Remember when Naughty Dog used to make games like Jak & Daxter and Uncharted while not being held hostage by a egotistical Zionist who believes he can do no wrong and a bigger company who so desperately wants the same 7 franchises they've relied on heavily since 2017 to be cinematic video game showcases so they can easily translate them into movies and TV shows because said-company's previously existing movie/TV IPs have either underperformed or is forced to have shared custody with the Mouse™?

On a completely unrelated note the Last of Us Part II is a very nothing remaster and they're now announcing the new cast for season 2 of the show.

Remember when people truly didnt care about peoples political views and reviews was just awesome to read. But now mostly people are so brainwashed by stuff from all over the internet and TV and god knows what, that you cant just say "i didnt like this because this and that". Now main problem is that author is a Zionist, or a Biden supporter, or a Trump supporter, or Liberal, or far-right.

@pepefrogee yeah yeah that's cool and all but considering how the creator came out and said how one of the game's biggest conflicts is influenced by the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the whole "separate the art from the artist" means so little after a certain point and even then, that's not even the whole point to this

@JoeNathan yeah, inspiration for the first game was situation when you got to trade one soldier for 15 prisoners, and that result in a story about fathership and how much can we do for our loved ones.
Part 2 however also tell us that wars keep happening because people just can't forgive. Conflict in Israel and Palestine is almost 100 years old and there is still no end to it, nobody even witnessed start of it and just have to kill and kill and kill.
My point is. Even if it is inspired by Palestinian-Israel conflict, it is still independent story, 30 years later people will get it. And 30 years later your comment about "he is Zionist = he is bad" wont mean anything.

@pepefrogee Congrats for literally proving my point about how this isn't a situation where you can separate the art from the artist, when a story has influences from politics and real-world conflicts, it does not matter if it's just an "independent" story, because it becomes inherently political by default from said influences. Boiling down what's going on between Palestine and Israel as a simple "cycle of revenge and killing" is at best a very narrow simplification of it and at worst downplaying it entirely when there's a lot more history to it that isn't just "both sides killing is bad". Also extremely bold of you to assume you think 30 years from now people will just "get it" as if TLOU2 isn't one of the most divisive video games in history even now and that's going to be its entire legacy no matter how you spin it, and given the current situation over there right now, Druckmann's beliefs might not be something people are just gonna brush over without a thought depending on the outcome.

@JoeNathan No we can seperate, and we did. Almost nobody outside Palestine-Israel cared about their conflict in 2020 and game received several goty's, because you dont need to know about it when you experience the game.
But whatever, i just got mad because you didn't even review the game.

@pepefrogee Nobody cared in 2020 because everyone was too hyperfocused on the controversary surrounding the game and how it handled completely different aspects of the game. A piece of media can have things nobody may pick up on at first that later can be noticed and discussed by people and the implication it brings, there's nothing wrong with that. The GOTY accolades can also be brought into question when again, there were a lot of pushback by non-journalists over the game and its writing, there's been plenty of times when there's a divide on those fronts. I didn't just make a review on this to do some silly bit and kick down on TLOU2 because it's fun to do, but as someone's who already played the game years ago, I wanted to point out how goofy that this is even being sold as a "remaster" despite little to no visual changes and all they did was slap a few new features on it and called it a day when they could've allocated resources towards literally anything else, especially when there was already a lot of head-scratching when they remade a game that already has a remaster readily available on the same console prior to this. I'm not over here trying to start problems for the fun of it but I can't help but to feel as though they could've done more with this if at all.
