in response to post 250: you're being fine pezz, ulti is the ridiculous one in 95% of his conversations.

No, I think this game should have been a full game that ends with Joel dying, or at least have it happen in the middle and set up a slow burn Abby face turn and sequel. Having a major character die ASAP is just bad storytelling and would get mocked by any reputable film/literature critic.
Okay but the major character didn't die ASAP. He died after a full game. This game doesn't exist in a vacuum, it exists with the first game preceding it.

What would realistically happen in TLOU2 that would justify a sequel if it weren't a story like this one? Would Joel and Ellie just dick around in Jackson and occasionally go on patrol until Abby shows up to kill him at the end instead of the beginning? It's not like Abby is gonna exist for a whole game alongside Joel before she kills him. She's just gonna do it as soon as she finds him. Hence, the story structure given makes the most sense.
