I got it. It just wasn't very good. What are some of your favourite tv shows, films, books etc in terms of storytelling? 

I'm not going to start listing, I've read and watched many acclaimed tv shows, movies , books.

At the subreddit for tlou2,  there are many who hated the story, and  more who loved it. There have been essays written how good it is lol. Normally those who didn't like it  were still in shock after what they did do joel, and couldn't adjust to the shift moving to abby. Then you had the other half who were able to understand why joel went out that way, and they actually gave Abby a chance. The shift from ellie to abby and so on wasn't as jarring. 

I found the story that much better on my second playthrough though, and third.There was alot of dialogue that resonated more and picked up on, that initially passed because i was caught up in the action. Especially the slower paced moments and dialogue between secondary characters who i didn't initially care for, journal entries etc.

There is no in between, either you hated it or loved it lol 

As I've said before. It has interesting ideas that are very poorly executed. I could write an essay on how poor a lot of the writing and charactersaion is. I've also read essays on how bad the writing is lol. 

Personally I was fine with Joel dying. It's the execution (pun) that was the problem. 

Also I don't hate the game. As I said in my first comment there are things I liked about it. They just don't make up for the big flaws.
