At the last third of the game now. What I will say about the game is that the pacing is bad. The 2nd half of the game probably should have been the 1st half of the game. It probably would have been received better.

I don't think so, the main motivation for
Ellie's part, the anger and wanting to slaughter everyone on her path wouldn't be there. At least not with the emotion you get with the game in it's current form.
The complaints would've been about "why did we have to spent 15 hours with a character we'd end up hating for killing Joel" or "did we really need 15 fukking hours to show that killing Joel was justified?".
And Ellie's thirst for revenge would've been received poorly too. I guess you could've shown the ending flashback before Abby gives the killing blow with the golf club so you can get angry about Ellie and Joel not being able to follow through on their last combo. But again, spending half the game making Joel's death justifiable and Ellie's killing spree ruining Abby's life before you even know why she would do that doesn't sound better than what we got

The last boss in the hospital was hard as fukk. I must have died on that shyt 10 times. Then his little scary ass minion after that took forever to kill. I’d dump a whole clip in him and he just runs away. Ran out of ammo then just chased his lil ass down and put the paws on him.

I think you can reach a happy medium
Well the problem is that we don't give a shyt about Abby's character by the time we get to play with her. We just wanna skip to the climax because the game is in media res and this character has already killed a fan favorite.
I'd suggest that the game starts with Abby's hospital flashback, then the game starts how it did, and then after Joel's death they do Abby Day 1-3, theater scene, then skip to Ellie Day 1-3, then finale. This way it sets up the Ellie revenge angle AND it sets up the Abby revenge angle in chronological order and prevents players from feeling like they are being forced to play with a character they don't care about just to get to the end.
Either that or you choose Ellie or Abby's side and then do the other side 2nd like Sonic Adventure or Resident Evil. As the game is currently built, it's annoying because you're not experiencing the game in order and you have to wait for so long to get to the end that you aren't as invested.

is how i built up Ellie’s arsenal and skill tree only to start all over again basically.. lemme choose the other bytch in the start menu after I beat it w/ Ellie or something, pretty much ready to get Abbys section over w/ . Her section got me skressed
The high end voice actors in video games I learned is a small community..
Dude has done a lot of work.. Joker, Batman, etc...
Didn't realize Ellie's voice actor actually played Mel Gibson's daughter in the What Women Want movie..
Soon as I heard Laura Bailey was Abby, I immediately thought Kid Trunks from DBZ? Yep, same girl..

Its not that deep breh....
You weren't supposed to feel closure from this imo. Both Abby and Ellie's desire for revenge completely ruined both their lives.
Abby's lover and friends outside of Lev are all dead and lost a stable environment in the WLF.
Ellie lost her girl and JJ. Jesse's dead and Tommy is crippled and had a falling out with his Wife. With PTSD to top the shyt off.
It was all for nothing. That the point of the story IMO. Neither side has shyt to show for it.

First part of the suburban stronghold cleared with no deaths, senses or aim assist
On survivor
Tried to push the action within reason
One of my favorite, most memorable encounters in the game. This part is where i REALLY discovered the AI is legit in this game.

I was straight losing the ai and they would catch me in a corner I didn't think theyd be smart enough to wait for me in
Yea took alot of work. They were not playing around
