If the purpose of the story is to make the player dislike Ellie, then what was the whole point of the scenes post-Santa Barbara beach fight if not to have you reconnect and sympathise with her character?
The Last of Us Part II
Daily TLOU2 seethe thread, makes me laugh every time
If the purpose of the story is to make the player dislike Ellie, then why did they make her so cute?
because the purpose of the story is not to make the player dislike ellie
I want to lick Ellie's dirty pussy then let her slit my throat and spit in my face while I die
because that's not the purpose of the story. The purpose was to understand your enemy's motives and empathize with them, something that gamers don't know how to do.
And here we have a daily TLOU2 shill
What is it you think I am seething about?
It's a general observation about the idea often claimed that ND wanted the player to see Ellie (and Joel) in a bad light and bond with Abby.
However, that might have made sense if the game finished at the moment Abby and Lev sped off in the boat, but it didn't, and everything that happened after simply reframed the Ellie/Joel relationship, clarified Ellie's motivations and reconnected her with the player.
> the idea often claimed
by who? people who watched someone do a let's play while reading chat the whole time and not bothering to immerse themselves in the story?
But TLOU2 completely failed to do this. Abby is still an insane psychopath even if she pets dogs and even if the game tries to pretend a lunatic who wanted to cut a child's brain out was a good person.
> And here we have a daily TLOU2 shill
>by who?
People who criticise the narrative of the game.
>ND wanted the player to see Ellie (and Joel) in a bad light
I don't think so. maybe in some parts, but that applies to abby in the first half as well. the story tries to make you see both perspectives, not hate either of them.
>Abby is still an insane psychopath
Ahaha, you again. The "psycho" spammer.
>I don't think so
I agree. However, it's not the view of many others.
I disliked Ellie because she was not as cute as she was in the first game
What the fuck? Do you have an argument, of do you want to shout at boogiemen?
kys pedo
How is it pedo to say someone is cute?
never understood the "psycho" argument. I'm assuming you're referring to when Abby was going to kill pregnant Dina. It's more "an eye for an eye" after what Ellie did to Owen and pregnant Mel.
My wife's boyfriend bought this game for me. I love it! Abby is a wonderful tranny character.
He doesn't either. He simply enters every TLOU2 thread screaming that Abby is a psycho.
your wife's boyfriend seems great!
The game simply wants you to forgive the new star of TLOU3 by any means necessary.
Abby could've squatted and shat in Joel's open skull and they still would've made it look like it's Joel's fault through a series of retcons and other cutscenes.
> squatted and shat on Joel's open skull
oooo so edgy
Ah yes, the idiot.
>*filters the brainlet and exposes the manchild*
F
rest in peace, old man, for your death was not in vain
I'm actually more referring to how she shot a man in the knee after he saved her life on the suspicion he was the man she wanted, then tortured him to death without even asking why he did it. Also Owen and Mel got themselves killed, but admittedly, Abby couldn't know that, and she even tried to stop Mel, but MUH BODY MUH CHOICE. So at least Abby isn't the worst character in the game.

Actually Ellie specifically let hid death be in vain.
>this man only killed her father. why couldn't she just debate him?
You're not supposed to dislike her you fucking mong. Regardless, Abby>Ellie.
The purpose of the story isn't to make you hate Ellie.
I know some anti-Abby fags will or already have tried to make the argument that because Ellie kills dogs and Abby plays fetch with them, it's to make the player hate Ellie and love Abby.
But they always seem to leave out the fact that Ellie gets to pet a dog sitting right next to the game's composer at the start of her prologue chapter.
>this man has the name Joel, better smash his skull in without asking any questions
did you even play the game? retard
in trannysh, "complex" mean "batshit insane lunatic unable to make a promise"
>Hey Owen I heard from some ex-Fireflies that Tommy Miller, Joel's brother is out in some settlement in Wyoming
>Cool Abs
>A few days later...
>Hi ya'll I'm Tommy and this here is my brother Joel, ya'll can come back to our settlement here in Wyoming and restock on supplies if you'd like
Gee I wonder how she figured it out
>get BTFO
>start adhomming
I accept your concession
If that man just saved my life at risk of his own, I'd be more confused about why he killed my dad.
Not really, since Joel's flashback prevented her from keep ruining her life. Had Ellie killed Abby, she would have killed herself eventually
She did ruin her life anyway though, she can't even play guitar.
>Had Ellie killed Abby, she would have killed herself eventually
Why would killing one more psychopathic monster make all the difference?
How did she know Ellie killed Owen and Mel? You'd think after seeing Manny get killed, she'd assume it was Tommy who killed them. So either she somehow knew, or she was about to (as far as she knew) kill two innocent women to get back at Tommy.
