I honestly think you're pretending to not know about part 2 just to trigger people (which I respect and even admire tbh), but regardless, no, he dies after a random girl he just saved from a snowstorm asks if he is Joel miller and Joel basically doxxes himself, then the girl gets mad because he killed her father and then she beats him up with a golf club for like an hour, then Ellie finds him and sees him get beat up to dead
No not really lol. I am generally just not that interested in movie-like games.
I know that there was some sort of big controversy about the second part. Hard to miss that back in the days. However I thought it was some woke vs anti-woke bullshit.
To kill off the main character in the first hour however is a bold move. And now the controversy makes a lot more sense to me.
As I said. Game of thrones did something like that with Eddard Stark. But they had like a bazillion other characters left alive. If you have only two main characters and the whole story revolves around those two it's a different thing.
The woke anti woke shit happened because Ellie is a lesbian and her girlfriend is Jewish. Also the girl that killed Joel, Abby, is on roids and her storyline is about her protecting a trans child from essentially a tribe of transphobes that want the child to be their spiritual leader or some shit like that I honestly don't remember.
The game goes pretty hard on inclusion and many players felt that the story sucked because of it, but honestly it would have sucked even if every character was a straight white male.
Wow I'm surprised you got upvoted, this sub sucks. I'm all for inclusivity, everyone should be, but I agree that often it makes stories feel forced. TloU2 felt like one of the only storylines where the inclusivity didn't feel forced at all.
This is my first time hearing Dina is Jewish. Is that because the actor is Jewish or did they mention that in the game somewhere?

Oh well that sucks majorly. I hope it's embedded at least in a good narrative. But I'd probably stop playing at that point.
