    I imagine that’s to ensure the huge shock of Joel’s death was kept under wraps. If Joel was mysteriously missing from most of the trailer, the internet no doubt would have sussed it out.

    I loved playing Ellie. For so much of the game, I shared her deep desire for revenge too. And then playing Abby and growing connected to their story, by the end, I was so torn.

    A really unique experience I haven’t had before in a game.

      Just rewarched the ads. They are misremembering. It was very clear from the ads that Ellie wa the focus. Joel isn’t even in half of the ads from before the game released, and barely in some of the ones he is.
