What is your review on the Last of Us Part 2?

A lot of girl boss stuff too. Almost all of the female characters in this game carry themselves with confidence and assertiveness. While the male characters are much more passive with their personalities. Joel is really the only likable male in this game. Jesse has no real personality and neither does Tommy in this game. Speaking of Jesse and Tommy and Joel NONE of the male characters in this game get a respectful death of any kind. No heroics, no sacrifices for the survival of others, just now he's here now he's not girl power whacking dudes like the mafia.

I can get past Joels death, I can get passed the ending. I can get past the lesbian relationship elements and the pregnant woman drama. But what I cant get past is making me play as Abby for 8 god damn hours and then making me beat up on Ellie who was in the right for wanting to kill Abby. Whose entire side was the clear bad guys all game long.

Gameplay wise I would rate it high as fuck. Near perfect. Probably a 9/10

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

Over all ide have to give TLOU2 a 5/10 because the writing is horrible, the story sucks, but the game play by itself, is fucking amazing. This game has some of the best AI I have ever seen in any video game. I mean they aren't perfect. But this AI is leagues ahead of most games with stealth in them. This is the most human like AI you will get in 2025. It makes the gameplay very immersive.

Abby is a WLF soldier first and foremost. She has a job to do that requires traversing the post apocalyptic lands in full gear. Where she might have to save someone's life or kill someone. When you work out like that, you get sore. See when you lift weights and build muscle, you cause small tears in your muscles from stressing them while you lift. Them healing is what makes them bigger. That being said, if your working out this hard to get this big there isn't much else you are going to be capable of doing. Which is pretty bad when its a post apocalyptic world where you have to be in fighting shape at a moments notice. You cant afford to go work your arms till they hurt so you can go into the field already fucked up. If Abby was that big all she would have time for is eating chicken and egg whites, working out like a crazy person and resting till her muscles quit hurting enough to lift some more. Doesn't make for a very good game experience. My point in all of this is Abby’s size is unrealistic and is only slightly immersive if you are dumb enough to believe that a female is going to get this big in a post apocalyptic world. Where everything is supposed to be scarce. Including whey protein. Which Abby seems to not have had any shortage on. Judging from her He-Man shoulders she looks like she does about 5 sets of 250 military presses with 70 lbs dumbbells, right after she snorts a line of hydroxy cut off the counter and eats a whole rotisserie chicken.

Multiple small details in the world like rainbow colored pride walkways in the city to Ellie’s lesbian relationship with a ethnically diverse female. Who happens to be pregnant from (I guess) her last boyfriend… This game loves pregnant woman let me tell you. Not one but TWO pregnant woman dramas going on here. The estrogen flows like the mighty Nile in this game. One could drown in its rapids.

If the game was just playing as Ellie at least I could enjoy being Ellie and whooping ass. The best parts of the game is just playing as Ellie sneaking around bad guys and infected and fucking em up like a little bush ninja.

I feel like this is a game made for people who like to virtue signal. This game really crams every SJW trope in your face as you play it.

Look, I know woman CAN get this big, but its an unbelievably hard commitment to pull off. It takes being a total gym bro. Buying the supplements, eating a extremely high protein/low sugar diet. Doing HARD work out sessions 3–4 times a week MINIMUM. And lets put this all into context.

My marriage is fixed. My future husband repeatedly calls me to meet me in private and pressure me to have a relationship. What should I do?

Then it pulls you into some cutscene with two lesbians talking about being pregnant again and it just feels like a woke Netflix drama for people like Rachel Zegler and my immersion in this world is instantly broken by SJW virtue signaling within the story.

But story wise… that's where my review gets polarizing. I really dislike the story in TLOU Part 2.

And bro the first fucking thing I see is those Gauss Cannon arms with those Arnold Schwarzenegger pecks in a tank top. I'm like woah now… how tf is she this big? Why does this woman have vin diesels torso? she looks like Macho Man Randy Savage tried out for a part as Lara Croft and now you got Angelina Swolie.

Why is US hell bent on a private capitalist free opinion sharing platform like Tiktok? What happened to their mantra of so-called free spirit of capitalism and freedom of expression that they have been preaching to the rest of the world for decades?

I feel like this game OBVIOUSLY leans heavily in the SJW LGBTQ community type of stuff and the writing IMO doesn't make any sense in a lot of places.

The truth is in this world TLOU is set in survival comes at an ugly price. People die. The value of life is ultra thin. You cant trust people outside of your group so easily. And if you got to kill to live, than that's what you do. This is a post apocalyptic world set over 10 years past the outbreak. No government no standing law. Just people getting by however they can. Ellie has grown up in this world. She's killed countless times, risked her life, seen loved ones die in horrible ways. Why the FUCK would she give a DAMN at this point whether a person she killed is pregnant or not? She wouldn't! But because its girl power and woman clearly wrote the script of course there has to be a pregnancy drama element mixed into this game about post apocalyptic survival as its core element. This shit does not belong in a game.

Ellie gets all upset about killing a pregnant woman in self defense after learning her Ethnic girlfriend Dina is pregnant and even though Ellie has done and witnessed unspeakable acts over the entire course of her life. Ellie has killed more people than John Wayne Gacy in her life. She literally chopped a man to pieces with a machete in the last game. She's killed numerous woman along the way and never once was the possibility of being pregnant a problem UNTIL the story called for it to be.

And Abby… we got to talk about Abby. Abby is a PAIN to play as. At first when I played as Abby early on I was like this isn't so bad. I can kind of get behind this I guess. Then I got past Ellies segment in Seattle and got to play as Abby FORREAL….

I mean I guess its not the story really as much as the way the executed everything.
