I thought it was an awful trailer that seemed to have nothing to do with The Last of Us. Not because of the violence though.

People are complaining about how this game is SJW, but no one is talking about how it was just a five minute cutscene of a game that will probably be mostly walking and talking, along with even longer cutscenes. I thought I was watching The Walking Dead Negan beat down style with the whole hammering going on.

In other words, it's a "Let's Play" title that you can just sit down and watch on Youtube, is that correct?

Yeah, TLOU 2, like original title, it has so high standards when it comes to its story, lore and direction of cinematics, voice acting, scripting, quality of cutscenes that if you dont want to play it, you can easily go watch all cutscenes combined for story alone on youtube and experience something great without even play it. Its that great and shows the high standards ND put into their story telling and cinematic appeal. Whats wrong with that? Jealous? No such experience on Switch, your secondary platform so we start dissing such experiences ?

We said before, the more options the better for people like me that liking all kind of different experiences unlike you. And i cant wait TLOU 2, original was one of the best games ive played last generation.

Dont be hypocrites, we all know you gonna buy this for your PS4.

Don't be an idiot, I don't buy boring games. Also, I thought you don't own a PS4 and just PC game exclusively? The truth finally comes out!

They're doing it for clicks.

Polygon is fake gamers heaven.

Seriously. Remember watching them try to play Doom?

Yeah, that was utterly embarrassing.

Why am an idiot, because i like all kind of different gaming experiences unlike you ? I dont own a PS4 but i rent a PS4 whenever i want with the game i want and this is day 1. Soon ill do this for Mario Odyssey.

PC is my only and true platform, everything else is secondary to me.

It is getting annoying to see so much violence and gore in AAA games nowadays. It's almost juvenile how much AAA gaming is obsessed with violence and gore.

However, Naughty Dog does at least try to make sense of the violence and gore, unlike most AAA studios.

Wasn't nearly as bad as the article made it out to be. I think the person that wrote it might be a ninny.

Nowadays, video games are more violent than film and television.

A video game trailer made you uncomfortable. Good. Art is supposed to do that.
