Am I "excited????" That's an understatement, my good sir.

Ease back there, tiger. You'll sprain a wrist hammering those question marks. I speak from experience on this one.

So I'm seeing a lot of speculation where people think Joel is dead in this one and Ellie is on some sort of Akira Kurosawa-style vengeance hunt. Thoughts?

I did sprain my wrist awhile ago. It's okay now though, I'm trained in the field of spamming certain demanding characters.

I really don't think Joel is dead for many reasons, unlike what others have said (including yourself), where they believe he's simply a ghost guiding Ellie.

I don't have an opinion, sir. I just think that would be one hell of story. Ellie was... pretty spectacular in the first game.10/10, would high five her.

I think Ellie is on some revenge tour against the Fireflies, for reasons unknown. I really don't think they'd kill off Joel though.

Are you sure? First game murdered his child in the first 20 minutes. It would make sense to kill Ellie's favorite person (Joel) in the second. It has a certain "balance" to it.

If he is to die, then he'll die in the begging or sometime during the game - not before the game starts. Naughty Dog is amazing when it comes to writing plots for their games.

Am I the only one who thinks Joel's actions at the end of The Last of Us were... questionable to say the least?

Joel is an anti-hero. I think he did the right thing.

TheLegend27 - Nope. It's a matter of scale: Murder a million kids to find a cure? Monstrous. Murder ONE kid to find a cure... OK?

Odd.
