Some of yall just like to follow other people instead of thinking for yourselves, you know I don't necessarily agree with some things when it comes to gay and transgender people but it hasn't bothered me at all with this game you have a problem if you let something like that dictate if you like the game I have enjoyed every minute of it so far, I'm only a few hours in and there's so much to explore and find that I'm enjoying taking my time with it, the character development has been fine to me And I'm enjoying the combat to and the story is fresh and not just a rehash and I like that, I like the fact Naughty Dog has taken some risks with this game, I'm not bothered with how they killed of Joel either takes guts to do that honestly I enjoyed him in the first game but again I like something new as well, I encourage yall to look past the negative reviews and try it for yourself don't let other people dictate if you enjoy the game or not cause it's likely some of these people haven't even touched the game or played it themselves.
