People are actually defending this game to justify their purchase of paying full price for it. It will be in the bargain bin real soon! The pace and story is trash. Who wrote this!? All the characters are doing stupid things they would never do. The game has not improved at all. Minor adjustments and this is supposed to be a modern game. Nothing revolutionary. They force you to play a buff male/female character that destroys every one. The hated for Joel is real in this game. They slapped the entire fan base. If you are a fan and actually cared about the story and lovable character from the first one. This will destroy you. You have been warned. The journal and shill media do not like you! They only care about themselves and see you as a threat. They are lying to about this game being a 10/10 to avoid the backlash. Pay with your own wallet if you have respect for yourself.
