Imagine judging a game based off of reading a walkthrough.
Like judging a movie based off it’s plot summary on Wikipedia.
This made no sense. Most of the game is cinematic, I was able to watch the cutscenes and the gameplay and follow along fine.

You can’t really get a feel for everything like that.
Like did you see the thing about Ellie’s condition and eslerp?
didn't really care for the santa barbra section tho lmao
idk it was fine but felt kinda hollow, which i guess fits with how ellie felt at that point, but it was definitely the only weak section of the game for me

wtf is eslerp
2nd half >> 1st half
Abby's inventory of weapons are GOAT
Those pipe bombs
disagree tbh. i still haven't fully been won over by abby, i like her more than i did when we first start playing as her but i still prefer ellie's inventory more. her bow is so fire
dont undestand why they didn't give us the choice of killing or sparing abby at the end if they dont have plans on making another sequel. that ending gave me the biggest blue balls of all time
Great game
Lame ending
Here's how it shoulda gone down: Abby Lev and Ellie go to the boats. Ellie pulls out the pistol, shoots Abby and Lev in the head, Ellie leaves home. Game Over

meh i wouldn't have liked that ending.

After what she did to Joel and her friends? Ik Ellie killed a lot of her friends but she started it. Ellie personality changed a lot through the end. Should've stayed cold blooded and ended her feud with Abby with force. Traveled all that way to lose some fingers and let her biggest enemy go

trust me i wanted ellie to get her revenge, but also feel like the ending without that happening is just so much more interesting. if she did get the kill, the game would be a much simpler revenge story.
which still coulda been great, but i just feel like with the script we have and it ending in santa barbra with abby on the post, her killing her there wouldn't have been as powerful. i like abby, but i totally would've been down with the game killing her.
plus i love the irony of if ellie never even went back after abby, she wouldve died on that post and gotten what she deserved.

That ending only works in an Ellie-only storyline. It would be dumb to kill Abby and Lev after the game invest so much in you playing and getting to know their story.

But Abby gets a crossbow bruhhhh
niggas really mad because they thought the literal Grim Reaper who killed the only person that could've made a vaccine who just happened to be somebody's father was just gonna skate by my g?
If you really thought that my nigga you are dumber than the niggas b****ing about this game because they never seen a swole shorty in real life.
Especially when Abby had the best sections in the whole game
How is this s*** going over peoples heads?!? They’re just not getting it

would've been so dookie
That ex fireflies s*** would've been so on the nose and boring. The Last of Us 2 is not about the greater good, finding the cure or even revenge on Joel.
At its core it's about personal relationships, being it the only thing that keeps the characters going in this post apocalyptic world. And how far are they willing to go to prove their love, to keep it safe, without hurting their loved ones or themselves in the process.
The biggest issue for the main protagonists is that new world humanizes violence. It's the currency of getting s*** done. But where does that violence end?
Abby and Ellie are at the center of that. They are the same girl, touched and intertwined by the same trauma. Which is losing a father. The entire game lets us a player see how destructive love can be and how Abby and Ellie cope differently.
Abby's revenge gets her caught up in the morals of civil war. Which humanizes her. She gets a shot of perspective of goodness and hope in the world, fed by Owen, Lev and Yara. She decides to let Ellie live and hope for a better life elsewhere with Lev.
Ellie despite being offered the same hopeful perspective of a better life ( Dina professing her love and promising a future together) still can't come to the realization that the violence needs to end somewhere. And at the end the game it cost her everything for absolutely nothing in return.
It's actually quite brilliant storytelling.
I would rather have a game about Joel's and Ellie's tension rather than it being flashbacks because the flashbacks are honestly the best part of this game.
How in the f*** were the flashbacks the best part?!?
