You can be great at storytelling and still release a competent game (as they continue to do). SO, no, I see no reason for them to go anywhere. And the HBO thing is irrelevant.

No idea lol.
The next game after Ori, Dreams and AC is Doom Eternal at 89.
Hmmm. Yup gonna just have to play this myself. Hopefully it lives up to the majority hype.
Maaan this game will take me forever to complete, I always go through games like this sooo slooooow.
True, I just think they are the best storytellers in the industry and I would prefer to see the story without having to go through the sometimes mundane gameplay (thinking mostly Uncharted here).
Well how can you be objective if you're upset by violence that isn't even real? Like people crying over killing dogs made of pixels. Who are these people?!
Because it is not a role playing game, you are just there for the ride.
TLoU final segment made that clear with Joel's decision. How are people missing this?
I was expecting low 90s, living in the shadow of the first game, but it looks like the Naughty Gods did it again.

This quote sure is something.More on how the game's brutality is not necessarily as thought-provoking as they'd like it to be, from Polygon:
Review threads never fail to bring out the crazy in people
We have cops casually kneeling on people's necks until they die like it's no big deal. And an entire portion of this country that is ok with it. Some even going as far as running over or shooting people that dare protest.Maddy Myers at Polygon was not a fan.
We must not live in the same country.
I used Google translate for the "Cons" and chuckled at the "Dirty Storytelling" one.

Has this guy been in a coma for the past few months?

The Last of Us Part 2 Review
The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterful swansong for the PlayStation 4, and arguably the finest, most accomplished project Naughty Dog has ever embarked on.

The Last of Us Part 2 review: A haunting melody
The Last of Us Part 2 takes players back into the brutal, post-apocalyptic world that Naughty Dog first introduced in 2013. Is this sequel worth checking out, or do the notes fall flat? Our review.

Review: The Last Of Us 2 Is The Best Game Of Its Generation
Although players will find themselves on a blood-soaked adventure that sends its characters on a violent and controversial quest for revenge, The Last of Us Part II feels like the next logical step in this story. Technically and narratively, it's easily one of the best games available for the...

This is without a doubt the worst take I've ever seen on era. Well done
MC is cracking, now its showing me 45 reviews at 95 XD
EDIT: 51 reviews now O_o
Like anyone gives a shit.
"Boo hoo my game only got a 93 on MC instead of a 97". What sane person actually reasons like this?
Some people are just more sensible than others, I know it will be hard for me too.
Maybe I'm just a bad person but the violence here felt like in any other game, I just killed stuff and ran to kill more stuff. These dramatic reviews are kinda strange.More on how the game's brutality is not necessarily as thought-provoking as they'd like it to be, from Polygon:
More on how the game's brutality is not necessarily as thought-provoking as they'd like it to be, from Polygon:
This comes off as I was uncomfortable killing characters I developed some empathy for...I don't see the issue...the point of the game seems to be there is no real redeeming aspect in the cycle of revenge. That is a powerful message...you can't undergo the kinds of experiences Ellie has and do the things she has done and fundamentally remain what people in more stable situations would consider a 'good' person
I see the single post saying negative things about reviewers has been dunked on approximately 100 times.
Yeah man it's totally those GAMERZ that are going to turn the thread into a shitshow and DEFINITELY not posts like this.

The Last of Us: Part II - Recension
Sju år efter det första spelet är Ellie och Joel tillbaka för att göra chefredaktör Hegevall gråtmild och förstummad, igen. Detta är vår recension av tidernas mest vågade uppföljare...
I added the paragraph before that chunk to my original post. It explains their viewpoint al little more thoroughly.
German website 4players (Jörg Luibl) rated it at 94 and said it's a 35 hour game.
Test (Wertung) zu The Last of Us Part 2 (Action-Adventure)
The Last of Us 2 wird euch tief in die Augen blicken - und ihr werdet euch erschrecken. Naughty Dog beweist hier Reife, Mut und Klasse. Großartig!www.4players.de
not a good sign, i dislike almost every game that gets the Luibl praise lol
I take issue with this point. Obviously we haven't played the game but I could totally see valid criticism if someone felt the game was brutal just for the sake of it and failed to push and meaningful message behind it.
