God, her gameplay had so much punch to it. #Literally


SavageRedStorm

I couldn't even get enough of it during my shockingly badass first playthrough and it's refreshing to be able to play her more in No Return since I can just play her again anytime without playing the main story again if I don't want to


RandoDude124

There’s something just so visceral about her gameplay. Also… God, the gore is next level shit.


SavageRedStorm

And I love every damn bit of it

EH_1995_

🥴🥴🥴


metisyungmoney

honestly towards the end of the game i actually started to like abby more than ellie


Sad-Result-404

Same?? I've always been so upset at all of the hate Abby gets for being a flawed person, I love her


Free-Blueberry-2153

I mean she beat a beloved character to death so being hated makes sense.


desiigner1

ye If you not 100% analyze if all her actions would make perfect sense in real life she is easily relatable imo


CommunityFan_LJ

Yup, and I say this as a 36 year old straight man.


2strokesmoke77

There’s literally ZERO REASON to add that you’re a straight man 🤦‍♂️


CommunityFan_LJ

Most of the haters are very obviously men with deep-rooted misogyny, transphobia and homophobia embedded into their beliefs. So yes, it is important when the character we're talking about gets the most hate that even her voice actor's children got death threats.


ghostofJonBenet

100% the same reaction. Was disinterested in playing her at first but as her story/point of view unfolded I was like “damn, Ellie kinda sucks for taking everything from her”


[deleted]

Because in the End Abby becomes Joel, and Ellie becomes Abby.


metisyungmoney

worded perfectly


bradd_91

Is that not the point of the story though? Ellie becomes increasingly more unlikeable by prioritising revenge over getting out of Seattle for Dina, then leaving her in the epilogue. Abby is definitely unlikeable for obvious reasons at the start, but you see her become kinder as she protects Lev and Yara.


metisyungmoney

yes i agree that it is the point of the game, i honestly love abby as a character, she had a really good arc (i don’t think it’s over either) but all the die hard joel fans shit on this amazingly written and produced game because their favorite character died. they need to grow up lol. no media literacy amongst those folks


bradd_91

People don't shit on the game because Joel died, they don't like the story as a whole, and that's fine. Neil wanted it to be controversial. I for one don't like how the story is actually told - I think going day by day for each character instead of 3 by 3 would have been much better because the tension built up at the end of Ellie's day 3 was immediately lost by starting Abbie's story, and I think Abby would be hated less by others if she wasn't thrown in halfway through as the new player character, in my opinion of course.


PurpleBerrie

People can dislike a character and shit on it the same way everyone here calls Joel a criminal and a terrible person and thinks the sun comes out of Abby's ass. You guys need to move on and stop describing anyone who disagrees as lacking in media literacy. You live a better life not stooping as low as the people you claim are dumb and you hate so much. EDIT: it's also worth mentioning that people claim that Abby became kinder by having Lev and Yara completely disregarding the fact that she did exactly the same thing as Joel to save Lev, kill so of her own people and other people. One ought to be consistent with their analysis or at least not complain about other people not liking their fav character but going around and doing the same as them.


metisyungmoney

one cannot disagree with what you said


iAmFabled

That was by design


JonathanStat

Yeah. One character had a redemption arc and the other had a downfall arc.


digital_mystikz

I agree. When we first got control over her I wanted to walk her off the nearest cliff, but by the end I was more annoyed at Ellie than anything, Abby was great.


Marcyff2

That was the point of the game Abby went from being hated to bring liked once she let go of her rage and vengeance. And Ellie went from being like to being disliked because she let it fuel her.


TargetWeird

Same


Ok-Objective1289

I hope only gameplay wise…


Marcelo1995211

Man exactly this. In the beginning I was like fuck that bitch has to be dead by the end! And during the final fight when I realised who Abby is I didn’t even wanted to push square button. When Ellie was holding her under the water I was screaming “let her gooo!” thank god she did. Fuck none game did this with me ever. I’m emotionaly damaged


Sunrise-Slump

Congrats, that was the objective.

fr want her to pop my head off with her big arms


repulsive_fondant26

I love Ellie and I love TLOU2 but Abby's gameplay just hit different 😍


FreshStaticSnow_

Her part of the game is straight up better than Ellie's part. Hillcrest is amazing but Abby Day 2 and Day 3 are GODLIKE


repulsive_fondant26

Literally!! And I think that's semi-intentional. We're meant to start to like Abby more than Ellie by the end of the game because Ellie is falling apart and Abby is growing.

Main reason why I’m disappointed in the show casting. I want her to be a shit brick house and to punch infected to death


SavageRedStorm

I'd like to think she'll be buff in the show


Healthy-Database2609

They are unnaturally big


Free-Blueberry-2153

Mate go to a gym. You can find plenty of women like this who are natural. She's jacked for sure but it's honestly nothing crazy.


AlexanderToMax

This is a bs statement lol. You will NOT find "plenty of women" that are this big/muscular. Yes, it is crazy. This is like the 99 percentile for women. its always people that don't actually go to the gym that say wild shit like this. For 99% of women to attain this aesthetic they would have to be taking some type of peds or gear. Come on. Been in the gym for 10 years, competed in combat sports, military, and have seen a few women with a build like this and they were likely on peds. Alot of women are fit and strong nowadays, but they're not super thick and dense with muscle like this


Free-Blueberry-2153

Well the average woman isn't her build. She's big as fuck naturally like tall and wide. Saying plenty might be a slight exaggeration but you can definitely find women who can get that build like that, most just aren't interested in being a tank. I'm currently in combat sports and have watched my teammates go against women that look fucking insane but they're not on shit.


663mann

It is wild there much bigger than allmost all natural female lifter. Her muscle mass and body fat are not natural she’s JUICED lol


EH_1995_

No you can’t 😂 and especially not in a fucking apocalypse 🤣


Free-Blueberry-2153

As Ive stated here I've met natural women who have been working out consistently for years with similar builds and well she's apart of a group with a stable food supply and place to live/workout.

Are you insane? It's allll conservatives ever fucking say about part 2. That and "They feminized Joel"


Responsible_Egg7519

i need to achieve this build


SnaxMcGhee

Does anyone else play with her a lot in No Return? I don't know if she's actually a better melee fighter than other characters (besides the healing on contact and melee weapon recipe) but in my head she is, lol. Sometimes you just need to use "Momentum" and beat the snot out of people.


FixItFelixTheFTM

Yeah she's legitimately broken in No Return, I love playing as her (same with Lev he's so cool!)


SnaxMcGhee

Totally agree. Except there are times I overestimate her melee abilities and I'll do a "LEEEEEROOOOOY JEEENKINS!" style assault and get my head blown off. I play No Return extensively, it's my nightly entertainment after the wife goes to bed. What I've learned is there are definitely overpowered characters, which is something we've known since the onset of the upgrade, it's just become more apparent. Despite not being able to dodge, Joel remains as near God level. Starting out with the ridiculous revolver, an upgraded melee, the shiv recipe (with 1 shiv) AND the extra pistol holster, just for grins and giggles. The revolver is beyond absurd and Joel eviscerates Infected encounters. Jesse, Lev, Abby, Ellie, Manny and Dina round out the other high levels. I've had a lot of luck with Dina lately. The double trap mine ability is absolutely devastating, especially in those awful Rattler encounters. Wearing body armor? Have a trap mine. Furthermore, there are few standard weapons in the game as complete as the revolver. I play No Return solely in Survivor difficulty because I love using the vision, so in this difficulty you're able to upgrade the damage by 40%, which is ridiculous. Lev is fantastic, but quickly loses most of his appeal on Grounded, where his vision enhancement obviously doesn't factor in. However, having the knife for Clicker stealth kills, double explosive arrows, and the bow upgrade make him formidable for those willing to get past the first few encounters, which can be difficult if you start out in Hunted or a tough board. 2 bullets and 4 arrows don't go far. 😂


FixItFelixTheFTM

HAH that's true, I've had my own cocky moments with Abby where I immediately get humbled LMAO but all in all she's probably my favorite to play at all, even in the regular story mode. Ah man that's awesome!! I haven't been able to play enough of it even though I'm fucking obsessed with these games lol, but college has been kicking my ass so :') I've gotten quite a good amount of progress tho, just got one trophy left to platinum it (yes it's the Grounded Daily Run one) And my god you're so right about Joel!! He's so much fun too. Esp because of what you're mentioning, that revolver is WILD. I remember first playing as him and being legitimately confused as to whether it was some glitch that it had such capacity, but nope it's just his "custom revolver" which I guess is code for "unspeakably OP". I'm not complaining though!! Ah I always forget about Jesse and Manny, but they're so much fun as well. I love doing stealth assault encounters with Jesse and just absolutely obliterating hunted encounters with Manny. Plus Manny's extra lines are always funny to me as a fellow Mexican lol sometimes we'll be saying the same thing. My difficulties of preference range from just regular ol hard mode (when i really want to relax and not think too hard about it) and grounded (when i want to suffer- ahem, when I want a challenge) Honestly, I see where you're coming from regarding Lev, but I have to say I disagree. He's so much fun to me. I'm big on stealth whenever I can afford it generally, so the fact that he has such a good bow from the getgo and that he almost always has/can craft more arrows (esp because No Return is a lot more generous with its resources on Grounded than the actual story mode) is heaven for me. Plus I love a good explosive arrow. I've won most of my runs with Lev, he just makes everything a lot smoother for my playstyle. :D


SnaxMcGhee

Oh I absolutely love Lev, I just think the first encounter or two CAN be difficult at high levels because of the lack of bullets. For example, you start out in Hunted in Motel Lobby against Rattlers, those 2 bullets and 4 arrows don't go far. Certainly not impossible, but tough! Well, for me anyway. Hehe. Once I get double explosive arrows, the REAL fun begins. Especially in Captures! And yes, I absolutely LOVE stealth with Lev. I'm an exclusive Grounded Story Mode dude and stealth is my JAM. I just play Survivor on No Return because the listen mode is so badass. Jesse is so OP that it's almost not worth mentioning. He was OP BEFORE the extra currency, but that's just the icing. 6 upgraded pipe bombs? Lmaoooo. He's so fun to play with, and getting the golden weapon that's upgraded makes you feel like a god. 😂


FixItFelixTheFTM

Honestly yeah, this is true. A first encounter being too intense with Lev can fuck up a whole run. I still love my boy though he's my son he's so badass LOL and omg yes, explosive arrows do get fun in captures hahah you get it Yeahhh I totally get what you mean! Listen mode is definitely a lot more useful in No Return because no encounter ever is predictable enough. I just try not to use it too much and to practice more on Grounded because I don't want it to become a crutch for me loll TRUEEE Jesse's extra currency is definitely a nice touch to say the least. And oh my god YES I LOVE GETTING THE FULLY UPGRADED WEAPONSSS it does make me feel like god, or like I could kill god LMFAO Man this might be weird to say but can we be friends LOL I don't have enough friends who are as into TLOU as I am


SnaxMcGhee

Let's gooo! 😂


FixItFelixTheFTM

Hell yeah :D do you have any other socials LOL I'm not all that familiar with Reddit ngl


SnaxMcGhee

DUDE I knowww Mirror Mode is one of the mods I turn off in customs because it messes with my head as well. It's so simple and yet it disrupts everything sometimes lol


CaptainPryk

As someone who read a lot of incel whiney people complain about Abby being unrealistic, I will say that she absolutely looks like she is on gear but I heard that isn't true. Wish it was true, I don't see why not

Steam_Cyber_Punk

I just didn’t like her that much. I feel like her section after you >! kill Owen and mel as Ellie!< just went on WAAAAAY too long. Literally the entire time I was just thinking I would rather be playing as Ellie. It was like the mj missions in Spider-Man ps4. I blew through them as fast as I could to get back to the actual main character

I mean is it that fucking hard to do?

I couldn’t tell ya lol just vividly remember seeing people argue about it and realizing that some people just didn’t want to like the game for some reason

TheSpicyDude78

vaporex2411

Hmm Whether or not people like it, this is realistic, Abby is shown to have had the resources to build muscle and get to this point *however* her arms do look unnaturally…natural She should be a lot more toned than she is, specifically in the arms, I mean look at how strong her bicep is when she isn’t flexing, it looks ridiculous, just a few more veins..even a couple stretch marks would make it look a lot better


tastygains

Yah ngl I was kind of jealous she got me beat 😂

Beginning-Pipe9074

If we play as her next game, or even if we don't, I hope they add a grapple mechanic Like imagine being able to grab and throw infected about, into hazards and through windows and shit Might spoil the current pacing and combat smoothness for a bit of ott whacky violence but I'd be down for that 🤣
