As another user said
>John Wick except he doesn't shoot the very last person
Cuckmann just took a leaf out of the whole "be a better person" thing without taking a single second to consider if it actually makes sense in his POS story

Druckmann is and everyone who gave this game top ratings.

She killed mosty men so thats ok.
Also Abby just killed a man too, no reason for fellow strong women to hate each other over a petty thing like that

Yeah, the whole "revenge is bad" plot fucking deflates if the character never actually gets revenge.

I mean this isn't new, it's been done before, the character gets revenge, realizes it didn't fix anything ESPECIALLY not their emotional state, character looks back and reflects on all the things they've lost and the people they hurt along the way. Roll credits.

Having her never actually get revenge is literally leaving the plot unfinished.

Hahahah Freemasons are enraging gamers with their funny tricks

Unironically this, this game gameplay and story are not compatible. There is no agency at all in the gameplay of this game, it is just a filler between cutscenes.

She breaks the cycle of revenge you brainlet. This game is 10/10 masterpiece and GOTY.

Guess the one who got revenge was the tranny, and he/she got paid with angry lesbian vendetta.

subverting expectations doesn't mean turning at 180° for no reasons

Meanwhile the tribal history of the world is "the one who genocides the other one first, wins"

This is emotionally moving writing to critics.

What about everyone who died in between A and B?

I feel like I'm wrong but wasn't Ellie born post-apocalypse? It's so fucking jarring how she constantly acts like she was just isekai'd into TLOU's world off some modern university campus.

Characters are only as smart as their writers
So yes, they're ALL retarded

She mass murdered a fuck ton of people for nothing. She didn't break a cycle.

Dark forest theory is a bitch.

This, according to TLOU logic every single goon she murdered could in turn have family/friends who would then be completely justified in going on a genocide spree in turn and it's fine as long as they don't actually kill the person they're after.

pretty sure its because she sees herself and Joel in Abby and Lev but the writing is so fucking dogshit that they can't communicate it properly.

>Last of Us Part 3 is about the daughter of one of the randos you killed wanting revenge against Ellie "you also killed our dog!"

So I'm sure nobody related to the hundreds of people she killed will seek revenge? Seems like she only multiplied the cycle by hundreds of times.

Yeah, one of the things I'm seeing in the scenes is she isn't really acting like herself. I know she was 13 in the first one but I feel like the person she turned into kinda came from nowhere. Then again according to this game Ellie wanted to die so it could all "mean something" and felt that Joel robbed her of purpose. Which I feel like wasn't really communicated well in the first game if that was her entire character motivation.

The writers are

>Abby kills someone Ellie loves.
>Ellie proceeds to kill all of Abby's friends.
>Doesn't kill Abby for whatever fucking reason at the end.
>Somehow this breaks the cycle of revenge.

All it means is the deaths leading up to the last encounter were for nothing if she isn't even going to follow through.

So basically what Tarantino wants to do with next Kill Bill

Kek

I'm actually excited for that though, at least it will be fun.

>World is a burned-out husk because remnants of the Westboro Baptist Church found nuclear warheads and nuked everyone
>Halfway through the game you come across an immaculately preserved Holocaust Museum
>30 minute cutscene ensues of you paying your respects
>The fact this is the only cutscene in the game you can't skip is praised as breathtaking and a 'masterstroke of game design'

>Kills loadsa people including women across the game
>Vomits when she shoots preggo girl trying to stab her with a knife
I don't get it.

It's just creepy commies glorifying murdering kids by having one say she wants it. Joel knew better than to let a bunch of nutty vivisectionists exploit a child's survivor's guilt to experiment.

Neil sure is

dont forget women,poc and indirectly a baby
Ellie has a lot of blood on her hands

>game focused entirely on a linear story and nothing else
>worse writing than Bioware's reanimated corpse
What exactly is the appeal of this?

>all light is snuffed
>there is only darkness left

Because she killed a baby in the process which is going to far for her. I get it.

Now what I don't get is why they decided to have a scene where Ellie acts all high and mighty to some old guy calling her a dyke when she is a literal serial killer.

What happens with her gf?

>ludonarrative dissonance
Druckmann specifically addresses it in an achievement of the same name in Uncharted 4.
Guess what, he's right. Why the fuck do you want arbitrary narrative consistency to take precedence over fun gameplay? ... In general, obviously this is still a shit game.

>a baby
wut?

Leaves with her boyfriend.

i actually think that is the current plot for LOU2 was the VERY BAD ENDING, where you didn everything wrong, that would be cool.
But only if there was a GOOD ENDING as well. Which there isn't.

So the moral of the story is, no matter what you do, no matter your morals and principals, you will be left with nothing. LOL.

Honestly the ending of TLOU 1 was so fucking good.
How did they fuck this one up so badly?
