I also don't understand how you can just generalize me not liking TLOU2 because of one thing.Point of the show is to grow the franchise and show it to audiences that will never pick up a controller in their life.
I truly don’t understand how a simple character Death can cause you to lose interest entirely in a series, and a studio as a whole. It makes no sense at all to me and is kind of childish.
I thought the people who stopped watching The Walking Dead because Glenn died were weird as well.
When my fav character dies in a fictional piece I don’t suddenly hate the goddamn existence of the show and the studio that makes it. That is weird.
Different strokes I suppose.
The writing in general for that game was just garbage and basically shat all over the first game. Ellie went from the most likable character to being an absolute jerk, Joel is oblivious and an idiot (how he gets killed is incredibly out of character), and the whole cycle of revenge thing is so tired and overdone. It just basically felt like Druckmann had complete creative freedom because he successfully forced all the people that kept him on a leash out of the company (his original ideas for TLOU1 were fucking terrible), and as a result you get "subverting expectations: the game", but not once is it ever actually written well.
It's insulting because I genuinely love the first game. It was amazing when it came out.
