She gets a change of heart when she was about to kill Abby?? Meanwhile the amount of people she has killed just to get to that point never even made her realize what's going on? LMAO! BRAVO DRUCKMANN!
Also, I hate Dina. She's just so flat and boring. That pregnancy reveal bullshit was downright hilarious. That shit came out of the left field. Abby... I just can't connect to her. She is just flat out deranged. Not even the parts where there seems to be some sort of "human" side to her makes me feel anything. I don't know how anyone can defend the writing in this game. This is just really fucking bad. This is what I think the story should have been. Spoiler!
The last flash back with Joel was a powerful one. It should have been the core story of the game. Joel getting that one forgiveness that truly matters to him. Disregarding everyone else, Joel truly robbed Ellie of a purpose. That could have been a more interesting take into this matter that could continue on with what TLOU1 has left us.
I wasn't mad that Joel died in this game. In fact I believe that he should be killed off to put a proper ending to this series. It makes sense from a karma point of view. What he did will have consequences and will eventually catch onto him. However, what Druckmann did was a huge kick in the nuts and a disrespect to the beloved character. If he thought people were just going to get shocked by that, he definitely misjudged that. This shit is really all over the place. The signs were there in Uncharted 4. The writing was a tad stupid in that game. But it was nowhere near this level. Now onto the topic at hand, I think Neil Druckmann put his political correct agendas first before crafting an actual good story. The sexuality of the characters are not so important. If he crafted a game with these characters and delivered a really good story, I don't fucking mind. More power to them. But this thing, it goes way beyond the actual game and how he behaves on social media and such. So yes, I agree that his agendas affected the quality of ND games in negative way. |
Your review sums-up exactly the feeling I'm reading from people that disliked the game with the same explanations, from either people that played until the end and people that just watched a stream.
