Although the hate the game received does merrit a discussion, I do not think it has a place in a review. When reading your review I want to know your opinion. What other people or the industry in large think of it is of no concern to me. If I want their opinion I would read their review. Or go to metacritic if I want all the opinions in one place. So stuff like the quoted above weakens the review in my opinion, because it makes it look like you need other opinions to form your own opinion.

The talk what other people find about it, either positively of negatively, should be in a seperate article in mine opinion.

I wanted to comment on it, it is my opinion that its disgusting how people are reacting and I used my review to express that. It could be a seperate article for sure but whatever. Also my reviews have always covered other points of view I want it to be informative on all aspects not just the ones I feel.

I noticed that you talk about other opinions in your other reviews, so that is why I mentioned it. Also trying to give other points of view is commendable, but would it not be just easier to link one to metacritic or other reviews? And if, for example, you ever get an early review copy of a Resident Evil game, how would you manage then?

I know enough about how people feel about games and where I am different to know to give examples of how others might feel about something I know I dont care about. I got many games early this gen, MGSV, Uncharted 4, Horizon, no reviews were out and I was giving constant impressions as I went. MGSV in particular I knew many people would have an issue with it, I didnt cause I could play in the playground for 100 hours but those looking for structure I knew would have a tough time so I made sure to mention that.

TLOU2 comment about the reaction I almost never do in a review. I will mention, oh some people critisize this aspect of the game and I feel this about that critique and so on. But I am so disgusted by the reaction to the game and really it was a reaction to spoilers so I know it wasn't based on the quality of the game but the content of the story that bothered certain people. I just had to say something. It has no bearing on the score which is my final measurement of enjoyment, its an amazing game.

The best change to the gameplay so far (and there are quiet a few I dig), is that on survivor if you kill someone when you are low on ammo, or are about to have no ammo, they don't immediately drop a good chunk of ammo for a gun. I've actually been surprised by the early stretch of the game where the ammo count has impacted the context of a lot of fun scenarios. Admittedly, before Tomas gives me shit, its also a by product of the fact that I've been hoarding the shit out of Health packs, and not overly filling up on bombs n shit. so I always have left over crafting material.


But I have been big on using said at least a trap bomb and a molotov in a lot of exchanges. Especially with those gas bag fuckers.
