Well, as I wrote to KLA Marine a few pages ago (direct link), I've reached the conclusion in my replays that the ending of The Last of Us Part II is actually a hopeful one if you pay attention to the details. At least that's how I interpret it anyway.

Concerning your preference that this game should've either been a Jackson community-building title or written by Steven Spielberg...well at least you got half your wish with all the Jurassic Park and Lost World references and allusions both at the museum and in the auto chase scene (allusion to the Lost World arcade game). It's kind of like Steven Spielberg was involved.

Hahaha brilliant.

But anyway, for all those who see better things on the second than the first, I just have to say that I couldn't disagree more. The disagreement is so strong that makes it impossible to debate. For me seeing more light on this game than the first is just completely bonkers.

Kotaku reviewer just nailed it when they called it misery simulator. I'll stick to that and it's final. I'll never replay this game, I'll resell it instead.

Finally, time to move one.

Resell it to me, I could use a back-up copy just in case!

"I'll resell it instead"

A wise decision! Hope you can get the bulk of your money back.

It's common knowledge that you never had any interest in this game to begin with.

Let it go man. Move on with your life. There are more important battles to fight.

On the contrary, this whole debacle makes me more interested. As an aspiring writer, I want to dissect this story and pin-point what went wrong and learn what NOT to do when writing a story.

Considering you are aspiring and ND is professionals humbleness would come a long way.

I'm not calling myself an accomplished writer. Aspiring = humility.

Not really, it is just that you can't really call yourself professional if you can't sustain yourself with that work. Being professional doesn't mean you are better or worse than an amateur on technique or similar, but means you can earn your keep.

The way you wrote was very far from humble actually, it was just very disrespectful.

If I was one that didn't like the elements or the story of TLOU2 the way I would phrase that (since I also write, have 3 books finished) would be "The story in TLOU2 had a line that is very different than what I aspire to do so I could use it as template of what elements I don't want to follow because I want to write about hope, luck, fortune" or whatever else you want to mean.

The way you wrote is just what I use to the first company I worked at "There I learnt all I needed to make a company thrive, by doing the opposite of what they did". Do that looks humble or disrespectful? And in this case the company had a very big revenue but still wasn`t able to pay me, they usually where down 3 months behind, so yes their management was dreadfull.
