Ok, how long do I need to {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}play as Abby for? From after she shoots Jesse?
I don't give a rats ass about Abby and if I'm playing as her for a while, I know this bit is gonna drag.
Like if they're gonna make us play as one of the asshole WLF, couldn't it be Owen who did at least seem like a semi-decent dude? {Spoiler}You play as Abby for pretty much exactly as long as you played Ellie. In my case it was about 15 hours apiece.

Hope her story is good, to make up for being stuck with a character I don't care about at all.
And, so far, none of the side characters do anything for me. Except for the dog.

I wanna see how it ends and the world is interesting enough so I can {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}hopefully get past playing as a character who I don't care about.
Seriously... why did they think this was a good idea? It's like when MGS made you play as that silver haired gimp for a game instead of Snake.
Maybe I'm bitching early and she'll become likeable.
I guess learning about the Scars and WLF will be interesting.

Yep. I hated it at first. Couldn’t believe I was allowing myself to keep going.
But it all made sense and came together.

Yeah, I was in the same boat. Probably the first time during my playthrough that when I stopped for the night, I didn't have that feeling of "oh my god, I can't wait to see what happens next" and had more of a feeling of "well, I guess I'll muster through it to see what happens".
But yeah, if you can power through it (especially the end of the first day...that was...not a well written scene), then all I'll just say is how you'll be rewarded with some of the best parts of the game.

I completed it today. Very good game, but could have been better. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}The Abby section I did end up enjoying but, this should have been the first bit of the game.
Let us play as Abby before we have a reason to completely hate her. Then, there's added mystery--- what happened with Joel, why is Tommy sniping everyone, who broke into the aquarium and shot Alice, holy shit it's Ellie why is she here?
It would have been so much better imo.
I liked the wider maps and semi-open world aspects to a degree, but they also killed the pacing--Oh, we've gotta rush on and help Tommy... let me spend half an hour looting all these houses first.
The story was good. I actually enjoyed the flashback scenes the most, like the trip to the museum--they were amazing. So well done.
Some really amazing parts---the battle with the giant infected in the hospital was awesome.
I loved how the humans reacted, calling out when their friends were killed and getting angry. I also felt sad at how the dogs reacted when I killed their owner.
I would have liked to have seen more of the Rattlers. They were more interesting than the Wolves with how evil they were.
I wasn't a huge fan of the Scars. They felt a bit too cliched and goofy. The whistling was quite chilling at times, but the group themselves didn't interest me much.
Didn't Tommy get shot in the face? Like how the f*** did he survive.

I'm gonna add something to my thoughts.
The characters f***ing sucked. I didn't care for any of them. Except the dog.
Abby sucked, but not as bad expected Dina annoying Jesse boring Yara boring Lev - plus for putting a trans character in, it felt different. But he was an idiot. Manny - a shit stereotype.
The gameplay, world, map design and enrmies made this.

I just finished it and I have the same hollow feeling I did walking out of The Last Jedi. I need to process this.

A new patch for the game has been released, adding a new DLC Trophy pack called Grounded Mode. It's only two trophies but it's for beating the game on Grounded AND beating the game on PERMADEATH MODE. Because if this game couldn't piss us off any more.

I’m going to replay it, immediately throw Abby off a cliff and pretend the rest of the game never even happened.

Outbreak Day The Last of Us Day happens this Saturday and Naughty Dog says that a few announcements might be happening.
My guess is that were getting the Factions II multiplayer mode which will launch with the PS5 upgrade (obviously both will be free).

A board game sounds interesting.
