The Last of Us Part II It was released on June 19. It was thus one of the most anticipated titles of the PlayStation 4 it finally reached the hands of millions of players around the world.
However, before and after its release, the game was surrounded by acrid controversy. Others disagree on the way the story unfolded, and neither do the characters. It is something that they let see in one way or another.
The Last of Us Part II has received relentless attacks
One of them is through review bombing in Metacritic. Criticism specialized gives you an average of 94/100, but users a 4.7/10. Now, there are those who ask that the history of The Last of Us Part II, and they even put together a petition to pressure Naughty Dog and Sony.
It seems that the latter was the ‘drop that spilled the glass’. So much so, that one of the directors of the game, Neil Druckmann, shared a message via Twitter.
Review: ‘The Last of Us Part II’ – A brutal journey full of empathy that could be game of the year
This is related to complaints from The Last of Us Part II. The first part of this one says ‘We love and respect our fans immensely. But just in case, it must be said… ‘. Then she added ‘love + respect ≠ complacency’.
The latter can be interpreted as accepting any criticism or comment. But they are not willing to make major changes to a game that is already 100% finished and has already been released.
Neil Druckmann responds in a very clever way
In other words, the idea of changing history, especially the ending, to please a minority is not going to happen. That is highlighted with the GIF that you also shared Druckmann, which is a reference to a well-known meme. Can anyone really think that the outcome is going to change?
Especially after the big sales it has had. It is calculated that in his first weekend The Last of Us Part II sold over four million copies in the PlayStation 4.
This was how he broke the record set by Marvel’s Spider-Man, which at the time exceeded 3.3 million in the same time frame. Surely it must be too tiring for Neil Druckmann and Naughty Dog Read about the complaints about the game’s plot.
Ultimately, it is the vision of him and everyone involved, so it must be respected. But there are some who think that only their point of view is valid, and discard any other.
