@esqueejy: There are sad endings and then there are pointless endings. What was the purpose of playing the game? The game literally had NO POINT to it, other than to kill every previous character either mentally or physically. As "entertainment" the game does not serve any purpose, if you see value in that good on you, but in the future I will be wary of investing time and money on developers that seem to hold its customers in contempt.
@Atzenkiller: That's because most people are essentially good and want to do good things even in video games. TLOU 2 is essentially appealing to sociopaths and people with stunted emotions who seem to want to explore self harm.
@blindbsnake: Stop banging that drum, of course I get it. Anyone who hasn't had a full frontal lobotomy gets it within the first two hours of the game, I get it you enjoyed it, it's the Ladybirds book version of "My first revenge tale" but for the rest of us who have actually had some experience with life over the last 40 years sees it for what it actually is. Enjoy your game, I'm off to get some satisfying revenge with a good streak of moral code thrown in there for good measure on Ghosts of Tsushima, the story just like TLOU 2 has been done many times before but it appears Sucker Punch doesn't actually hate it's audience.
@Atzenkiller: The game tells you right off the bat the Samurai code is to face your opponent and look him in the eye when you kill him, and all the way through act I characters are explaining honour - you are supposed to behave better than the mongols and thieves to set an example for the people in your care.
I didn't realise! I've put about 20 hours in and haven't left Act I yet, I've been going full stealth and have been getting constant thunderstorms but then just changing the weather back to sunny after the encounter every time lol.
@blindbsnake: the game did not go over my head in any way, it was a 6 year olds reddit fanfiction of "humans bad" and I'll say it again you're looking at a painting that used fecal matter to outline the image and you're calling it high art. The game may be 18 rated but in reality the point it's trying to make is for people with an emotional age of 12.
@esqueejy: Why would I pay £60 to feel miserable? You can get away with that when it's a 2 hour movie and you haven't invested massive amounts of time or money in it, but not when you have put 25+ hours into something and a significant amount of money. Why would you pay money to have someone hurt you over and over for 25 hours unless you had some serious mental issues??
I'm amazed at people who say they like to spend money and not feel good about in the end lol
Ellie killing Abby would not have been a darker ending, it would have been a much happier one. Watching Abby having a happy ending while Ellie is completely destroyed is the worst ending they could have possibly had (except for beating her brains out with a waffle iron at the end)
After 25 hours am I really expected to have spent my money to have the single emotion of "what was the point of me playing any of that nonsense".
God I hated that game, it was like a 6 year old slapped some fanfiction onto the most beautiful artwork ever created and tried to pass itself off as profound. All I could think about was 20 people stood around the painting made of poo in an art gallery nodding sagely at how amazing this thing was while I'm stood there asking the eternal question "You're joking right?"
