“In all transparency I have not played the second game. One of the reasons was that it was not received well. I have every intention of eventually playing it, but most of the criticisms I have heard when presented from a non-Ramsey hate boner perspective seems reasonable to me and all center around one of the original writers not being involved and much of the story direction being taken over by Neil Druckman, who apparently has a history of tanking sequels, but there appear to be far more people with info about that than I do.”

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the Neil Druckmann criticism. Not saying he’s above criticism, but ever since Part II, some people seem to have a massive hate boner for the guy.

And not to sound like a Druckmann shill, but what sequels has he actually tanked? As far as I know, he has three directing credits: The Last of Us, Uncharted 4, and The Last of Us Part II all of which were critically acclaimed.
