I still can't get over the game. God, it's such a beautiful game the design is astounding. But WHY did they have to ruin it all with poor planned storytelling. Listen, I do NOT care that Joel died, it's HOW he died. You can kill off an important person, if not the main character, and still have an incredible story from then on. It felt like a poorly planned version of the Lee moment from The Walking Dead games. This game felt like a train wreck of a story from then on after his death. I know they were probably going for shock value, but the way it all played out completely went against all the character development they had in the first game. I loved everything about TLOU and i love the design of TLOU2 but i absolutely hate the story.
