TLOU2 is really a game that is too far up it's own ass.

Druckmann presents it as some sort of philosophical debate about "muh violence" when it is really a mish-mash of ideas poorly glued together, a narrative so garbage it's almost insulting, characters that do complete 180s, countless plotholes...the list goes on.

This game is nowhere near Spec Ops: The Line or Hotline Miami in terms of the violence debate. TLOU2 is 'The Last Jedi' of video games and Druckmann is the Rian Johnson of AAA gaming. Thanks Druckmann (7 years btw).

Add some transphobic undertones and you have yourself a summary of the opinions of /r/thelastofus2, opinions which seem to have been formed not from playing the game but instead reading the leaks and/or by watching some Twitch streamer trash the game as they play through it.

And among these general statements, I have yet to see anything specific. What exactly are the plotholes? How exactly it is a mish-mash? How is the narrative garbage? How is it like "The Last Jedi"?
