What the hell. How are they able to do this?

So I think this is the big question, to which I'm sure I'm asking prematurely, but what the hell.

Does this ruin the first game, or at least tarnish your enjoyment of it?

Speaking only for myself, I loved TLoU and view it as one of my Top 10 games ever, but I personally can't see myself playing the game again, knowing where these characters end up. It's a lot like Mass Effect 1, where that game immediately fell out of my Top 5 list, after I completed Mass Effect 3. It just retroactively ruined the whole story for me.

I hope this doesn't happen to FFVIIR, if Nojima and Nomura screws up like this, i'm going to be devastated.

Thankfully, Japanese publishers/devs don't seem to be pandering to this crap quite on the same level....
yet.

Best to de-canonize, so you can keep your treasured memories.

1st game was ruined the moment they started working on sequel. That's a general consensus I think. While I personally think, they ruined 1st game the moment they released a DLC about underage lesbians. Not like I'm against them. But I prefer my hentai without any artificial virtue signaling tywm.

I'm not even a TLOU fan but I enjoy a good trainwreck nontheless. The answer to your question if I was though, would be: Just ignore its existence. That's basically what I do whenever a franchise I enjoy gets awful continuations like the SW sequel trilogy, all the Terminator sequels beyond 2, etc.

It seems like they didn't even try to make Abby a sympathetic character, which is what I thought the whole point was. Like you just play as her and have to go through a bunch of chores and sideplots but none of it reveals anything about Abby other than she's some kind of improbable hard-ass "woman". So what was the point?

Nah, this doesn't ruin the first game for me. I probably can't play it again for some time, because at the moment I simply can't take the IP seriously with all these hilarious meme's and the joke they call writing in part 2. But eventually I'll forget about it and move on.. and I'll be able to play the first game again.
I'll never play part 2, so the story they've written up for it will just simply never exist as canon for me. It's so bad it might as well be fan fiction.

The ending shows she's calmed down. She's weak from being tied up and just wants to leave with Lev. Ellie attacks her anyway.

I mean I basically called it all the way back in 2013. I knew if they were to make a sequel, the best course of action would be to focus entirely on new characters and not Joel and Ellie. Their story was told, it was told well, now leave it alone. But soon as we got that first teaser and saw a grown up Ellie, I was like "Oh no..."

He's streaming the main fight with Ellie with the beer bottles.

Edit: The fight with Abby beating up Ellie and Dina.

I forget if that's the same fight. Or if there's two Abby fights with the beer bottles

One thing that is a love it or hate thing is the game cuts back and forth between scenes and time. Kind of like that Michael Jordan Netflix show going all over the place.

I'm boring. I like my movies, tv shows and games in chronological order.

The story being about Ellie and Joel has nothing to do with the train wreck we seem to be getting. A Joel and Ellie sequel could have been great if Neil's ego was not through the roof

Despite the good reviews, there’s no way the leaks haven’t damaged day one sales right? Like I think it’s going to sell well, but surely all the negativity had to put a damper on things right?
