Wouldn't be surprised if something like this was a first draft, but then quickly scrapped because Ellie getting captured would have made it "sexist" no matter how natural it would have felt in context.

Thats the most obvious path they could've taken and its still better than what they came up with

okay, but how do we cut all that out, remove the zombies, add a lesbian gangbang, and blame the players for not liking it?

Exactly, the story didn't have to be anything "groundbreaking".
TLOU1 wasn't either.
They would've been far better off just keeping the story focused on Joel and Ellie's relationship without shoe-horning a bunch of "OH WAIT- little did you know THIS bitch was related to some enemies from the first game!" crap in there.
Literally a cop-out basing itself on circumstances that don't apply

If they really wanted to subvert our expectations they would have made a good game

I love the idea that Ellie getting her arm broken and getting her face bashed in was the better alternative.

Because a woman did it, of course. Aren't double standards awesome?

Identity politics have ruined everything, and writing a story using them as a guideline is the biggest mistake you can make. I hope this shit gets lambasted hard, but I'm expecting the usual suspects to suck its dick and call it the best written game ever.

ironically the most obvious ideas are usually the best ones

A man beat up Ellie tho

It's low hanging fruit, but I still can't help but chuckle at it.

I honestly hope resetera latches onto the unintentional implications of a very masculine woman beating up a relatively normal young lady. I want these people to eat each other.

This was exactly how I thought it was going to play out since they loved to tout Ellie's gay relationship and "something bad happening that makes her seek revenge" in interviews. The worst part about this entire shitshow is that they think their basic message of "revenge is bad" is so profound that its worth all their edgy and miserable writing when they could have done this basic story instead. Having a simple or predictable story isn't a bad thing, so long as it's told well. I'm so tired of these video game writers thinking their avant-garde artists.

Yeah that's not going to happen ever again lol

Nah, it should be expected. As brainless as some people are, most of us have an understanding of what makes for a satisfying story.

Because “obviousness” implies a detectable pattern.
Humans are pattern recognition machine. If we see a pattern, it clicks in our brain and we start making sense of it. What is obvious to you is just you knowing and immediately identifying a pattern.
Things that aren’t obvious require additional explanation or it needs to pivot in order to make sense. This does not jive well with our senses and our desire to understand and recognize patterns. Simply put, if I’m missing a piece of the puzzle, I can’t complete it. A good story, a good idea, are often simple and “obvious” because it’s easy for you to get on board and understand it because it’s a common problem that you might have even encountered in real life, hence you picked up the pattern and it’s now making sense to you when you see it. See tropes like hero rescuing the princess (male performance), or hero’s journey for character development

I'd rather the story be good and predictable rather than SHIT and unpredictable to the point where they just retcon shit and add a random character who just needs "MUH REVENGE!!!!"
Seriously, the fact that these retards expect people to sympathize with the tranny when her/his main goal is to kill the MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS. Shittiest route they could've taken.

I want to imagine that at least Joel doesn't die right away and tells her the truth before he does, or perhaps tells her sometime before being beaten death, we don't know the entire plot yet.

Why are incels so dumb and lacking in self awareness?

>lacking in self awareness
but OP's is the most realistic

Fuck off mongoloid
You'd really be that surprised over the 50-60 something MAIN CHARACTER being wiser than the impulsive angry lesbian 19 year old?

There's no irony about it. The idea that you *need* wacky twists and subversion of expectations is poison. Don't reinvent the wheel, especially if it ends up worse than the original

Someone please tweet this to Druckmann.

>NOOOO but you people are just so mad that Joel died!!!!
>NOO it doesn't matter how he died, just that you are all mad over it!!!

It's because you don't have to reinvent the wheel

joel would never come clean though.

He would if it meant saving Ellie, which was the whole point of the theory in OP
