It is not my intention to direct any hate towards Cascina.

She has only played through 2 hours of the game at this point; so she is obviously (and understandably) experiencing an incredible emotional reaction to Joel's death. We all did. That's literally the point; that's what you're supposed to experience - pure hatred; in-the-heat-of-the-moment, vengeful and vindictive; hate.

I just hope; and this goes for everybody playing Part II; heck - anybody playing any game in general; that Cascina allows the game to tell it's entire story. And I think this is where the great majority of Part II haters come from; they never allowed the game to explain itself - that, and those who intentionally read spoilers/story synopsises - why anybody would choose to hinder their experience like that is beyond my train of thought. You're only ruining it for yourself.
