joel has the idiots guide to space on his bedside table and I burst into tears again
will I ever be able to play the start of this game without crying?
they meet you at your window every night for summer adventures
staying up, sneaking out, that immortal feeling of things never changing and good things never going, skateboarding on empty roads, lying on the ground, streetlights bleeding, eyes drooping, hand in hand
saw a couple of people missed this final detail in the last episode of Dark – Bernd Doppler is Regina’s father

i think that even if you completely “understand” a piece of media (whatever that means), like the themes and the character arcs, you’re still justified in saying you didn’t like it
there are lots of different reasons why I didn’t enjoy TLOU II that go beyond my perceived understanding of the game and Ellie and Abby’s journeys
does the bleakness I personally felt on completion have a place in my life right now? No. Perhaps maybe it’s just come at the wrong time in my life
what I took out of the first game was hope and the idea that if we endure through bad times we get to have that final peace. (Even if like Joel he did terrible things and that it is inevitable and justifiable that he faces consequences for)
Is that realistic that we all get a happy ending? No. I understand that life is not like that, i live it. I understand absolutely why they chose to go down the path they did with TLOUII. But games like the original allow me to have that hope for my own life and that is what I personally need from my media, even if I understand the thought/ “the point of” a more “realistic” and bleak ending
the second game (specifically the last two hours that I have a problem with) just didn’t resonate with me even though I understand the arc of the story and thematic importance
I had massive empathy for Abby and loved her as a character but that doesn’t take away from the fact that I simply just did not enjoy the overall experience of the game, which I found unrelenting
Would I have preferred a different final act (after really liking the first two), yes. Do I understand why people really enjoyed it? Yes, I liked many aspects of it. It’s just not for me. And that’s okay.
And as a side note, someone else’s opinion (especially if it’s negative) doesn’t take away from the experience and enjoyment you had. We’re all different people, we all resonate with different things. Allow it.
