I was talking about metacritic votes with comments. You seem to talk about something else.

You are deliberately misrepresenting what I wrote to sound superior, but in reality it only makes you sound stupid.

I thought you were talking about the awards now, since I shown you a reason why there may be a lot of new accounts voting. That sub alone has more than all the reviews, positive, negative and neutral combined.

Either way, you are the one dividing votes you agree or disagree on into empty and honest. There is valid criticism to the game but there is also a lot to like. You don't even touch the subject of the tsunami of bad reviews on the first hours of the day of release before anyone had the time to pass more than a couple of chapters even, or from the sea of one liners reviews or the reviews witch have as base of containing LGBT characters, because that sure hell is a one big sea of empty criticism you just chose to ignore. And you talk about deliberately misrepresenting? lol.

You project all kinds of crap into my post which has nothing to do with what I said. I misrepresented what? Please. Basically this: people were legitimately angry about naughty dog (as far as I see it not because of the forced lesbian stuff but because the hero of the first game was killed off in a humiliating way, but, that's besides the point) so these votes were legitimate votes of gamers. The counter votes were not. As I said I read hundreds of them and checked their profiles, they are fake (bought) votes.
Your only argument would be 'the cause justifies the means', because you somehow see more then there is, you make it about LGBTQ and whatever. That's projecting. My whole point from the beginning was, I said I find vote faking appaling and I add, corrupt.

I haven't done much keeping up with Naughty Dog's works these years, to be honest. The last game of theirs I played to the finish was waaay back in the days of the PS2 with the first Jak & Daxter game; Jak II and III left a bad taste in my mouth with their switch to the third-person shooter and GTA-styled world mechanics and I ended up as a fan of the Ratchet & Clank series, instead. I was curious to see what Uncharted was about, but I've never been able to get a PS3 to try the series, let alone a PS4.

However, I will say that from what I've seen lately, catching up on this news... I can't say I would have enjoyed the direction Naughty Dog went at all. I'm just not really that big into the cinematic storytelling slant most game companies are going for these days; when I want my fill of that, I fire up Final Fantasy XII on a PS2 or on my Switch with the Zodiac Age/IZJS editions on either. Not to mention, the cases of abuse in the industry from them just reek of hot nonsense I thought petered out a few years ago.

How did a company fall so far and so ungainly?

Nobody was paid as far as there is evidence of. If you went to TLOU original subreddit there used to be a stickied thread that read:

Don't forget to give your honest opinion on the metacritic page.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-last-of-us-part-ii

Within mere hours of the release of a 30h game (that means it takes multiple days for normal humans to complete), The Last of Us Part II already had more reviews than God of War has 2 years after release. Furthermore, as the days passed and more people finished it, the score rose from 3.3 to the current 5.3. Regardless of your opinion on the game, one fact is undeniable: the current metacritic rating is a product of review bombing, and does not reflect people's actual opinions on the game.

I am not asking you to go rate it 10/10. I'm not even asking you to go give it a good rating. If you think it's a 4/10 game, by all means, please leave a sincere review and rate it 4/10.

Bonus: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6298000

All I ask is that you help the metacritic rating reflect what people actually think about the game. So go give it your honest opinion, positive or negative!

So naturally, many fans went and created an account to review it.

I meant you have everything I wrote just above, it's really sad you're just making stuff up about what I say and didn't say.

Means of what, asking the fan base their honest reviews? lol.

You are apparently deluded. Talk about sad...
