    It really doesn't. The entire game is based around "whatever happened in the first game, forget about their personalities. This game is 4 years later and they all changed" but then they dont really show us anything about how or why they changed. They did a HUGE disservice to the original characters, and it seems like this game was focused on trying to make us turn on our loyalties to the new characters for Druckmann's self-admitted agenda.

        I'm starting to care less and less as time goes on. I feel I haven't even played as Ellie and I don't care about these people or the super buff chick.

        I feel like this game is two completely different games.

          I've said this before and ill say it again: the game honestly could have ended a good 4-6 different times.

            Some things were a little cringy and I do see some agendas being pushed, but not to the point that I couldn't get through it. I originally said I wasn't going to play the full game once I saw the spoilers, but it's a good game.

            I see what you're saying about it being based around the first game, but it's a story about revenge...that's what they came up with [emoji2377].

              I watched a video today about how Sony/Naughty Dog lied and mislead about certain things in what they showed in trailers and articles/quotes they said. It’s interesting for sure.

                It's funny, apparently this happens a lot now and people get upset over it (I guess it also happened for The Rise of Skywalker?). Personally, I'd be happy to be subverted or not truly know what something is about, otherwise I would've felt they spoiled everything.

                That being said, I've avoided all commercials and trailers to not know anything, so I can't possibly be disappointed on that front. Whatever will happen, will happen. No expectations whatsoever.

                  The duck and dodge during pre-release isn't new, hell, Metal Gear Solid 2 did it almost two decades ago when you only played as Snake for an hour...yet that was all you saw in every preview. It's just so much more visible and widely spread now compared to screenshots in EGM and a single E3 trailer.

                    welp..I beat it...didn't love it, but didn't hate it (but more on the hate it side if I had to pick).


                    Not really a spoiler but I'll put it in tags anyways.

                      This is random, but whenever I play a game that has strategy components, I sometimes sit there impressed with myself if I'm able to achieve the puzzle, thinking I'm one of only a few people that was able to accomplish such a feat... until you realize that anyone who's beat the game or is at the same place you're at has done the same stuff, haha.

                      Of course, they could be looking at a strategy guide, YouTube video, have hints on, or are playing on an easier difficulty, but I always have to have reality checks with myself when I think I accomplish something seemingly extraordinary in a game that everybody has done what you've done. Then you realize you're just a nerd in your bedroom playing with your thumbs.

                        I'm guessing this one is about the same 25-30 hours as the first one.

                        1st game wasn’t that long. On average it took 14 and a half hours to beat according to how long to beat website. Which sounds about right based off how long it took me to beat the game.

                              Ah yeah I was going off of how long it took me. I'm slow playing games like this though, so I guess those ranges make more sense

                                Okay, really cool thing they added to this game! Not really a spoiler (at least not for story), just an object-based thing that you might want not to know about. All told, I think it's only a bonus-based thing and not required for you to complete the game or anything (I'm still not far at all).

                                Spoiler

                                I haven't checked and won't check till after I finish the game, but there might be popular variants of this on YouTube even. I'm definitely curious about that.
