Finished the game yesterday. I'd say this is the most daring sequel since MGS2, and in fact it goes a LOT further than MGS2 did in its time. I can tell why the game would be so polarizing. I was only spoiled a bit but I myself thought it sounded terrible. However, playing through the entire thing yourself changes everything. You find out all those little details about the characters' pasts, their motivations, their struggles. I'm so glad I decided to give this game a chance. I ended up loving it.
Spoiler for Spoilers for the entire game:
Gameplay wise, it was an improvement over the first game in every way. Even extremely mundane stuff like being able to break windows to enter closed rooms felt great. Lots of spectacular moments, as well. Had a lot of fun. Main disappointment is that only one area of the game was really huge. The scale of the rest of the game felt like it wasn't too different from the first game. Sales didn't end up being affected one bit by the leaks. We'll see if the game keeps selling in the long run though. Word of mouth might put some brakes. Or maybe not. It's actually hard to quantify how much people loved the game compared to the people who hated it (Metacritic is not a good indicator).

well here my 2 cents, while i don't played the game since i don't have a playstation 4 and not too found of playstation emulators, then i don't played even the 1 but read all the plot, history, saw gameplays and walkthrought and all well what i get which was really bad was really abbey and not because she is a trans or anything like that, but because she is poor worked and developed, because she ended getting exactly what she want, which was her vengeance and somehow get her "happy end" since while ellies not, she was a lot worked developed, going from "full vegeance" to near the end "get a change of mind" and all just to end like that, then i can understand the anger and critics about the "plot and script.
for what i get it was supposed to show how "vengeance" is bad and to break the cicle or hate and vengeance but it don't proper worked in the end and you feel like they just don't break it and keep the cicle. Also another problem is which this game as heavy focused on "humans" and less focused on the "monsters and apocalipse" much more like the walkind dead were the "walkers and the disease become less and less revelant and it focus more and more in "humans" and how nasty and worst they can be than the "monsters", the famous "humans are true monsters", you have more battles and moments against humand than the infected monsters. Another complain going to gameplay is the fact which "almost 100%" of the humans you fight are heavy armed and have infinity ammo, in a apocalipse world were "guns and ammos were supposed to be "more rare", feeling more like a "shooter action game". "now going from "another big issue i also had and 100% agree about this game and specially sony was the "censorship of sony and they hypocrisy, we had DMC with the "light beam censor and many japaneses games being heavy censored here in western but "this game have something even "more dire" tha many games and "not have the censorship ban, only in japan it get censored but here is perfect fine because "it's naught dog" and for that they can but any other game "can't. This angered me a lot and i do agree on that issue with many peoples, because it's show how much work "western censorship" and "values" nowadays.

i can understand peoples don't like the characters because they "dont lick with then" or don't like the script" and others things bu goes to length of "death threats" and the worst the networks "doing nothing" to stop it is something horrible, i'm totally in in "free of speech" but "hatefull speech and death threats is another history, you are not giving any valid argument or usefull than showing how crap you are as a person.

What's the reasoning behind this exactly? All she did was play a fictional character.
I doubt we'll hear her in another ND game again. She already got tons of shit for playing Nadine in Uncharted 4 because she wasn't black.

What I don't get is why they're going after her of all people. Is there information I'm missing (like her being involved with the writing, I don't know) or is people's hatred for a fictional character spilling over to the person who voiced her, which strikes me as completely irrational?

The Naughty Dog Twitter account made a comment about that while critical issues are welcome, the threats are going too far. I also follow Laura Bailey and the actress adressed these threats. I haven't heard of anything like this since Evangelion or the Star Wars prequels.

yeah this is not something new many "draw artists, mangakas, well creators in general get they "share" of death threats, specially in our beloved "twitter", this is why twitter nowadays i called the "trash dump" of internet, basically all the crap the human can do happens in twitter (others social networks but twitter is the most well know for that).
This is why sometmes i feel which zack snyder is really smart by using the "vero(a underground social network), because he keep himself safe from the "mob" from twitter while posting his news a so far very "safe place". Also she don't have to much of a lucky on that because if i'm not wrong another "voice actress role she had in another game", the game which i don't recall now the name, also get a lot of critics, she is really not lucky over that.

That kind of thing is pretty darn nuts, but sadly nothing shocking. Weirdly people will go after someone like that who just played a character. Not that it would be good to go after anyone. But at least direct criticism towards the director and writing staff...they made the characters do whatever they did.

I can relate to this. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is going insane and I am trying not to fall into insanity.
