:wow:When it finally clicks for a previously hater.
From this

To this


Did this dude play 2 before 1 and was complaining :dahell:




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

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…

:wow:

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.

I’m jealous Breh I know this feeling. This game is the pinnacle of a game making you feel real emotions. It’s

GOAT game

:russ: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.

He never really gave it a chance. He never got over the golf club scene. He was upset that Ellie doesn't kill Abby.

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

He probably had a ton of enemies out there from his life as a raider and it's a small world.

Maybe in last of us 4 they'll do a Joel prequel to show how much of a piece of shyt he was.

:dahell: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.

:mjlol:

I was one the few people on here arguing about how Joe is actually a bad guy after part 1.

And no the writers put Joel on a pedestal, The last time you saw him he was essentially captain American without the super serum.

Master tactician
Weapons and hand to hand specialist

They could have done the samething they did with Joel. All it would have took was a couple scenes showing how he's lost a step or two and a bit of his edge.

But they wasn't worried about that
