Plus, showing how you can write better than this garbage pile is like boasting about shitting your pants less than a baby does. It's not impressive.

I'm not flexing, I just don't understand how from many good options and couple bad they've managed to come up with one so terrible. Gives me DMC reboot flashbacks, to be quite honest.

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

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.

Maybe Druckmann is hinting that he'll Kurt Cobain himself if The Last of Us Part II turns out to be a massive flop?

One can only hope for this, though we‘d see thousands of online articles and post mortem awards dedicated to him and his impactful work on being a talentless jack.
Who’s going to be his Courtney Love?

I KNEW IT WILL ENDS LIKE THIS

I'm interested in seeing what blatantly last minute emergency revisions and changes they make to try and negate the damage of this leak. They've got less than two months to do it so I imagine it, whatever it ends up being, is gonna be so obvious that when people come across it in game it might as well have a neon sign flashing "this got fixed literally two weeks ago."

Also rate me autistic as fuck but unless Neil has a drugged out psycho bitch of a wife who totally wouldn't have him killed and make it look like suicide then I don't really think the Cobain comparisons are apt.

About Abby body, I found out an article about her body (body only, not face) is actually based on Colleen Fotsch.

Up to you guys decide that she looks okay or not, but thing totally makes sense for a female character having body on steroid in apocalypse time. Then again, it's probably because how they really want to "desexualize" female characters in game.

And bad news for @jellycar , the character is mocaped and voiced by Laura Bailey.



People actually speculated Abby being Ellie's mom or sister when she was a mysterious woman in the second trailer.

Eh, you know, that shit that they've tried to do could work, if it wasn't made in such ass backwards way. Like instead of making IT'S MAM, they could just make her scarred, rough and all the way fucked up by the life she had to endure. If they wanted to show that revenge matters so much for her, why wouldn't they, you know, just show that? If we already play the latter half for the antagonist, then make them switch places. Let them play as Abbie in the begging right after Joel killed everyone who could protect them from the infected, show the horror she faced, how her loved ones turned into zombies one by one, how she had to kill to survive and in the end she doesn't even want to stay alive to see that horror end, just to have her revenge against people who made her go through this hell. And that way what Joel did wouldn't look so righteous after all. And keep in mind that I don't care about the first game - never played it and not going to- but even I can't keep my laughter. Also, whoever's idea was to use golf club is exceptional.

The problem is that the result is very telegraphed without any cheap shock effect that dominates a lot of modern culture (that won't happen anyways because the spoilers are everywhere). And even if they try to hide the "perpetrators" it will still be obvious. Maybe if the plot started in Joel's past where he canoncially did shitty things. Like having him being the head of a scavenging group that targets vulnerable targets and leaves them in a state where they are dead people walking. The comeback would at least be somewhat reasonable and sympathetic.

Well, I'm not very familiar with the first game, but imagine all of this from the point of Fireflies view - you push yourself to the limit trying to survive in the mushroom hell hole, where people kill each other without the second thought just to live another day, try to find the cure to stop this madness and then some crazed hobo runs into your facility, burns people alive with a flamethrower and takes away probably the last chance of humanity's survival, who probably would die anyway in a couple of years, because good luck reaching old age in the post apocalypse.

I think the worst part is introducing a "literally who" to come in and kill an established character. Frankly, I hated the fact that Joel was ever put as a secondary character in the first place. I mean, Joel is no Shakespearian character himself, but Ellie is not at all interesting and I doubt Abby will be either.

But like all the weirdos that had a crush on Ellie in the first game get to see her get finger banged and tongued in this one. Yay for all the rainbow vomit pandering.

I remember being told I was just angry over representation when criticising Left Behind, and it's like, no, I just find the trend of grown adult men writing jailbait lesbians into their games.

Who was the mastermind behind the original Last of Us?

A Woman.

Who was the mastermind behind the original Last of Us?

Wasn't it Cuckmann?

[The handsome tard]

Who was the mastermind behind the original Last of Us?

Pretty sure its a nameless uncredited writer whom's genius will never be truly appreciated and recognized, instead with Cuckmann getting all the credit.

Edit:

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.

Im still waiting, Capcom and Square...Fuck, those games were awesome, not perfect but still worth seeing more of.

Who was the mastermind behind the original Last of Us?

Let's face it,all the good stuff was lifted from The Road,No Country for Old Men and The crossing

 

[Dom Cruise]

I wouldn't say it was one person. Druckmann, and the director for the first game, Bruce Straley, pitched it together after they re-worked Druckmann's original pitch to George Romero. Romero tasked university students with pitching him a game concept. Druckmann's idea was to blend "Ico" the ps2 game, with Night of the Living Dead, with John Hartigan from Sin City. His idea didn't win, by the way.

The co-presidents of ND liked the idea, though, and they tasked Druckmann and Straley to work together. Druckmann's initial plan was for the Human Cordyceps strain to only infect women, too, with the policeman having a heart condition and the little girl needing to protect him every so often. This eventually evolved into The Last of Us, with central themes around the idea of "life goes on."

Oh, Bruce Straley left the company after Uncharted 4 dropped, He directed Uncharted 2, 4 and TLOU 1.

Edit: He left after uncharted 4, not tlou 1, whoops. I got the release dates of both games switched around, sorry.

Ok, so Bruce Straley and maybe Amy Henning are who made the first game work and even made Uncharted 4 work.

Druckmann is clearly a parasitical shithead, hopefully he leaves the company after this.

 

[Hangula Hungui]

I would legit seethe if this wouldn’t be so funny.

 

[Shield Breaker]

Women being the only susceptible ones to the virus was deemed too misogynistic if you can fuckin' believe that. I'm beginning to think Druckmann has a thing against women in general, seeing as how a lesbian couple gets obliterated by a roided out Ma'am.

And that's another thing; why the hell is Abby so fucking huge with gargantuan muscles? I remember it being a specifically said during several points by NPC's that food is in short supply. One bandit was beyond amazed another guy found like 25 cans of bacon.
To get the kind of musculature Abby has, you'd not only have to seriously work out on a dedicated training regimen, you'd have to eat well with a specific diet and drink a lot of water. It looks more and more like some weird, deviant fantasy with a gritty backdrop.

A male feminist who secretly hates women? Pfft.

 

[OnMoTi]

The game is going to sell well. People who think otherwise are delusional. Just like people claiming the last Star Wars movie would bomb. The average person is a mindless drone who buys whatever their overlords tell them to buy.
