They are moralising, preachy, finger-wagging bores, telling a story to children about doing the right thing and overcoming your darkness. But that is not the path naughty dog is on.
Become a monster and live a happy live as one. Which is frustrating because of the potential that was there. Ellie was temted by the devil but overcome that temptation in the end. Joels humanity was questioned with him freely admiting that he was a hunter at one point and was forsaking all of humanity out of selfish protectivness. Ellies characters is protected in a way that Joels never was. She defends herself and accidentally kills Abbys friends including a pragnent woman -oh no, the horror (even though you killed countless women who might have been pragnent). Ellie comes to the aquarium and imediately loses the role of agressor. Also, that somebody would have died anyways. But you are killing yourselve a path through have a city to than be shaken to the core because your beat up somebody with a metal pipe in a cutscene. And for a time I thought we are going to cross those lines with Ellie as well. That is way Joel was so interesting, because he had so few moral lines to cross. Bravo.Īlso: The more a protagonist is flawed, the more he becomes interesting. This game treated its audience like children.Īnd like children we learn at the end: Ellie was pissed and then she overcame it. To spend 10 hours hammering home that Abby is a human with reasons and a story seems to soley exist for people with a complete lack of empathy and understanding. And any player who played part 1 knows very well that Joel did many f*ed up things and had it coming. Which is completely unnecessary from the protagonists and players point of view: Ellie never learnt Abbys specific reasons for killing Joel and probably would not care anyways. I saw the very unique faces of the "bad guys" in the snowy cabin and new imediately that we were going to spend a lot of time with them, learning their side of the story. The game felt way too long for the very basic story they were trying to tell.
