SPOILER ALERT Dear Neil Drunkmann Hi sir I hope everything on your end is fine and your family as-well. Sir I’m writing to you today to express my feelings on the game you created, last of us 2. Sir I really had high hopes for this game but I’m really disappointed so far. I have played almost halfway through the game. But during my time playing this game is not like anything of the 1st game. There is no Joel and Ellie loving relationship but only a few segments. Which those parts of the game I loved. But I feel no impact as I did with the first game. The reason I loved last of us 1 was because the game was about what it means to be a human. In terms of expressing grief, emotions, love, pain. And how each of these moments make us appreciate those we have. This was the case of Joel and Ellie in the story for the 1st game. But with the 2nd game Joel is hardly their in the game, so I can’t feel that love. Dina, Maria, Tommy, Jessie are great characters and I do like them but is missing the compassion of Joel. Secondly sir, I feel you falsely advertised the trailers because before the leaks the trailers showed that Joel was going to be with us in the journey of the game but that was not the case. And instead we had to play as Abby who which I did not want to play due to what she did to Joel. And I have to say, in the game opening in the 4 years later segment with Ellie. Was poorly done because it felt the game was trying to tell 2 stories at once and lacked that impact like the 1st game with Joel and Sarah scene. And it was all over the place. Sir I’m truly disappointed by you and your team. This hurts me to say this as I loved the Uncharted Series and last of us 1. I expected a story of care and impactful storytelling. But we instead got no love, hardly any Joel, poor emotional moments, segments that are all over the place/sloppy, forced to play/care for certain characters, poor character development and finally losing the theme of what it means to be a human being as the 1st game did. In conclusion, I’m still playing the game but as of right now I’m disappointed by you and Naughty Dog as I do not expect poor games and storytelling by you and your team. I don’t know if this game will ruin your reputation and brand of Naughty Dog due to your poor performance. But next time you should do a test run of any games in the future and you sir need to take a break on making any games as you sir should learn from the mistakes you have created in this new game. Sir I understand if you wanted to tell a story of the cycle of revenge but this was poorly executed and lacked the power of the 1st game. Sorry if this was harsh and you may not see my DM but I fell I had to express, this as a fan to you sir.
