I thought her character was great but I’m unable to fully forgive her at the end. When someone harms a beloved character- they’ll be hated from the fan base.

I think the backlash is understandable given her actions in the very beginning. I found myself feeling for Abby by the end, so I guess naughty dog succeeded with their goal, but it was a pain to have to play as her in the beginning. I appreciate the storytelling with the flashbacks and memories, but it took away some enjoyment of the game when I wanted to get in and actually play. The gameplay was fine, but this game felt more movie-like than the last, and because of that it seemed like more cutscenes and more dull non-action sequences. I found myself having to take breaks because I didn’t feel like playing for more than a few hours during certain parts. There were some major pacing issues- especially in the later half of the game. It all felt natural to me and the characters were all fine.ĭidn’t think the game was perfect either.

Went in spoiler free and just finished the game.Ĭan’t say I agree with all the haters, especially those complaining about how the characters look or the fact they’re LGBT.

Naughty Dog has come out of the last console cycle a little more weathered and beaten than expected, but it begins the next a little stronger for it.Ĭheck out our full E3 2021 schedule to keep up with every announcement, or watch below for our first look at the Death Stranding Director's Cut.

They are, however, finally starting to fade into the background, as Part 2's genuine fans continue to uncover more reasons to appreciate Naughty Dog's workmanship, right down to the tiniest details.Īs it begins work on the next-generation of Naughty Dog stories for PS5, I hope the studio can take encouragement from this quiet, continuing legacy of the game that it built, and channel that positivity into its future, away from the noise of what was a truly unconventional launch period. Naughty Dog set out to make the most ambitious game it ever could, but many of its more nuanced achievements were immediately drowned out by expressions of gaming culture's worst impulses which, even a year later, still haven't quite died down. Still, you can't help but wonder whether the studio is burned out on this particular apocalypse, given everything it went through to bring Part 2 to PlayStation 4.

With production of the TV show and Factions multiplayer spin-off ongoing, rumours of a Last of Us PS5 remake swirling, and confirmation that Naughty Dog already has ideas for a third entry in the series, The Last of Us' presence in pop culture is far from reaching the point of dissipation yet. "The Last of Us 2 has proven that 2012's Mass Effect 3 ending uproar was but a canary in the coal mine." Druckmann has already talked about re-interpreting the story of the original game for The Last of Us TV show, in fact, suggesting that all the bile thrown his way by the loudest and angriest online aggressors has only inspired him to avoid ever capitulating to their demands. Thankfully, Naughty Dog doesn't strike me as the kind of studio that would answer to that backlash in the way Disney did, namely with the heavily sanitized, toothless non-entity that was Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It's the same kind of fan-servicing mentality that has crept into Hollywood, too you only have to look to the equally incensed reactions to Star Wars: The Last Jedi to see the parallels. If anything, The Last of Us 2 has proven that 2012's Mass Effect 3 ending uproar was but a canary in the coal mine, the first victim of a culture that now says a fan's entitlement to the story they have in their head overrules a creator's right to subvert those expectations entirely. There's no denying that lead writers Neil Druckmann and Haley Gross wanted to provoke a strong reaction to Joel's death, but they couldn't have predicted how venomous and nasty the response would be from certain corners of The Last of Us' fanbase, poisoning the discourse while steering it into laughable debates over the plausibility of muscle mass in the apocalypse. This isn't to join the chorus of various internet circles still smoldering over the mere existence of Abby's character, whose murder of Joel incited a wave of harassment thrown towards various Naughty Dog staff members, in addition to that of actress Laura Bailey.
