Looked more like a flashback to me to help her think of happier times while in a depressing situation.

But out of curiosity why do you hope it’s not the main focus? It provides an interesting character development for Ellie in what’s keeping her moving forward.

Wasn't her sexuality a focal point in that 2 hour DLC on the first game? She was playing with her girlfriend or something and made too much noise?

Hmm kinda, dunno if I'd characterise it as a 'focal point'. Only really became clear they were more than friends in the last 5 mins of the DLC if I remember right.

Some mouth breathers are getting mad because they showed her kissing a girl, was extremely clear from TLoU: Left Behind that she was gay.
 
Even if they didn't play the DLC, why would they be mad?
It’s moronic. But they’re entitled to their opinion as much as anyone is. Unfortunately

A list of some of the details divulged in the discussion about The Last of Us 2.

  • New traversal and prone move-sets.
  • Combat has increased emphasis on tension, interactivity and realism.
  • Enemy AI references each other by name, and constantly communicates with each other.
  • Two different timelines explored in TLOU2.
  • New dodge/evade mechanic is a core part of combat and melee.
  • You now have a jump button.
  • Far more creative and emergent moments in combat thanks to big increase in breadth of options.
  • Improved stealth mechanics, including crawl, prone, squeezing into tighter gaps, underneath vehicles etc.
  • Expanded infected enemies and whole new classes.
  • You're not automatically fully hidden in grass. Extent of your visibility depends on height & density of foliage.
  • Much more verticality in combat scenarios now. She needs more routes and ways to engage.
  • Survival aspects are still a focus.
  • Different ammo types (eg explosive arrows) now. Each ammo type fulfills a particular strategy niche.
  • Animation system is completely overhauled so everything is even more realistic and transitions are seamless.
  • Wide linear combat environments are being expanded to be even larger and broader.
  • AI system massively improved for added realism.
  • No more auto AI telepathic awareness of you once spotted. They whistle to and actually communicate with each other.
  • Referred to as systemic check-ins of AI information. They pass information to each other more realistically to let new groups and enemies know of the unfolding situation or of your position.
  • Enemy awareness and ability to seek player out improved.
  • You can now craft different ammo and arrow types.
  • The Church scene is set 4 years after the events of TLOU in Jackson, the gameplay demo is set 5 years after.
  • Seraphite(sp?) is a religious cultish group, but they will not be black and white. Motivations explored.
  • They use more advanced facial camera capture and mo-cap now, more advanced than they had with Uncharted 4.
  • Lots of new facial animation tech. More nuances of the face, creases, folds, build up of skin etc.
  • Eyeball tech also re-worked, now includes internal refractions, reflections and so on.
  • Joel is somewhere out there in Jackson....
 
Anybody else find the intensity to be upped and a bit less emphasis on stealth?

Nope, the little rundown above even highlights all the more ways you can be stealthy.
 
Ah fair enough.

Just seemed more action paced for a fair part there.

I think they wanted to show off the action. The first had moments of absolute stealth and moments of absolute crazy s**t.
 
Gaming can be such a toxic community sometimes. Why anyone would have a problem with a video game character kissing a girl is beyond me
I assumed gamers were only mad because it stopped at kissing tbh

What else is it if it isn't racism or bigotry? Why else would someone not want to see a black person on screen or two girls/guys kissing?

Genuine question.
