People who vote anything less than 1 are simple minded and half of those people didn't even play this masterpiece. Yes Joel dies and it was not a nice way to go, but Abby had her reasons and ANY ONE OF YOU woulda done the same. Best game i've ever played (story based single player) BY A MILE. Don't bother replying with a debate, i won't read it and I don't care. These are for the people who didn't play it and think its bad. Grow up and open up to the realization this is an apocalypse and this 2nd game is opening to the best trilogy we've ever seen in a video game series. Cannot wait for the 3rd one and i will be 1st in line to get it.
