![]() ![]() The while game is an emotiona dive into the pits of Rage and Despair. It's much harder to get us simultaneously in the emotional space of an enraged, revenge-minded mass Ellie bent on avenging her mentor, and to then do a full 180 and get us to identify with the person who committed these crimes against us. It's very easy to make us feel a connection to an old man who's rediscovering his emotions and a young girl who swears like a sailor - especially when the direction of the story is taking us up the mountain toward the light of hope. Having said that, I think Part 2 was a much more ambitious project. Likewise the Parrallels between Ellie and Abby were sometimes a little too on-the-nose and I found it jarring - the Zebra scene being the primary example. We were told to care about her because she is a trope, not because we've necessarily formed an emotional connection ourselves. I wasn't sold on Dina - I wanted more character development and emotional connection before " Pregnant: Must protect". The other thing is that I think Part 1 was a little more polished. As such a good chunk of Part 2 was really jot enjoyable, but it was obviously very well done. This is partly because Part 1 is about Hope, which is an uplifting emotion, while part 2 is about rage, which is an uncomfortable emotion. Literally the best scenes in the game are the ones with Ellie and Joel (no surprise there) and we're forced fed a trans love scene cause it's "art". ![]() Thing is the game play was amazing sure but the story was dogshit. ![]() It's as if in the last of us 1 while Joel is torturing the 2 guys to tell him where Ellie is he decides "you kno what fuck her I cba let's just stop fighting and have peace " it's like wtf was the entire story about then? What was the point of developing the character if it ends in a "o well revenge is bad bye bye" it's so anti climatic and people here are loving lost of us 2. She killer a whole pregnant ass girl and tortured others to tell the truth. Yet people prefer a pure revenge story that I already knew what I was getting my self into after 30min playing the game? Like really? She goes through her friend's killings dogs (manipulative tactic) by the creators to then letting Abby go which literally makes 0 sense. You see the whole story revolved around them which made it special. Never knew how many people like a boring ass revenge story? Last of us 1 was a deep story about Joel not wanting to have daughter feelings for another girl while also trying to deliver her safely. ![]()
