i know it's a year old but i'll still put spoilers in case. basically spoiling the entirety of both games here lol.
the first game is basically like children of men with a father figure and daughter figure, joel and ellie, that grow really close to one another throughout the game. at the end of the first game he has a choice to let ellie die and have a chance at creating a cure (ellie's the only immune person) for all the zombies, but instead he decides to kill everyone there, including the doctors, and save ellie. joel tells her that there are other immune people and they couldn't make a cure so they're giving up after she wakes up from being prepped for surgery. the first game ends ambiguously not knowing whether ellie realises joel's lying to her about what happened or not.
then after like 7 years of waiting for the game to come out all the gamer manbabies who saw joel as their real dad for the last 7 years went crazy because their "dad" was killed in the first like 2-3 hours of the game by the survivors of the people he killed at the end of the first game. for 7 years they wanted a happy go lucky joel and ellie adventure but in the game their actual relationship for the first 2-3 hours is strained and awkward because of what joel did, and then he's killed ruining any chance at them making up.
i imagine that by itself would've made the people who hated the game still hate it, but what really set the fire was the fact that the person who killed joel was a muscular woman and ellie had a girlfriend called dina. i think the combination of it all is what lead to the huge gamer rage at the game.
oh yeah definitely but i think the combination definitely is what caused the huge outrage. if it was just the current story without the representation it probably would've blown over quick. and if it had the representation without the story it had it probably would've blown over quick too. but with both it spawned the whole yhear long hate campaign and massive review bombing when it first came out, in my opinion at least.
i forgot to mention the leaks as well. i think the leaks that came out like a few months before release probably conrtibuted to the outrage too
i remember at the height of all the hate you could tell at an instant what someone would think about the game depending on what they thought of the first ending. if they thought the ending was tragic and joel betrayed ellie they'd probably like the second game. if they thought joel did the right thing they'd almost unanimously hate the second game lol
What about that game broke motherfuckers' brains so hard? Or harder than other games with gay and trans stuff?
