I must be in the minority, but I was wholly unimpressed with The Last of Us, story-wise. Yes, it’s well told but there was absolutely nothing memorable about it until the last 5 minutes which set up an absolutely amazing sequel. Joel is not a good man, and that was my takeaway from the first game but it meant nothing since it didn’t really matter until the very end.
I loved seeing the contrast between Joel’s, Ellie’s, and Abby’s responses to the craving for revenge and I think that’s exactly what makes The Last of Us’ story as good as it is, and that wouldn’t have happened if Joel didn’t get what he got.
I came here to chew bubblegum and for the last of us season 2. Guess what? I’m all out of bubblegum.
I looooovveeed TLOU but I can’t watch the new season. I’m not a fan of game 2.
Found the Joel sympathizer lol
Many such cases.
Naughty Dog hurt a lot of people.
Yep… I’ve blanked it out of my mind.
I still want to watch it, but the second game was Tragic. It starts and ends hurting all your feelings.
Yep, and that and many other things about it didn’t work for me

I respect that. Just didn’t work for me in any way at all.
