The game tries to make you feel empathy for Abby. The problem is that OG players are so invested in Joel and Ellie, it fails in doing so for a lot of people and most people just are not able to forgive Abby for what she did just because we played as her for a few hours. We had a massive journey through a whole game with Joel and Ellie with 7 years to let it sink in, compared to just a few hours with Abby and like 10 minutes with her dad. I see what they were trying to do but it just wasn't plausible to make everyone feel connected to Abby in such a short amount of time, especially when most of the game was you trying to get revenge on her with Ellie

I could understand Abby's point of view and they got close to making me feel sorry for her, but still, in a lot of people's eyes including mine, it was still fukk Abby and I wish I could have killed her. That's why the ending felt terrible to me at first and why it's getting hate from some people.

Even though it's not the outcome I personally wanted at the time, that doesn't necessarily make the ending bad. You have to put biases aside and look at the story as a whole from both sides. Now I've fully calmed down and reflected on the experience, it was an amazing game.

A lot of people saying this doesn't have replayability and I agreed at first, but I think a second playthrough will let them take in the story from both sides instead of being full of vengeance and bloodlust. I'm definitely going to play through parts 1 and 2 again eventually and I hope they release an Abby DLC.

The Fukin Prophecy said:
The fact she's bulky and masculine is only relevant because the feminists advising ND felt Ellie wasn't a strong enough female to lead this game on her own...

Why wasn't Ellie enough? Why did they need to add an overly masculine second white woman playable character to this game?

What did Abby add to this franchise? She kills Joel and essentially becomes him with Lev taking on the kid Ellie role...Why did we need to play through that again with a cheesy revenge story sprinkled on top?

That's the problem with this character, they spent more time working on the appearance of this character (bull dyke demeanor and overly masculine that makes you think she could be trans) for political agenda points than focusing on working her into the story in a unique sensible way...She kills Joel, they put you on this quest to avenge him and at the very end toss plot armor on her to save her...Sure folk would still hate, incels gon incel but regardless how she looks, the majority wouldn't be so negative of the character if she added something to this franchise other than political bullshyt...

What political agenda is that? Elaborate.
