Did you play it? If so, fair enough, but if not you’re missing out in my opinion. When it was announced i never believed i’d ever question whether a sequel could top the story told by the original, how could it? Playing through it a second time i do have that question now, it’s that good.
I had, I had a hard time with the conveniences in many of the cutscenes. The major problem for the story is that it really only works if you sympathize with Abby, if you don’t, then the ending just doesn’t… work.
If you spent 16 hours of gameplay with Abby and her story and her relationship with Lev and Owen and the rest of her friends and all you came away with is that she’s “the funny muscle lady”, then ya you did miss out on this game.
That’s nice and all, hey, do you remember that time that when Ellie pleaded with Abby not to kill Dina because she’s pregnant and then Abby responded with “good”?
Ya it was an intense scene! Why do you think Abby had that response? Because she’s a purely evil twisted character? or maybe because she was in a fit of rage after

learning that Ellie had killed her pregnant friend Mel?
Are Ellie’s actions justified and Abby’s not? Why? I wasn’t trying to be mean by saying you missed out on this game, if you think Ellie’s actions are righteous and Abby’s are evil, you missed what the game was trying to tell you.

Ellie didn’t know Mel was pregnant. Abby knew.
It’s been a bit, but I thought there was a scene right after Ellie kills Mel where she does realize that Mel is pregnant.
Ellie doesn’t say anything, but Mel’s jacket slips to the side and reveals her pregnant belly and Ellie reacts to that.
It’s been a while so I could be forgetting.
I believe she started hyperventilating just from the realization, if memory serves me correctly.
