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

Not all of them are bad, but so many have been bad that they're all permanently stuck as a bad genre.

IMO there's a couple out there that were decent enough that I can rewatch and enjoy.

Mortal Kombat 95'
Silent Hill
Advent Children (CGI but I think it qualifies)

The recent Resident Evil outings weren't even made to make money. Just to turn White characters into shitskins.

the street fighter movie was so bad it became GOAT. can't beat raul julia stealing the show and chewing through every scene so his kids can have fun. RIP gomez.
mario movie also gets a lot of flak, but it's not like mario in the 90's had the deepest lore besides dodging barrels thrown by a gorilla and getting high on shrooms.

You forgot
-Street Fighter 94
-the first Jolie Tomb Raider
-Hitman 07
-Uwe Boll's Postal
-the Angry Birds Movie duology
-both Sonic and Sonic 2

those movies based on respective individual video games range from decent to pretty good

also do not get this idea that there are no spores in this world as in the first episode we clearly see the old woman next to an open window. This implied for me that the infection was airborne to some extant as how would the old woman have become infected?

The new explanation is that the infection spread through wheat. It's why they keep mentioning breads and everyone is eating biscuits.

Ellie might be immune but she can still sense what the fungi men can do.

Congratulations Neil, you´ve tainted Tess´ death by making it about her pissing herself in fear and getting tongued.

Male feminist changes woman´s death from last stand against FEDRA to being scared and getting tongued by Druckmann´s self insert.

...Wtf

I am from the future and i come with a massive warning regarding Henry & Sam.

Sam tongues* Ellie's angus and Henry gets kneed on by Joel, to make Pedro hated.

I did say Silent Hill.

SF2 movie I don't know why I forgot it when I think it's the best adaption of a game ever made. The English dub is 10,000 times better than the Japanese because the OST is incredible.

The HBO TLOU show will be getting a second season.

View attachment 4352908

And I don't know if this is one of Drunkmann's stupid memes that he likes to post about TLOU2, or if he is actually open to the idea of working with Halley Gross on the show.

They operate on contracts and refuse to let shows only run one season nowadays to deny failure to themselves. This isn't a success; this was obligation and insistence. The only difference is the show isn't complete dogshit apparently due to being based on the first game and Cuckman not insisting on absolutely burning it down yet.

And again, the lack of spores is mainly because that retard Pedro is a bitch who refuses to hide his face.

I do like to admit that I don't proof-read correctly.

I'd say Revelation was dogshit as it played too much like an episode of Scooby-Doo than actually trying to adapt the third Silent Hill game.

I love seeing the comments defending this shit and some even calling an improvement. A constant reminder of the shit people will allow and eat up and then ask for more.

I'm playing through 2 properly for the first time myself and I love how obvious it is that Abby and the tranny kid are meant to just be a more diverse do-over of Joel and Ellie, because on some level Cuckman has never gotten over making a game where the lead is a straight white male.

Abby and the Mulan are what Cuckmann wanted since the beginning. They are entirely his creations, unlike Joel and Ellie.

Mortal Kombat 95'

Its a legit decent adaptation of the original and legit felt like they played the game and paid attention to the companion material like comics. I feel like Sub Zero and Scorpion got the icy shaft (literally for Subs) but it was a small price to pay to see the rest of the cast being portrayed so well. There are some priceless scenes of ham that surprisingly fits with MK

(*Furiously points*)

(I legit quote this one on the rare ocassion)

Silent Hill

SH 1 is basically supernatural Taken but I guess it could have been much worse, I guess. I can feel someone played the first game and had some idea of what they were doing...mostly.

Advent Children (CGI but I think it qualifies)

Didnt watch it but at least it feels like it tried to replicate the game's look.

I am assuming the Spore thing has no bearing on the plot of the show at all and was just some head cannon thing the writers agreed upon because they didn't want any questions in the audience mind about spores. Which is dumb because it is not a huge deal in the games. Characters simply put on masks when they need to by visually seeing spores in the game. I always assumed it was a high dose of spores that would get you infected so if you weren't in some old building and couldn't visually see spores you would be fine 99% of the time without a mask.

Thats something called subtle world building. A lot many cannot grasp these days.

These gifs always kinda piss me off for some reason.

It’s the “what is Love?” meme.

I wish they would leave the eternal classic alone instead of using it for their shitty jokes.

Unions won't do anything to stop things like this. I have to laugh at retards who think unions will make working conditions at studios better because they are universally the same people who complain about sexual harassment. Guess what? Unions are notoriously fond of protecting sexual predators, just look at the teachers unions.

Unions should only be a thing in industries where you can be maimed or killed easily.

They also tend to be dripping with commies, I can tell that from experience.

I feel it captured the soul of the original, although a lot of people whine they focus too much on Cloud. Well, it's a two hour film. They can't focus on seven characters equally. What you get the supporting cast is fine. They all show up in the third act and everyone gets their cool moment. I've watched it again recently and I think it still holds up. At the time the final fight felt over the top and it's pretty tame compared to the schlock that's in the Remake ending.

I'll still go to bat for the original 2013 game, not the sequel, not the remake and not the TV show.

But I do think the original game is good if you can divorce it from the shitshow the franchise became (I'll always have fond memories of it, but not sure I could go back to it given everything since)

I think Amy Henning and everyone else at Naughty Dog at the time is who deserves the credit for why it worked, it turned out good despite Druckmann.

In interviews at the time they heavily implied it was meant to be a standalone story and that's how it works best.

There was a window of time there in the western development world where the push for "games as art" lead to some interesting things, but it all got so badly turbo fucked in the ass by politics that now you long for when stories were just "the President has been kidnapped by ninjas, are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?"

Silent Hill

The thing about the Silent Hill movie is taken on it's own it's good, good cinematography, set design, art direction, special effects etc.

It's a well directed movie, the trouble lies with the script, the writer misunderstood plot points and made pointless changes, the director clearly had passion for the source material (even if he kind of misunderstood it too), with the writer it feels like an obvious work for hire job.

It's a weird situation, I both don't hate and hate the movie at the same time, I hate the impact it had on the fandom and the series itself, but if you can divorce it from all that it's a solid movie on it's own (and nostalgic, really takes me back to 2006)

The new explanation is that the infection spread through wheat. It's why they keep mentioning breads and everyone is eating biscuits.

The original game makes reference to infected crops spreading it.

My theory, no clue if it's even been gone into since, is that the fungus came from the south American rainforest and gained exposure to crops through deforestation.

Maybe it started off as one thing and quickly mutated once exposed to north American elements, like the Venezuelan spider in the movie Arachnophobia mating with a north American spider and giving birth to a new hybrid breed.

Given the developers Uncharted games, the first of which also involved a mutating virus originating somewhere in south America, feels like they would have had it on the brains and makes the most sense.

But as is usual with this genre, it doesn't really matter where it came from or needs to be explained.

They wanted to do SH2 I believe but they didn't want to jump over the first one, so they basically did a combination of them but all the monsters for the most part were all SH2... when they're only relevant to James. They even promoted the fuck out of it with "Promise" when it's a SH2 song.

I can forgive it though. I think a SH2 film was announced but I wouldn't hold my breath on that being even remotely good compared to the game. Especially with how every adaption of everything is awful now, and they'd make James a nignog. Plus there's no way in hell they would even attempt at including all the extreme themes from it.

It's probably my favorite thing about the game, is that it didn't pull punches and went for it and somehow the subject matter didn't become poorly handled and embarrassing.

I recently went through it after the TV show dropped (The PS4 remaster, not the shitty remake) and it's still a pretty genuinely enjoyable experience. I like the setting and the character interaction is good. The gameplay is linear but levels have multiple paths and I like the dialed back scrounging you have to do to. Combat is engaging, stealth is too simple, but it all works together to make a pretty solid action adventure game.

I think Amy Henning and everyone else at Naughty Dog at the time is who deserves the credit for why it worked, it turned out good despite Druckmann.

The first game was a co-directed experience but for some reason the other director has been systematically scrubbed from the memory of the first game in exchange for Cuckman being the sole creative genius behind the whole IP. Wonder (((why))) that would be?

Druckmann systematically eradicating all of the talent at ND is one of the saddest things to happen to that studio.

In interviews at the time they heavily implied it was meant to be a standalone story and that's how it works best.

I remember them saying if there was going to be a sequel that it would follow a new cast, because it's not like there is much room to do a follow up there without doing some kind of generic revenge story. They could have done any location in the world with any new characters they wanted.

It's too bad, SH2 arguably works even better when you haven't played the first game and have no context at all for why Silent Hill is the way it is, I know that's how I played it and it made it even scarier.

But that obviously would have left audiences confused.

And yeah, they're supposed to be finally doing it but it would have been a lot more interesting if it had been the 2006 movie.

I recently went through it after the TV show dropped (The PS4 remaster, not the shitty remake) and it's still a pretty genuinely enjoyable experience.

Combat is engaging, stealth is too simple, but it all works together to make a pretty solid action adventure game.

/v/ types really bashed it even back then because it was already unhip for a game to really emphasize story and got so much praise therefore people had to be contrarians.

But it was good, felt like an earnest attempt from a western dev to do something with a similar impact to Silent Hill 2, the setting felt like a fresh take on post apocalypse before that really started to get overdone.

I don't think I've played a western game with as compelling a story since.

And Ellie was an interesting female character, she wasn't a sex object (obviously since she's supposed to be like 14) but wasn't ugly or a generic "strong female character", she felt like an actual person, if things could have stayed at 2013 levels when it comes to female characters I would have been fine with it but obviously SJWs always double and triple down.

It is what it is, one of the last great games from a western dev before the slow but steady downward spiral starting in 2014.

The first game was a co-directed experience but for some reason the other director has been systematically scrubbed from the memory of the first game in exchange for Cuckman being the sole creative genius behind the whole IP. Wonder (((why))) that would be?

Looking it up, Bruce Straley is the guy, not only was he the co-director on Last of us but also Uncharted 4, which explains why that one worked too despite the departure of Amy Henning.

I wish I had know about him sooner, but at least it explains why those games were good, when he departed in 2017 and ND became the Cuckman show, it died.

Druckmann systematically eradicating all of the talent at ND is one of the saddest things to happen to that studio.

ND was one of the GOAT devs, the fact that it was ruined is one of the saddest things to happen to video games period.

That's another reason I love SH2 so much, since it's isolated from the rest of the series. It's not even a sequel. It's this self contained story that happens to take place in the town. They only mention the cult with the Rebirth ending.

I also do not get this idea that there are no spores in this world as in the first episode we clearly see the old woman next to an open window. This implied for me that the infection was airborne to some extant as how would the old woman have become infected?

Later in the episode they say “I guess Mrs Old Lady must’ve gotten it because she goes into the city so often for medical treatments.” I thought we were meant to see the old woman looking vacantly out the window as a setup for the dog staring at her intently. Despite the old lady’s checked out expression, Dog knows something is up.

The new explanation is that the infection spread through wheat. It's why they keep mentioning breads and everyone is eating biscuits.

That’s interesting. They mention it originating in a grain depot in Jakarta, but I didn’t think we’re meant to believe that people in Texas are eating the same grain as people in Indonesia. I thought we were meant to believe it originating in the grain, spread to humans in Indonesia, and to other humans by human contact after.
