    Ive seen all 90 mins worth of leaks and it has nothing to do with any of that. People will understand what all the fuss is about when they play the game.

    It surely can't be as bad as the FFVII Remake ending?

    If it's anything like that ending, I'm gonna love it :)

    OK, I haven't read the leaks but after those trailers I really cannot wait for this game. It has been far too long. PLayed through TLOU again a few weeks ago and still great.

    If it turns out to be sh1te so be it, but I want to make that decision myself.

    Where to purchase from? Amazon be best bet with the current restrictions on physical stores?

    I have to say the trailer impressed me even after knowing the outcomes of the story.

    I might just buy it on launch.

    Still interested to see how the game lands with fans after all the drama of the past week.

    I preordered from Gamestop because I got Final Fantasy 7 early.

    Hoping the same will happen again.

    The drama will have little-to-no impact at all. The vast majority who were going to buy it will still buy it, I'd say a good percentage of those might no even know about "the drama", and some people might buy it begrudgingly because they want to play the game anyway regardless of story.

    Some might not buy it, and that's their choice, but I'm betting they're a very vocal minority.

    Is Smyths the cheapest place to get this?

    Seems to be. Unless the likes of Supervalu have it on release day, they might be cheaper.

    Can someone explain in a very non spoilers way what's wrong with the story in this, I've avoided all leaks but it has me worried. Loved the first, don't care at all that Ellie is gay, how can they possibly turn last of us world into preachy sjw ****.

    There is no way to explain in a non-spoiler way.

    It's just crap (my opinion) and the reason I feel that way has absolutely zero to race/religion/sexuality.

    That stuff in games doesn't bother me in the slightest.

    I've avoided just about all the leaks and spoilers - I did see one line which seems to give away a key moment, but if true it's not all that shocking to me and I didn't see any great detail about it.

    Apart from that I've missed all the videos and spoilers, and this outrage is all a bit mad to me when I have no context to it. I've seen alot of talk about agendas and politics etc, and I could care less about all that tbh. Even if I don't like how the story pans out, I'm still going to buy on day 1 and see how it unfolds myself. ND have bought enough good will with me with the quality of their games to warrant me buying it and playing through it regardless of any "controversy".

    From the trailers and what little (official) gameplay I've seen, the game looks incredible and I can't wait to play it.

    Imagine a basketball game where the characters are all short white people. And the game director smirks and says "thanks to me you ****head gamers are not racist any more"

    My Amazon pre-order got cancelled for some reason saying it couldn't delivered to Ireland and now it's coming up as currently unavailable. Anyone have any reason why it couldn't be sent to Ireland? Seems to be a bit weird...

    Have it pre-ordered with Smyths so it's no hassle and tbh, I'm trying to use Amazon a bit less anyways. Bezos has enough money as it is.

    FWIW,
    I thought one of the main plot spoilers revealed the other day was obviously going to happen from the first trailer that was released a couple of years ago

    I think my biggest fear is not that I will see spoilers but that I will see the spoilers and go, "oh, that's it? Is that what the outrage was about?"
    I'm starting to think the outrage is overblown both from those who have legitimate issues with the narrative and the broflakes and may just be meh. :(

    In two short sentences you've got:
    - A false narrative (that NBA game with mostly black guys is racist and needs fixing)
    - A director who has disdain for his audience
    - Some daft writing to address said false narrative
    - Which results in a game that (I quote) "literally makes no sense"
    - Said director wants a pat on the back for making the world a better place

    and no direct spoilers. Do better, by all means.

    From what I can gather there’s at least one scene where Ellie encounters a group of albino dwarves playing basketball.

    That's the game I've been asking for, for all these years.
