So what exactly was the central message of this game? That violence and revenge are bad, even though in a post-apocalyptic world, they're essential to survival?

It’s better to die and be forgotten than be the villain
Adrian Ross
can't tell whether shill or bait threads anymore
Ryan Reyes
Allow me to spell it out for you
Mason Rogers
the message is that serious and brutal story means the game good
Luis Hughes

Revenge bad. That's literally the extent of thought putting into this game, revenge is bad. Even though you kill hundreds of people lol and Abby gets away from her girl friend at the end despite having taken revenge on Joel.
Asher Gonzalez
It's about having discovering compassion when all around you is bleak and hostile, allowing you to break the cycle of hostility.

There is no message
In last of us 1 the game forced u to kill Abby(bitch) dad at the end
TLOU 2 force you to kill Abby friends in self defense as Ellie
Games says Abby is a angel compared to Ellie even though their two sides of the same coin
Game does not give you an option to spear or kill Abby
Just like Spec Ops the line the game forces you to commit atrocities and the only other option is to turn it off
>to tell the truth Cuckman fell under the pressure and Sony didn’t do any favors by DMCA ing non-leak material
Robert Wilson
there isnt necessarily a message to the player
it is simply a tragic story about the conflicts and emotions each of the two main protagonists (ellie and abby) went through while on their respective journeys
Samuel Adams
Don't let the high production values trick you that the writing is clever.
Revenge and killing is bad.
Even God of War 2018 did something very similar better. It also manage to make Kratos a likeable character.
God of War 2018 is a better TLoU2 than TLoU2.
Ethan Bennett
It's about how you shouldn't leave any survivors if you get caught killing someone

This. Revenge bad is older than our great great grandparents.
Asher Bennett
>father and child figure journeying to reach a destination
>father figure is basically a monster
>games are both about the past coming back to haunt you and breaking a cycle
>allies up with people (or rather a woman) that becomes your enemy
>etc
Also TLoU2 is bad, GoW 2018 is good.
Matthew Evans
Did you ever see that old Stone Cold Steve Austin movie the Condemned? It's this action movie where people die one by one and then at the climax a journalist character chastizes the audience for liking violence, it's hilarious
Anyways that's what this game reminds me of
Anthony Garcia
TLOU2 would have been massively improved if Joel died from a Stone Cold Stunner.
Sebastian Morris
revenge bad trannies good
Carter Roberts
I don't think it had or needed one. The first game didn't either- it was about its characters, their journeys, their motivations, and their hardest decisions.
Other than a few hammy moments involving dogs, TLOU2 rarely moralises about whose side you should be on or what you should be thinking. It just sets Ellie on her path to forgiving Joel, sets Abby on her path to self-atonement, and lets them live out their lives- driving themselves to near-destruction in the process.
If you thought it was trying to tell you "revenge bad", you should go play Santa Barbara and the ending again and think carefully about exactly why Ellie lets Abby live.
Hunter Rogers
Empathy and revenge gets people no where.

I would fucking die

I shouldn't have to play along in order to not break the immersion. That's what makes something immersive.
If I have to follow a script and not escape the boundaries of my role in order to for the game to be immersive, then it isn't immersive.
Joseph Moore
And then you get eaten by zombies or murdered by raiders because it’s a post apocalyptic living nightmare. Great lesson.
Adam Martinez
Idiot.
