“Critic” reviews have started to surface for the horribly despised The Last of Us 2, predictably leading to an avalanche of perfect scores from numerous outlets despite the fact that they are forbidden from discussing the latter half of the game.
Video reviewers and some written reviews noted that Sony imposed “strict review restrictions”, such as only allowing video footage from three specific sections of the game (about 4-5 hours of game time in a title surmised to be about 25 hours long), and forbidding discussion of characters and events in the second half:
A segment from one of the many shillings in existence, which indicates that reviewers were indeed forbidden from talking about certain aspects of the game:
“And it’s no small thing that Naughty Dog decided to primarily tell this story not with the typical white, straight, male antihero, but a gay woman. Ellie’s bisexual girlfriend Dina and a trans character (whose identity I’m not permitted to spoil) also play major roles. The women in the game don’t have the buxom bodies still popular among many game developers, but realistic and varied builds. This sort of diversity is still radical for a mainstream video game, though the core cast of characters remains primarily white, and the game avoids any acknowledgment of the glaring racial divide in this country, which would not simply dissipate in a post-apocalyptic world.”
While such stipulations are nothing new in the review world, such a specific guideline is only further proof that the story leaks are true and that the developer is trying to stifle the negatively-received writing in an attempt to secure purchases.
Even though there were hordes of fans angered at the story leaks for The Last of Us 2, critics have quite suspiciously been handing out perfect scores for the supposed zombie game, generating theories of money exchanging hands behind the scenes:
Reviewers being paid to give a s♥♥t game a good score, same as Death Stranding. Nothing new.
Every review says the exact same thing, just using different words & in different order. Almost like they were given a check and a list of bullet points to cover. Especially that it must not only be the “GOAT”, but that nothing about the game is any fun at all. Especially a certain 10+ hour “slog” of a 25 hour at-best game.
Actually it’s worse than that. For example The Verge literally said:
“The Last of Us Part II is uncomfortable and exhausting, but that’s what makes it great
And even starting the review with ” The Last of Us Part II isn’t fun. Over the game’s 20-hour runtime, I often found myself wanting to quit because the violence became unbearable.” And then they give it 10/10 lol.
All of them are like this and all of them give it 10/10.
The Last of Us Part 2 Receives 44 Perfect Scores of 10/10 Despite Being a Steaming Pile of Garbage

It’s well-known over the past two decades that game journos hang out together both in real life and in private social groups on the internet, and collude to decide how to review stuff. Many “opposing” outlets are run by the same few friend circles, sometimes even sharing offices, and they move staff between each other. There are also many examples of them receiving bribes and other bonuses.
Not to mention none of them are gamers who happen to write. They’re all “journalism” majors that are filthy casuals at best.
Look at Jeff “fatfuck” Gertsmann. He got sacked for being truthful about a mediocre game that at the time was buying ads on the site (gaymespot).
Jeff went on to create his own review site (giantgaybomb) only to sellout himself to the same people who fucked him over. Reviewers/journos are spineless faggots through and through.
Death Stranding reviewed as mediocre though.
In the West, in Japan it received like 42 perfect scores
Well it’s one of a kind experience so I understand why some people would love it.
Give Famitsu enough $$$$ and they’ll give anything a perfect score.
Japanese people mock Famitsu too.
except it didnt. It got 10/10s everywhere, despite the reviews all being “this game is not fun, the story is autistic dogshit”
So we got two Bandwagons in the west.
The BLM Anarchist/n♥♥♥♥r appreciation one
The Last of Us 2 is a good game one.
Neither are legitimate and are supported by clowns.
Haha..nah..not just clowns. Clowns alone do not a circus make. Much more.
(((clowns)))
ITT people who can’t call a jew a jew
But can still call you all the fucking fags that you are.
Funny how you calling him as a “Jew” despite the fact that the one that invented and pushing the degenerate faggot propaganda was the Jews.
Anyone giving a 100/100 for literally anything is already not credible. All these outlets are bought with ads.
It’s kind of strange. A review score of 100/100 is so obviously fake that it almost feels like the reviewer is trying to send a message like “Help! Sony has kidnapped my children and is holding them hostage!”
Exactly lol. Wait until Wikipedia cover it.
Agreed, anytime a game has dozens and dozens of perfect 10’s and 100’s you know that crap is paid for and should treated with high skepticism. Would have been better to give it high 80’s and low 90’s but then they would not get free stuff or invites to events anymore.
Propaganda is always blatant, never subtle.
Well, bad propaganda is blatant, good (or rather effective) propaganda is subtle. But people don’t do subtle these days. They only do blatant, due to a combination of arrogance and foolishness.
The power of Sony is worrisome on how they control almost all media.
And paid trips, banquets, special gifts, orgies, etc. Caught multiple times over decades, and the ignorant West still trusts them.
I’d give Metroid III a 100/100, since it doesn’t have flaws.
Super Metroid? Yeah, pretty much one of the only perfect games out there.
Yeah, it’s the great finale of a trilogy, so I call it by it’s original name, instead of the slap-super-in-front-of-every-title-because-the-console-is-called-super-nintendo one. Somewhere hidden inside the ROM is even the original title screen “Metroid III”, so that must have been a last minute decision by the suits at Nintendo to change the title.
Surprised to see you use the term ‘original’, Chen. I guess thieves ought to know where to steal from, yeah?
80/100 too many aliens
Overkill
So fucking paid off.. well everyone of them reviewers can’t be trusted for any reviews that is for sure.
I still don’t understand the reviewwing part though. I mean what they were saying in there exactly?
Nothing. Because they’re not allowed to spoil it, their reviews, especially the story, is nebulous. You can’t trust these scores being 100 when they’re being restricted.
imagine trusting people to review games like a libtard cuck instead of just pirating them or watching them on twitch like a chad king
All those perfect scores don’t reek of pathetic shilling , no shilling at all.
Aaaand this is why you never trust any of these big well known reviewers..I’d sooner take some guy’s personal vlog he does in his spare time more seriously. The moment money becomes involved, all bets are off on whether what you’re reading is genuine or complete shill. As we’ve all seen now, it is clear that integrity does indeed has its price..for every outlet.
And they even prohibit anyone to talk about the second half of the game where you play as the tranny golfer.
