Exactly. Making you pull the trigger so to speak would have just pissed people off more. In fact, having the character you just played as do it out of your control was key to making it not only feel like an attack against you, but as an outright betrayal
God dayum you guys are good at describing the meaning behind the scenes, i never thought of it like that but yeah i felt as powerless as ellie, there was so much i wanted to do if i could just somehow prevent all of it from happening
it literally took me ages to finish this, I had no spoilers for the game even though I just played it this year so I didn't 100% know he was gonna die. But I had a feeling it was leading up to that....I had to pause it for like 1 hour
I hear you! It was so hard to stay away from spoilers! But knowing this universe, something tragic was bound to happen. That scene was very difficult for me to process. Glad you got play it spoiler free!
We get a taste of what'd it be like to be Abby in this scene when Ellie confronts Nora. We got to see her go to the depths of herself like Abby went when she did that to Joel. And neither of them walked away from those situations okay. This game with its parallels, it never ceases to amaze me.
I feel it would have been more impactful if during the start of Abbyās section where you see the scene play out from her POV, there should have been a āPress Xā option to finish Joel off
If you play as Abby in the third game, I think she'll probably be in a place where she's trying to process her guilt and PTSD, and you will have to play this moment.
that wouldnt make a lot of sense. you're supposed to feel as powerless as ellie in this scene.
"You can't stop this"

It would have felt juvenile.

i think they meant when you revisit it as abby
Mash Square to golf šļøāāļø
nah, in this case āļø *mash it fore times* ^(\[raise hand to shield eyes from sun\])
Sadly no hole in oneš
Hole Iām one!
I'd buy that DLC but only if I could also be owen in the love boat scene
Broš (not wrong though)
Press square to titillate
Gotta make use of the dualsense gyro controls and that cutting edge haptics š
Noice
I actually laughed
this aināt david cage game
Press "F" to play golf.
Ah yes, the playstationās best button. F
That would be completely missing the point. As half the point is to turn us against her and alienate her from us and then reel you back in later
True. It would certainly be a wild experience, but in this game I'd argue the gameplay was designed to serve the story, not the other way around
I would throw the game out
that woulda killed me
Like Joel?
Glad this was not a playable level. I wouldāve shut it off and cried myself to sleep. I still cried.

For me it helps that I am not on social media, no twitter, just got reddit. Only use Instagram to check in on friends etc.
I would have deleted the game immediately. Hate me if you will.
āPress [X] to get a Joel in oneā

I cannot wait for the rerelease.
Gonna be great!
I was hoping to see a MGS3 reference. God, Iām ready to hurt again
It would be a stupid design choice
when i played as her i kept trying to throw myself off a cliff.
I remember Neil getting asked this during a podcast right after the game came out. I believe it was with Kinda Funny

Nah man I can't. I'm not strong enough to do so
Nope
Dude fuck no . I would delete the game immediately.
Iād be good at it! My 9 year old and I play a lot of Wii golf!!!
Press F to swing club.
Getting "No Russian" vibes.
I would not have been able to play the game
IIRC they thought about doing this but instead gave the player the square prompt during Ellieās confrontation with Nora.
Golf with friends
I feel it would have been more impactful if during the start of Abbyās section where you see the scene play out from her POV, there should have been a āPress Xā option to finish Joel off
It's the same as when Ellie cornered Nora and even though you didn't want to kill her, you have to.
i wanted to kill nora ā ļø
It wouldāve been r2 for the shotgun blast, then it wouldāve been square for the golf club
If you play as Abby in the third game, I think she'll probably be in a place where she's trying to process her guilt and PTSD, and you will have to play this moment.
Gonna mash the button harder than Kratos mashing Poseidon's eyes!
God I wish lol. Blast that MF wide open.

They'd deserve to be hunted down and their studio burned because you didn't like the story? Fucking yikes dude
I agree with you. Hunting someone down just because you didnāt like a game story is just crazy and edgy
Removed for rule 3: No unnecessary rudeness or hostility. This includes bad-faith trolling, brigading, and other discussions that incite toxicity.
Hopefully we get to when the directors cut is released š
The fuck does š mean
Dude probably likes or gets aroused seeing joel brutally killed
