Because it’s not blown in their face. You can be brain dead and shoot the “bad guys” And not pay attention.

Meanwhile TLOU 2 is very in you’re face and even the person barely paying attention will catch on. Like when Abbie was going to go kill a group of monsters and the pregnant women goes “I want to go fight too” while they had a dozen other people who will go. Abbie says “You sure you don’t want to start back you could get your kid killed” And the other characters scold Abbie for trying to limit what the pregnant woman could do. Then 1 hour later, they try to make you feel bad that Ellie is a monster for killing said pregnant person that wanted to get in on fighting action.
