When it finally clicks for a previously hater.

That last fight was brutal! I thought Ellie was gonna kill Abbey and then maybe get snuck by Lev in the aftermath. Ellie should’ve just stayed her ass on the farm with Dina. You went all that way just to lose two fingers and still let her live anyway. That PTSD is real…
Naughty Dog knocked this shyt out of the park. 10/10.
Damn, now that I think about it, if Ellie did absolutely nothing at the end and stayed with Dina on the farm and lived her life, Abbey would’ve died anyway. Ellie saved her by going to kill her. Abbey would’ve been dead on that beach with everyone else. She owes Ellie a life debt now.
No he played 1 1stDid this dude play 2 before 1 and was complaining
Anyway,
It's wasn't that they killed this character, it's how they did it.
All they needed to do was show a few more things about the character letting their guard down, being more reckless or becoming more comfortable after living well...
Instead we got a character being killed because of his out of character behavior (based on everything we know of them from the last game anyway) in order to make you feel some kinda way about another character.
And this is just start of the fall off of the story and characters in comparison to part 1
nikka sposed to be still on edge despite living 4-5 years in a revamped modern societyI will never get the “Joel was acting out of character” argument.
Bro was in the middle of a snowstorm being attacked by a horde of infected. With limited resources, and the only safe place is with a girl he’d just saved. Abby already knew Joel’s name because of Tommy. Joel’s time was on the clock from there.nikka sposed to be still on edge despite living 4-5 years in a revamped modern society
He never really gave it a chance. He never got over the golf club scene. He was upset that Ellie doesn't kill Abby.What was his problem with the ending?

He probably had a ton of enemies out there from his life as a raider and it's a small world.They lack the emotional maturity and critical thinking required to appreciate this type of game.
They put Joel on a pedestal, which was intended because you play the first game from his POV so you’re supposed to feel like a superhero/superdad because its essentially a redemption story for him.
The second game takes place from multiple POV’s so Joel isn’t seen the same way the audience see him. He’s just another old man that survived 30 years of the apocalypse doing foul shyt like everyone else. He’s not immortal and he’s not batman. He doesn’t have a spidey-sense, he got caught lacking like Omar Little in the bodega.
It only takes one lapse of judgement to get your wig pushed back in this world and thats simply how it went down. There was nothing unrealistic about how that happened aside from the sheer coincidence of them being stuck in the same room with him and tommy
revamped modern society?! Them fools essentially lived in the zombie apocalypse version of attack on Titan. And it ain't like he didn't go out looking for survivors regularly.nikka sposed to be still on edge despite living 4-5 years in a revamped modern society
