God of War didn't deserve a consensus of acclaim, it deserved a range of critical perspectives. Doom (2016) didn't deserve a consensus of acclaim, it deserved a range of perspectives. To whatever extent TLOU2 might be receiving a range of critical reactions, that is a good thing

Hmm yeah not really sure what people are talking about, that’s not exactly a big range of scores or anything. https://twitter.com/nibellion/status/1271339025660592129?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1271339025660592129 …

Wow very divisive game. Is it great or extremely great?!

This isn't a reaction to the game itself which I haven't played & look forward to making up my own mind about. Just frustrating that some people out there flip out when there's even this minimal amount of divergence in critical reactions. What do you all think criticism is for?!

You should see my Instagram notifications right now. Absolute outrage and I liked the game?? (I also fully expected the scores to be much more divisive)

Getting some "why don't you go play with dolls" responses as if the game starring a queer woman isn't more for me than for them

Fuuuuuuuck. Fuck that. That's just shallow patriarchal stupid "brutal violence automatically equals smart sophisticated storytelling and if you don't get that then it's clearly not for you" gatekeeping bullshit.

And all that anger for an 8? Forgive me for trying to navigate the nuances of a game I ultimately liked

Exactly. It's such an anti-intellectual, anti-art reaction, really.
