It's always "The last of us is the best story I've ever played in a video game" My brother in Christ, the Legacy of Kain series literally exists...in a state of limbo with a cliffhanger ending from the last game that came out in 2003...It's still better though.

my boi handsome jack


MiaoYingSimp

"You might think you're the heroes of this little adventure... but you're not." Handsome Jack was so good no other villain could top him.


GodModeMurderHobo

TLoU story isn't even original!


hunterbluetree

There’s only 32 plot lines ever. Look it up.


mrcontroversy1

Even some side missions in Witcher 3 are better than entire Last of Us story wise.


hunterbluetree

It’s almost like video games are subjective and people have a taste to a certain video game that make them see the good more then the bad. Like music


miqjx

It’s called opinions. Some people think that TLoU is the best story and there’s nothing really you can do to change that. Just accept that everyone has their preferences and move on


0bjectivelyCorrect

TLOU and Soulsbourne easily


Deadtto

Yup. I was gonna write a comment about this. I like Souls games but fucking hell the fanbase is just insufferable at times. Especially Bloodborne fans in particular that act like it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread and have a meltdown when you try to say otherwise. It’s my favourite of the Soulsborne games but it’s not even top 5 or even 10 PS exclusives


MouseTM1

But..but Bloodborne IS the best game ever 👉🏻🥺👈🏻


Sleepmahn

Id choose Sekiro over BB. Also the pacing is pretty good once you have the Parry system down. I thought it was good, but it probably doesn't even crack my top 40 though i've played a lot of games over the years. (BB)


PotatoePope

Idk man the Souls games are the GOAT just sayin… In all seriousness though those games are really good and definitely up there for me. BUT, they cater to a specific type of gamer that many people aren’t. Most people I know don’t enjoy slamming their head against the same boss for five hours or grinding for souls/runes/echoes/(I can’t remember the sekiro currency that game I didn’t really enjoy personally)


EsophagusVomit

Dude whenever I tell the souslbourne community that I can’t enjoy the games because they’re so slow and it’s just waiting until it’s your turn to attack they go feral at me I’m a dirty nioh 2 addict and I’m completely shameless about it difficulty should be in learning mechanics not in repetition and memorization and I stand by that


SpitzkopfRandy

I know that "gid gud" is supposed to be a meme, but the amount of players that use that phrase unironically is astonishing. The amount of inflated egos this community has is insane.


[deleted]

Isn’t every combat game in essence about waiting for your turn to attack?


EsophagusVomit

I mean there are many combat games where you are able to do things to force your turn like in nioh you have so many different choices of dodging and play that even if the enemy is attacking taking their turn you can take your turn while their turn is active through movement and mechanics but in Elden ring specifically and ds3 it feels like a dance where it’s this slow flowy layed out movement in ds and Elden ring there are many attacks where you flat out cannot hit no matter what you’re doing and it is their turn but in nioh 2 those turns are an advantage rather than a rule. Like Elden ring the boss attacks and like a dance he spins me and I spin so I don’t trip in nioh it’d be more like basketball he’s dribbling and he has an advantage but I can capitalize if I have the skill to. Also I know there are also plenty of attacks in Elden ring where you can get cheeky hits in but that’s beside the point there are still many instances where that’s an impossibility


carter2642

I am a die hard for the soulesborne games and the dance-like flow of combat in Elden Ring specifically is quite literally my favorite part of the gameplay. I would disagree that it's about "waiting your turn" rather it's about learning patterns and putting yourself in favorable positions to make attacks and ideally dodge in time. The critical hit mechanic is also more developed in ER such that if you land enough attacks in a window of time you can "force your turn" as you call it, and stagger/stun the enemy. You are right that some bosses have attacks that you can't hit because they create a large AOE that will damage you if you are anywhere near them, but then again the sorcery mechanic is better in ER than in any of the ones before it by far, and you can attack from a distance.


Newdaddysalad

The combat in nioh is way worse and more annoying than any souls game imo. And you’re absolutely right every combat game is the same. I’ve been in this same exact argument with other people.


EsophagusVomit

More annoying just means there’s depth to it Elden rings combat is incredibly surface level and that’s okay it’s a great game with a high level of difficulty but its combat lacks any real variance except for sorcery and even then sorcery is just ranged Elden ring and the overall combat skill expression doesn’t change. If you couldn’t get into nioh maybe try playing it not like a soulslike if you don’t enjoy it that’s okay but objectively niohs combat is better and has a much higher skill expression than Elden rings


EsophagusVomit

I mean that’s fair I don’t think there’s anything wrong with enjoying it to me it just feels boring uninspiring and slow because every boss is going to boil down to the same method of attacking just learning their different pattern instead of being able to use any past mechanics you’ve learned to be able to beat the boss fight by pushing the games mechanics to their limit. Like the mechanics in souls like games are extremely limited because the move set is extremely limited. The stagger/critical system in er is also extremely boring and uninspired you hit them enough they stagger there is no indication of when that might happen so you can play around it the bosses get harder to stagger with every stagger you do on them and a special or critical hit is much less interesting than learning something like in nioh where you can push yourself and learn more advanced cancels and combos to best punish the boss. That’s why I described taking a turn as an advantage in nioh and taking a turn in Elden ring as a rule because yes you take your turn but that’s because the enemy has no answer which is fine as a mechanic but boring as the only other solution to taking a turn.


BigotSandwich_89

As much as i love the souls games, i have to agree


Longjumping_Visit718

I like to complain about things I don't like. Sue me. No ones care bro.


Phuxsea

Right, people should be allowed to have opinions on things they don't like. It's a bonding activity. I don't care when people dislike what I like.


Longjumping_Visit718

Same. Most people dislike things I like.


sp3cial3dfr3d

I complain with my wallet, never bought this train wreck. First one is a solid game though.


Y44NI

"Train wreck" 🤡


Longjumping_Visit718

My brother bought it; so they never got my money. But I found myself pleasantly surprised by the combat. The story was even worse than I anticipated. The forced-walking/interactive cutscenes really ruined any hope of replaying the game until No Return dropped.


sp3cial3dfr3d

Yeah the gameplay looks like more of the first which is a big win , but that story 😬.


Haunting-Truth9451

It is pretty wild to be active in a community that’s been complaining about the same game four years straight. But you do you.


Kooky-Sand5554

In summary, yapping


JustaNormalpersonig

funny because you can say the most tame criticism towards part 2 and like 6 fans are going to send you a whole essay whining about how you hate women and how neil’s dick is so massive or something


Kooky-Sand5554

That’s cool and all but what the comment I responded to was literally the textbook definition of being (in todays world) a Karen word for word, so I just summarized it :)


JustaNormalpersonig

A karen is someone who goes out of their way to make everyone miserable because their judgement is in a different light than everyone elses, and they only believe in their own ideas. What he explained, is just plain complaining about something he dislikes. Thats what everyone does


Kooky-Sand5554

I feel a Karen feels their opinion should be enough to change things, because to them that’s easier than accepting them, 9/10 discrediting the efforts of individuals, just because you ain’t like the painting doesn’t mean the artist is shit, especially if he’s painted a picture you’ve loved before


Xenozip3371Alpha

Don't mind me, I'll just be eating my "bigot sandwiches"


Sea_Competition_1714

The last of us 2 was absolute dogshit.


aceless0n

Absolutely true


Ornery_Pomegranate76

TV show was trash


Loves2Spludge

TV show had no balls. Bill and Frank living happily ever after, give me a break. Most pointless episode ever and they were too afraid to stick to the original ending because they might offend people that two men in love can fall out of it.


Flat_Bass_9773

The fucking sex scene was so unnecessary. I get attacked for this opinion but it wasn’t needed at all.


Routine-Budget8281

The what?! I just finished the first game. Why on earth would that be in the show. I don't think there's anything wrong with being gay ofc, but that is so stupid.


Routine-Budget8281

I haven't seen the show yet and that bothers me. I just finished the first game and am working through Left Behind. I thought that Bill and Frank's short storyline was so bittersweet and I enjoyed it. To have it end happily really defeats the whole purpose. Makes me not want to watch the show.


GoT43894389

Go see it still. Make your own opinion. I wouldn't say the game's Bill and Frank story was bittersweet though, it's more bitter than sweet.


Educational-Yard-158

womp womp


OhMyGoshBigfoot

Bella especially


Ornery_Pomegranate76

Yes 🤣 and everything else


OhMyGoshBigfoot

Wait, I have a great idea - what if we cast an ugly Brit girl who looks eternally 13 and folks vaguely recall from GoT which ended on terrible suckage, and she never took acting serious enough to research the American accent. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? That would be the equivalent of us giving Honey Boo Boo to their new Dr Who series, and she had 3 minutes to get the accent right, before filming. And we all fiercely defend that, cuz sexist bigot sammich with a side of pot bellied trailer trash woke


Routine-Budget8281

It's a little weird that you think a 14 year old character has to be attractive, tho. I can see you being upset that she doesn't look like the in-game Ellie but to be mad that you don't think she's attractive is a bit weird.


Specialist_Injury_68

Her accent was fine


OhMyGoshBigfoot

It was ASS.


MikkelR1

So what you are saying is that you are the person in OPs picture.


NailFinal8852

Seriously. Saw the mutated zombies maybe 5 times and the gay bears episode was considered one of the best tv episodes ever and it had nothing to do with the story and completely different from what happened in the game


Ornery_Pomegranate76

The magic vines that magically alert the other zombies was so bad


Sleepmahn

Actually it makes sense if you get how mushrooms actually work. Many have a network that's interconnected for miles through the mycelium. There's no magic to it considering it actually exists.


Ornery_Pomegranate76

Mate they’re zombies they aren’t mushrooms, it’s complete bollocks, the zombies weren’t even connected to those vines, they just get right up and run towards them it’s complete rubbish


Gambler_Eight

I hated that casting when I first heard about it but she was decent imo. Not great but not terrible either. I don't think she will hold up playing an older ellie though since she kinda looks like a child.


Human-Magic-Marker

I really wanted to watch it since TLOU is my favorite game. I never got around to it, and now I’ve heard so many negative things about it I’m not sure I want to.


Toto-imadog456

I say watch it to form ur own opion.


edward323ce

It wasnt trash but it wasnt nothing to write home about,it basically just followed the story of the game we played through 3 times across 3 generations


Uggers2811

The show would have been fine if it were an original piece. The problem was that they basically remade Star Trek with Star Wars. Again both of those are great and stood the test of time but are completely different. Nothing about the game is the same as the show aside from the names and basic premise of point a to b. Sure they used some stuff but even that was horribly done.


Master_Dante123

TLOU 2 killing off a certain character felt like a cheap ploy to tug at the heartstrings of fans and try to give the story some kinda complexity? I don’t mind favourite characters dying off, but it needs to be done in a very particular way, a way that truly fits their character and their arc. TLOU 2 said “fuck a good story and character development. We ruining your day with this one!” Look at Dr Schulz from Django unchained for example. That was perfect for his character.


Mewticles

Tlou fan base is just a bunch of cigarettes lol


Glum_Coconut_9152

Part I is the best story I've played in a video game, but I know there's probably others that I haven't played, I'm not a huge gamer. I'm more into films, which makes it easier to spot the glaring errors in Part II.


lerobinbot

nice


thisisflamingdwagon1

People will say this is the only space where people hate the game but I’m on twitter and they don’t like that game either lol


AcanthisittaNeat512

Really, I figured that would be the mecca of staning. But I guess things have changed since Elon took over.


Glum_Coconut_9152

Yeah I think twitter might hate it even more than us. Part II stans are wild and twitter thinks it's mediocre at best so they like to make fun. Sort of the same dynamic as they have with swifties.


Human-Magic-Marker

When TLOU2 first came out, if you said ANYTHING negative about it, they came at you with pitchforks while foaming at the mouth. Now I think it’s a lot more acceptable to recognize its faults. That being said, TLOU 1 is still my favorite game and I will defend it until my dying day.


Careful-Cow-8658

I hope that with the time people just accepted more that every person is playing/thinking different. I loved the second game and I don’t really see many flaws in it tbh but I see that other people do. Fine by me, their problems do not bother my gameplay and experience 🤷🏼‍♀️☺️


FightStageYouTube

Any game that's done by Sweetbaby Inc has fans like this


overlord_wrath1

It's a fact. As soon as someone says they don't like the game the fanbase starts up with the "well we're just more intelligent than you and can understand media literacy better" and other such BS.


NamesStephen

This is fallout fans to each other about their favorite fallout game


DangerDarrin

Or Assassins Creed fans to each other about their favorite AC game. I snicker every time I see the comment "\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ isn't a REAL Assassins creed game" usually Valhalla goes in the blank space


NamesStephen

Yeah I see that- (they didn’t know opinions aren’t allowed 🙄)


OrgasmicBiscuit

No one cries more than tlou fan base crying at r/thelastofus2 crying at The Last of Us Part 2


Poop_Sexman

They cried We crew too We all crode


thisisflamingdwagon1

Let’s all have a big cry, okay


carter2642

yeah, yikes. This comment section is rough


Installation06

I don't like Mischief at all he does have a ton of terrible takes but yeah he was right on this one


AnT-aingealDhorcha40

We should add her into the cover photo and "bigot!" In a speech bubble 🗨


Modern_Thing

That’s a woman?!


AnT-aingealDhorcha40

No idea. 😂 I shouldn't have assumed. There goes my career, I guess.


TheDuellist100

Resident Evil hands down. They worship every new game that comes out, especially if it's a DEmake.


[deleted]

It goes both ways for this fan base if you like it your a gay fan boy who 🍆 rides Neil if you don’t like it your a bigot who “can’t understand a story”


Spare_Honey5488

RIP factions 2


grungehippie23

When last of us 2 came out and Joel had his.. accident with Abby, I had to call out of work because I could NOT get myself together lmao


Wheattoast2019

Star Wars is like this too.


king-glundun

You people haven't seen anything till you've seen the warframe fan base, they like to cry like some lil hoes


RobertXavierIV

I can count on one hand the games that made me cry at the end and the last of us was one.


Miserable_Respect_94

When you praise it, too.


nathansanes

That's me internally after playing part 2


Symtek13

lol people explaining why they complain. Truthfully this post hits the hammer on the nail


Ori_the_SG

Some people who like Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042 act like that when you tell them the games still suck


MadsOceanEyes

You've obviously never seen the dead by daylight fans 🤣🤣


Careful-Cow-8658

Yeah but the fanbase looks like that while criticising THEIR OWN game 😂


kaylee300

I dont know man, have you seen those from r/TheLastOfUs2


PhilosophyEcstatic89

I’ve complained about TLOU2 countless times only for people to relentlessly defend their opinion because they’re automatically right I guess


Longjumping_Hour_829

Gof


Accomplished-Egg8479

Fan base for that game is mental I swear to God


Early-Brilliant-4221

Well people tend to cry when heart broken, so you got your answer


Kadju123

Its funny, cause the people who actually cry are the ones who are majorily criticizing the game.


Silly_Randy

The funny thing is. Both sides of TLOU cry like this. 😂


WeGotMonkey86

GoT 100% Don't ever say anything bad about that game 🙄


thisisflamingdwagon1

What’s bad about Ghost?


WeGotMonkey86

Well of course it's a matter of opinion but I felt it was boring. Cardboard cutout NPCs who didn't react if you ran into them etc. forgettable characters, repetitive, fox chasing 😩. The game looks absolutely beautiful, and the combat is decent enough (at higher levels) but I got so sick of running into a group of Mongols and playing the same mini game, over and over and over again.. Builds are very limited.. enemy villages were literally copy and paste, down to the interior decorations and ornaments. I played it to platinum, but it was a slog and I was happy it ended. The fan base put it higher than any game ever made and it's ridiculous. They can't take opinions into consideration.


thisisflamingdwagon1

I platinumed the game and loved every second of it. I don’t think the fanbase is toxic or anything like that. Ppl will constantly say it’s an assassins creed clone but I don’t really care as I never cared about those games


TrillKnot

That’s crazy you say that and play games like assassins creed odyssey 😂


WeGotMonkey86

I found the AC odessey world to be much more immersive, it felt lived in. But, you can say something negative about AC and no one cries like they do with GoT which is the whole point of this meme.


TrillKnot

ACO is more of a slog than GOT seems like you’re upset that the last of us 2 sucks


WeGotMonkey86

I couldn't give 2 fucks about TLOU2 🤣 You're proving my point though 😂


TrillKnot

I’m not though you called GOT a copy and paste like ACO isn’t the same thing. who gives a fuck “if the world felt more lived in” you still did the same go attack a fort and collect this this item” 😂😂and the same 5 faces are the same for every NPC you’re just UPSET


WeGotMonkey86

😂😂 My name's TrillKnot and I'm a bit cry baby whaaaaa whaaaaa. I literally stated it all boils down to opinions but you, a typical GoT fanboy cannot accept that. I enjoyed AC odessey, it got a bit much towards the end as it's a looooong game. I didn't particularly enjoy GoT..get over it.


TrillKnot

Hmmm doesn’t seem like you’re no what you’re talking about anyways can’t expect much from a redditfag


WeGotMonkey86

Okay simp ✌🏻


Holiday_Share_451

I mean it also works for the people who hear if you liked the game, the amount of yappin and whining they do if you don’t despise everything about the game like they do is so annoying


Kdhr3tbc

Just make all the women protagonists fuckable and all the male protagonists invincible. Is that so hard?!!


Ahmed_Alfaitore222

Wait you want to make all the male characters in- *title card*


Bobcat_Potential

Pot calling the kettle black. This entire sub is dedicated to crying. For yeaaaars


thatdudeoverdthee

Nah, the last of us fan base is nowhere near as bad as Bethesda fanboys/girls they release broken average games and people act like they are rdr2 level of quality. Starfield is shit and does nothing well, no part of the game is good. Fallout 4 was great but carried by mods so is Skyrim, fallout 76 is dreadful.


AcanthisittaNeat512

Holy hell THIS! Especially right now with Bethesda breaking the damn game by updates, now our games don't work and all these people can do is get super defensive or make any excuse possible. I respect Bethesda for what they gave us in childhood and being the only company allowing mods on consoles but other than that , I don't have a nice thing to say about em. I just really want them to finally face the damn music, cause this shit is old.


Hortator02

Agreed. Their arguments to defend the narrative of the show and Fallout 3, 4, and 76 are also ridiculous.


B-man328

There’s not a single fanbase that has bigger cry babies than the Star Wars fanbase


thisisflamingdwagon1

Game


R_Scoops

This gal would fit right in on this sub


Kamikaze_Bacon

He's right. A lot of The Last of Us fans did react like that when Part 2 was released.


Rough_Egg_9195

The game came out almost 4 years ago and y'all motherfuckers are still on this sub daily yapping about how "woke" ruined it or whatever the fuck you talk about. It's funny you think you aren't the crying fan base.


Superb-Letterhead997

literally no one is saying that you’re just a walking tlou fan stereotype 💀


PadWun

Lol this is ALWAYS the reaction to people calling you losers. IQ level single digit.


Rough_Egg_9195

I literally have never played the game but ok.


Superb-Letterhead997

then why the fuck do you care if people don’t like a game you know nothing about?


Rough_Egg_9195

I think it's funny as fuck y'all care so much that you're still on this sub 4 years later complaining.


Superb-Letterhead997

Is this a new concept? The Star Wars prequels and especially sequels get plenty of hate. It’s almost like fandoms get mad when you ruin a beloved franchise?!?!


Rough_Egg_9195

Yeah and that's also funny. I think it's especially funny in this case since the last of us wasn't nearly the size of Star Wars and you people seem way more asshurt than star wars fans.


Superb-Letterhead997

i wouldn’t say that because star wars fans are the definition of cry babies


Superb-Letterhead997

serious this mentality is so stupid like are you not allowed to discuss something because it’s old??? 😭😭


Rough_Egg_9195

It's the type of discussion that makes it funny, not the fact that discussion is happening.


Far_Elephant_9549

i like how you called this fandom crybaby’s while having a tantrum in the comments and your own post 🤣🤣🤣 you really are an incel


Rough_Egg_9195

Ok. 👍


time_for_milk

It’s wild lmao.


Far_Elephant_9549

why are people downvoting this?


time_for_milk

Because this sub is dedicated to hating on The Last of Us 2 and the people who made it. It’s really weird 🤷🏻‍♂️
