I accept that everyone has their own opinions about this game and i think thats why this game is mainly getting so much hate. I really loved this game and the direction they took with the story i think any other way would just result in a game too similar to the original and then would receive more hate.
The combat has changed (not as much as most apparently would like) but you cant make a HUGE change when this is a story based realistic style game (The graphics also look AMAZING). If you play this game for the combat exclusively you are missing out on the bigger story arc. Which i also dont believe is as bad is people are giving it but again thats my opinion.
Overall i loved this game and i hope Naughty Dog continue to make a part 3 and more deep narrative - story rich games of this high quality and style
