Because they prioritize their self esteem more than a great game .
I call bullshit. Ya’ll started creating this “Joel is iconic most loved and nostalgic” character idea since shit hit the fan with leaks, and it just got worse from there. Joel was, wholeheartedly, not one of the most beloved characters in gaming. Lemme just say that. He was fantastically received. Great great character. And he and Ellie have become quite iconic. But this sudden harping on about him AFTER the leaks was just so blatant and out of no where, I kid you not. He had his fans, but not to the extent the lot of you go on about him now. Weird. And he can absolutely be used as a plot device. Why not? Oh you guys WANTED to know he was gonna die but you wanted it to happen at the end of the game, on YOUR terms. Sounds pretty boring and expected. I loved his character. But I’m in no way hysterical about it as some guys in here have been acting. And I’d like to understand that. Why does everyone else who liked the character act crazy about him dying.....but I have no problem with it? I genuinely loved the character. Even the basic average male design of him.People didn’t like one of the most beloved characters of last generation (perhaps all time gaming) being used as a simple plot device.
Anybody that played the game (and it has the best completion rate of any game in PlayStation 4) can see:
- The revenge cycle theme is fantastic.
- The story is deep and keep you engaged to know what it will happen next.
- Characters are great with it own complications with amazing development (I can't find one to be bad).
- The gameplay is again flawless... it is perfection.
- The enemy variety is now way better.
- The weapons and craft items are way better than original.
- The world and environment are fantastic.
- Side activities are great.
- It humanizes all sides... it is impactful and emotionally driven.
The game is everything a sequel should be.
It is a must to play even if you get down due violence.
So I really can't understand the hate some GAFers has with one of the best games ever created.
PS. I really can't even understand the political controversy... I really can't see politics in the game... maybe because I'm not American? I don't know.
Edit - Making this thread just me miss even more Factions MP... I blamed ND for that and I will continue doing that because that decision was utter shit.
OP, you’ll be shocked to know that not everyone that meets this criteria regards the game as the masterpiece that you do.Anybody that played the game (and it has the best completion rate of any game in PlayStation 4) can see:
People had pretty high praise for the first game along with the left behind DLC. He was interesting because of he was imperfect and had just enough hints of his less than stellar past.I call bullshit.

You're in a thread created by a op who is crying for 2 days straight now that TLOU2 didn't win an award.The sheer depth of the enmity some people have for the game is really striking. People like that arch-neckbeard fuckwit that presents himself as The Quartering are still making videos about it! Its incredible how long this thing has been living rent-free in their heads for.
The big laugh of course is the way the game is treated like some paragon of virtue signalling, a ludicrous statement given that by design literally noone in the game is shown as being truly virtuous! Its the entire point of the story after all.

You people are way worse than the quartering
Don't bring space wizards with lazer swords into this.Cope: The thread
If you didn't enjoy it, you must Hate it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is easily one of your dumbest posts on neogafAbby was divisive in her design and in addition she killed the beloved protagonist of the first game. So it's a double whammy - ugly woman murders Joel in cold blood and then you're forced to play as her, watch her have sex etc.
I say it triggered the people on the right pretty hard.
I loved the game and I think it's definitely the best game of the year so far, maybe of current generation even in terms of impact and themes and how it manipulated you into empathising with such a character.
But for those who can't it's tough, it's very tough. So yeah, it's a test of empathy and openness and if you don't have it in you you'll hate the whole thing.
ND could've avoided 90% of criticism if Abby was slimmer with bigger boobs (think Miranda from ME2) and I think most people know it subconsciously. But to me, that's the genious of TLOU2 because it forces you to hate her so very much.

Your point?People were crying when TLOU won Player Choice Award a few days prior.
Your point?
Did anyone feel the need to make this thread after TLOU2 won something? No. We just accepted it won, told a few jokes and moved on.
But God forbid when it loses. People now need to explain why they dislike a game, as if it is a crime or something. Like I said. TLOU2 fans are the fucking worst of this year by far
The story is deep and keep you engaged to know what it will happen next.
The same hate happened when TLOU2 won the people choice award in the other award just few days before.You're in a thread created by a op who is crying for 2 days straight now that TLOU2 didn't win an award.
You people are way worse than the quartering
People haven't moved on.
You still see people making videos about how about the last of us because they're upset.
You would get sales threads about the last of us just to prove how the game flopped when it didn't.
Any positive TLOU threads gets the same haters trolling the thread. lol
Thank you!People didn’t like one of the most beloved characters of last generation (perhaps all time gaming) being used as a simple plot device.
This too.The basic structure of the narrative is incompetent and amateurish at a fundamental level.
Yes, because some people don't like the game.The same hate happened when TLOU2 won the people choice award in the other award just few days before.
It is not related to who won or lose actually.
You played the first game as a demonThey killed off the best character, made you play as a demon, far too long, and far too much social commentary.
At this point I'm worried about all Sony firsts parties regarding woke stuff.People should be concerned what Naughty Dog will do with the Uncharted franchise. God knows that's next in line to be given the woke treatment.
Because it's all 4chan's fault!!Yes, because some people don't like the game.
Why is this so difficult to understand. Why does this have to be a thing we need to study?
