People stil trying to pretend that TLOU isn't one of the best games of all times...
The fact the entire summer of 2013 was non stop debates on why Joel does what he does in TLOU and if it was right/wrong proves how powerful of an experience TLOU was. Personal opinions may not think it was an all time great, but as far as collective mind share is concerned it's an all time great.
Also while many other factors where at play TLOU was a big reason why the PS4 was a run away success at launch. It wasn't even a launch game and wouldn't release for like 9 months later yet... It closed out the PS3 with an emphatic bang. I couldn't possibly count how many posts/tweets I saw about people buying a PS4 to be ready for when the next SP Sony experience like TLOU comes out.

There is plenty to debate if you actually played the full game. Joel is literally a vicious psychopath that only looks for single things to keep moving on with. He literally shunned his own brother because he hated bonding with people in the world as it was. The only reason he didn't abadon Ellie to begin with was because the only person he cared about at the time in Tess begged and pleaded with him to do so on her death bed. Even so after that for literally half of the game he still resented Ellie. It wasn't until the moment when she literally saves his life(the first time) that he started to moderately care about her and it wasn't until she saved his life(the second time) that he actually began to love her like family.
It's a far bigger journey then your shallow af cliche is trying to portray. It's not some cheap anime with the depth of a kiddie pool, it's actually quite the narrative journey. It's not like he instantly hopped on the "you're my new daughter!" bandwagon, we're literally talking months of bonding over the course of the journey.

i been thinking. Gears 5 trailer seems to hint at the return of locus. which is going to need a very large explanation on how they survived.
