I've skipped a couple pages but I got a question:

Who is Abby? what was their motivation for killing Joel in the first part of the game? I didn't really play TLOU 1 but I still don't like a character being killed that anti-climatically.

It would've been more interesting to have Abby turn on them later in the game or something after Joel saved them.

Pretty sure Joel kills her dad in the first game, he's one of the Fireflies doctors I think. Player has no choice, you have to kill them to proceed

the doctor who draws the knife on joel in the surgery room is her dad
he is the only doctor you have to kill to get to ellie

for abby to work out who this exact killer is by just the name "joel" is insane

why did she even have a golf club who plays golf in an apocalypse

but no seriously why did they think it was a good idea for us to play as the person who killed Joel?how are we meant to relate to the character or like her or even give a fuck about her?

it’s like someone woke up after a dream, wrote down what they say and rolled with it

if only if the game could have been about ellie travelling with joel, picking up people to form a safer place along the way, and with that ellie eventually finding out joel sent humanity down the crapper because she reminded him of his daughter, and she has to come to terms with that, be-it getting her own revenge for what she believed to be joels selfishness, or trying to find peace in it


but instead now my group of people are going to get more hate for something that wasn't even true xdddd

NGL using Joel for advertising and making out like he's gonna be a big part of the game only to golf club him to death is dishonest as fuck, I heard/saw about some edited in game shots which are of an older joel/older ellie but in the actual game it's a flashback of TLOU1 Joel and Ellie

the scene where a hand is put over ellie's mouth and she turns around to see joel is outright altered to be a different character entirely

that's proper fucking scummy

look how they massacred my boy, he was honestly such a good character and i remember when the game first came out when i was 12 me and my friends would talk about him so much and how cool he was

it's dishonest as hell and scummy like 100% they only started the plot to kill joel like 1-3 years ago, and not when they ended the first game


still gonna play it though

Haven't played it, haven't looked into it, but this game in a nutshell reminds me of a 2 week old rebel killing a 2 year rebel and then never flagging back on again.

yeah but that's actually p. based and rebel-pilled ngl

I'm not in this camp thankfully.

Not my thing, clearly not made for me.

it's w/e, i'm a sucker for story-line games, my roommate is interested, so may as well
i also don't want to get too angry at the game without playing it

This really seems like one of those forms of media that you anticipated, but cannot pull yourself to finish in fear of massive disappointment.

TLOU was the first game I ever recommended as a 10/10. Ever. Now, into the dust-bin of other television series like the last season of Mad Men, Sopranos, and Lost.I cannot handle the pain of something that was once so good, become my own mental pegging.

Don't get me wrong, I love story games - Hell a lot of my favourite games of all time are story based games (Ace attorney, Ghost Trick, Silent HIll 2) but the Last Of Us just isn't my thing.

I respected the first game a lot, even if I'm not that invested or interested in it.
