It was hated by a good number of game reviewers for that reason. I think it was the IGN review specifically that pointed out he was a straight white male and hated the protagonist and his story because of it.

Personally I enjoyed it. I also like Sam Witwer as a VA. So him motion capping and voice acting the protagonist was cool.

Did have allot of technical issues on release tho. Also were quite a few framerate issues. All of which hurt it on release.

But you will probably not encounter any of those issues if you are playing on PC.
I thought it was because of the bugs during launch and some went out of their way to aim deacon isn't nearly as well written as Arthur Morgan and Joel. I haven't beat it, but i love the story so far

Or the ps5 port could be a director’s cut type of thing.
That would imply that there actually was anything removed from the game aside from the option of actually killing Abby at the end.

Which never, ever will get added in at this point if only to spite everybody who actually WOULD take the option.

Abby is Druckman's waifu, after all, the game was supposed to glorify her. She literally got everybody around her killed except the kid who is an insult to the trans people they were supposed to represent (it extremely comes off that Lev is only doing the 'pretends they're the other gender' to get out of being effectively a baby factory...despite not even being with that group before the game even starts).

Funny you say that since, given they are similar contexts, Levi is pretty much doing a Mulan out of need instead of choice. There is nothing to indicate Levi would have choose this for herself if things were any different and that she just wont "change" back into a woman once all attachments to the cult are gone.

So at best she is as "tranny" as Mulan is.

What a fuck up at representation

Im playing days gone right now and this game is badass as fuck
why was so hated? because the protag is a straight white male instead of cuckman´s band of degenerates?

Everyone I talked to said "Its fine, but its nothing spectacular. Besides the biking, you've played this game before."

It was not the review, but the preview for IGN by Jon Ryan.


Some other "Journalists" took offense to the "whiteness" of Deacon as well. This article lists them. They also took offense to the zombies.

Shit like this is the evidence that, if there is a zombie apocalypse, there will be zombie rights activists.

They will literally force people to hug non white zombies so they will let go of their "racist phobias". We are gonna get a ton of activist psychopaths ala Dead Rising

Trust me. I got addicted to the gameplay loop and have sperged about this before. The gameplay is so much fun. The story is so forgettable and the love protagonist plot becomes unbearable. Deacon starts fun/cool...and never goes anywhere. He stays a 'clumsy' merc. type with no development and the story literally tries to go places. Each new character you're introduced to becomes less interesting despite their pithy attempts to make you care.

The camp system? Yea...that goes nowhere. Its just a glorified Shop Rep system.

Again the gameplay is super fun and I ended up beating the 'hordes' before they were introduced within the story. The terror of passing through the tunnels? The exploration? All super fun. The gameplay is what holds the game together / atmosphere is nice.

But holy shit will you stop caring about the plot something fierce. Its almost like the missions get in the way of playing the game and you're merely doing them to complete the checklist and 'potentially' unlock more things.

Well, out of nowhere they finally released the PS5 patch. Wonder what took so long.

The Last of Us Part II - Enhanced Performance Patch | PS5

So that pretty much kills off one part of the "TLOU1 remake/TLOU2 multiplayer/TLOU2 enhanced" bundle theory.
It is absurd how long this took especially knowing that the PS5 enhances the PS4 games automatically. Literally all that Cuckmann needed to do was unlock the framerate of the game. Took what, 10 months? For a 5 minute job. Zero optimization or any other changes for the code beyond the aforementioned unlock needed.

And as you said, the TLOU2 fanclub cope that "s-surely this means that he is bundling the 60 fps with a ton of other stuff!!" (because otherwise ND and Cuckmann are hilariously incompetent, which as it now turns out is exactly the case) was false. No TLOU1 port, no DLC, no other changes, no Multiplayer, nothing.

As I said, TLOU2 is obviously the last game Cuckmann ever releases. At this rate a new game would take 10+ years minimum. He will quit out of boredom if nothing else.

The last game he ever releases will be TLoU1 remake with his creative changes made, which will be received extremely poorly by everyone but game journos

I just want to see how Ratchet and Clank does, this would mean insomniac put out 3 games within 5 years that all did well. Compared to Naughty Dog who took a gorillion years for one.

The Miles Moralas Spiderman game even outsold TLOU2 at this point with it being the most popular PS5 game.

I know most on here don’t trust jason schreier as far as he can be trown, but I doubt he was full of shit when it comes to the remake, he wouldn’t have made an article otherwise. And dlc was always never gonna happen because it was ruled out over a year ago. And we will probably see factions at the next Sony showcase and based on this https://www.naughtydog.com/greenhouse/job/2937118?gh_jid=2937118 it seems that it is still coming. The ps5 port of part 2 will probably be a director’s cut type deal with extra content/the story being in a different order and that’s probably how they are gonna sell it with the remake. And if is sold on its own, I suspect it will be like the Spider-Man ps5 port and sold for like 20$ or something with it being free if you buy the remake.

not if it's hardcoded to 24 cinematic fps and unlocking it breaks everything because everything's tied to it. it's pretty common for console games.

I don't know know if this comparison video of Balan Wonderworld, to The Last of Us 2, is either funny, or sad:


And to think that one of the worst platformer games to have come out in recent times, would be better than Neil Druckmann's 200+ award "Masterpiece". I'm also waiting on the inevitable TLOU2 stan counter-video about how TLOU2 is so much better than Balan Wonderworld.
