Left Behind is the worst part of this game

[Monterossa]

Just finished the main game last night and I love it. This morning I tried to finish Left Behind so that I can uninstall the game and move on. But I just couldn't finish it.

It's so damn horrible, it's like it was made by a different dev team from the main game or something? Idk. It keeps switching back and forth between the past and present, the present part was decent, but the past part was one of the worst game scenarios I've been played through recently.

First of all, I'm more like a Japanese entertainment media consumer, so I'm not that used to the western crap, especially their 202X's political content. But I'm very open for all sorts of love. Ellie & Riley's relationship isn't an issue to me. But the way they present it is very very very horrible. It's like they want to make people hate this kind of stuff instead of normalizing it. For god's sake.

Plus, Riley's character is so unlikable. Think logically, someone with a characteristic like Ellie, a straight forward girl, should never get along with someone like Riley, let's be real.

These western creators should try to learn from the Japanese. The way they do yaoi and yuri stuff and people love those stuff, and it's been like that since the 80's or something. Japan is actually way ahead of you Americans when it comes to making good LGBT content.

Back to this Left Behind thing. I hate all the mini games and the slow pace of the story. Whatever story the devs were trying to tell me, or to unfold their relationship or whatever, all of them were done very poorly. I couldn't even finish it. After the watergun battle I just snapped, Alt+F4, and uninstall the game.

How could this sidestory be so bad compared to the main game?

Lmfao look at all the parrots 🦜

Left Behind’s boring ass Sony style mini games were poopy tbf. But the combat encounters and atmosphere is top notch. I would have dropped the whole dual perspective nonsense and had the whole thing take place in the mall/surrounding area. And the ending being them making it to where WINTER begins.

Simple and straightforward allowing more chances for combat encounters and cool Ellie vs infected vs human gameplay.

Rather than putting on masks, slow walking telling what some I guess would call “jokes”, and playing a fake ahh meh fighting mini-game.

TLOU2 is just Left Behind again, but this time it's the length of a full game.
