#1. kill myself. obvs it would end my suffering. not the best way. but you cant deny IT WOULD END MY SUFFERING

[trvelyans-archive]

i don’t even have anything to say actually. i was expecting to make a review post about tlou2 but there’s really nothing to say.

however i will repeat my past posts anyway because we all love suffering and dr uckmann likes making us suffer

things i liked:

dina !!! jesse !!! lev !!! yara !!! tommy before he was like That !!! jj !!!

exploration was fun besides seattle day 1 (bars) which was, personally, a huge slog on ellie’s behalf

rlly cool location design (aquarium, wlf stadium, jackson)

the rat king fight was actually super fun

LOVE LOVE LOVE the design for the building bridges with lev and abby it was one of the best parts of the game

i actually liked the abby ellie theatre fight (but i liked the david fight and feel like comparing ellie and david is a heretic comparison)

b o a t i n g

accessibility options !!! super cool !!!

the silenced gun you get in the resort chapter

all the collectible notes - that stuff is always rlly cool to me, i love it

the design for some of the buildings ! the cafes, the hotel w abby and lev, the salons, the bike shop, etc... all rlly cool and just. idk. dynamic and realistic

abby’s crossbow................ so incredibly sexy

how they showed off abby’s fear of heights... very cool !!! also several tims i went “you can do it abs” when trying to make her cross the bridge and then immediately didn’t like myself for it xx LKSJDFLK

rain sounds :) says my asmr-loving ass

good graphics !!! very pretty at times !!!

dina and jesse and lev and yara and tommy :) oh an alice ! a queen :’)

the flashbacks w ellie and joel !!! the museum flashback was very cool !!!

things i did not like

ellie’s seattle day 1, esp the open world area - i felt so disconnected and bored the whole time

ellie calling dina a burden.... i don’t think she would literally ever do that no matter how betrayed she felt by dina surprising her with the pregnancy thing

jesse getting shot in the face incredibly quickly and then not having him mentioned a single time after that ? ellie writes about him in her journal, like, once

playing as abby before jackson... felt very weird ??? idk why it just felt so so unnecessary 

tommy being very ooc ??? like ??? weirdly so ??? breaking up with maria 

killing dogs :) did not like that at all bc animal death is incredibly upsetting for me 

hey neil could you have put in more characters getting hanged or hung from posts ????? could you really ???

abby’s completely inconsistent writing

lev being deadnamed and misgendered SO MUCH - why couldn’t they call him apostate instead ??? 

the excessive and graphic violence, especially in the abby/ellie fight at the end and the boss fight with the scar at the end of haven - did not wanna watching abby stab that man in the face 3-4 times and having him spurt blood everywhere

giving yara such a shitty death where lev didn’t even get to say goodbye.......... even though he lost his mom like 30 minutes earlier............... wig

making marlene sympathetic in salt lake city and having abby’s dad coerce her into otherwise, which makes joel shooting her point blank in the head at the end of the first game even worse (especially bc he’s a white man and she’s a woc) because it’s obvious that she wasn’t entirely convinced and could have been swayed relatively easily

the abby and ellie fight. wig. it was so terrible watching these two incredibly weak and vulnerable women fight completely bloodied and soaked with water and grunting with pain/exertion the whole time. it’s like a 4 minute scene in which abby bites ellie’s fingers off and ellie sinks a knife into abby’s chest and then we watch abby’s face as ellie attempts to drown her. THAT above everything else in the game feels like murder

again, so many people getting hanged or being strung up, which makes me very very upset if that thing about neil druckmann liking horror bc he saw a video of a lynching once is true, can’t stop thinking about that post,

a homophobe yelling at ellie and dina for no reason........ couldn’t he have called ellie lazy or something like ????? they did not need to be called a slur ?????

maria forcing ellie to talk to the man who called her a slur for no reason and the man not even really apologizing for it (probably bc he didn’t want to lol....... but that’s just my opinion)

the scars and rattlers feeling unnecessary and shoe-horned in - again i don’t play a zombie game for the final bosses to all be human and so i can be told that “humans are the real bad guys” over and over again

HOW HAVE I NOT MENTIONED THE ABBY AND OWEN SEX SCENE ALREADY. H. HUH ???????? WHO WANTED THAT !!!!

neil druckmann wanted joel to say “sarah” when he died LMAO THAT MAKES ME WANNA DIE

once again getting the best gun in the game in the final 20 minutes for no reason ? i actually don’t understand why they do that

their respective seattle day 1/2/3 not being one after the other instead of all in a row, which made the story feel choppy and didn’t rlly flow smoothly - obvs we all knew where it was going, but having a back-and-forth would have been good for pacing because i completely forgot about ellie and the literal plot of the game after 1 day with abby

abby’s entire seattle day 1/2/3 having nothing to do with the main plot literally at all, her sudden liking of lev felt completely inconsistent to her character and everything about her

joel’s death being humiliatingly pathetic, for literally no reason

the abby/ellie theatre fight in which ellie is the bad guy and you play that fight the same way you play the fight with a cannibal rapist in the first game 

abby going after the man who killed her dad even tho everyone kills someone’s family member every day in this world to survive so why should joel specifically be demonized for that as if abby didn’t kill a single person who wasn’t an orphan and an only child

the guitar minigame was cool but like. i wanna know how much time they spent developing that bc it was not very necessary

obviously all the lying in the trailers

and like. a lot of other things i will probs remember and add to this list in the morning. anyway if i play this game again it will just be for abby’s seattle parts which are in no way related to or about the first game or first half of the second game in any way shape or form. OKAY NOW I’M DONE I PROMISE

#whew what a doozy #also these are all my own opinions so no one come into my asks or dms telling me i'm wrong or something alright... #tlou2 spoilers #mutuals can come into my dms though and tell me their thoughts #long post
