Idk why people are getting so butt hurt over this game. The direction the devs took was how i thought the game would go, back when they revealed it. When a certain character kicks the bucket i knew from the get go that this person would probably be killed in the next game bc the last of us is a game about loss. And how you could lose someone you thought was grounded in the story in a heartbeat. kind of like The Walking Dead, similar to how someone on that show who was so big can just be killed in a heartbeat. You gotta understand this is a world where there are no morals and just because someone you liked straight dies and you complain then you probably shouldn't be playing this game. Other wise great graphics and combat is amazing to watch and feels great. Some people also hate the fact that Ellie is gay but they introduced that back when the left behind DlC came out for the first game so this was already set. Although I can agree that overall the first game was better in tone and suspense on what was going to happen next however this game is a still must play.
