I like blunt, brave, divisive stories. Killing Joel at the start of the game startly put it over the first one story-wise. Overall I like the art direction of the second better than the first, as I spent most of the time in a cloudy raining Seattle is just fit the moody and atmosphere of the game perfectly. The art direction of the game is suberb, don't even look like a zombie game 

they could have waited till the end of the game to kill him off. they killed a iconic character like he was trash lol. the best part story for me was when joe and ellie are together but oh well.

But his being killed was the story plot. There wouldn't be a game without his murder. It gave me very ASOIAF vibes with Martin killing Eddard Stark at the end of the first book, explicitly telling the audience "This book is not what you think it is". Joel death is still the most shocking death I've seen in games, because it was completely unexpected (for me)
