Defense... 😞😞😞

^^ So good. Seems like a perfect evolution to the first game's main theme.

Very ACII'ish.

Several of them. Which is why they pacing in the second part is amazing. Intense sections end at just the right time and the lighter moments kick in.

Of course the first game had stalkers. I clearly remember one part with them. Darker than usual rooms and Stalkers ready to attack. It was crazy. I forget which area of the game that is in. But that's the thing, I don't remember about Stalkers apart from that section. That's how limited they were in the first game. In the second game, however, oh man... They're a different thing altogether.

I died several times in that area. Didn't even realise there are stalkers there for a few tries. Worst part is they don't come out in the open even when you throw a brick or whatever. Slightly frustrating, but that little part made me appreciate the mechanics of the game even more, because even in broad daylight, they were able to hide so well and you as Ellie have to use your wits to get an upper-hand against them (unless you're playing with the John Wick style). Edit: BTW, the difficulty and AI of the stalkers in the game throughout are dialled-up all the way to 11. Man!

The black-on-white text... Do. Not. Want. Stupid Sony.

Because that's the extent to which he is ready to go to, to ensure that they are together. It's him being selfish. He is even ready to lie to her.

Almost all sections which had Yara, Lev, and Abby were awesome and intense. On a different note, I'm listening to the The Official Last Of Us Podcast. Just got done with all episodes about the first game and there's some interesting insights from the creators (Druckmann, Gustavo, some animators, etc. and actors of the game). This week was the first episode about Part II. Yet to listen to it, but just thought I'd share. Heard the preview at the end of last week's episode and it seems it's going to be good. In case, anyone's interested, here's the link. https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vdGhlb2ZmaWNpYWx0aGVsYXN0b2Z1c3BvZGNhc3Q&ep=14&episode=MTYzY2JhZTYtZjVmZC00NDY3LWIzZTUtMTI5NjQ2N2E1ODFh

One character I did not like at all was Dina. Somehow, just irritating. The Ellie-Dina dynamic just didn't land for me and it felt kinda forced. All the other main characters, Tommy, Jesse, Yara, Lev, and Abby and her friends are very well fleshed-out and characters with excellent writing.

It's just so sad to see those messages. Those people really need help.
