        Spoilers ahead for the game:

        Yeah so if you look at the pre launch trailers

        spoiler

        Joel is portrayed as being a part of the journey of the game. He dies in the first “chapter”. They went so far as to switch a character out for him to make it look like he would be alive for the game. And then they try to make you sympathetic to the person who killed him by making you play as them for half the game. :::

        It makes my blood boil how bad pt 2 is after the first one is one of the best games ever.

          Yikes. I am yet to play the game but I knew Joel dies in the second one, as it almost felt like a setup for his death was built-in.

          However, I wasn’t aware of Sony going to such lengths to misdirect the game’s players.

          Thanks a lot for sharing the context.

          P.S. you might want to fix the formatting for the spoilers as it is currently not hidden.

            I dunno why it won’t work. I put the content between the tags and formatting with spaces and without. No dice
