Sheesh, that's a bummer. I figured Google Docs would do fine with this, but maybe not. Let me know if it continues to not work, and I'll investigate other ways to host. Open to suggestions!

Yeah, I was surprised by that. I can read it now (with a try again/cancel/dismiss banner at the top). Anyway, good work on the doc; I found it interesting as a Seattle-area resident.

Thank you! That means a lot to me. I've been here in Seattle almost 10 years, but I feel like I still have so much to learn about this city. Making this guide taught me a lot!

The commercialization and exploitation of this game made it basically unplayable for me. I’m hoping they won’t do the same with Uncharted since I’ve yet to play the last sequel.

You're not missing much. Just when you've slogged through it and you think you're done you realise you're only half way through.

Such a disappointing game. It's basically one long downer, unlike the first (obvs awesome).

I live in Seattle and adored playing TLOU2 in my home city. Was a total trip playing set pieces in areas where I used to work downtown.

I could get nitpicky about a few areas that didn’t really make sense (and I’m still not really sure where the Seraphite camp was in act three given geography or what our actual aquarium looks like inside) but given how much I enjoyed the game I didn’t really care.

In what ways? How does it detract from the gaming experience?

In theory, the Seraphite island is supposed to be Queen Anne + Magnolia after flooding separates them from the mainland. But you can read lots of internet posts talking about the issues with that, like https://www.reddit.com/r/lastofuspart2/comments/1kzicba/figu... .

The Last of Us Part II is a very marmite game - people either love it or hate it. Personally I didn't like the direction the story went down even if the gameplay and the graphics were amazing I was left cold. However I do respect that the story itself was pretty original and was catering to female/lgtb audiences (that's cool). Just not my thing.

The commercialization of it? It's a AAA video game, it was commercial from the jump! All they did is made a well-received HBO show out of it.
