Translation: A tribute to those great characters who are gone but never forgotten.

It's funny that they included the picture of Jesse, and Dina's bracelet, even though Jesse was quickly forgotten for the most part after Abby Quickscoped him, and Dina is still alive and fucked off to somewhere.

They did it because it's a holiday and it doesn't spoil the main part of the game.

I mean even Square Enix doesn't tweet about Aeris' death even though everyone supposedly already knows.

Why…oh right, Day of the Dead.

Boy that’s some blatant-ass Pandering.

I've had a thought. Many TLOU2 fans say that Joel deserved to die because he condemned all of humanity to die by saving Ellie. I honestly wonder what these fans would do if they played Life is Strange and at the end they had to choose between Chloe and Arcadia Bay.

It's basically the same situation only on a smaller scale. Everyone in the town dies if Chloe lives, but everyone will survive if Max kills Chloe. Most LiS fans have been pretty split on the ending choice (except for people who dislike Chloe obviously) so I assume TLOU2 fans would be in a similar boat, save Chloe or the town?

If they chose Chloe, essentially all these TLOU2 fans have indirectly admitted that they're hypocrites. They chose one girl over the deaths of others because of their close connection with the character. That means Max and/or the fan deserve a good golf club hit as punishment.

I stopped playing TLOU2 halfway through because I felt really bad and it was amidst COVID, I felt really bad.

Isn't that bullshit, though? I thought the Fireflies were just lunatics and killing Ellie would have done absolutely nothing, plus they had no plans of saving humanity with the cure anyway, just themselves.

They didn't play the game, they just pretended they did and don't care at all about consistency since the online slap fight's more important.

That's been memory holed by Neil and his cronies; it is now a fact that if Joel had let the Fireflies lobotomize Ellie, the entire world would have been saved and it would've been sunshine and rainbows from then on out. Thus, Joel is literally the second coming of Hitler.

Which is something I'm expecting to be fully set in stone in the TLOU1 remake as the "new and superior canon".

I thought it was meant to be ambiguous, sort of like how Xenozoic Tales had 4 or 5 plausible reasons why Dinosaurs came back and wrecked the then modern world and you're not supposed to know which one is correct.

A cure is useless if the whole world is already divided into military - cannibal rapists - BLM Looters - Fireflies.

Any milita would just siege the shit out of the fireflies for the vaccine till somebody ends up destroying it by accident.

Life is Shit comparison also isn´t the same since Arcadia Bay (Joyce, David, Kate & the Rest) isn´t filled entirely with assholes.

How good did it feel at the end of TLOU to just go through the hospital blowing those Firefly cunts away? All the rage of existing in that world just went apeshit.....

 

[Sekirodiealot]

Really I think the whole reason the sex scene goes doggy style is because that was simply the easiest to animate. Just have one bend over and the other lean over the other's ass and thrust hips.

If Hideo Kojima actually tried pulling this off in real life I would not be surprised. That man is utterly insane.

Which just breaks the setting further as people did the math and figured that while a woman could look like Abby in real life with all the gains, it would require absolutely ludicrous dedication to a personal fitness program that involved trainers and excessive supplements. Neither of which would exist mere decades after complete societal collapse.

A big factor is that most women doesn't wanna look like Abby. Than again all the female characters in the game are ugly.

There's a ton of that, that can be attributed to facial scan technology. It warps shit usually.

They're not perfect systems, but in people's strive for realism it's what gets used. Same with motion capture, it doesn't make the process any easier because you always have to clean up mocap data.

The Fireflies are literally just post-apocalyptic ANTIFA...So, yeah, they're lunatics.

Mo-cap is just high-tech rotoscoping.

So I just finished the first game and enjoyed it well enough, and I have access to the sequel thanks to PS Now.

Should I bother giving it a chance, or is it just going to piss me off like Star Wars The Last Jedi?

How much do you like Joel as a character?

The Fireflies were a quasi-military organization that wanted to bring back the branches of the US government. They were hunted down by the remains of said government that had split off into mercenary groups. They would terrorize the Boston quarantine zone and kept losing more and more of their people.

That's been memory holed by Neil and his cronies; it is now a fact that if Joel had let the Fireflies lobotomize Ellie, the entire world would have been saved and it would've been sunshine and rainbows from then on out. Thus, Joel is literally the second coming of Hitler.

Now, if I got my lore right, Cordyceps itself wasn't the issue, it was a parasite that piggybacked off the fungus that made it as mutagenic as it was. It functioned a lot like meningitis/rabies in that it attaches to spinal fluid before reaching the brain. It's hard to create vaccines against fungi. In this case they'd need vaccinologists and anti-parasitic drugs. But their only biologist decided to act real smart by releasing monkeys infected with the fungus. He was bitten in the process and committed suicide. That should have been a clue that the Fireflies did not have the resources to create a cure.

It's also mentioned that 7-8 other immune people were killed on the operating table with no benefit. Their only surgeon did not have the expertise to extract the parasite.

A cure is useless if the whole world is already divided into military - cannibal rapists - BLM Looters - Fireflies.

Joel must have known that the minute the Fireflies got that cure they would have used it as a bargaining chip to those still in power. People pay big money for a cure for an actually deadly disease. They would have created a new, stratified society, holding most of it hostage if they opposed Firefly rule. They were a paramilitary terror group and they lost the few scientists they had.

Ellie would have died for nothing. Joel knew it. The audience knew it. And they killed him with a golf club like you do with people in Vice City.
