@@alisoyupak2730 Joel is literally the ultimate paranoid survivor, it's fundamental to his character and what has allowed him to live for decades in a hostile apocalypse. Being forced to shelter with potential enemies doesn't mean you immediately lower your guard and become chummy - that's a common sense lesson Joel would have learned ages ago. And that goes double for when you're right outside of the town you're protecting, which Tommy specifically mentions is vulnerable to attack from groups like hunters. The fact is these people meant Joel great harm, and the real Joel would have sensed that a mile away. But alas, he needed to die, and the writers took the lamest and laziest way to achieve that - they dumbed him down.

@@darn0k1 Bruce Straley was the main writer for the first game, iirc. He was the one who shot down Neil's stupidest ideas, chief among them being that he wanted to make the second game's plot be the first game's. Apparently Tess, instead of Joel's most trusted partner/closest friend/probable lover, would have been a recurring antagonist tracking Joel and Ellie across the country because she wanted revenge after Joel killed her brother in a firefight. Bruce took one look at that plot and went "Tracking a person on foot for thousands of miles in a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic wasteland? That's absurd and totally immersion-breaking, that's going on the cutting room floor." He's well-regarded for fun, character-building dialogue, which the first game has in spades with Joel and Ellie. He co-directed all of the Uncharted games with Amy Hennig, but left after the release of Uncharted 4, which makes sense since that game was essentially Neil Druckmann strong-arming Hennig out of the company, throwing out her original plot and script, and shooting the franchise that was Straley and Hennig's baby in the head. The abominable crunch with UC4 because of Druck throwing out the original script also probably pushed him to leave. The Last of Us' good writing almost certainly rests on Straley's shoulders infinitely more than Druckmann's.

@@letsBrn fr, I’m still waiting on his next vid but it seems he’s going for hour long videos now so who knows what he will come up with next. I’m going to miss the idea of what last of us part 2’s story was suppose to be, if you ask me, this was suppose to be a coming of age story for Ellie while being a departure from Joel (whether it’s her leaving Joel to possibly find her mother or search for answers, with Joel dying in the 2nd or 3rd game). Because Ellie and Joel are what makes last of us, and what’s ironic is that Neil druckman had said that in the grounded documentary. It was really exciting for me to see where it would go with Ellie, and this mystery character that looks like it could possibly be Ellie’s mom or someone related. The fact she was 19 and I was 19 when the game released, with the game taking place in Washington where I had lived. With Ellie being someone like me who always wears converse and bullshits lol. I had even pre-ordered the game with the collectors edition before the leaks had come out about the story. I had ignored it though cause in my mind I was thinking there’s no way the story is gonna be bad. Then the first hour of the game happened and I was furious ngl when I saw her bring up the golf club so early into a 25 hour game. And Abby is not even related to Ellie as her mom or sister. Joel’s swept under the rug unless you count that one flashback with them which I thought was amazing, tommy is just all over the place and Dina and Ellie’s relationship doesn’t feel as purposeful or bittersweet in any way . And the story just went nowhere and I wish it never happened if I knew it was gonna be this bad. It hurts to say honestly cause that’s how much I wanted the 2nd game to be good, it may be weird to some but stories are everything to humanity.

I didn't get too far, I made it to the Seattle portion, and gave up. The game on Grounded difficulty, which is what I always play through the first game on was so difficult, I wasn't having any fun. Where in the first game, you could use various tactics, and strategies to get through situations as long as you managed your inventory well enough. Well in this game, the only tactic I found semi-useful was running in circles around whatever area I was in until Dina killed all the infected because she has unlimited ammo, and encounters with Clickers are basically unavoidable now. I eventually put this game down, and just watched through the rest of the story on KZbin. Disappointing, we waited seven years for a sequel that we didn't need, and got a game we didn't want.

I just finished the game today. Feelings lots of feels about Joel and Ellie. Now I’m allowing myself to look at all the things that could have spoiled me through the years like this video lol. If you want my honest thoughts on this subject, I think it doesn’t matter. Ellie wanted Abby dead so that it could bring her peace, but at the end I think she accepted that she won’t get it. Killing Abby won’t bring Joel back. It won’t make her happy. But at least if she lets Abby live a little kid may have a life.

[@gigachad3925]

No it wasn’t “ok” for Abby. She got her revenge, but in the end it proved not to do anything for her. She was still having nightmares about her dead father. Her mission to kill Joel also fragmented her friendships and pushed them away, plus Ellie killed most of them as a direct result of Abby getting revenge. The point is that Abby went through with it and got punished for it, and while Ellie got punished as well, at least she was better than Abby in her ability to spare her.

I really like your suggestion of having players play as Abby and her father first not knowing who they are, it would've made us develop a liking to them, only to eventually find out Abby's dad (who the players would've been attached to as a "Joel" figure at that point), is the doctor Joel killed in the first game. That would've been SO much better! God, I wish we could go back in time and rewrite the past.

[@bug688]

I think that would go against the whole point of the game. Plus it would be so predictable to know who they are

[@bug688]

@@FireStarJutsu I disagree because this isn't the same kind of thing that part 2 was aiming for. We had to know next to nothing about Abby so we could have that enormous wall of hate to overcome. Giving her a backstory before she killed Joel horrifically would offset the impact of the ending when you realise you don't want both women to continue suffering. It's only because we don't understand anything about Abby at the start that we can begin to understand her through learning her backstory and seeing her developing relation with a child from an enemy faction. I'm not saying that idea which you proposed wouldn't work - hiding the relationship between Abby and her father with the story of Ellie and Joel's but it would've resulted in a way different theme and experience than what was intended.

[@thedarkone7887]

​@@bug688 and arguably a better theme in my opinion. You talk about the ending and players "not wanting both women to suffer anymore" and there's no way you can guarantee all players come to that opinion. Having Abby be a random that kills Joel does form that wall of hatred pretty well, but it runs the risk of that wall never melting away regardless of how much of her backstory or new relationship with Lev we experience. I feel like that's the angle you're not acknowledging. Look at Tommy. If a character in game can maintain that hatred, knowing what Joel did. Knowing Abby lost everyone else. Knowing she has Lev to take care of, and none of it mattering because of what she did to Joel...players will have that opinion too. Doing it in the inverse creates a genuine new bond for the players to form. One very similar to the one that worked in the first game. Players would connect with Abby and her dad's relationship naturally without the baggage of hating Abby for Joel's death. Making Joel's death more of a conflicting emotional event than just a "wall of hatred" producing event. I really don't think the themes would be that much different. The only difference between them is that with one, we don't feel that pure desire for revenge Ellie felt. We instead feel conflicted because we understand there's no right or wrong. Abby felt immense pain too. Joel was no saint. Actions have consequences. And revenge is a poison. Literally all themes the game tries to hamfist down the player's throat later down anyway, are more effectively executed this way. Sacrificing one minor intention for the overall success of many other of the game's themes results in a better story in my opinion

[@yumartins7872]

​@@thedarkone7887Have to disagree. I played Ellies part full rage after Abby. I wanted that shit as much as her. Then i got to know Abby. When i the player didnt want revenge anymore, just wanted to be in peace with Dina in Farm, the game continued. And i tried to NOT kill Abby. To see If there were an alternate path. But i had to smash that drowning button. The prompt dissapeared exactly when i stopped pressing the Button in a last try of "alternate ending". I was fucking relieved when Ellie let Abby go. I feeled the revenge and i feeled the last fucking moment of regret. Just as Ellie. I thing ND did EXACTLY what they intended to do.

[@thedarkone7887]

@yumartins7872 and that's alright. I'm genuinely glad you were able to have that experience. But I doubt that's the majority of the player base, yunno? I mean, I myself, in the end did the exact same thing as you. To be fair. I hesitated and died many times on that beach fishing for an alternative ending. But it wasn't because of any compassion for Abby or even Lev. It was simply because I felt Ellie didn't need that hanging over her. The guilt of Joel's death wouldn't have been as severe as the guilt of her revenge I think. I also think she should have stayed on the farm with Dina and the baby. I'm not saying it was completely ineffective the way they did it... just that, in my opinion, reversing the events would have helped it reach more players.

Came here after HBO announced they weren't changing the story for season 2. Everyone in the comment section of that post said the story for TLOU2 is the best story ever written. I came here to find my people because TLOU2 was a huge fuck you to anyone who actually likes the first game.

[@crazyinsane500]

There's going to be a hard wakeup call when season 2 introduces basically Galadrial, right down to the character shilling and refusal to treat this character as having any flaws, and has Abby take over the entire show and be treated with no nuance compared to Joel and Ellie (who's characters were already made worse preemptively to promote Abby) That didn't work for the Rings of Power, it didn't work for The Woman King, and it's not going to work for TLOU2. While your average person, especially an HBO subscriber, isn't particularly savvy, it's pretty universal that people despise flawless characters in serious stories.

[@JJJJJ269]

@@crazyinsane500 For me, literally all they have to do is change the way the story is told and cast someone likeable as Abby. But they won’t. It’ll be the exact same as the game and they’re gonna lose a lot of people from the show. Especially when Pedro stops appearing in the eps.

I decided to rewatch this review after playing TLOU Part 1 on PC. The port is terrible, but the game itself is a masterpiece. Ellie from Part 1 is a different person. This game should've ended on Part 1. If they wanted to show revenge story, they could make another game, but no Druckman is like a kid who has fun by ruining fun for other people: "Mwahahaha! I'm the devil, you will feel my power! I will ruin everything you love and make you love something you don't care about.". He guess he failed.

I just watched the last 20 minutes of the game, and liked it. Basically from right before the boss fight till the end. I thought it was well done. Probably an unpopular opinion on this channel. Now, that's not necessarily how I'd feel about the execution of the game as a whole. Just the story, as a concept. Joel kills Abby's dad, betrays Ellie. Ellie doesn't forgive him, Abby kills Joel, denying Ellie ability to forgive him. Ellie tracks Abby across the land, has opportunity to kill Abby to take revenge, and forgives her. She couldn't forgive Joel, but she can forgive Abby. Just that concept, ignoring the execution, is pretty beautiful IMO. Note, I never played either of these games, I don't even own a PS4. But I think I can still comment on the story as a concept.

[@elanadeshina7521]

Albert Johnston you don’t understand. you didn’t spend the whole first game establishing an emotional connection with joel. you didn’t wait 7 years for the sequel. ND destroyed joel’s character for shock value. they made him leave his guard down which he would never do, and brutally murdered him with a golf club at the hands of someone we not only don’t know, but also don’t like. then we had to play as them. then we finally got a chance for a little bit of satisfaction and were denied that too. it’s terrible all around

[@albertjohnston1026]

@@elanadeshina7521 Like I said, I like the concept. I have little to nothing to say about the execution because I've played neither game. Though I do think the ending was executed well, if you isolate the shit out of it. As in, if a person like myself who has little context aside from knowing the overall story watches it, yeah, it's good. But I totally understand how that could be frustrating as shit to an invested person. I saw another comment that compared it to if John Wick left the guy alive that killed his dog, or even worse if it tries to make you like the guy and dislike John Wick. Fuck. That.

[@cocharles563]

@@albertjohnston1026 Ok, but your analogy has a flaw, as Ellie garishly kills hundreds of innocent people to get to abby. It's more like: you are forced for 20+ hours to gorge on hundreds of mud-pies all childishly made and poorly constructed as enemies thus slowly working your way from dining table after kitchen table until lastly reaching (the last of us dessert boss)... (a piece of cake no less and its at the kids table.) One slice that you truly deserve to savor the flavor of as Abby finally surrender their brawny grasp on it and hand it over to you, it is your just deserts. But you suddenly decline the offer and like a tick now fully engorged, you say: "no thanks, I'm full." And then you foolishly desert your mission and slink off into the desert to die of dehydration or heat exposure.

[@djadja6357]

@@albertjohnston1026 i find it ridiculous, and extremely unrealistic. No one is going to forgive abby and not kill her. to Not allow the player to make the choice to kill abby is fuckin outrageous. We should have been given the opportunity to avenge joel. Thats all I was thinking the entire time was "wow I cant wait to kill this butch bitch who killed my favorite character..." and then NOPE stolen from us. Our righteous revenge is not allowed. but its WONDERFUL for abby to get her revenge right? but not us?... screw that. It would be one thing if it was done well, but the story is not done well at all

We kill hundreds of people because if you don't they kill us. But in the end Abby didn't want to kill Ellie, she even spared Dina. If you think really hard, Joel wouldn't want Ellie to kill Abby.

[@Roflcrabs]

@@Vishal6447 I liked TLOU1 but didn't love it. It was like a 7/10 for me at the time so going into TLOU2 I didn't have high expectations. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it was really good. Objectively the graphics and art direction were top notch, the gameplay and controls was solid. So when people say it was a terrible game and rate it 0/10 they make no attempt to hide their biases and clearly had some kind of expectation going in as you said. Likely wanting another game with Joel and Ellie shooting bad guys and riding off into the sunset again. This'll sound kind of harsh but there's no other word for it, it's kind of pathetic how close-minded most people here are. You just know if the game was the same, same environments, weapons, puzzles but the story and cut-scenes were changed and you played as Joel and Ellie, maybe Joel escapes and Tommy gets killed in the crossfire at the start and it's all about getting revenge for him and Abby dies at the end they'd give it a 10/10. Another complaint, they keep calling it woke, I lean right and I'm sick of the surplus of forced diversity ruining entertainment but I don't really see it. Ellie was gay in the last one, technically there's two gay teens and gay Bob in TLOU1 whereas TLOU2 has 1 gay person, 1 bi and a gender ambiguous kid. Pair that with two female leads being presented as monsters, yeah it's not really elevating men but it's making women look worse, lesbian women even! It's arguably less woke than the first game. Pardon the rant but these dudes man. They clearly watched a video of someone covering the leaks saying it's bad and formed their opinion on that with no context or build up. Then they watched a lets play of someone dunking on it, completely different approach and experience to simply just playing TLOU1 for themselves 10 years ago when their attention spans weren't as short.
