Let's give credit where it's due. The performances & Voice acting in this game are really top notch, the actors did one hell of a job and for that they deserve an applause. The Graphics, environmental settings are amazing, but that's pretty much standard nowadays it shouldn't be a major factor anymore. Gameplay is really amazing, you can see it in the details, the game's been made with passion, and for that it deserves some credit.
The Story however, yep that's where you f'd up. I mean we get the message, revenge is a fool's game. I don't have a problem with joel dying, it's HOW he dies is what pisses us off ! If joel died defending Ellie in a gunfight or saving her from the infected or something like that we would't have hated the story that much, he would have died honourably, in a good Way. Not like THAT!! that's just disrespectiful, only to give an incentive for going on a revenge path that doesn't even pay off in any way !!
My other Problem with the story is what happens to Ellie. I mean she doesn't get one single moment, not one! No redemption, nothing! She loses everything while Abby gets away pretty much unscathed in comparison .. Why ??!
It's not a story like TLOU1, it's a message ... and that's the Problem.
