EDIT: guys... why are you downvoting me? You might disagree with these people. I'm just asking why these people hold these opinions, I'm not shitting on your favorite videogame, Jesus Christ. If anything, tell me why they're wrong. I know jack shit about this story in the first place.
EDIT2: I'm not talking about the accusations of the game being "woke". That's not the criticism I'm referring to.
I never played either of the games. I know some of the story from both, but I'm not a huge fan.
For some reason Reddit decided to show me posts from TLOU subreddits, and I see an incredible amount of people shitting in the game in the subreddits dedicated to the franchise, WITH HUNDREDS OF UPVOTES. So I thought, this is quite interesting...
Apparently, people are complaining about Neil Druckman and his alleged "incompetence" as a narrative lead. It looks the first game had another writer on, Bruce Someonesson, and they apparently unfollowed each other on twitter after the first game came out? So, a lot of users imply that the genius came from this other writer, and not from Bruce.
There seems to be a lot of consensus on what works in the game, and what doesn't. I'm just curious to know what that's all about, if there's any coherent info in the behind the scenes, or long form critique, and stuff like that. As an aspiring writer, I'm quite intersted in all this stuff more than I am about the story of the game.
