Abby isn't a bad character, but her entire playable plot in this game was pointless and did nothing to ruin the pacing.

Why is she hated so much?

She is a bad character. I always questioned how people can hate fictional characters since it’s only entertainment but holy fuck she’s a giant cunt

>She is a bad character
Why? Her motivation that drives her is understandable. She's well acted and written, by the second half of the game is mostly pointless. The whole Lev/Yara thing adds nothing and just drags it out.

The entire game was bad.
>DUHH CYCLE OF HATRED TROPE
>DURRRRRRR THE CYCLE MUST BE BROKEN SOMEWHERE
get fucked, Neil Jewman

She's not a "bad character" so much as she's an unnecessary one that fucks up an otherwise meh narrative by padding it with shit no one cares about.

If you're going to force me to play as the antagonist half way through the game you'd better make it more interesting than "SEE LOOK HOW SYMPATHETIC THIS PERSON YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO STOP IS FEEL SORRY FOR THEM RIGHT NOW!!!!"

>The entire game was bad.
What exactly di you dislike?

Characters must be interesting to watch.

Abby isn't.

The end.

>kill dozens, hundreds of random mooks, plenty of whom probably have friends and family back at base
>finally get to the person you've been after this whole time, who's death is so important to you you're willing to kill anyone in your way
>don't kill them because KILLING BAD

BRAVO

Is she a trainy or not?
I lift weights regularly and her arms arebigger then mine. Is she officially a man in game

>Abby isn't interesting to watch
Depends

I hear many negroes complaining but I din't heard an alternative to fix the story. It is very easy to complain when you never have write a script
I want to hear your alternative character buildings and the new story you will consider a good story.

Games about KILLING BAD always ring hollow for this reason.

I'd love to see more videogames where fights end inconclusively - your enemy just runs away when he feels like he's losing, or he gives up and surrenders and lets you take his shit so long as you stop hurting him. That kind of thing. Killing should be rare.

That way a KILLING BAD message can actually get through.

If we hadn't seen her side of the story (which I thought was also interesting in its own right), the ending wouldn't have the power it does. She's arguably a better person than Ellie and certainly doesn't deserve to die any more than she does.

Also, her half of the game was worth it for the theatre confrontation alone. That was fucking amazing.

I never felt like the game was overtly telling me what to feel. It felt like it was just presenting both of their stories and inviting me to consider my feelings towards them and their actions. I felt conflicted most of them time, which is exactly what they intended.

>KILLING BAD
That isn't why Ellie lets Abby go. Ellie thought she was on a journey of revenge but she was really on a journey to forgive Joel. She realises while drowning Abby that it isn't going to help at all, just as Abby realised right after killing Joel that it was a disgusting and pointless thing to do.

Christ, who put that together? Quite impressive though.

Abby is a girl or a tranny?

Abby didn't save Ellie's life right before Ellie tried to kill her

Not so with Joel and Abby

No, she's definitely not a tranny. Her design is poor though. They didn't have to make her a meat head, it really doesn't add anything.

Anyone wanna explain how a tranny gets HRT in the middle of an apocalypse?

>I want to hear your alternative character buildings and the new story you will consider a good story.
The character is the story. The story can't be fixed without essentially rewriting the character, which would functionally essentially be an entirely different plot as well.

In addition, REVENGE BAD is a boring trope and it's especially hollow in a game where killing people is a large part of the gameplay. So you'd have to change not only the character and the plot but the entire theme of the game.

Basically, TLOU2 is bad from first principles. No part of the narrative is salveagable.

Her character is written terribly. Her entire development takes place in a dumb flashback before you fight her. Its then uselessly elongated as you rapidly forget about the reasons why the antagonist serves that function. Finally it snaps back to her being the antagonist.

Abby is not complex and is not human. She is a character in a video game. And she is written poorly by people who didnt make characters well.

Her problem was that she was connected to Joel and Ellie in a really eh way.
Her character arc makes more sense if you remove all that revenge stuff
The cycle doesn't work if you kill everyone who tries to take revenge on you

Zig Forums did
several threads and a doc where everyone would claim a single frame from the clip and redraw it, then slammed it all together
it reminds me why I still come to this shithole

>She realises while drowning Abby that it isn't going to help at all
Bet the few hundred mooks she killed wish she realized that sooner

>I never felt like the game was overtly telling me what to feel.
Now I just have to disagree with that. Remember the part where it locks you in the room to play fetch with that dog?

That's one of many differences between the two, but it doesn't contradict anything I wrote. Also, Abby did let Ellie live at the theatre even after she killed Owen and Mel.

Is there testosterone vials you pick up and inject as abby? How is this tranny even alive during an apocalypse?

Just cut the whole Abby part that dominates the second half. Add more Ellie narrative. The game is too long and ND trying to force the player to connect and sympathise with Abby and the things going on around her is just pointless.

Only tranny is Lev/Lily.

She doesn't kill the mooks out of a personal vendetta but because they represent an imminent lethal threat to her. There's still going to be some
>ludonarrative dissonance
, it's an action game after all.

Scenes like that were quite heavy handed and they didn't make me personally feel guilty for my actions as Ellie, but they still helped humanise Abby's story. I had no strong opinion about the dog stuff one way or the other, it was among the least memorable parts of the game but never offended me.

Abby is not transgender.

I honestly find it very odd that you played TLOU2 and think it would have been improved by removing playable Abby.

Mmmmbullshit she's definitely a tranny. Not a single "girl" has muscle mass like that without testosterone and a ridiculous amount of calories to maintain it.

>I honestly find it very odd that you played TLOU2 and think it would have been improved by removing playable Abby.
Then explain why you think it's odd

Abby's plot in this game is her regaining her humanity through the unlikely guardianship of a naive kid that is threatened by people unable to let go of the past.

If you think that's unnecessary to the story then you are a terminal brainlet.

>Joel saves her life
>HURRRR DURRRRR I KILL U

Abby the Tranny.

All of it

>she

>Her motivation that drives her is understandable.

Her motivation is fucking retarded.

>DURR MY DAD WAS TRYING TO MURDER YOUR SURROGATE DAUGHTER FOR A PROCEDURE TO OBTAIN A HYPOTHETICAL CURE FOR WHICH NO ONE HAD ANY EVIDENCE WOULD EVEN WORK. HOW DARE YOU KEEP HIM FROM KILLING YOUR LOVED ONE YOU ABSOLUTE MONSTER, I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!

Because it's poor design, not because she's a tranny.

Yall negroes salty because teenager waifu is not the entire story protagonist.
Ignorants alwais critisize but can't improve the product. You are arguing about revenge topic. Maybe you should create a new topic and write a solid story or maybe you should create your own multimillionaire videogame.
You are not mad about the quality of the narrative, you are all mad about loli isn't on screen.
