Jesus Christ, this would have been a far more satisfying ending to Joel’s character arc and it‘d be in tone with the first game, giving the title „Part 2“ a better meaning

Edit:

Can you be any more pretentious, (((Druckmann)))? You’re not the Kurt Cobain of the video game industry. Kurt was a drug addict who wrote down his psychosis into lyrical form. You just have a torture fetish and chase after brownie points from people who don’t even play your games.
If you want to be like Kurt so bad, please consider a shotgun mouthwash like he did.

Honestly, if they were gonna do this story of Abby wanting revenge and revenge bad... a better way would have been having them intersect at the climax and having Elly and Dina escape with a wounded Joel when he shouts the truth. That Fireflies were gonna scoop Ellie's brain out with very little chance of it working. They were gonna kill him because they couldn't trust him alive. All he'd have to do is point at Abby's rage as his own at that time. At least he saved a life, what's Abby saving? Nodding at Dina cradling her stomach after the assault.

Then should Abby be as emotionally unstable as she looks they make a run, Abby screams and starts after them. Lev being the only voice of reason for Abby would likely intervene at this juncture as Lev inexplicably did while Abby was wailing on Ellie -- I may be wrong in remembering this, I forgot a fair amount of the leak because I'd rather not waste what little of my brain's memory storage remains. The final slope towards the epilogue is Abby finding out all she fought for was a lie. The Fireflies were fucking crazy and her own family had been needlessly killing people with no progress.

At which point I'd probably have her kill herself in regret to tie up that loose end as Lev comforting her back into sanity doesn't seem particularly possible given the bitch's choice of weapon is a golf club. Plus it's too touchy feely for a "woman" who spent this long roided out in a singular quest of killing an old man and his adopted daughter. IRL professional wrestlers don't get that second chance, post-apocalyptic roid woman doesn't either.

Ellie is pushing Joel in a wheelchair, his spine shattered and now Ellie takes care of him with Dina, who likely miscarried, laying flowers on her baby's and Tommy's grave.

But I'm not a professional hack. Just a regular one.

Holy fuck, you managed to make an ending that's actually good. A entire team of writers couldn't manage that in seven years, and you probably thought of it in under an hour. The absolute state of western game development.

And meanwhile, during that time, humble modest little shows like Chernobyl were getting a lot of love and attention because it tried to tell an earnest story without shitting on anyone or "subverting expectations".

Yeah, except all the people, who gave their health and sometimes lives to fix the situation and were shown as incompetent drunks, idiots or outright maniacs. And that while many of the real heroes of that time are alive.

Oh no no no no
He's pulling off an argument similar to the disaster management the head of DICE tried pulling after it was revealed that there will be bionic women on the front-lines of WW2 in BF5. Homosexuals themselves are getting angry on twitter about the way Druckmann handled Joel and Ellie. People making fun of the 'transgender' never even like the first game anyway. Is this game gonna bomb?

 

[Hangula Hungui]

Besides the memes and the huge backlash, my personal silver lining in this will be the sfm porn featuring Abby.

Oh it will sell, coomsumers and brand loyalists will eat up anything.
Hell, there was this chick I used to date who‘s a massive TLOU and LIS Fan, due to lesbian representation and she actually cried when she saw the first trailer for Part 2
But it won’t sell as much as they‘d hope. Sure, we‘ll get lots of positive reviews from the usual suspects and awards, but it won’t be printing money.
Consider The Last Of Us Part 2 as what The Last Jedi did to Star Wars.

It'll probably be another Sleeping Dogs scenario where it sold very well, but Square Enix's projection fucked over any chance at a sequel because they were way too optimistic. Capcom does that a lot too. I think that's why Dragon's Dogma hasn't gotten a sequel despite the very large interest in it as proven by its PC and PS4 sales after it was originally launched for PS3. Either way, I wouldn't expect much comeuppance for incompetence.

The game isn't going to do well. The reason why Ghosts is being released shortly after is to help the quarter because they're expecting a bomb.

The fallout is going to be interesting from all of this because everything is unprecedented. We have no comparisons, but the fault isn't just going to be with the person or people who leaked the game(it might be a woman who did it) but also for Druckman for allowing the studio to get that bad to the point where productivity was killed. There will be many many guilty parties I suspect. This is beyond Randy Pitchford levels of incompetence.

Especially if the rumors are true that the source code is floating about and TLOU2 had hardware rendering options for PS5. People have made functional emulators from less.

The biggest difference is, Dragons Dogma and Sleeping Dogs deserve actual sequels. The state in which the Last Of Us sequel is now, the IP deserves to be buried.

Who was the mastermind behind the original Last of Us?

Amy Hennig, who also wrote the first three Uncharted games, was absent for the lesbo DLC for TLOU and left the company by the time they decided to toss out her script for Uncharted 4. Word through the grapevine is that she doesn’t agree with the pc culture in the industry

Keep in mind, due to the business model video game companies use, a game can sell 10 million copies, and still lose money, because studios spend what they expect a game to make before it releases. If a studio expects at least 12 million sales, and spends the equivalent to 12 million sales in profit for other games earlier in the development cycle to minimize downtime, every sale under 12 million is lost money. I'd imagine this is especially true right now with sony, as they're gearing up for the ps5, so the money they expected to make with tlou2 was spent over a year ago to try and keep ps5 launch window titles on schedule.

Damn, I'm sad now.

 

[Alcatraz]

where did the hell did that behaviour come from?

Oh, ye of little knowledge! Did you know there was a comic series of Prototype? (Two, to be precise!) The first comic series focuses on two detectives figuring shit out about the original outbreak. It barely features Alex at all until the second to last issue, and he disappears for the final one.

Spoiler: Holy Wall of Text, Batman!

The second comic series features three stories leading up to Prototype 2, only one of which deals with Alex. Get this; he had lost his faith in humanity after the nuke went off. So he started to travel the world to soulsearch. During his travels, he visits Africa, where he kills a warlord, and then Moscow, where he realizes that even though humanity is kind on the surface, everyone is really just selfish and narcissistic. Everyone. He believes in this even harder after he obliterates a drug cartel and the people celebrate.

Then, he travels around the Midwest of America, and comes across a father and his daughter that owns a lumber mill, who are named Flint and Autumn. He disguises himself as some nobody writer named Jack, renting a lodge from Flint. Autumn is attracted to "Jack." But this guy named Zurich wants the lands around the lumber mill, but Flint wont sell, so Mercer kills his thugs, consumes Zurich, and finds out Flint used to be a criminal involving murder and rackateering. So what's he do? Kills Flint, who tried to convinc and tries to convince Autumn to go with him, since he discovered he loves Autumn.

Autumn then reveals that she stoles "Jack's" money and shot him, while gloating about how she only looks after herself. Then Alex kills her and deems humanity worthless and they must all be killed.

>Sleeping Dogs

Damn, I'm sad now.

I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie, especially in this current climate.

I love Nirvana's music ...

But if Kurt Cobain were alive today, he would undoubtedly have his own thread on the Farms. Best thing he did for his legacy was kill himself.

Also, not at all surprised by this exceptional post by Druckmann. "If you don't want to play a game where you have to beat up two lesbians to a bloody pulp and leave them for dead, then you're a sexist and a homophobe!"

Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out for him.

 

[Judge Dredd]

I bought Sakura Wars and Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.

How is the new Sakura Wars? I was going to play the fan translation but if the new one is great I might play that instead.

Poor Amy, this is one thing I hate about SJWs, they're hypocrites, an actual woman gets fucked over in the game industry because of their bullshit.

But who actually came up with the idea for The Last of Us in the first place?

we'll see abby ramming a dead joel within hours of the models being ripped.

 

[Homer Simpson]

As long as we get to avenge Joel (and possibly Tommy) and kill the giga troon at the very end of the game, I would say that would slightly make up for how shitty the plot in this game really is...

From what I've read, not even close. The video of joel dieing and ellie getting shit kicked turns the game into a "now you play the bad guy" and you play the rest as the big woman dude and kill all her friends and after everything is taken from her, you kill ellie, and it becomes a "cycle of revenge". Joel kills lady dudes parents, lady dude kills joel and ellies friends, ellie goes for revenge, and the end is lesbian vs tranny.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Tech companies see consumers as mindless paypigs. Has been that way for more than a decade.

SJWs do. But that's what happens when you have film school drop outs that enter the industry simply because it's fashionable.
