Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.


My son and I have spent hours discussing how the series should end, assuming they make a third one. He thought Ellie should finally give her life to make a cure and have the world start to rebuild. I strongly disagree with that. I think they should realize that they can't make a vaccine from Ellie, which makes Joel's decision at the end of part one to be the correct one and makes him a hero. It's not like these games are known for having happy endings, so it would seem out of place for a cure to be available.

Or...they could never answer the question and just leave it up to the player to decide whether or not Joel did the right thing. For the record, I think he did.

They did get interesting. I am up to the section where Abby has to go back to the aquarium area to find her ex bf.


[spoiler]Abby having to use a dog on patrol. Leave the good boys out of your territorial spat with the cultists. The game has made it impossible for me to like her. Hates dogs, possibly Zebras (she did not dad to waste time looking after it), her dad was a monster, a terrible taste in men and she killed one of the few redeeming characters in the game, Jessie. Plus she joined the WLF which may have started with good intentions, but based on some of the notes you read was just as bad as the rest of the factions.

While they tried to frame it that the cure was a given, there is no way to know that until Ellie (a child that had to be killed) and it was actually tested on people. Plus if the fireflies were to somehow make a cure, then they gain the power they have been seeking throughout what I can recall from the original. The Fireflies were not all rainbows and sunshine.


TLDR; They are all monsters. Except Jessie and the dogs.

This deal is still active. I'll probably get another month so I can continue playing Madden and try FC 25 when it comes out on Friday.

Yup, Day 3 Seattle. More dogs to deal with. I go really slow with these games, trying to find all the collectable stuff like the notes and comic cards, because I rarely play through games like this a second time no matter how much I love it. If a game has alternate endings I just youtube them.

They do a good job of keeping your resources fairly low by limiting how many you can have at one time. I don't think I have used the smoke bomb once. Occasionally use shrapnel bomb on non humans. Mostly use the Molotov. Bow is my fav weapon but use guns more due to never having enough tape. This game needs more tape like Don't Fear the Reaper needs more Cowbell.

Story has been great, though I tend to play as Ellie through the eyes of Joel. More as a father figure. So all the romance stuff makes me uncomfortable too. Which I have to credit the writers for, as I rarely care about a character enough to feel this way. I doubt the game will ever pull me against Joel because if such a thing happened in real life, with today's society as fractured as it is, we would make most of these characters look like angels in comparison.

The entire PS5 UI is far worse than the Xbox's. I'm still annoyed about them reversing the functions of the long and short presses on the PS button. I don't know if anybody uses them, but the activity cards seems to be a huge waste of space to me too.

A second controller and charging station are almost a requirement for all PS5 owners. I know the Dual Sense has more features than the Xbox controller, but I can literally go weeks without the need to charge my Xbox controller while not being able to go more than 2 days without charging my Dual Sense.

Two things that are a bit annoying right now with the PS5.

The store seems needlessly complex. You have a pre order section that lists a small section of games. There is no true coming soon section. If you scroll down to the one area where you can select PS5 games you get a mixture of games that are out and just announced games. Also would it be that hard to put on the box covers that a game is VR only. Just slap it right at the bottom where it shows if it is a PS4/PS5 game.

Second, if you are going to raise the prices of the controller $5, how about raise the battery life while you are at it.

I hate killing any type of animal in games. It's one of the things I disliked in the Tomb Raider series.

I'm guessing you're on Seattle day 2 or 3. Just wait, you'll be more pissed off.
