The haters desperately wanted them to fail though, it's kinda hilarious how dumb they always look in the end. The amount of hate this game started getting ever since the trailer with Ellie kissing Dina was just lol. These people need to lock themselves far the fuck away from everyone, they're just trash.
Maddy Myers at Polygon was not a fan.
Does this person live in the US currently? Because I am not even sure if I can agree with this at all.
Probably gonna drop to 94 and maybe even 93 but who cares. Sounds like an incredible game once again.
"Some of Ellie's enemies have trained attack dogs, and it's hard to avoid killing them. Even if you do manage to avoid it, though, there's eventually a cutscene with a quick-time event that forces you to kill a dog, to hear the animal's sharp, confused yelp as you smash her skull in with a metal pipe.
That wouldn't be enough suffering, however. Naughty Dog has to make sure you feel horrible, so you're later treated to a flashback in which you play fetch with that same dog, scritching her behind her velvety little ears. If Naughty Dog makes you feel bad enough, maybe next time you won't do ... the thing the game forces you to do?"
What the fuck.

not really lmao, people still widely consider their games to be incredible
Seems like the one constant, even in the good reviews, is that the player has no agency over the characters.. I still think ND would be a better movie studio but that's just me.
Edit: To clarify their stories are so much better than the gameplay that it's a chore to get through (for me), I rush through it to get to the next story beat.
ND's overall storytelling chops is A+, nobody else even comes close, the actual gameplay is closer to a B for me, it's fun and polished but very repetitive (especially Uncharted).

The flaw in this logic...most people struggle to position themselves within the bigger picture...something the research I have been involved with has continuously shown.
Also, who is this 'we'? I don't think we can generalise across people in that way. Some people are good people by certain metrics, others aren't. Their experiences are often different. The 'we' narrative creates unity across difference, but that difference shouldn't be erased.
Anyone that expected anything below 90 was insane. But 93-94, which the game might end with,it's actually quite low for this game and the hype built around it.
Yes, it's only because of the brand name, and not because the games are great.
Cmon.
Even when every game they release is a raving success? Nah. Naughty Dog is exactly where they should be.

I really loved this game, but there are elements in the second half that really bear further analysis. I expect they will be controversial.

This is one melanin-deficient take. Gotta wonder if they're familiar with human history at allMaddy Myers at Polygon was not a fan.
More on how the game's brutality is not necessarily as thought-provoking as they'd like it to be, from Polygon:
I mean it's not really an argument until you've played the game.
Holy crap. Sounds amazing. Kind of wish this wasn't spoiled for me though
Lol, this is the first thing that came to mind when I read that. If anything, this year highlights how fucking dumb and selfish people can be.
theyll still cling on to the outliers, same as they always do.
Respectfully disagree. If anything the past few weeks have solidified the opposite for me. There is no floor to how far humanity can fall.Maddy Myers at Polygon was not a fan.
This text feels a little like some weird moral grandstanding. I mean totally entitled to that opinion, but it seems like an oddly adversarial tone like "I'm gonna show them!"Maddy Myers at Polygon was not a fan.
Must have really viscerally upset the reviewer.
