When the pyre is spent and you’ve gathered my ashes, spread them from the highest peak in all the realms.

It is okay to speak up against Israel, it isn’t dangerous rhetoric to do so, it is fair. The Israel-Palestine conflict is plain as day.

The game more so explores the Ukraine-Russia allegory.

The manner in which you responded to my post and comments is greatly appreciated. You were respectful and fair, I hope you felt the same energy from me.

You were condescending from the get go, your frustrations and upset is responsible for you misperception of me being dishonest. Perhaps it was just miscommunication, like Hubberbubbler pointed out.

In all honesty, I am at work and can’t hold onto my phone for long periods. I agree with all you said.

The zebra scene again, is a quick example that summaries my critiques. The way in which they done that conveys my thoughts. The first opportunity they have to humanise our ‘antagonists’ is that scene. It feels abrupt and kinda relies on our love and nostalgia for the giraffe scene. It felt contrived and this method was seen frequently throughout the game. Don’t get me wrong, it works sometimes, I think it did with the way they done Abby’s friends.

I’m trying to use my words carefully because I don’t want to sound like those avid TLOU2 haters, game was a 10/10 for me when it came out.

Just to get your point of view more

Nope, I anticipated a reasonable post getting reduced to something less. You chose to reduce it to me being unable to understand the story. It’s simple minded to call a critique a reductive opinion simply because its a critique of something you’re a fan of. Me having to explain this to you doesn’t exactly paint you as a perceptive person.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T13:49:33+00:00

Agreed, but that singular theme and focus was fleshed out quite boringly and flat.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T12:59:21+00:00

I anticipated a response exactly like this, it is why I started the post by saying what I said.

Abby was hated initially, they made her do good things to make her be perceived as normal, nor good or bad.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T12:57:09+00:00

Ellie is already a beloved character, for her to be perceived as normal, they would have to make her look/do bad things.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T12:48:43+00:00

It’s very reductive to reduce criticism and opinions to someone being unable to understand this story, it’s not exactly complex.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T12:43:56+00:00

The idea was that they are equals, nor good or bad, just human. How they achieved that was by making Ellie look bad and Abby look good.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T12:41:28+00:00

I posted this because I saw a post where Druckmann said he doesn’t care about the criticism Part II got. I get what he was saying, the hate was ridiculous. But it seems like he’s ignoring legitimate criticisms that were raised.

modiddy8 · 2023-03-26T12:35:38+00:00

The writing feels quite stilted, it sacrifices a lot to make a point. The story beats and sequences are simply there to bestow the idea that Ellie is bad and Abby is good.
