In April, important plot details of The Last of Us Part II. Players, to put it mildly, were upset when they found out that one of the favorite heroes of the first part would die in the sequel. Popular discontent spilled right on the developers. The creative manager of the project was the most Nila Drakmann (Neil Druckmann).
In the fresh release of Gamescast podcast Dracmann, as well as actors Troy Baker (Troy Baker; Joel) and Ashley Johnson (Ashley Johnson; Ellie) discussed the game itself and sad events that preceded its release. Dracmann He admitted that he was crumpled by the leak and the reaction of the players to her:
The day when the drain occurred, became one of the worst in my life. I watched in real time how everything happened. I saw that the video appeared on YouTube. We all started panic, asked to delete the video. Due to the delay, he was removed about an hour later. When the video was removed, he might have a thousand views. Then you just sit, and your fucking hands drop, and you are like this: “It happened. Only some time will pass, and everyone will find out ".
A few hours later [spoilers] are already everywhere, and they begin to hate you in all social networks where you are, and then it comes to mortal threats, anti -Semitic statements and just madness, which I could not even expect. I knew that people would upset the death of the character whom they love. I never thought it would cause such … hatred? I don’t even know what to call it. Irritation?
According to Dracmann, It was especially difficult to observe the reaction of people who hastened with conclusions and took a position in the style of “I already hate this game, and no context would convince me”. Naughty Dog I was forced to feel the wrath of fans for two months, not having the opportunity to openly discuss the story.
As the creative leader said, most of all in the studio were afraid of leaks. Naughty Dog I did a lot to protect the plot, but in the end, it is lamented Dracmann, The launch of the game was held according to the worst scenario.

The best comments
People evaluate the product by the result, not the process. Yes, a lot of effort has been invested. Yes, people had hopes, expectations. Many have invested in this project. But if, after the end of the game, the player has a feeling of emptiness, disappointment, he is disgusted, he is outraged and feels deceived, then no efforts will block that whirlpool of the negativity in which the player visited. Zeros and units fly to Methacritic so far, this means that many people are “truly” disappointed.
Well, let’s do Anch 5 where https://non-uk-casinos.co.uk/review/winit-casino/ the children and the widows of the mercenaries killed by Drake will hunt for him and his daughter, who became bi. And at the same time, the daughter takes care of Elena with cancer. You will like it?
Chernukha and distortion of characters is not courage.
Yes, the Nile and the company had to face the worst manifestation of the hordes from Reddit and other sites where those who are bombing for everything are sitting indiscriminately. Go out the game without this hype, the plot would cause discussions, like the ending of the first part, but it was the discussions, and not these troll raids on Metacricik at the same moment that they opened grades from people, the game never launched
In this whole story with spoilers and the attitude of people to the game as a whole, I am amused by Sony’s behavior, which continues to bashfully block the comments on YouTude and hide the ratio of likes and diesels with absolutely every video about The Last of US Part II.
I still liked the game, but with
agree. I apologize for a strange comparison, but I can invest a lot of strength and cook the terrible soup. But regardless of how much work was invested, the soup will be eaten. And evaluate it. And that’s right
And the “brilliant” script of Drakman was apparently written not according to the manual … Well, yes, the fan of this in every sense of the passing game (and in some aspects frankly shit, the “gameplay” conveys greetings), point blank does not want to see that the problem is not in the murder of the character, but
1. How the murder is furnished
2. The fact that this murder leads to a loud bundle in a puddle with fingers near the boat at the end of the game ..
Yes, no one in 2020 is no longer surprised, the top AAA projects with rare exceptions look great.
And where did you see there “breakthroughs in the scenario and staged” plan of things – I don’t know. The public was a breakthrough in the script and staging plan. Tlou2 in terms of script and setting is observatively worse than your predecessor. The actions of the heroes are often illogical, the actions are irrational, any chemistry between the characters (for which they fell in love, by the way, the first part) is not. But everywhere SJW. Obsessive SJW.
Come on as an example: the recent cartoon "Harley Quin" is all built on SJW. But it was built in such a way that you … are imbued with the story of a woman’s awkward love of Baba, and even be upset at the end of the second season.
In TLOU2, in some places it seems that at first they invented SJWTs, and then with white threads the rest was sewn around them, without thinking about how such situations could logically occur in the world, which the creators themselves built.
In technical terms, the game may not be bad, but seriously: we loved TLOU for technical perfection?
I myself have not yet passed the game yet, so I will not judge the plot, but, in principle, I can understand why it caused such a negativity among most players. And okay, if they just went and wrote a negative review about the game on the same Macratics, throwing Nolik at the end of the review, but why all this wild hatred and anger towards the creators of the game, and sometimes even to the players? Especially threats in PM are generally some kind of separate type of schizophrenia.
I recall as an actor who played Joffreili in the Game of Thrones Gnobili. At such moments, you are amazed at how stupid some individuals can be, and in general, somehow, even ashamed of humanity, it becomes at such moments.
Rather, it is many years of work of hundreds of people who have invested an incredible amount of strength and labor in it And the efforts of one little man who imagined himself Kojzima, who wanted to write the most brilliant plot, and in the end he wrote a banal story that revenge is bad and almost destroyed all the efforts of those same hundreds of people.
Graphics in the game at 10 out of 10, plot is -10 out of 10. Subtract, divide, multiply, find the root, prove the Pythagorean theorem and get an assessment of 0 out of 10.
You might think when they in the first minutes of the game in the first minutes of the game, they did not understand what a wave of anger awaited them.
Yes, exactly. It was a simple story that was excellent. With magnificent characters, well -developed relationships between them (the very chemistry, yes), believably developing during the game. You worried about the heroes and together with the heroes in the first place because their feelings were clear to you, and they were clear to you because you believed in what was happening. Emotional involvement, that’s all. In TLOU2, specifically these components, which we are usually united by a single concept of “plot” worse than in TLOU. Irrational actions, strange development of characters, completely superficial relationships. Well, the plot moves that are made only to cause as many emotions as possible. Not because the story with them will appear in a new light, or to something will lead, no. Just to squeeze as many emotions as possible.
There are critics and professionals for an “objective” assessment. The players were given the opportunity to evaluate the game and everyone puts in an assessment what he considers necessary. We are ordinary players, this is our right to reflect our attitude to the game in assessment.
The game is openly lousy. The gameplay simply did not undergo changes from the first part, but how many years have passed. There was nothing good in it in fact, attention is made to details from a good game – a game for years. Attention to details in a bad game does not cover her minuses at all. Recall the first part, it affects the problems of fathers and children, love, affection, human egoism, anger. For the most part, therefore, she deserved her place. We look at the second part and see the usual vulgarity, the story is not close to you. There are too few contact points. Perhaps she will be close to any representative of LGBT,* she will clearly appeal to schoolchildren who, by virtue of her, will look at her completely differently, but most will not appreciate her (did not appreciate), and I agree with them.
As for 3/10, this is busty as for me, even frankly passing days gone 8.2 on methacritic has =) I think 6/10 the most then.
P.S IMHO, I do not impose my opinion on anyone.
* The activities of the International Public Movement of LGBT are recognized as extremist and is prohibited in the Russian Federation
Embalked crowd is terrible. The crowd embittered on the soil of games (and even more so someone’s opinion about the game) is even worse, because it is even less meaningful.
This plot turn with the "death of one of the key characters" was also guessed in trailers. Not only therefore popular anger. This is probably the mentality of the West, that, they say, LGBT-Vlon* We will not notice. It is inappropriate to project the problem of a modern flapping society on the topic of post-apocalypse, well, it seems to me so.
* The activities of the International Public Movement of LGBT are recognized as extremist and is prohibited in the Russian Federation
When the entire series of Mass Effect was thrown by tomatoes after the end of the third part-for some reason no one called for objectivity ..
Well, yes, well, yes, and of course, of those ~ 50 thousand people who evaluated the game badly on methacritic, everyone evaluated the plot for one Katssen)
Smacks of conspirology at the level of reptiloids and Masons.
I have no idea what exactly you loved the first part, but there was no some kind of outstanding plot in it either. It was a simple but beautifully presented story.
