Please vote based on the original on-disc ending, not the free Updated Ending DLC that was added later or any of the aftermath paid DLCs.

Is there any particular reason for this?

That's the crux of the game. The entire structure is purposeful. It's made the way it is made to elicit feelings of anger when you play as Abby. You are supposed to not want to engage with her story. Just as in real life, when someone does something or says something or believes something that you despise, we don't engage with them. We dismiss them.

However, it is only thru engagement that we actually start to develop a better idea of their motivations, why they believe what they believe, and what has happened to them that has created this kind of behaviour. It humanized them.

This entire game is calling for us all to put aside our initial reactions to people we disagree with, people we have extreme negative emotions toward, and look at them as complex humans who are motivated to operate in the way they do because of an entire life or moments of pain and joy that sculpt them into the person you're interacting with now.

There is a strong parallel between Abby as your own personal "outgroup," and all the game is doing is asking you to engage with her story to see what happens for you. If you can start to see her on a different way

So would you say this is a more central/important theme than revenge is bad?

I still think that's presumptuous if there's no sign of it being an actual hoarding problem. Like, I have stuff that I don't strictly need (old consoles/games, books that I'm probably never going to re-read, etc.) but whatever, it's fine. If someone was like "you know, you don't need all that stuff" I'd be like "probably not, but oh well." But if they started getting pushy about it, that would be out of line - they're my things and I can do what I want with them.

Drakeryn is a hoarder, confirmed.

A lot of video games routinely ask you to kill. Like, a lot. Repeatedly. Over and over.

So like the basic rule of "thou shall not kill" is thrown out the window almost immediately.

Im not asking you how it makes you feel when you explode someones frozen corpse in Mortal Kombat.

Im talking about real life. Do you ever go back and entertain second thoughts about a person on real life that you had previously mentally labeled as bad?

This comparison really doesn't make sense because we're comparing people's behaviour in modern society with proper rules and law vs a post-apocalyptic world where most of that shit is thrown out the window.

...No? People have reasons for what they do and who they are regardless of the world they live in. Sympathy is a universal condition that can exist in any setting. And basic rules like thou shall not kill are pretty universal and transcend the conditions you live in.

I haven't really either but I understand that it can have racialized and colonial connotations.

Regardless. The entire point of the game, to me, was a criticism of in and out groups. It is why throwing Abby at us all of a sudden works so well. You are expected to react with disgust, just as we react with disgust to people who harbor beliefs that we don't agree with. It's hyperbolic, but it runs the same course. We hate Abby because of what she did, but we have no context at all for it. We hate her based on a single event in the entire timeline of her life. It isn't until we are able to engage with her a bit more that we start to soften to her, and see her as more then just the person who killed Joel.

Look, Im normally all for not letting a single event define a persons entire life. But there is somewhere a line that exists, that once crossed, makes that fair. Im pretty comfortable with saying that cold blooded torture-murder is on the far side of that line.

What I find strange is that nobody can really explain what makes the storyline good. Like, nobody describes what makes it so good. They just use buzzwords to describe it. I can't wrap my head around it. As a AAA video game, sure. Maybe it's a bit more deep than your standard fare, but man. This story is embarrassingly poor and if it didn't have the name "The Last of Us" on it then nobody would be defending it.

Ive seen a fair number of people who think the story is whatever, but theyre in it for the gameplay and presentation.
