Basically, all the men die, woman live on! I never really cared because Ellie was and always has been the best character in the game (apart from Joel). Yes.Abby may not be a transgender woman, but my goodness, she got dem guns. It was clearly just for shock value, and the characters in the game clearly didn't care either. I truly didn't think much of them at all, when Jesse died to a bullet to the face, I kind of just sat there and looked at him and shrugged it off. For the matter a fact, Jesse and Dina were alright characters. In fact, I was super happy when Manny got shot in the face. I didn't care one bit about any of Abby's friends. Even by the last fight between Ellie and Abby, I was filled with rage and wanted Abby dead so badly.

I can say that after playing 10 hours with Abby with a storyline that hardly connected with Ellie's, I still felt nothing for her character. It is these subtle things that make me so frustrated with the game because these devices or elements that are used to get the audience to sympathise with Abby are poorly integrated within the game. They tried manipulating the audience by using the whole animal trope where Ellie is bad for killing dogs, Abby is good for saving a zebra and is friendly with dogs. It was very obvious what the game developers were trying to do. But it was done in a way that was so lazy and poorly written. A lot of us understood the motive that was presented here for Ellie, and yes.it did make us angry and we too wanted revenge just like Ellie. Nor was his death memorable or meaningful whatsoever. His character is not the same character we grew to love. His death by the end of the game nearly meant nothing. We are not upset that Joel s how he died. This is where people misunderstand the majority of why fans hate this. You see Joel die in the most brutally and heart-wrenching way possible during the first act of the game (2 hours in). He then introduces himself, eventually getting killed. He casually just walks into a room filled with people that are armed and unknown. However, this trait is no longer seen in the second game. When I mean clearly, they literally show Joel being ruthless to a group of bandits that were pretending to be injured, knowing this, Joel goes straight through like a badass. Joel and Tommy are known to be survivors and it is clearly demonstrated in the first game. Now the first issue I have here is continuity with character personalities (Characteristics/traits). They save you on multiple occasions and eventually you bring them back to your little hide out. You are then saved by the beloved characters, Joel and Tommy. You play as a character named Abby who is running away from a horde of zombies. I went into the game with an open-mind and having ignored all the leaks and spoilers, I had no idea what I was walking into. I mean, after all, its a game I have waited for for 7 years. Now, I told myself that, I am bound to be disappointed in some factors of the game.
