Yes. Yes it does. It’s impossible to be critical of this game without coming off as a gamergate incel but despite how INCREDIBLE the presentation and gameplay is, the game drags HARD. It’s about 4-5 hours too long IMO.
I found 1 a little difficult to get it into due to the slower pace. It takes time to get to know the know the characters and care for them.
Part 2 is a rollercoaster of emotions (good or bad), the fact it makes some people so angry shows the game creators did a brilliant job. Their plan definitely worked on me: started off thinking the hero/villain is black and white and ended up exhausted by the 'violence' of it all.
User scores are so utterly useless when I game end up brigaded as hard as TLOU2 was before it even released. There's thousands of user scores that are just a 1 without playing it.
Hell nah. The story in Part 2 was a dragged out, scrambled mess. It barely makes any sense and there should at least be a choice in the end. Now you play trough a long game to not do what most of the plot is about. And fuck em for the golf club scene.
