Unfortunate. Up to 34,000 1-star reviews and sitting at a 7.9/10 compared to the first two episodes which were both 9.2/10.
Yup, TLOU fandom isn't quite as toxic as Star Wars but it's close. TLOU Part 2 was a great game that people just crapped all over because of things that had nothing to do with the game. I'll admit one situation in particular Joel's death, but I have all the confidence in the world that the show will handle it extremely well could've been handled a little better, but other than that, it was brilliant.This happened with Part 2, hardly surprising this has happened yet again.
TLOU community has some genuine stinkers.
I don't see how it could've possibly been more heart wrenching.... they used every card at their disposal for that episode.Just read there's a 2-hour directors cut of episode 3 which is even more heart wrenching...

I'm not denying that it exists, it's just about if it's actually better. The episode we got was perfection and I can't think of anymore emotional cards they could've pulled.The Last of Us episode 3 has a two-hour director's cut - and it's even more heartbreaking
The Last of Us episode three originally had an extended cut that made showrunner Craig Mazin "cry so hard, it hurt."www.thepinknews.com
What would you have changed to improve it? I totally don't mean this in a stand-offish way I am just genuinely curious as to what you would have preferred them to do?Yup, TLOU fandom isn't quite as toxic as Star Wars but it's close.

Better writing. The end result is fine, I’m not one of the weirdos butt hurt about that. The writing that lead to the end result can be better in the show is all I’m saying, there’s some subtleties and slightly better character progression that they need to change and it’ll be fine.What would you have changed to improve it?

Speaking of Episode 5…
The progression of Joel and Ellie’s relationship is being handled nicely and the changes to explore our human antagonists for this episode was very nice as in the game, they were there, but there wasn’t really a story behind them. They were just goons you got yourself past to progress the story.I really liked this episode. Similar to Episode 2 to me, but how they approach the changes due to the geography basis allows a lot more depth and exploration to Joel and Ellie's dynamic.
Love how we don't have to wait long for it either. Now make sure Episode 9 is on the Friday night and not competing against the Oscars.
