Just finished TLOU2 and um... I need a drink. Wtf.

I'm less bothered by this view than I am with how the game emotionally pits the player against himself to make a point any grown up adult can figure out in 5 mn. How it denies the player's agency at the same time is highly problematic, from a design point of view.
I'm making my peace with the game by thinking that a lot of players didn't understand the point, even after finishing the game. It was obvious for me right from the beginning so I suffered a lot. But many didn't get it at all.

I'm thinking there must be some players who didn't understand it at the beginning but got it at the end, when the violence is becoming too absurd for them to bare. If some were angry at the beginning but compassionate at the end, I guess the game is working.

(But for me personally it was really painful).

It’s really not a new narrative though, and it’s based on the false & harmful stereotype that humans are just trash even at a time when solidarity is key to their survival. In 2020. Come on...

To be fair it was written long ago before 2020 hit and it's a sequen happening in a specific universe where these relationships are the norm BUT they never really build on this commentary anyway - there's no real political discourse about it.
