True enough; just also clashes that she’s so torn up by what she did to Nora after you can kill literally hundreds on the way there. Like, it only really works narratively when you sneak past everyone and only kill infected.
When Abby starts killing WLF on the Scars island, it feels more earned and there isn’t that sense of regret on her part the story is trying to force down my gullet.
Not sure where the story goes from here. I’d guess I’m at the end now considering the cut scene at the end of Ellie day 3. One of them gotta die I guess.

I think the ending "explains" why Ellie goes full gamer but I don't wanna spoil n8.
speaking of, that last guitar segment cutscene is *perfect*. I do like the flashbacks of Ellie & Joel's deteriorating relationship a ton, they are probably the best written as well.

There's a lot of potential in a fleshed out MGS VR mission style encounters mode. throw in some coop and ez money

i see this criticism with other games also, but i think sometimes you should just separate what you do during gameplay from the actual narrative and character motivations.
i get what you mean, though.
I think that's more relevant to games that give you choices. This game obviously doesn't care about that (which if fine, because there is no pretense).
I don't get that hangup. Ellie tortured Nora which is different than taking out soldiers that shoot on sight.

This. I thought they did a pretty good job of amplifying the horror of what Ellie was going through when torturing Nora.
TBF Nora didn't help her situation - mouthing off against a terminator-like Ellie breathing in spores like it shisha.
Finished today. Loved the ending, thought it was perfect. Really feel for Abby and Lev in particular.
Can’t wait already for part 3. Time to replay with slow motion aiming and infinite ammo so I can shotgun every fucker.

glad you enjoyed it.
thoughts on the pacing?
my only real complaint, really. well... that and the forced walking sections.

Said it before, but they should've given me more Abby and Lev and kill Owen much sooner. Uckman starting to need an editor there.

Could have cut a little bit, but I wouldn’t necessarily know where. Felt a bit weird they just threw this random other group at us to fight for the climax - maybe doing some jiggery pokery of the timeline so the climax takes place on the Scars island might have worked, but then I guess you lose Dina and the baby
