We will see if its the fastest drop too. I almost pre ordered, if it wasn't for my dislike of paying 60$ for games (prefer discounts later on). I ain't buying at all after learning the story line.

Or that something new is happening and I needed to discover with Ellie and Joel... I was expecting a death or otherwise something serious to happen to either Ellie or Joel (kidnapped, transformation!!... Mistery!)... The themes of gay lesbian where present on the first title, I expected some of it in the same or similar fashion, basically being it is what it is and this is the character, and this is part of them, that was very well executed on the first.
From what I've seen the story of this game is not for me.
