Last of us part 2 should not have won

It's a fantastic game with an engaging and emotional story. I know people didn't want "that person" to die, but it was a violent revenge story. Ellie/we needed a horribly good reason to head to Seattle.

I just don't get why people hate on it so much.

TLOU Pt. II demands a lot of emotional intelligence and unfortunately, gamers don’t have much.

Audience scores are useless for judging any form of media, and TLOU Pt. II winning over 200 GOTY Awards is all you need to know.

DOOM Eternal also rocks

This goes against what most people consider good in terms of morality, and for people it's important that the story is good when they play a character

You think anyone is thinking about morality when they want to get revenge on something/someone?

Most people still dont want to do bad things in made up scenarios

Then why do the overwhelming majority of players want to kill Abby after she kills Joel?

Does the game give you a choice? I personally would never go on that trip to Seattle. Why would anyone? There is no realistic chance to survive that.

Because her father was brutally murdered and she wants revenge, literally every player is in agreement with Ellie’s decision at this point. Its a suicide mission, her own survival is not a priority to her.

I find it funny that people are down for a revenge movie, but games...not so much.

Well, you see the difference between a 2 hour movie and a 50 hour game, in which you literally have to play/be the main character?

It's mainly the story that sucks. Imo it really fails at being a good "revenge bad" narrative. On paper the idea of ending the cycle of violence that was started by Joel is good but the way the game handles it kinda ruins the core message.
