you remeber when everyone thought sully died in uncharted but it was all a swerve, maybe Joel doesnt actually die and the pictures of the grave were just a way to throw everyone off, maybe Ellie assumes hes dead but he shows up at the end, everyone is speculating on very little actual footage.

Yes and Joel keeps getting his head bashed in repeatedly after he's already dead.

Anyone keeping track of the memes on /thelastofus2?

Some of them are absolutely gold.

That didn't happen in Red Dead.

When the voice actor who plays Joel comes out and asks for people to have an open mind about the game, that points to huge changes to certain characters.

Nope, you play as John Marston after Arthur Morgan.

So are people upset about the Abby character?

[Zak2000]

It's bit more if you looks closely on what Neil Druckmann's self-insert does and have followed his agenda or read his past tweets. How does spitting on Joel honors the character (his words from the latest special)?

Who has the time for that? Why do I care to read his past tweets. It is a game move on with your life.

I care because I adore the first game. But in the end, you're just a casual about this, therefore I can't blame you for not knowing the finer details. If you like the game in the end then it's great. But for many it will be definitely an absolute rude wake-up call.

Why is this even claimed by copyright when it’s an animated parody, with no dialogue or music of the game?

[VictoryAtNight]

I’m going to buy my copy at either Amazon or Target.

[Zak2000]

The first three hours are online to watch.

Last of Us 2 - YouTube

[Talal86]

skimmed this, the graphics are insane. but the first couple of hours are mostly cutscenes and walking..

the leaks weren't out of context

[Pounder]

Sucks how Joel saved Abby and she still kills him.

[MosHighDef]

Skill Up just slammed this game, comparing the writing/story to season 8 of Game of Thrones, and the Disney SW trilogy, namely deconstructing everything you knew about the characters you loved. The story is pretty much a generic revenge tale, or so he describes, with big plotholes.

Like everyone under embargo, there are no spoilers, or story reveals, but he does his best to explain why he feels this way. I'm especially disappointed in the gameplay (overall) he describes, and how it doesn't evolve, but rather devolves.


I like his reviews, even though he can come across like he's smelling his own farts in drawn out introductions lol. I didn't for second think he was slamming this to get clicks/be cliche anti SJW, but I went back and watched his take of TLOU 1 anyway. He really captured what made it special, especially in this timestamped clip where Joel's walls come down. The feels man!

Awesome. I loved the new SW trilogy so this is gonna be great! And 69 9.5-10/10 ratings and crazy awesome amounts of preorders? Sounds like this will be a huge hit! Man, I can see Druckmann getting a promotion....


Skillwho?
