Shimrra Jamaane posted:At least I enjoyed playing it. It is okay for a game to be unpleasant. People fall over themselves to recommend LISA for example despite it being genuinely a depressing experience. Some folks will swear by Drakengard despite it being a game that hates you. In fact it got two sequels and two spinoffs all of which feature protagonists who could be classified as villains. I am not saying TLOU 2 succeeds but "not fun" can be a good experience if done right.

Reading this right after the Kotaku review is hilarious. https://kotaku.com/the-last-of-us-part-ii-the-kotaku-review-1844006193 quote:Late one night, I paused the game and asked myself aloud if the developers thought I was stupid, if they thought the existence of violence had just never occurred to me before. "I was affected by it. Like no game before. I am in awe of it."

Irony Be My Shield posted:Drakengard has evil protagonists and dark themes but it is for the most part not deliberately unpleasant to play. I think there's a major distinction there. It absolutely is. Both intentionally and unintentionally. The infamous Rhythm Final Boss which is awful to play and the ending that follows for example. Also like you kill child soldiers and people begging for their life.

Chernobyl was one of the greatest tv show i have ever seen and the subject topic is insanely grim, they had a whole episode about the animal killing squad and even them didnt show dog killings in extreme detail. Mmmm i wonder why.

Ham posted:How do people still think this is an actual thing? At best they're giving them a free game code for the review. Didn't Bethesda punish reviewers back in 2016 by no longer letting them review their games until they're out due to bad receptions? Can't imagine why an industry that literally relies on publishers drip feeding them information might possibly be accused of taking certain favours in exchange for better scores/access.

That forced violence we made you do is bad, you should feel bad. Did you ever think about how violence is bad? Anyhow, the best way to interact with the themes of Last of Us 2 is to not play. My column:
