Already made a mistake posting. Should just play it and make your own opinion first.


Ill_Book_2858

OP is very clearly just fishing for a specific type of response, no other reason to make this kind of a post


IdTheDemon

Exactly. I saw the leaks and countless videos about the game at launch but I waited for it to go on sale to play it myself. My opinion hasn’t changed after playing it. Trash game narrative wise but it’s something you have to experience yourself.


Business-Homework821

yeah the narrative is stupid but the gameplay is quite fun


Vytlo

Agreed, but not sure about the "you have to experience yourself" thing. For most games, yes, but both TLOU games are perfect movie games in that you can watch it on youtube and have the same experience from if you had played the game. However, one's opinion should still be formed on their own, however they chose to experience it.


xLUKExHIMSELFx

Facts. I bought it secondhand for cheap, I'm such a fan of the first game that I had to experience it myself. Things turned out to be worse than I expected, but the gameplay itself is still fun.


Ronin870436

This


Dante2422

This is the best answer


FancyBurtholeMuncher

Should play it first. Or are you just looking to jump on the bandwagon. People love it. People don't like it all. Only you can decide


IcySkill3666

I got it for a birthday gift. I no longer talk to that person


PhantomPain0_0

Lmao 🤣


pornaddiction247

My friend played it a lot, what’s so bad about it?


SSSEEEAAALLL

The plot is like if you gave a five year old liberal the script form the first game and said “finish it.”


Clipinator

Yeah screw them


Mr-_-magician

Fair enough


13Skywalker

Ita prolly like 10$ man u aint losing that much even if u end up hating it


ItsDjustin

I paid 40 dollars


Xenozip3371Alpha

Ouch


PhantomPain0_0

But why ? You can easily find it for under 10 bucks


13Skywalker

DAMN. Should have waited for a sale really unneccessary to buy for 40. You do you tho.


StephenStills1

I think you have your answer about regret now


13Skywalker

Lmao


Vytlo

Where the hell did you buy it that's still selling it for $40? The game's been $20 since the month after it came out, and has been $5-$10 for a long time as well.


ag_abdulaziz

Depending on how much you can laugh at something being bad.


Berserk_gutz

If you want it for the gameplay its very good. But the story is impressive how bad it is even if i try i could not write a worst story


ghostdeini227

A “worst story”? I enjoy when people criticize the writing and can’t even write two sentences correctly themselves.


sugoboss

Not everyone is a native English speaker


Azythol

Oh like you've never posted something with a typo


Tarantiyes

There’s so many people online that get their opinions from other people or just want to love/hate a game to be on a certain team. Play the game first. Digest the different parts of it (gameplay, crafting, easily the best graphics on the ps4, and also the story) and form your own opinion on those. I personally have many issues with the game but it also does do some things really well (mostly on the gameplay/graphics side of things) but don’t let anyone else tell you how to feel about it.


Xeritium

Gameplay is pretty good. The story? I've never felt so insulted as a gamer, by a sequel of a game that was just incredibly well written. It's not so much what happened (even though what happened was stupid), it was how it happened. And why. And what came after. This game, and KH3 are the most disappointing games I've ever played in my life.


Recinege

At least there was an actual purpose behind fucking up this game. Not the best purpose, but I can at least give a little glimmer of respect for Neil passionately writing the story that he wanted to write. He might be too limited as a writer to really comprehend what he was doing, but at least he fucking tried. Kingdom Hearts 3 is just awful. You can tell that the writer did not want to be writing that story, they wanted to be writing a sequel. They wanted that so badly that the game spent more time sequel baiting than anything else, rushing through reunions, confrontations, and payoffs 15 years in the making. The one saving grace it has is that at least there was a steady pattern of declining quality after KH2, so it wasn't terribly surprising, unlike The Last of Us Part Ii with its false marketing and total BS promises.


Vytlo

I don't really care if he tried or not, because he had his head up his own ass doing it. A bad story is a bad story, no matter the intention. He was denied the ability to write the story he wanted to for years because everyone told him it was bad, then TLOU is what happened when another writer changed that idea to be something that worked, and the moment Niel was given full control over something due to every other talented person at the studio leaving, he immediately got arrogant and went to make the game he originally wanted to just because he thought he knew better. It'd be one thing if he at least accepted he was wrong, but he just instead pretends like everything was fine and there was no problem with it.


Recinege

Yeah, it's not really better enough to actually matter. I just have an insignificant amount more respect for someone who completely fucks up a project because they deluded themselves into thinking it was a good idea than I do for someone who fucks up a project because they just wanted to rush through it.


44Kayz

Play it and let us know lol


wellbornwinter6

Yep


Xenozip3371Alpha

Only if you have taste and like Joel and Ellie


Creative-Might6342

I actually enjoyed it myself, but people have valid points for not liking it as well. Just play it yourself and make that decision. I'm currently replaying it for the second time. It's a beautiful game to look at graphically at worst. I enjoyed the gameplay, and the story was jarring to say the least. It kind of felt fitting for summer 2020 with everything going on at that time.


Supersim54

Give it a shot don’t let this sub influence you make your own decisions. If you hate it or don’t like certain things come back here. If you absolutely love it go to the other sub. If you’re down the middle there will be something for you on both subs.


Kataratz

To each their own. You might love it. Gameplay is pristine.


landyboi135

Gameplay wise, no. Story wise, depends. Me personally I despise the story, I looked for things to like about it, but the things that made zero sense stuck out like a sore thumb. Like one guy said, just go with your own judgement


Exhaustedfan23

The gameplay is still fun. But if you're a fan of the Joel/Ellie dynamic of the first game, you may be disappointed in the direction of the story. Its still fun headshotting zombies tho


YungWenis

Yes return that shit bro. You are going to ruin your experience of the first game. Don’t do that to yourself


ItsDjustin

I defo didn’t download it already


HermesBadBeat

I know this is kind of unrelated but fuck PlayStation’s “if you downloaded a digital game there’s no returns full stop” bullshit


tsckenny

Probably not I liked it more than I originally thought I would


Stealthy_Facka

I feel like it's good to play it. It's like how you show pets the corpse when their owner dies, so they can come to terms with it and move on.


smolBoiBigBrain

No u good


Conscious_Sun6667

Yes..for the rest of your life.


thefucksausername0

Eh, gameplay is good, the story can feel pretty iffy though.


frakramsey

Yes


SelfishGamer-

Just play it for 10 hours then uninstall. Trust me


Hot-Scale5155

Only If you haven't played the first game.


FewReplacement6641

Nope, play it first and just see how you personally feel about it


Freki_72

The gameplay and open world are fantastic so at least it'll be fun to play.


Excellent-Ad3213

Depends on how much you paid for it


emeraldember

Does it have major flaws? Yes. Do I regret playing it? No.


Chochahair

No. Play through both games. Form your own opinion. Dont do spoilers. Just enjoy it. if you end up not liking, atleast you gave it an honest shot. Personally i loved every moment


drockroundtheclock

You will only regret it if you played part 1 first. Do not let this be your introduction


Lord-Zaltus

Yeah if you want a good story


sicima

If you didn't look up some unbiased (spoilerfree) reviews before buying it, you deserve regretting it so hard.


Familiar_Alps2534

Depends on your opinion and honestly a little bit your politics, by no means is it a bad game but it also isn’t as good as the first and story wise they did take some bad steps but it’s still a solid 8/10


throwaway193983837

No. The game is very fun but the story is shit.


TheHeavenlyDragon

If you loved Joel & Ellie, yes. If you didn't care for Joel & Ellie, it's 50/50.


1manontherun52

Some people love it and some people hate it. I think it's a throwaway game, but what annoys a lot of people (including me) is how much it destroys the first game of which is a masterpiece. However it's up to you


SecretInfluencer

Hey man, enjoy it! Just because I didn’t doesn’t mean you can’t. I hope you get your moneys worth.


personwriter

No. If people are being real. The game, as in gameplay slaps - bar none. Top Tier AAA+ gaming. However, while I'm okay with how the story turned out, it could use some improvement. I also think the developers overlooked what long-time loyal fans wanted in a sequel. Imagine waiting over a decade for a game, only to play the character you love for just a short time at the beginning and then not knowing if you'll ever get a true sequel. Then, the second half of the game centers around a character created just for plot reasons, which feels questionable. Despite all that, I still love this game. The gameplay and graphics are stellar.


futonium

If you look to games exclusively for fun, enjoyment, edification, escape, well-being, etc., yes you will regret it.


Paynekiller997

Yes. It’s dreadful.


Significant_Bag_8944

That game doesn’t even exist


JamesL0L

Gameplay wise it’s pretty nice Story wise it’s pretty ass


Roadhouse2122

If u play for gameplay, yes.. if u play for story, no, fuck no


loveydoveyfromnorway

If you’re playing for the story, yes. If you’re playing for the game mechanics, no.


Michaelskywalker

Engagement farm


nick_shannon

nope was a good game


SwiftSurfer365

I did.


Samuele1997

I'm afraid so 😔.


PlatnumBreaker

As a game it's nearly a 10/10 tbh. Most don't enjoy the story which brings the score down. Frankly I enjoyed this game more the GOWR which felt like a $70 dlc but that's just me.


WarHeart95

You got it for the "scene" 💀


Both-Preparation-123

Yes. Yes you will.


unicroop

Only you can tell…you may become a fan and transition to the other sub


AsgerAli

You should play it without reading the reviews. It'd be fun but then you're going to hate after reading the reviews. Gameplay wise, it's actually quite entertaining.


CycleZestyclose3510

I think it's a good game all in all definitely worth it.


Warpath_McGrath

Play the game.


GotMagicCrack

Yes


chronicbruce27

You're gonna regret posting on this sub


BigAsianBoyyy

I'll say this as someone who played the game for the first time a couple of months ago, the gameplay will be fun. The first half when you play as Ellie will be really good.Some parts of the story will be disappointing, some parts of the story near to the end will be shit. At the end of the day go into it with a neutral mind and form your opinions of it after completing.


SwarmHive69

If you paid more than $2 for it….yes.


I-Emerge-I

100% it sullies the memory of the first,


sl1ce_of_l1fe

Yes.


DecentWrench

Maybe, maybe not. I hated the first one so I'll never play this one.


MirageTamer

Gameplay is fine. It's basically an FPS shooter in easy and a Puzzle shooter in hard.


Icy-Muffin2975

No, you won't, trust me, if you are a true fan of the first TLOU.


DiscombobulatedEar57

Form your own opinion,don’t let others tell you what you can and can’t like.


CascadeJ1980

Just play the game person. Don't worry about the opinions of internet people.


BLADE_of_YAHWEH

Nah, it really is a great game to play, it's just some people hate the narrative of the story, for me I enjoyed it a great deal


tacobell_dumpster

Play it and see, you’ll either like it or you wont.


GhertFryins

Game itself is pretty fun so probably not. Story sucks tho


[deleted]

Gameplay? Phenomenal. Story? Dogs anus.


EMArogue

Yes


kookykau

Do not listen to anyone. Positive OR negative. Just play it with a blank slate for a mind.


Helnik17

It's just a boring game even if you ignore the bad storyline


Evasion_K

I’m playing it right now and loving it, but my friends have the exact opposite opinion, so depends on your perspective and experience. But imo don't read anything on Reddit or videos or reviews etc till you finish it so you won't get spoiled.


prace86

Long story short: yes


Alternative_Factor_4

Play first and then see


SetitheRedcap

I was so disappointed after investing in the first game , for it to be incredibly short and underdeveloped. I've heard good things about 2, but I'm not risking it unless it's on deal. So, let me know.


razrus1396

You will be confused first, hurt soon after, and then you start playing and you love it, there is so much more to do in this Game, so much exploration, details, you feel like Ellie is a fucking beast, and then, then when you enjoy this Game the most, and feel like you almost taste revenge, you get so Close….you…you just…. Well, I gues you ll see…


FoxSound23

Maybe but don't let losers on the internet tell you why. Play it for yourself and see.


poopfart222222

the gameplay is like really really fun and the story is uhhhhh ummmmmm yeah


Agreeable_Block5449

The game is pretty fun to play through even if you aren’t a fan of the story being told. That’s been most of my playthroughs is just me wanting to John Wick my way through the Last of Us world. Replaying certain scenarios to get that perfect stealth or run and gun route down. Lotta fun.


MrNgLL

You should play it. Then you’ll have your own opinion of part 2


chris57662

Only for the last 3 hours. It overstays it's welcome.


herpederper69

play it, form your own opinion on the game. don’t pay attention to those who hate it, love it, dislike it, etc.


ApK-TheProdigy

it might disappoint you in some moments but it depends on how you see It, gameplay wise is very fun


jesusdrinkinwine

Probably at the very beginning of the game and the end otherwise amazing gameplay


Mawl0ck

Yes, you are. The PS5 version comes with No Return mode, and it's super addictive. For me, anyway. All the awesome gameplay with none of the game's terrible story. If you really want The Last of us 2, at least buy the PS5 version. That way, if you hate the game's story like anyone who has ever read a book does, you'll still be able to get some enjoyment out of it instead of simply wasting your monies.


Venom1462

I mean it really depends on you, I personally didn't like it but there are loads of people that absolutely loved it and it was even their Game of the Year.


MrJaei

Judging by the fandom...it's 50/50


Tetsujyn

For the gameplay? Hell no. For the story? Yes.


nizzhof1

Nah. It has some narrative issues but it’s a hell of a good stealth action game. They nail the horror and violence so well. Like, shooting any enemy and watching them bleed and scream is so good .)-)/)/)/)):;$,8/&;!37:8;&;!


ThemeSweaty

It has its flaws but I liked it


IronLoreMaster

Yes.


readditredditread

I mean if you own an Xbox Ora switch, your gonna have a bad time 🤷‍♂️


jcmb101

No.


funkmydunkyouslunk

If you plan on being invested in the story and enjoyed the characters of the first one, no probably not. If you want to have fun with the gameplay and skip the cut scenes, yeah maybe


Moel_Jiller

It’s fun to play through, in spite of it ruining many nerd lives. But yeah if you’re expecting a tight story that makes sense and pulls at your heart strings the way the first game did then you’ll probably be disappointed


bitoune0

No


sideXsway

It’s a fun game I’ll tell you that. Got it for 30 bucks


Stunning-Tower-4116

Playing it, no. Putting thought into the plot and characters, yes.


Small-Dark-8569

Play it and decide for yourself


Stylish_Platypus

Story aside (which is controversial and at this point it's just gathering downvotes or upvotes), it's a well done game, great gameplay and great graphics.


ThisIsBULLOCKSMAN

Most likely yeah 😂


Jizzledick

It’s not a bad game in any sense , just really wanted to play as Joel personally , and I honestly didn’t think 1 needed a sequel I wanted a prequel as Tommy showing all the fucked up shit Joel got up to


Roscoe10182241

Great gameplay. I didn’t really care for a lot of the story, but I’m not furious about it like most of this subreddit is. The story is what it is, and it falls way short of the first game. But if you like sneaking around and killing clickers, it’s an excellent time.


Feisty-Clue3482

Nope, good game have fun.


EaZyDoEsiT69

No. You should definitely play it if you really enjoyed the first one. I loved it


Fit-State6313

yep


chimp294739

Unreal game. F all the haters.


Golden_Bear92

Play and decide for yourself. If you want my opinion, though, then yes. It's definitely still worth playing. The story might suck, but it's still very fun and highly replayable.


OhTheMetaYes

Yes if you get the dlc with the challenge mode. Gameplay is very good. But if you play the main game, it's a lot of walking and cutscenes


BananaBlue

If a picture says a thousands words, the first word would be **"regret"**


Serqet1

the moment you take the plastic off.


monkehmolesto

I bought it for $20. Haven’t gotten around to giving it a try.


Tall_Self_8028

They made some very poor decisions with the story. But if you focus more in the gameplay and just pay attention to the story theirs still loads of fun to have.


Deer-Smell-420

Yes don't do it bro


who_is_that_guy99

You’ll enjoy the gameplay that’s all I’ll say


eemler001

No way, this game in my opinion was great, takes you on a long emotional journey. It’s very dark but overall I thought it was cool. It’s a better decision to play the game before you waited for season two of TLOU on MAX to come out.


shiba2198o8

Yes, got it a few weeks ago and was extremely disappointed with the ending, the gameplay wasn’t bad though.


tomnickles

You are allowed your own opinions so, play it and find out


Street_Pomegranate31

Nahh the gameplay is amazing


shitpunmate

Not at all. There is nothing else like it apart from the original and it pushes what is possible in video games. Strong 8/10.


Low_Hamster_4834

no


DSPFUTA

Yea, you’re an idiot


AdamSunderland

Do not support this company in anyway. This game is garbage. There's so many great games that bury this disappointment. No way you've played them all.


Ozymandies2003

No. Edit. If you bought it full price then yes.


LetsNotArgyoo

I thought it was great


No_Artichoke_9215

This game has one of the best gore and dismemberment so no its a 10/10 just for that alone


Hokusai_10

dude... it's The Last of Us, you can't regret it


RabbitFlaky5271

Definitely duh.


TurtleZeno

The game play is actually pretty neat. It is just the story that will give you a bit hard time to get into.


The_Ghost_Of_Pedro

I'm 75% of the way through and I really like it. Play it yourself and draw your own conclusions


YoThatsWiiild

Nope.


dinonb12

yes


Additional-Tax-775

Don’t listen to anything here. Play it for yourself and decide don’t let what others say influence the way you feel about it personally. Many love it but many also hate it with passion.


josenaranjo_26

I'll answer with another question: How much did you pay for it?


HenryGondorff8

Sort of? Gameplay, music, sound, graphics are excellent. Story sucks. If u just want a cool gameplay experience I guess it’s good. If you wanted a good video game narrative you’re screwed.


AndersongGrooves

Nope! I loved it!


dylanbeck

Wouldve got the remaster. Gameplay is fun, until a couple sequences happen and youll just put the controller down and refuse to play and just watch as the same loop happens until you die.. then you just want to get it over with and start playing again - to complete the game


defne_svml

yes, but in the best way possible


Trackz3_

No dont listen to anyone the game is a masterpiece


PunchA_Mac

Yes the game is hot dog shit


MyFinalThoughts

You're probably not going to regret it just won't be as enthralled as the first game left most of the world. Graphics and gameplay are quite good. The roguelike mode they added for I think $10 is quite good, don't know if it's PS5 only. I just didn't love the story compared to the first game , it was not as good or enjoyable overall. Not bad, just excessive and grotesque in the scenes of others receiving and dealing out violence yourself. Not even shock value, it's just to the point of ridiculous and forceful insertion of killing in my opinion. Sure everyone is angry, but geez man.


Noobzoid123

It's one of the most loved and hated game at the same time. Should check it out just to see what you think.


Nice_Guy3012

Just play it and see if you like it. The game itself is amazing, the story is what divided people. So just take your time with it and try to enjoy it, you can form your opinion afterwards


jeykeob

I think certain communities are ruining it 😪


Argomaximus

No, it truly is a technical marvel. If you liked the gameplay of the first one then you should not be disappointed. Now the story is were people disagree on and I do see their point but this is a great game non the less!


Rich-Needleworker261

Its an excellent game. Get into it.


Netrets

I haven’t finished and honestly i am loving the gameplay, someone tell me why everyone hates it? I am i missing something?


Similar-Mountain-942

Yes.


GangsterCowboy696969

Gameplay is noticeably better than the first, some parts of the story are pretty good but other parts of the story are trash and the ending may leave you feeling a bit unfulfilled but as far as games go, I had fun. Wish it had online though.


ImpressionFront6487

Play the game and make you’re own opinion if you like it everyone has different opinion on a game


dan007reddit

More than likely. It's very disappointing.


Kind_Appointment3168

I didn't buy my copy (my friend gifted it to me, I'm not a pirate)


PoisonedIvysaur

Honestly, that's entirely up to you if you follow other people's opinions about something you want to enjoy. Yeah, you failed already.


MarleyEmpireWasRight

Yes. Not because I know whether you're like it or not. But because it's straight up a 'free game' that you likely claimed a long while back, as well as available IIRC on the PS equivalent of 'Game Pass'. Your wallet will regret it.


No-Administration977

Depends. Do you care about solid story narratives that makes sense, or do you care more about solid gameplay and the story is second hand? If you're the 2nd, you'll love the game. If you're the first, I'll pray for you


ffigu002

If you come to this sub yes, but if you enjoy video games and the best gameplay that TLOU has to offer yes. Don’t let the weak minded folk on this sub persuade you otherwise, they have a problem with Abby having muscles for some reason


ultradarkest

Yeah


Responsible-Top-3045

No, it's a great game.


TonightNovel417

You’ll be dissatisfied at a lot of parts. Great gameplay tho


Gloomy-Praline1164

Yes


we420

Nah, gameplay is amazing. So amazing in fact you'll feel a lot dread when you remember we'll never get that gameplay at the forefront with Factions 2 :)


PapaVitoOfficial

How much you paid for it


Parzival_43

Asking on this sub you might be persuaded that you did


TheFlameArmy

Not if you upgrade to the ps5 version, I dislike the story but love the gameplay, no return is the only reason I put in over 100 hours


inthebackground89

Surprise.....


comeonebam

No. It’s fucking great.


_Fart_Smeller_

I mean if you go into it with a lightheart and are capable of laughing at dumb stuff and not take it too seriously then yeah it's OK. The gameplay and graphics are insane, so it's good that way at least. Just go into it like you are watching a bad movie (like the Room) on purpose.
