How did the Last of Us Part 2 win the game awards 2020?

Game Awards 2020 is the best game of 2020. The previous game awards were held with many people, but due to COVID-19 Pandemics, they were broadcast in different locations. Every year, many people's attention is focused on the game awards. Because no one knows which game will take the place of glory. Of course, a rough estimate is possible, but it's very difficult to predict it accurately.

There were quite a few variables in 2020. Due to the epidemic, the majority of games have been delayed in release, and people's economic activities have decreased, resulting in less sales of games than in 2019. Many great games have been nominated for the award, but the last of them is The Last of Us Part 2. In this post, let's find out what kind of game The Last of Us Part 2 is and how it was loved by people.

The Last of Us

The Last of Us Part 2 is a sequel to The Last of Us, released in 2013. The Last of Us depicts a future story set in 2033. To give an overview of the game's story, in 2013, an unidentified fungus spread to humans, killing or becoming infected or becoming infected zombies. In 2033, 20 years after the incident, survivors were hiding throughout the city, avoiding infections and looters attacking survivors. People leave and cities that are not managed become ruins. In this desperate situation, the main character, "Joel," is a story about taking another main character, "Elly," safely to his destination at the request of a friend.

The Last of Us is a game that boasts such great perfection that it is selected as the best video game of the 2010s by Metacritic. The Last of Us received awards at almost every game awards ceremony held that year in the year it was released, and had huge sales. IGN, which gives very little points when evaluating games, gave 10 out of 10 points.

inherit the reputation of one's previous work

When the original is a very good work, the follow-up works generally do not surpass the original. The same is true of this game. But that doesn't mean it's a game that eats away at the reputation of its previous work. This game itself is a great game.

To explain the cool parts of this game, it has a very nice system. The fun of the battle has been better than the previous one, as a strategy to lure nearby infections to the enemy can be used and close combat is so good that it can quickly throw weapons, dodge and surprise them. And it has very nice graphics and OST. It probably has the best graphics ever released in PS4 games. It's the background where the cool graphics reach their peak. The background graphics are so good that I feel like I'm watching a movie instead of playing a game.

But mixed reviews

In general, when evaluating a game after it is released, the evaluation of users and critics rarely matches. But this game is so polarized. Critics' evaluation of the game is generally positive, with scores high enough to rank fifth among PS4 games and fourth among PS4 games, but players' scores are very low compared to critics' scores.

There is a reason for this bad evaluation by users. In the first film, the two people, who had nothing to do with each other, met and made a journey between life and death, creating a wonderful process of becoming precious beings to each other. But in the second film, Joel and Ellie were forced to pay for what they had to do to live with themselves. Of course, they did it for survival, but they did harm to others. But even so, killing the characters in the previous film cruelly is a great rejection to those who play the previous one.

I was also angry.

I honestly played this game fairly well. There are many PC elements in the story. But I don't think it completely ruined the game. I think the factor that completely ruined the game is the character, Abby. She ruined the story that followed her previous work and interfered with the game's immersion. Without this character, the game would have gone beautifully.

The biggest problem is the ending that the producer has chosen at will. Players don't want to empathize with Abby. However, the producer forces it. Players must force Abby to play, and players who value the story must destroy the characters they have seen with attachment from the first movie. I don't think it's right to force such a hard choice. In general, a game that values a story is an increasingly changing ending depending on the player's choice from the beginning of the scenario. Of course, there are many cases where the ending does not change and proceeds as it is. If you want to satisfy the player at this point, you need to show a great ending. But the ending of this game is honestly the worst.

It's so upsetting not to let Ellie kill Abby at the last minute. I'm not ready to forgive her, but the game makes me forgive her. Everyone knows that "revenge is vain, and you must forgive your opponent to break the chain of revenge." But is it necessary to force these lessons?

But this game is a successful game.

That's right. Nevertheless, this game is a successful game. Although he failed to satisfy the players, he received rave reviews from critics. And he has won awards at numerous game awards. The honor of the most GOTY is hard to get. The competition "Cyberpunk 2077" may have been delayed in release and failed to produce a proper game, but this game is still a game that deserves success.

As I explained earlier, the game is quite fun. You can play this game if you don't value the story too much because it has great graphics and combat systems. But I hope you don't forget that the game is based on the story.

Why did It come this far?

The person who made the game like this is director Neil Druckmann. Of course, director Lee showed great performance in Part 1. But his excessive political correctness insulted the game. Political correctness is never bad. It is an idea for those who are alienated from society, and if you live accordingly, there will be a happy and beautiful world for everyone. But forcing these ideas is very bad. Everyone has their own opinions. Most people in the world do not seek political correctness but do not discriminate against the underprivileged.

I think this game is wrong from the fact that I forced my thoughts into the player. What a funny thing. Many players curse and get angry, but it is a bitter situation that it has become a shining game in 2020.

to finish

At the end of 2020, I explained about The Last of Us Part 2, the game that represents this year. In fact, I don't agree with this decision. I think Ghost of Tsushima should have won the prize, not this game. There will be many players who agree with me. But what can we do? It's this game that already won the prize. If this game had only shown half of the 바카라사이트, I would have thought differently.
