Kinda torn between if I liked the game or not. What did you guys think?

I was so consumed by Joel’s killing spree that I shot the nurses in the operating room without thinking about it – they didn’t even pose a threat.

@AStrotz @PlayingUs The writers definitely went with the "there are no good guys or bad guys in this universe" idea. Look at Joel at during the hospital chapter; he almost acted psychopathic near the ending #PlayingWithTheEnd19

"I struggled for a long time with survivin'. And you— No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for."

Ellie's well being gives Joel's life meaning and purpose. I guess you could see this as a selfish decision from Joel. #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

@PlayingUs #PlayingWithTheEnd19 For me it is kind of hard to tell whether Joel's decision was selfish or not. Does Ellie simply suffer from survivor's guilt or is her willingness to die for the greater good actually legitimate?

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

The game ends on a very doubting looking Ellie suggesting that she knows she is being lied to. I think that she knows but also sees that Joel is very attached to her and understands why he lies #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

@Fabio52535381 @PlayingUs it is possible but you need to use smoke bombs @PlayingUs #PlayingWithTheEnd19

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

FEDRA isn't the same as "the military" we encounter during the game, right? Do we even cross paths with FEDRA? #playingwiththeend19 @PlayingUs

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Why did Joel lie to Ellie? He should know by now that she is perceptive and will uncover the truth sooner or later. #PlayingWithTheEnd19

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Luckily they introduced the assault rifle during the endgame. With access to it midgame, the whole game play would have been too much like an action shooter and only contributed to this weird "rambo-superhero" feeling I got while playing #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

NPCs predominantly drop ammo that you use most and not necessarily the type of ammo that they used before you killed them #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

After finishing the game my least favorite part were the stealth mechanics. IMHO in some situations, stealth should have been the only option rather than be able to run in guns blazing – this kind of undermined the survival atmosphere #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Subtle nod towards Dawn of the Dead or mockery of the twilight craze from back in the day? @PlayingUs #PlayingWithTheEnd19

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

@darylrljc @PlayingUs If we look back in history, most self-proclaimed "freedom fighters" resort to unnecessary violence.

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

@a_haefliger @PlayingUs He was trying to win her trust and be friendly with her, he ordered his men to capture her rather than kill her, and since they referred to her as David's "newest pet", it's possible he had other children captured before Ellie - I think it's safe to say he was a pedophile.

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Kinda irritating to see the actors of Joel and Ellie. Anyhow, happy to see Joel will be a part of TLOU 2.

Not sure how credible this source from the "Entertainment Software Association" is. Apparently there are more female gamers than we discussed last week. @PlayingUs #PlayingWithTheEnd19

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Noticed that too. I think now that they finally shared their affection, Ellie doesn't want to grow up anymore and wants to further experience her newly developed emotions. #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

[Luca @LucaPlayingUs]

I have noticed that Elli looks younger again in this chapter. She runs around like a little child and somehow doesn't behave as mature as in the previous chapter. This despite what she had to go through? @PlayingUs #PlayingWithTheEnd19

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Question for the bus depot chapter: did anyone manage to pass the bloaters in the tunnel without killing them or alerting any enemies (don't have enough ammo/resources atm) #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Agree, but they did that to balance the gameplay.

[J. Valentino @TLOUValentino]

Nothing to do with TLOU game but with our discussion from last week. This is how the developers from Hitman 2 try to address topics such as multiculturalism, gender equality (this is shown at every start of the game). #PlayingWithTheEnd19 @PlayingUs
