Out of nowhere? Totally unexpected? What?

Come on. Even if you were on a total media black out for the game, basic mathematics would foreshadow what happened in the prolog.

While it may not have been completely unexpected, it was still quite a shocking and emotional moment.

About my experience with the beginning of the game:

When I started the game I didn't know anything about the fact that Ellie was not Joel's daughter since I didn't really follow the development of the game, so Sarah was a big surprise for me. But I instantly knew that she wouldn't make it and prepared myself not to attach myself emotionally to the character, which wasn't a problem since she died like 5 minutes into the game. I honestly didn't feel a thing despite the fact that it always kinda sucks when a kid dies.
