The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

I have no idea what ND is doing anymore (aside from being retarded obviously). Their big reveal at the Sony show was a fucking Uncharted port. Everyone was expecting the TLOU multiplayer but it's STILL MIA over a year later. And that's on top of the TLOU2 DLC which was allegedly scrapped.

Meanwhile Insomniac is somehow cranking out games like there's no tomorrow and pretty much everyone who doesn't have their mouths glued to Neil's cock has agreed that they've replaced ND as Sony's crown jewel at this point. What an amazing fall from grace they've had the last year.

I'm not going to even bother to link this article, but the sheer absurdities of articles like this makes me think that Neil Druckmann has these "gaming journalists" held hostage by an IRL Abby, who will Joel-In-One them if they don't continue to write the said shill articles:

Too sympathetic? Her father figure got brutally killed while she was forced to watch, her lover left her and she pretty much has no one left, she got her fingers bitten off, and was shown to have PTSD. Her life pretty much got destroyed by Abbysaurus. Did these people even play the fucking game? Hell, I didn't play it and even I know all this shit.

Its funny you say that because Ellie still got the worst outcome out of the two. Abby didnt witness her father getting killed, ultimately got what she wanted and at worst she got was only lost her dumbass friends (but she has her tranny pet with her so its all fine). Ellie lost Joel in a traumatizing manner, killed Abby's dumbass friends (which seemed to hurt her emotionally actually, especially when one of them was pregnant), lost her lover and their kid and gave up her revenge because of plot contrivences. And her fingers are gone so she cant play her comfort instrument properly anymore.

Abby won and there is no argument about it. Anything she lost, she can rebuild, most that Ellie lost cant be brought back. Its just so disgusting to see the story treat Joel and Ellie like this and just favor some new comer nobody.

People love to throw the "MGS2 did it too!" excuse but I assure you that if they actually played MGS 2, they would know that comparison is bullshit. Raiden, for as flawed as he was as a character in 2, didnt take anything from Snake, sure, we didnt play much as Snake but there was no character assassination. Snake was still snake, if anything, he felt higher, stronger, wiser and actually free from the system he wanted to aid others with escaping...MGS 2 Snake felt like Solid embracing Big Boss's good qualities while making sure to not commit the same mistakes. So despite us not playing as Snake, I think they did justice to his character.

We obviously didnt get that in TLOU Part 2. All returning characters suffered when not getting outright brutally and pointlessly killed. And the new comer gets elevated, vindicated and gets away with everything in the end.

And for what? "Revenge is bad" ? A shitty hill to die on.

I guess that's what he wanted since the very beginning, i mean maybe... it's not that bad?

If the TV adaptation somehow manages to be a success, maybe Druckman would quit making games and will move to make movies and TV shows instead, leaving the videogame industry, and i see that as a good thing.

Raiden also looks up to Snake as a hero even after Snake tells Raiden his reputation as a hero (and heroes in general) isn't at all as glamorous, warranted, or wanted as others think. Even in Revengeance he still looks up to Snake despite being a cybernetic demi-god who throws robots the size of skyscrapers around with his bare hands. It's been talked to death at this point, but it all comes down to respect. Other games respect their characters and fans (well, usually). TLOU2 does not. This game and the person who made it have nothing but disrespect for the characters and fans. This game and the person who made it legitimately, unironically, hate you.

Indeed, it seems as though Druckmann only copied the bare minimum of the whole "twist obscured by misleading marketing" ploy of MGS2, without understanding why it worked or how it was executed. Not to mention that, in addition to not disrespecting the previous protagonist, the twist was done as a part of the game's overall meta-commentary on the nature of video games and the player's interactions with them.

Was there any meta-commentary in TLOU2?

If there was, it wasnt done well because we kind of gotta "assume" cuckmann meant certain things while we can tell Kojima was telling us something with MGS 2. With MGS 2, he didnt want a carbon copy of 2 so he built around the meta narrative of sequels being just reharshed originals with prettier graphics, there was also commentary on the huge popularity of MGS 1 and the obssession some fans had with completing the VR missions because they just couldnt get enough of Snake...also there was his commentary on his concern over the dangers of control that the coming digital age would bring (and he frighteningly nailed it).

MGS 2 had a LOT to say and Im sure you can write entire paragraphs over the symbolism and commentary/meta-commentary

TLOU 2 didnt have much to say besides revenge is bad and that humanity sucks? Dude, both of these messages were hammered down by way more talented people, you are not Kojima, you are not Alan Moore, you are a basic bitch writer who leeched off of the writing skills of your co-workers in the first game.

I have seen TLOU fanfictions that act as more satisfying sequels than the actual sequel. Mostly thanks to them coming from a place of passion. Its clear Cuckmann has no passion.

I very much am looking forward to them not being able to find a single female actress who's even a third as muscular enough to play Abby despite spending over a year sperging about how Abby is totz realistic and there's tons of women walking around who look just like her.

Union rules when it comes to filming+needing spares so people don't get burned out.

A TV series is a big undertaking this isn't out of the ordinary. Star Trek TNG would get multiple episodes done within the same day and re-used a ton of sets, but that was rare.

They should just go ahead and hire a troon, that's the only way they'll get a "female" who looks like that much of an ogre.

It still blows my mind self described progressives aggressively defend a game where a troon beats two lesbians nearly to death and expresses joy at the prospect of slitting a pregnant woman's throat. It's so hilariously unwoke but some moderately right wing people hate it so here we go.

Yeah well if you want the game to truly die you have to stop talking about it.

Like Glover, nobody gives a fuck about Glover. People don't even mention it in conversation. Oh and don't go "but the quality was bad that means he can't make anymore", how many movies has M.Night Shamlamadingdong made since his first bomb? We're well into 10 movies.

Hell Stephen King is still getting movie and TV deals and he has long stopped producing quality work.
