TLOU 2 has over 80k user reviews.

GTA V across 5 different versions has around 20k.
Did it sell 4 times more than GTAV?  8)

It's funny, already I've seen some clueless gamers on Facebook calling it a flop and when asked why they refer to the meta user score...

Just finishes the game. The credits are still rolling. I need time to think.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I think it&#39;s important to have Abby&#39;s and Ellie&#39;s story together. &nbsp;But I almost kind of feel like it could have worked as two games. <br><br>Except:<br>Abby&#39;s storyline is important to put Ellie&#39;s story into context. &nbsp;Not just the motivations of the villian, but the consequences of Ellie&#39;s actions. &nbsp;<br><br>It also is important to give Ellie&#39;s story a motivation. &nbsp;<br><br>If you only played Ellie&#39;s story, the similarities and the consequences wouldn&#39;t quite hit. &nbsp;<br><br>If you only played Abby&#39;s story, it might work better, but it still has problems. &nbsp;And no one would want to play it for sure. &nbsp;<br><br><br>This is ultimately Ellie&#39;s story, but Abby&#39;s story is what makes her story possible. &nbsp;<br><br><br>I don&#39;t think the game would benefit getting split up, but maybe shortened still. Make Abby&#39;s day 1 shorter or something, or fit the story into two days. &nbsp;<br><br>Abby&#39;s latter story is so awesome, but the game&#39;s overall pacing hurts from the length. &nbsp;<br><br>Although I bet the pacing is better the second time around because you aren&#39;t expecting a 40 minute story anymore. <br>

[<br>Could have done more to make players expect abby.<br><br>I think as you said, it feels like two games from that point of view.<br><br>I love it now, but in the moment it didn&#39;t feel right. Can&#39;t think of a good way to improve it, beyond maybe moving the zoo flashback.<br><br>/spoiler]<br>

Platinum get! Hell yeah, feels good to finally get a Naughty Dog plat, even though it was way easier than the rest.

Roughly 2 hours left. Think it took me about 1h 30 from there.

Really good podcast talking about everything.

So i feel like I need to play the game again. Maybe all the intent leaks and hate ruined it for me. It was everywhere and unavoidable.

I would have liked to see the ending change slightly.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Instead of Abby biting of Ellies fingers it should have been the clicker in the tree.<br>They should have skipped the threat on levs life. Instead I think Ellie should have Beat on Abby and drowned her while abby refused to fighter her. &nbsp;And in that moment Ellie would realizes her death would not bring fulfillment for Joels death.


i think it would have made more sense to me.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>The fingers are supposed to be poetic with her losing the ability to play guitar, but yeah they didn&#39;t resonate with me. I would have just removed that element completely. Or made it a bigger issue like mangling her hand.<br>
