Spoilers for old ending vs new ending.
Old ending: Misako and Kyoko spend the game trying to rescue your kidnapped boyfriends, while being taunted by Hatsube and Mami who are claiming to be their real girlfriends. At the end of the normal game (no secret boss fight), the girls find their boyfriends and it's revealed that Hatsube and Mami have been the real girlfriends all along, and the Misako and Kyoko were delusional and had convinced themselves that they were dating the boys (who were never really kidnapped). After finding all the collectables, you can go to the final boss room and instead of the final boss, you fight Hatsube and Mami. The only difference between the normal boss ending and secret boss ending is that the cutscene will say Hatsube and Mami's name instead of the normal final boss' name.

The changed secret ending is: After finding all the collectibles and beating the normal final boss, you can go back and fight Hatsube and Mami. Unlike the old update, this time the true ending has the girls finding the boyfriends and it's revealed that they were never kidnapped, just that they had a day at the spa. The girls hold hands with their boyfriends and go to get food together. It's definitely a lot happier and doesn't make the main characters psychos. The old true ending isn't accessible anymore, but it's essentially the same thing as the normal ending, which is still here and needs to be seen in order to get the new true ending.

I liked it, especially couch co-op with a few different friends. Spritework is top notch, enjoyed the manga cinematics and environments/weapons/enemies. Music was cute, some people hate it but anyone I played with liked it. JackSepticEye and Game Grumps voice cameos were absolutely terrible, but they're minor. Story ending was shit, but it's gotten better, it's an overall recommend from me, especially with the door fix; fighting near doorways and abandoning your partner or shifting screens when you didn't want to was incredibly dumb, and I'm not sure how playtesters didn't report that before launch.

It was also a really fucking elaborate joke centered around the fact that Misako and Kyoko only dated the boys in one of the Kunio games that were never translated and brought to America and basically never happened.

It was needlessly confusing and it seems like the developers probably thought tons of people played all of the Kunio games instead of the reality that most people just played River City Ransom.

The Dodgeball games were also part of the series and the last one america got was the one on GBA. So it was the perfect storm of "Literal Who?" references.

Slapping a slab of raw meat you bought from the grocery store.

that's what makes most of those sounds. Although most foley artists hate using food for a one time thing because it's wasteful.

Gelatin also works for stuff like that.

Holy shit, make it stop! There is only so much my sides can take! :story::story::story:

First the infamous choking scene, Abby IT'S MA'AM Armstrong, Abby Woods PGA Tour aka Joel in one, the finger biting and the tranny sex. People are using so many memes to dunk on the game and Druckmann himself before the proper release date. How do you even do this? We'll know the full extend of this disaster in the near future once the sales figures are available, but dear God, this has the potential to be such a fuckup that it makes E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600 look like a minor oops by comparison.

I stand to what I said earlier about the writing. In a similar vein to A Serbian Film you have a deranged hipster high on his own farts and suffering from delusions of grandeur trying to be "shocking", "thought provoking", "avant-garde", "mature" and what have you. But the writing makes it painfully clear how the writer is just an incompetent pretentious hack pretending to be deep while using it as an excuse to make his own fetish film. In Spasojević's defense however, it should be noted that in A Serbian Film the protagonist literally skullfucks a villain to death. Druckmann instead offers us tans-lesbian melodrama. Speaking of which, the zombie apocalypse was kind of a stale and, poetically enough, undead genre until The Walking Dead turned it into a soap opera for hipsters. Thanks to Druckmann's galaxy brained writing, The Last of Us Part II has stooped to levels of hoakey melodrama and angst Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place and Spanish telenovelas would cringe at.

The greatest tragicomedy is how The Last of Us Part II, the attempted Devil May Cry reboot and to a lesser degree the new God of War and Tomb Raider games went out of their way to present themselves as genuine art and the ultimate proof how wrong the late Roger Ebert was (instead of just finally letting it go), but thanks to the tone deafness, incompetence, autism and delusions of the devs and especially the writing staff they end up proving him right.

A play the ancient Greeks would be proud of. :story:

What these hacks fail to realize is that for something to be art, it must be creative. It needs to add to the world. But all these people know how to do is destroy, to tear down. So they tear down something loved, point to the exposed insides, and claim they created something by showing the world what lies beneath.

But at no point did that ADD to anything, it only REMOVED.

Something like The Departed does the same thing... but it doesn't stop where these hacks do, it keeps going. It tears down the facade, then builds something up ontop of that exposed canvas. It destroys, to make room for it to create.

I'm going to be mad if this whole absurdity isn't going to be an even bigger shitshow than Mass Effect 3.
Seriously, even THAT game had some good parts in it, but with tLoU 2 i honestly can't think of even one sigle positive thing about it.

Honestly, that right there is probably why this won't explode as much. People saw the good in 3, realized how much better it COULD have been, and that just fueled the fire. There is nothing here to keep the reaction going. There is no way this "Might have been good".

good point
lots of people like circlejerking about muh cinematic art games, but at the end of the day, none of these games that try to be not-games are remembered as notable or outstanding.
the games people DO remember fondly for a long time are all games that are unapologetically video-game-y. recent example: witcher 3.
