Damn Abby, how you gonna wreck the man's family like that? 
I don't get why people are so upset, the second half of the game has easily been more intense than the first part. That WHOLE segment with Abby running through the forest at night with Lev and Yara and fending for themselves is GOAT tier. I might even be liking this more than the first half, to keep it really real.
Legit, if people go into this game with an open mind and don't put Joel on a pedestal, I think you can really appreciate what ND is doing here. It's clear that they're going for a "violence begets violence" cycle, but even if it's "predictable"... I think that's the best call. It's real. The ONLY reason why we give a shyt about Joel and Ellie is because we've experienced a whole game with her. I know people feel like ND should do more with her character (and maybe from where I am, they'll do even more with that), but to be fair... This is in the end, Ellie's story and Ellie has the advantage of having a whole game plus DLC focusing on building her character, whereas Abby only has three days in-game to flesh her out. There's only so much they can do, and I think if they were to go overboard, the pacing would absolutely suffer for it.
I like Abby though. Former Firefly turned WLF Soldier who went on a journey to avenge her dad, and now she's trying to do right by the people she cares about, while trying to make sure she and they don't get murdered by the Scars. She's hardened due to what she's experienced, but she's not "evil". She clearly still has a lot of love for Owen, cares deeply about Manny and Mel, and clearly wants Lev and Yara to end up being okay. Ellie's also like that, her outward demeanour is one of a standoffish nature, but she absolutely cares about the people in Jackson, as well as her friends and family.
I absolutely look forward to seeing how it all plays out, especially where the story is going to go once we catch back up to when Abby discovers Ellie's hideout.

Aint nothing like entering a new area on this game. Seeing that point on the map way in the background you need to reach.

regarding what you said about Joel, this is how I’m feeling so far...if you look at this with fixated tunnel vision on Joel’s murder you’re going to struggle to get past certain aspects, if you take a step back and look at the entire story and ALL of its pieces you’ll appreciate it a lot more

Joel must be the dad a lot of people wish they had. That can be the only reason why people are so emotional over his death. People are like legit angry 
. I saw video of streamers crying at his death. I get he’s a beloved character but my goodness. I feel like a lot of hate for the game is specifically due to that scene. When I first saw his death, all I was thinking was, “damn what did Joel do to piss them off that bad?” 
. Then you find out. Then I was like “damn 
I guess you had to do what you had to do Abby”.

The haters are absolutely boiling now!
i enjoyed the ride from both Abby and Ellie sides
but i think i was in a unique position to experience this game i just lost a sister to a year long battle of stage 4 cancer last year
so all the emotions all the fukking ptsd ellie was dealing with an the shyt abby went through ( having lost a mother suddenly) i could feel that shyt in my soul
the rage an wanting to get even ( in my case my sisters doc it just did't feel like she did enough to help my sister didn't even get to explore all the options for treatment by the time it came up it was to late but i digress)
im happy with the way it ended i wanted ellie to just let that shyt go because rage will consume you until their is nothing left
an your hollow on the inside
10/10

The sound of gunshots in the distance is giving me PTSD
Why everything cost so much to upgrade, was it like that on the 1st one?
Yeah. You get enough parts to upgrade weapons/skills but you may not be able to upgrade every single thing in one playthrough.

If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself
I've seen a few vids and I'm surprised at how few people realize tapping 'X' and moving the left analog stick in the opposite direction you're facing results in a quick spin around. Saves a lot of time in combat and is worlds more fluid.
Also, you can crack safes in this without codes. The distinct click gives the combinations away. Did the Courhouse Safe entirely by ear. Saw the code in jet black marker on the whiteboard as I was leaving
