- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It's not about the writing and never has been. The Last of Us Part II was perfectly coherent and thematically true to itself. The "controversay" around this game has always been drummed up because of the misogyny of gamer bros.
No it's because the quality of the story drops dramatically at the end
Nope, the ending makes perfect sense and is foreshadowed from the beginning. The entire game is themed around the cycle of violence and revenge and how it prevents both sides from actually living, those themes are reinforced throughout the story.
The issue was Abby was built and gamer bros couldn't handle it.
I don't care about abby and her physical appearance, my issue was purely the santa Barbara section. Had the game ended before that started it would have been fine. By then ellie was fine leaving abby alive as killing abbys friends had not helped her process the death of Joel. They just extended the story for no reason and it made it worse
The ending doesn't make sense at all but ok. You do you.
Why does it not make sense?
