More and more we are proven PS3 Vanilla TLoU is where the franchise peaked and it has been downhill ever since...coincidentally it kept losing more quality the more Druckmann got directly involved.
I thought that was a piece of shit, until I got a bit into it and I think it may be one of the most fun open world zombie games ever made. And it's a crime it didn't get a followup.
I played it and couldnt get into it but I suppose I was really sick with zombies and open worlds at the time (to be honest, I still am) but I can see why people like it and why it deserves a sequel more than TLoU.
The show was actually better than the (terrible) game for once. At least Joel didn't idiotically tell a bunch of strangers his name.
The scene is handled both """better""" and worse than the original
They at least make sure to confirm that this Joel is THE Joel they are after and not just some Jackson random that happened to share the same name. In the game, its just handwaved as comical luck on Abby's side.
The scene is far less brutal in the show, which is weird because this is HBO and you'd think if there is a place where they wouldnt hold back on the violence, it would be the one that had GOT. Dina is drugged instead of Tommy getting beaten into being knocked out and the image of this petite lady beating Joel with the golf club was comical (at least Abby Armstrong's brutal beating felt realistic, not Abby herself mind you), getting to the point they had to make her finish him off with a stab because the beatings alone probably didnt feel convincing enough.
Then again, the original scene was awful too so what's the point ?
It was brutal, but well done. It mostly followed the beginning of the second game and changed things to be more effective.
Will people still watch knowing he's dead?
From the looks of it, a good chunk of people are bailing out. Its strange how history is repeating itself with S2.
A lot of that being Joel's acceptance of his situation and telling Abby to fuck off and taking the wind out of her sails.
At least Joel decided to not give her the satisfaction of having him beg. He probably could tell this was finally it and he wouldnt play along in the non existent hope that he is gonna get spared or saved last minute.
Jesus Christ this show is awful lol. Throw in a worthless siege scene because this is what retarded redditors love. This makes TWD look Emmy Award winning if those even mean anything anymore. It's bad enough ever seeing niggers on screen, but bald nigger women are the most grotesque.
They hate Synth because he told them the truth.
Phoneposting, but check out how one fan tried to say that TLOUII is better and less pretentious than other we’ll-known games.

How exactly is TLOUII more than that exactly?
