Gameplay aesthetics, graphics, controls, technicality.. the whole thing - 100%. Story? Bombed completely. And I've kept very high hopes that the game would do well after the leaks. I turned the other cheek until the release. What happened to Joel was completely disrespectful and foul. What y'all did to him cannot be undone. I'm surprised that no one in the studio made a fuss urging the developers to go in another direction with his fate. You did him dirty and then just kind of brushed passed his funeral and Ellie's greiving period and then went along with the story like he didn't matter. It just didn't sit right with me. Also, I cannot get into this Abby chick. I'm trying but I can't. I don't know her and frankly don't give a damn about her. Same thing with Dina. It feels like she's just there with Ellie to be a spot filler for Joel, but the problem is she doesn't carry the same weight. So another negative for the game. Also, their relationship is pretty stupid and pointless.. Those two together don't excite me the way Ellie and Joel did in pt. 1. And overall its just boring to play. I mean there are fantastically horrifying scenes and beautiful moments in the game, but what truly drives The Last of Us is the story between Joel and Ellie, and you guys ruined that. I'm not happy with this game. 2 stars.
