I'm gonna be brief and I'll probably miss a bunch but in summation: *heavy spoilers obviously*

  • Joel dies in a particularly brutal fashion in the first hour or so. Abby hunts him down, shoots his leg w a shotgun and caves his head in with a golf club in front of Ellie. This is in revenge for Joel killing her father.
  • Abby is rather muscular and not designed in game to be conventionally attractive in a feminine sense. Some people assumed she was trans prior to release.
  • At the halfway point you switch perspectives from Ellie to Abby. Some G*mers took exception to having to play as her after she killed Joel
  • There is actually a trans male in the game who accompanies Abby through a decent chunk of her story. This obviously upset some people.


I think those are the main ones.

The main character in the last one was brutally killed by Abby. Abby is a large strong women. Like linebacker size and not pretty. She doesn't die at the and eats Ellies fingers .

I think it's a GOAT game, but there were a lot of people who had their own issues with it.

some legitimate (people have legitimate issues with pretty much everything, no matter how well regarded those things might be), but there were also those who had issues with stuff like LGBTQ+ representation, and *very heavy spoilers* there were those who took issue with Joel being killed; whether it was how he was killed, the circumstances that brought him there, and/or the fact that he was killed altogether

Even outside of the ridiculous situation that people are doing this, the crazy thing is Abby isn't even unattractive. By video game/media standards maybe but she's still above the average person you'd see on the street.

She's just built like a brick shithouse. Which, to me, really only makes it better

Abby was the more interesting part of that game. But the whole game is well done. It's a game that it's hard for me to not see a bias in calling it bad cause it's objectively not bad. It's either your thing or not your thing. Both those are fair

Laura Bailey copped it a lot at launch. Dunno if it has got better for her. I would have thought it would have died down for all of them by now.

No you completely missed the main one, that the story is poorly written with the idiot ball being tossed around like it is a bad sitcom.

Characters travel hundreds of miles only to find their target in the middle of a snowstorm, characters who are hardened survivors walk into the middle of unknown people's bases and announce who they are, characters leave other characters alive that threaten to kill them to their face only for them to come back and kill them, and characters leave maps to their secret hideouts lying around after killing someone....it goes on and on. It is a terribly written game.

As for this nonsense, it is just that. Why you would give crediance to such trolls is beyond me, she is only enabling them.

I know you are simple but at least hit the main complaints if you are going to bullet point.

Though I know you were just trying to misrepresent reality, at least do a good job of it next time. You could do a youtube search and find hundreds of videos detailing the narrative problems with that game.

Yeah I remember reading about that. I watch Jocelyn on Twitch sometimes so I guess I've heard more of it from her. I just find it weird that the person with the least creative input seems to have gotten it the worst and for the longest, but I guess it's pointless to try and make sense of someone who sends messages like that.
