    IMHO this 1st episode was perfectly balanced between fidelity and originality. It was similar enough so that game fans can look at it and recognize both the characters and the story itself, but also original enough in order to still make it interesting and keep the audience on their toes, even though we all know whats gonna happen. Absolutely fantastic!

    Pedro as Joel was ok for me tho. I think I need to see more of his character development before I can comment. But Bella absolutely nailed Ellie’s essence! Now we have to wait 2 weeks for episode 2. :(
    One thing I love to mention is that the music choice was brilliant! It was a good first episode! 👍🏻

If your just hell bent on the first part of the game in part 1 and maybe some moments in between and the end then thats just silly. Part 2 has a better story. Part 2 just doesnt have a crazy opening like part 1 for good reason. Sure thats cool but its not like the best thing to happen in a video game. Play The Darkness or telltales guardians of the galaxy. Even the suffering is a better game than tlou part 1. But youll never play those because i suggested them. Dead Rising itself is a better game. Part2 though is just like the best third person shooter ever made and it upsets me no one but me can see that. I never want to play part 1 ever agian. Its just boring. It was good when i first played it but that was it.

      @@SomeRandomGuy369 I lost you at "better story". Anyone can see that the first storyline is better, everything is better, the characters are better. From the minute I saw the leak about Joel dying I knew part 2 would be shit. The "cinematography" (in a sense) is nonexistent, like there's no camera work in cutscenes, it's not visceral, there's nothing to the Last of Us 2 beneath what we see at the surface. Every shot in Part 1 was calculated, the scene where Joel dies has one camera that does nothing but go around characters, there's nothing clever about it. Sure there's better gameplays than Part 1, nobody said otherwise. Part 2 feels like unfinished notes scratched from a book, there's NOTHING clever about it, it sure tries to be but fails.
      I will always say this : Part 2 should have been about others characters and other themes. Joel and Ellie's storyline ended because they were safe. They should have focused on other characters in other parts of the world and tell another beautiful story, with, idk, maybe a father and a son? an entire group?
      Would have been way better than what we had.
