Gameplay highlight of the first game is when you had to sneak through that parking garage basement when you usually had very little resources to getting caught meant you're dead.

So the story was literally about a man helping and teaching a girl? Literal patriarchy, no wonder it had to be shit on!
Seriously though...
What an idiotic choice to make you PLAY as the person who just killed the two protagonists who you've built up an emotional connection with. Redemption arcs take time, and they are difficult. Tossing you over to literally control the thing being used to destroy characters the player actually has substantial empathy for without some amazing and lengthy plot to garner some empathy in turn is so completely tone deaf. The culprit here sounds more like autism than anything else. That takes some profound misunderstanding of how people build attachment to imaginary personas.

It was one of those games that actually got easier for the most part as you went through just due to resources and skills. Hardest part of the game imo though was playing as Ellie where you have the tons of infected attack you and the other dude. Starting the generator underneath the hotel and have a bloater pop out scared the shit out of me though.

It should do one of those cutscenes perspectives shifts where you just naturally start controlling the character the very second you finish
beating Ellie to death with a baseball bat.
That'd really drive it home.

If what is said in the spoilers happens in the game I wouldn't be surprise to see massive refunds on the game, the media could always blame racist, right wing males for the game tanking.

I dunno, the media could go for a needless violence against women narrative... oh who am I kidding... stunning and brave trannies are higher on the progressive stack.

Them getting shit on so much in the comments makes me happy. I genuinely hope this game bombs now. How many franchises can these cultists ruin? Apparently all of them.

The first game was legit one of the few games my wife, who doesn’t game, wanted me to only play when she could watch because of the story. The knife to the knee scene made her react like brutal scenes in GoT. And she immediately latched onto Joel saving Ellie as a way to redeem his failure with his daughter. And the one melody that was eponymous with the game was fantastic at mood setting.
gameplay was alright. Agreed. Nothing special. But the world was a lot more interesting than the Walking Dead.

You know, of all the possible interests ranging from baking to golf, why the fuck did SJW's have to choose video games and sci-fi movies to infest and destroy? It's like these fucks decided to specifically ruin my two of my favorite things in life.
