    Honestly lou2 is all about perspective but the main problem is narrative bias, lou1 established joel and ellie and lou2 took that away so there’s bias towards joel since he was established before abby so now she’s got a steep hill just to never reach to joel’s level

  • @wolfgoat1961

    While it can feel like a great coincidence and forced about how fast Abby found Joel. To plop her in the story, the reason they make you play as her is on a psychological level to show you the humanity of different people and their own stories and lives. Abby isn't this ruthless killer who would have killed Tommy and ellie, she came for what she needed or thought she needed took care of business and left. It was dumb but to her wasn't necessary and she probably figured she couldn't be tracked or if she was she'd be okay. The writers were trying to get us to understand that in a world like that there is no true right or wrong. We act on our beliefs and opinions. Driven by mostly ego and pride. In the end when ellie doesn't kill Abby it's to show the growth and the cycle of hatred and revenge being broken. The story for part 2 pails in comparison to part 1 but was still a great game and awesome sequel thought I do agree with the possibility of it being able to had been better written at some points.

    I really dont get how the fireflies finding Joel after 4 years is "unrealistic". After all, Joel found Tommy after an even longer period of time. Another thing worth noting is that the fireflies weren't even expecting to find Joel, they were looking for Tommy, which is why they're all surprised when Joel introduces himself.

    Your point about the difficulty level of stealth and combat is so whack. You can’t just hand wave away changing the difficulty by saying it “breaks immersion” because that is one, a very weak reason as it would take two seconds to change it and two, isn’t even relevant. The only way it would break immersion (and it barely would) is if you paused mid game and changed it, so why wouldn’t you just change at the end of that play session or the beginning of the next? You can’t critique a game on something if you haven’t given it a fair shake. If you bashed the combat plainly on the basis that it was too easy then try a harder difficulty this is actually just such a brainless take. It’s either that or just lazy.

    The story they had would've worked better if built differently. Have the beginning be Abby's story and the Joel and Ellie flashbacks, then in the middle of the game kill of Joel and have that be when Ellie sets off for revenge. They also need to villainize Abby more, they treat her like some great person and want you to like her, after she brutally beat and murdered Joel and went off to kill tons of others and feel no remorse for it. At least we saw Ellie's decline when she killed people, especially the pregnant woman, Abby discovered Dina was pregnant and said good right before getting ready to kill her, why are they wanting us to like Abby and hate Ellie when the make Abby act like a villain and Ellie like a broken down person???? Its so stupid.

    abby isn't horribly written, her character is one that the player has to dechipher themselves. just how with joel. she's complicated like many of us are. TLOU has a pattern of not enjoying on the nose references to their characters traumas, thoughts etc and abby is no different. many things you claim make no sense in her story are just due the fact you haven't taken much time to look into the bigger picture. there are many good analysis's on abby like the ones by TLOU explained which clear things up ways more that i recommend many abby haters check out. she was needed in the game, without her it would lose the entire purpose it tries to serve of how there are no JUST good or JUST bad people. that there's always a second story, another perspective. if you can't understand this then you're just a terrible writer.

    They should have had Abby become apart of Jackson community as a spy where you get to control her to get to Joel who is doing work around the town. When she takes her chance Ellie shows up and is watches Joel get shot. Then she takes off to Seattle to join the WLF where salt lake crew is waiting. The rest of pt2 plays out

    Ngl the way I experienced it is “Abby was pushed very hard as a good character, her gameplay and supporting characters were so much better” I had the same dilemma towards the ending, but I didn’t care id still choose to bash Abby’s skull in! Why because first game left a bigger impact! Joel could have been made crippled, anything but being killed off! Abby was given everything to help her case, which btw were all pandering cases, “she killed Joel, a grey protagonist from first game ? Here a trans boy to make you like her more” Joel all the way! We are all Joel! Both are justified but a better writing could have made Abby’s perspective so much better 😂

But I forgolive the last of us 2 for the lev thing for one reason. I don't believe she's actually trans. She just shaved her head and changed her name to a boy because she wanted to be a soldier. Not married off at fkin 13. Which is fair and completely understandable and in some ways rational. Only men can be soldiers so she wanted to he a man. Not some child bride to some weird kid diddler.

    Start the game as Sarah, and have her die. Then her memory carrying in Joel begins his demise. After playing as Ellie and surviving, he starts getting his soul back. Interesting way to mark these events while also giving the player more empathy for Joel's frame of mind.

    I feel like if I was in Joel’s position I’d have saved Ellie, but if I was in Ellie’s position I’d have sacrificed myself. I feel like realistically Marlene and Joel should have just sat down and asked Ellie for her opinion on whether she wants to die or not. Of course the second game wouldn’t happen then, but I think it’s smarter than just putting Ellie under and operating her without her consent.

    Well the game was really a message it supports femininism also the leader of the devs is a feminist girl bringing chaos and drama, all the female characters are feminist and all the male characters are being killed off, Ellie acts like she doesn't want Joel in her life and their relationship isn't the same, made Joel out of character and killed him off like he was nothing, development of the game is horrible when your playing Ellie all your just doing pretty much nothing for hours but you barely kill any of Abby's friends, most of the time you just get to where they were and they would already be dead, playing Abby for over 10 hours is a whole different story, waste of time, and doesn't make any sense in TLOU2 story, and the game play was way too long like over 30 hours I was losing track of everything It's like playing 2 story modes in the same place lmao. The most trash and dumbest I have ever played, maybe Part III will be better, but Idk and I won't be surprised if a character like Ellie or someone else gets killed off😂

    I’m fine with people criticizing this game but the thing that pisses me off the most is when people saying Ellie dropping the map is a plot hole and is really convenient. What are you talking about Ellie was having a panic attack and was shook and questioning her morals, and then Tommy drags her out of there, while ellie is in shock it makes since I don’t get it but you can have your opinion, but I think you’re way too hard on this game and having some convenient things and stories is necessary, and a bunch of good stories have them I do agree with some of your criticisms, but some I think are just silly still a good vid just didn’t agree with all of your criticisms
