Look, none of these comments are from fans, these are from sick demented people. This is console wars through and through. Threatening people's lives because "they don't like a story in a game?" Don't be fooled by this BS. Look at that first page, you have posters like Stuart360 saying 'You reap what you sow", and of course look at the posters supporting such re-actions, the same guys who have been trolling TLOU 2 threads everywhere and of course the same guys who want the next gen thread closed.....I mean this is just console wars and it's much too transparent.
So what exactly are people upset about here?
Ellie is a Lesbian? She was since part 1, where was the hate then? I guess again, the minority directed their attention to the easiest target, the framerate on PS3, whilst millions enjoyed the game and called it their GOTG. Some came in for quips about ladders, whilst many enjoyed the excellent multiplayer for years ongoing.....
Abby is buff?
I guess a tough muscly girl is something no one has seen in this world with almost 8 billion people. We have never seen the women in gladiator, in weight lifting, MMA or body building competitions. Perhaps Abby loved her dad so much, she felt she needed to bulk up not only to survive the Zombie Horde but to survive enough to take her revenge on those who did him in....It's a sick cycle isn't it, that what goes around comes around...? Why are people so wrapped up in a Kumbaya Sunday Service hypocritical stance. Do you think if the world goes to shit and it becomes dog eat dog, that the reality of existence will be one of a Utopian feel good, taste me the rainbows, let's pass this joint affair?
Have people never watched The Walking Dead? Or even The Road. Mentally, physically such a world or how it's portrayed will be exhausting on all fronts, rash decisions made, survival and revenge would be the order consistently displayed.....I think LOU2's story is consistent with the World Ellie and Joel is in. They did some things, some things did them. The outlook of that world was always grim, it's impossible and naïve for people to have anticipated that one old man and a young girl could have taken on all militia, zombies and enemies they made along the way forever. Whoever wants to write that story can go right ahead and write this fairy tale for a good hearty feeling, but it's not reality in the grim world ND has constructed here. Those who don't like the story are free to go make that game where the protagonists just go on forever or one where there is restoration and peace, or one where all girls like the D or all bad ass girls that fight loads of zombies and take names look like Eva Mendes in Sin City, but it's not one ND has to tell or a narrative anyone can force them to tell. They will tell their story or one consistent with what they want to say. It's their show, if you don't like it move on like an adult and go do yours......Or punish them by not buying part 3, Or better yet, ask for a refund if you still can. Death threats and people trying to de-sensitize people to death threats, by saying it's no biggie, it's an internet thing is ludicrous in every sense of the word.
The minority are trying too hard and it reeks of desperation stemming from Jealousy of mounting success. My take on the story is I think LOU2 opens up a very powerful message of how things can get seedy protecting those you love, especially in such a world and events. Your love towards another is not the only love that exists, so based on what you do, there are repercussions. To every action, there is a reaction, but even in LOU2's story, the hate cycle has to be broken, the common enemy are the zombies, but humans are killing each other more so than zombies, so how can they amass their resources to ever combat the scourge. Forgiveness has to start somewhere in order to make any headway in fighting this plague off, and I think that's what LOU2 was. It opened up the franchise more than any Kumbaya White Knight Story, "we survived again, fluff piece" would have ever done....
