I thought they said they wouldn't make TLOU2 if they didn't have a story to tell and why would they even think, any large portion of the people who praised TLOU would go along with a revenge story. My main criticism of this, something I've siad since the cultist trailer dropped, is it's a revenge story and now we know that that is true and the execution from a glance looks shoddy as fuck. Maybe it works better on screen but I highly doubt it and lord I hope Abby isn't transgender or they used the extra time to scrub that out cause it just adds salt to the wound, I mean a post apocalypse transgender person it just doesn't add up.
NaughtyDog have gone way past the point of addin things to there games for the sake of adding them already, like turning Chloe half Indian but It didn't bother me all too much, now though, it's really starting to stink of a forceful hand instead of an organic creation... okay that's not entirely true I nearly stopped playing LL because Chloe's ethnicity change was such a fucking weird choice for them to make and eventually did stop cause the dialouge in that game was like somrthing out of a disney star wars film. That change had absolutely no reason and that's what exactly why it bothered me, they add these things in but fail to have them make sense or have a purpose aside from stroking their Californian collective smugness. I want new and unique themes explored so it fucking bugs me as to why these people can't leave it on the cutting room floor if you can't make it work cause you're only having other media producers avoid it when it fails. |
She's not the leak footage clearly shows that, people are jumping to conclusion and pasting together a narrative that's not even hinted at it. We played as joel for 3/4 of game, we now will play as Abby for 1/2 of game... why do people think ND can't build that character up to be someone we care about. When Joel almost died in the first game that was half way... ask you're self did you care about him them? Well that's the same amount time we will get with Abby.

Because she killed someone that you admitted players spent more time actually playing as. Also fighting Ellie as a final boss. The image of Abby choking out Ellie is very unsettling, and not in a good way. Compared to Abby (the shot of her arm muscles in particular) Ellie looks like a defenceless victim. And this is the other fan favourite that you spend the first half of the game playing as, on top of the first games character building. Killing Joel and forcing the gamer to beat Ellie within an inch of her life makes any character building of Abby by ND a seriously uphill battle.
