Famous actress Laura Baileyperforming in The Last of Us Part II role Abby Anderson, understood perfectly well that a gloomy adventure game Naughty dog will cause a violent reaction among the fans, but the scandal that erupted far exceeded all her expectations. She shared such a revelation in an interview with the publication GameInformer…
While working on The Last of Us Part II, Laura Bailey prepared herself in advance for the negativity from part of the gaming community, but had little idea of the scale of the impending Internet drama…
“I knew that a negative reaction awaited us. I knew that I would receive words full of hate in my address. But the scale of all this I could not expect,” the actress admitted.
Soon after the release of The Last of Us Part II, Naughty Dog employees literally drowned in a barrage of criticism – angry users did not hesitate in expressions, and some of them even resorted to open threats. Bailey herself was even threatened with physical harm, who only gave her voice to Abby.
Nevertheless, looking back, the actress does not regret at all that she took part in the ambitious project Naughty Dog.… She believes that Abby’s character turned out to be one of the most interesting and difficult in her entire career, although initially the heroine also caused negative emotions in her.
“I didn’t like Abby, I didn’t like my acting. I remember telling my husband, ‘I don’t like the way I worked. This is terrible. I don’t understand how I was even chosen for this role. All these years were wasted. “And Travis answered me:” Just shut up and keep playing. You’re very biased now, “Bailey recalled.
Over time, the actress was able to look at the heroine from a different angle and accept her.
Today Bailey believes that if there were no leaks and the players initially did not know anything about the plot of The Last of Us Part II, the reaction might be slightly different, since the audience would have had time to get to know Abby personally. She can understand the emotions of users who catch spoilers too early.
“But the leak happened a couple of months before the game was released. People built walls and fenced off Abby for months before they had a chance to understand the events from her perspective. And many ended up unable to do so.”
