NG+, but I'll give it a while before diving back in...

Yeah a lot of the spoiler stuff was misrepresented early on, things like the "religious group" which is really a cult, there were Christians acting as though they are always the victims etc when it has nothing to do with their religion at all. It's also not a story about Gay acceptance, she is gay and that's it, they aren't preachy about it at all it's just her story.

I don't get anger towards these things, that being said I can understand people having a hard time identifying with some of the characters though, it was easy for a lot of guys to see themselves as Joel while playing the first game, they could put themselves in his shoes, it's a tougher sell when it's a 19 year old lesbian with her bisexual girlfriend who's ex boyfriend is still in the picture somewhat (not a spoiler that was in the E3 trailer a couple of years ago) even though I'm gay I found it much easier to relate to Joel in the first game than I do Ellie in this game.

This game had nearly impossible shoes to fill, that being said I think a lot of the negativity we see online is being overblown.

Hahaha, I avoided all discussion of spoilers and didn't look at much of the outrage, just knew people weren't happy about some things but didn't know what, but if some of it was christians playing the victim again that is hilarious. I dealt with a few of those types when I was following FC5 and it was utter nonsense.

That's the problem. Not everyone is allowed to have views.
Only those who agree with the agenda.
If I don't agree with these types of things... I am a monster and am hateful.

So I've played and beaten the game now, spoilers are fair game, so what was it exactly you found so offensive about this game? I don't even know what agenda you think the game was pushing. I am hoping you take the opportunity to express your views in a judgement free environment.
 
f***ing love this game. Will finally be able to look at the leak controversy once I beat the game. Only thing I knew is that some were claiming a sjw agenda and I'm not seeing anything sjw worthy at all.

Is it hard? I could easily see me myyself as 19 year old lesbian:hehe:

And shocked at the leaks being misrepresentative, who knew parts of a story cobbled together without proper context coulld be misleading.

We don't have a no holds barred judgment free environment so I won't.
 
Time to dust off the PS4 Pro and play this game. I was skeptical at first because of the SJW controversy surrounding the game. Sounds like it isn't what the sensationalists made it out to be.

I'd wait a little longer. From what I can tell tge story goes to s*** in the second half. Might be best to wait untill folks have finished it and have a better overall impression.

I actually like the 2nd half better than the first, I guess everyone has different taste in games lol.

There were even people claiming there wouldn't be any infected or that we wouldn't see them often lol. One thing this game does keep from the first one is the sense of tension when you go into an area full of infected.

I'm soooooooo glad this game is selling extremely well. Those people who scream the loudest don't speak for everyone. And I'm also really happy about so many people picking up the game to experience it for themselves rather than letting the opinions of others dictate their purchase for them.

It seems like some gamers can't make up their own minds and let others tell them what game to get and how they should feel. By all means check out footage of gameplay and peek at story details but I wouldn't put too much stock in someone else's opinion when it comes to story because its so subjective. I'm the only expert on what I like and to make that determination I need to experience the story for myself.

For the record I haven't picked this game up yet. I'm playing other games right now. But I'm super happy for its sales success.
