Remember how Arthur Morgan was clearly and cleanly advertised as the new main character for RDR2, was a prequel, and didn't force you to play as a character you don't know?
Remember how TLOU2 had exactly one trailer showcasing Abby and then they promptly forced you to play as her after she violently murders a beloved main character because revenge?
And how her Abruptly turning the second half of the game into a flashback sucks any and all tension out of the story?
Yeah, me too.
The problem isn't the new perspective, it's just that Abby is a bad character.
