Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us Part II is one of the video games that are meant to win the game of the year, whether you deserve it or not.
There is so much weight, gravity and organization in the thinking of the industry with this type of game. People say it’s super deep and that’s the way it is. People say it’s a masterpiece and therefore becomes a critic’s favorite, carried out. through a wave of praise. It meets all the requirements with all the right people, to the point that saying it is not the most productive game of the year is almost forbidden.
That makes you one of them. You know the kid. This type of basement housing that insurgents oppose SJW and think women have no position in video games. If you don’t go online and don’t act like The Last Of Us Part II essentially Schindler’s list or something like that, you have to be one of them, if you like, instead, you’re probably a social justice warrior in the worst of the ranks, or that’s what the outraged and tired warriors of the web tell us. or opposed to us, amirite?
I’m not sure I classify Naughty Dog’s fantasy of ultraviolet, ultra-dark, ultra-dark, ultra-dark revenge aimed at two white chicks who need to kill each other precisely as “awakened,” it turns out that much of the scene awoke from sleep and kissed him as such. If something, as the Kotaku reviewer says, “The diversity of the game, which I enjoyed at first, felt like an equivalent opportunity for other types of people to suffer as the game progressed. . “
They make you kill a dog, man. A dog.
But it’s not about what the game does yet, how it was interpreted through the two “sides” of this stupid political and ideological division in which we are located. There is a trans character in The Last Of Us Part II who, on the one hand, makes it a remarkable example of diversity in the game, and on the other hand, it is SJW propaganda. For most of us, it doesn’t matter. We’re not going to make a judgment about a video game by adding a trans user or not, we need to know if a game is fun, if its story is compelling, if it’s beautiful. We love smart characters, whether trans, Asian, homosexual or whatever.
Yes, The Last Of Us Part II looks good, but it’s not a laugh or convincing, and most of its characters are horrible. The story, about which I’ve spread a lot of ink, is a disaster, a youthful fantasy. revenge that surely ruins the ultimate productive character of the first game, Ellie, and writes his maximum productive moment, Joel, spending too much time instead. Abby, who is a surely unfriendly character.
Anyway, isn’t it, what game GOTY won?It’s just a vote from a video game point-of-sale organization that has, at least in years like this, a transparent result, a transparent favorite. We saw Metacritic scores and effusive reviews and the long parade of greetings from the “best game of all time” and we already knew it would win. It was inevitable even before its launch. Even in the years when the winners are less obvious, this is still largely a popularity contest. The same applies to all awards ceremonies, no more (but not all) times.
Don’t bother. Ghost Of Tsushima, in my opinion, was a much better game than The Last Of Us Part II. Or maybe you think Cyberpunk 2077 deserves to have won, but it never had a chance, as it just came out this week (just fair, actually Maybe the Game Awards deserve to be held in January so we can improve December releases.
The only thing the themes have nothing to do with scores, popularity contests or GOTY winners or anything like that. The only thing that has themes is what you enjoyed playing. Maybe Fall Guys is your GOTY. Impressive.
All I care about is what I enjoyed playing God, I’d probably give Gunfight mode in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare my GOTY award this year, even though this game was released in 2019. a lot and I enjoyed each and every moment of 2020. -Sure, but neither does that.
Your GOTY in 2020 may be Dark Souls if you wish, or more, as it should be the remake of Demon’s Souls on PS5 which is sublime. YouTuber Dunkey chooses last year’s releases in its videos of the most productive games of the year. Why not? We arrived at our favorite games years after its release. I guess there’s no smart way to do it without being married. Everything you enjoy doesn’t matter.
Don’t be mad at gotY’s winner. I don’t think The Last Of Us Part II deserves this award. I think the game was a miserable and too terrible disaster with a ridiculous revenge tale and decent gameplay (but hooboy those graphics were actually beautiful). But his victory doesn’t make me say anything about me or replace the way I value myself. I don’t care if you don’t like games I like or if you like games I don’t like.
The biggest challenge with fandom right now is being too worried about what others think or say about the things that excite us or just learning to avoid being worried and loving the bomb.
I write about video games, television and movies.
