Legitimately a great game but I had to take it in bursts because it got depressing as fuck to watch these 2 characters constantly make decisions that seemed precision designed to ruin their lives or get put into godawful situations. I'm sure cuckman was trying to hammer home the point of the story with that but after a while the game just got emotionally exhausting
>slaughter my way through various encampments listening to people cry out in anguish whenever I kill an enemy NPC
>get to cutscene where abby/ellie look at several options and immediately leaps for the one that is the most impulsive, alienating, and has the most horrendous consequences
>every once in a while throw in a nightmare sequence or a flashback to hanging out with a character you know is going to die horrifically (and oftentimes for no reason)
>repeat until the very end where ellie is left completely alone and physically destroyed
>mfw
Still, pretty good game. First time I ever felt vaguely bad for killing enemy NPCs but maybe that's just because I'm getting soft in my 30's. I know a lot of people hated on naughty dog after Uncharted 4 and TLOU2 but they are two of my favorite games because the characters they feature seem more flawed/human than any other characters I've seen in video games for a while

>everyone sperging about drones
>army realizes the untapped potential small man-packable drones have for recon/one off strikes and orders 7 gorillion of them to distribute at a platoon level
>each company gets like... 4 drones total
>one dude just gets randomly designated as the drone guy per platoon
>no real training on them except for a 3 day crash course run by the sales rep--errr... contractor for the drone company
>any time soldiers want to fly them they have to do a whole fucking packet for the FAA and those almost never get approved so there goes any chance of hip pocket training or getting to use them at live fires lower than a company level
>drones treated as SI so there goes the idea of ever using them as cheap guided munitions for infantry conducting assaults because if you break one you're getting a FLIPL shoved straight up your cornhole
>outside of CTC rotations they become yet another piece of expensive annoying SI you have to lug around in the field and keep track of and never use
The Army has the tools but in typical Army fashion completely manages to fuck it up. I was marginally lucky in that we had a CO and 1SG who didn't give a fuck and let us just fly the drones around whenever we wanted in the field and at the COF just to get reps in but I know that it probably caught them some serious hell from higher.
When it comes to the FPV drone game, the US is so woefully fucking behind that it's not even funny. Unless some high speed unit starts to utilize them and make some serious noise about how you can properly implement them at a squad or platoon level, the drone program is dead in the fucking water and it's going to cost people their lives
