Especially after TLOU2…
shudders
It sold 10,000,000 copies. It was the best selling first-party PS4 exclusive released.
I know the loud internet people were upset about Girls With Muscles or whatever, but it did fantastic with normal people.
(And will sell millions more when finally available on something besides PlayStation.)
It's the last game I keep my PS4 for. Once it's available on PC, I'll be selling it.
Ok.
My biggest problem is that story doesn’t work if you do not sympathize with the funny muscle lady because the ending would be horrendous if you hate her, like I do.
Did you play it? If so, fair enough, but if not you're missing out in my opinion. When it was announced i never believed i'd ever question whether a sequel could top the story told by the original, how could it? Playing through it a second time i do have that question now, it's that good.
I had, I had a hard time with the conveniences in many of the cutscenes. The major problem for the story is that it really only works if you sympathize with Abby, if you don’t, then the ending just doesn’t… work.
If you spent 16 hours of gameplay with Abby and her story and her relationship with Lev and Owen and the rest of her friends and all you came away with is that she's "the funny muscle lady", then ya you did miss out on this game.
That’s nice and all, hey, do you remember that time that when Ellie pleaded with Abby not to kill Dina because she’s pregnant and then Abby responded with “good”?
Ya it was an intense scene! Why do you think Abby had that response? Because she's a purely evil twisted character? or maybe because she was in a fit of rage after

learning that Ellie had killed her pregnant friend Mel?Ellie didn’t know Mel was pregnant. Abby knew.
It’s been a bit, but I thought there was a scene right after Ellie kills Mel where she does realize that Mel is pregnant.
Ellie doesn’t say anything, but Mel’s jacket slips to the side and reveals her pregnant belly and Ellie reacts to that.
It’s been a while so I could be forgetting.
I believe she started hyperventilating just from the realization, if memory serves me correctly.
