The building shape was wierd but the fireflies on the radio were legit, why they asked about who was boss

They asked for info, but never provided anything - its definitely possible that the radio call was fake. I was listening for that during the call.

I think it gets very murky when you're talking about the story. The second a publisher starts saying 'the reviewer interpreted this art incorrectly and should change it' we're in very dodgy territory - even if they're technically correct in this instance (the best kind of correct).

It just feels like a line that shouldn't be crossed. If I were a reviewer and someone demanded that I amend my incorrect conclusions about a story I'd be very wary of having anything to do with them in future.

If my review of the first Avengers film says that the heroes dont team up in it because i stopped watching part way through, itd be a lovely review. Even if I put that review out during an embargo itd still be a lovely review becauss it got story beats wrong.

Marlene deciding to shoot joel in the back and it not working would be an absolute contrivance

So I did my best to not start a ton of fights with the WLF and the medical center was still packed full when I swapped to Abby. Does it change if you go completely non-violent? Because I definitely did lure zombies to them whenever I could.

Can you do it often? Because i can only think of the subway bit, the hospital basement and the epilogue, are there other times you can get multi party fights?

Dina does it for sure, i think i've seen it happen at the gas station fight maybe which would mean either mel or manny

I mean... they probably didn't make a 3d rendered art asset then include in the game by falling onto their keyboards

The first trailer had joel edited into scenes that jesse is in later so there were deliberate misconceptions about the plot - it def looked pike dina was gonna bite it early (i was expecting Dina to die until i got back to the title screen at the end of the game)

Theres not that many in the whole game, if you've passed the first one or two dog encounters you're probably past most of them really

Though theres at least one plot mandated kill the dog

The game does also heavily imply that abby wasnt a great person anyway before the game started, we're only seeing the redemption arc and not her pre that arc

This far in I'm struggling to care that Ellie killed any of these people. They all suck except the Scar kids.

I felt the same. I got what the narrative was trying to do but it didnt quite work for me

Letting go of the assumption that the game is just trying to "make you feel bad" about anything you do in it is step one in appreciating it.

I like the game a lot, i just dont feel it quite managed to do what it wanted to do

No one seems to understand that you can just lie to people. Just tell Ellie she's in some horribly overrun zombie area they haven't cleared out.

Shes explicitly going to get owen and mel to answer seperately so she can corroborate their answers - the same as she mentions in the hotel d1 (and joel does in winter TLOU1)
