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

I don't see Sony getting hurt long term from this, Naughty Dog definitely. But Sony as a whole should be fine. They've already moved Ghosts to patch up the void left by TLOU2 and PS5 will be the big november release instead of software because a new console overshadows everything.

Its fascinating just how many Woke divisions of Sony have caused things to blow up in the parent companies faces and threaten to risk them with legal liability. Lets also not forget that Funimation, another division of Sony also started the Weeb Wars drama. There is a definite pattern to this, and it makes me wonder if the Japanese overlords legitimately don't follow what their American division is up too, or are actively supporting it. Both options say bad things about their corporate management.

Large companies are like this and have been like this for decades. To mitigate collateral damage stuff they split into divisions.

Read up on all the stupid shit that Xerox did, they sold the patent to the computer mouse because their marketing department thought it was a useless device. Xerox's original OS is what both Microsoft and Apple based theirs on in the 1980's.
 
I have no idea. But its entirely possible its just from a 'game over' sequence instead of being part of the story since you play as the tranny for the rest of the game instead of a story thing.

Seems like the most plausible answer. I just wondered what the rationale would be that could leave players satisfied, and the easiest solution would be that you get to cap Abby RDR-style at the end.

The whole likeability of Abby rests on how well they can demonise Joel to justify the killing, which is a hard sell. Plenty of people liked him enough to want a sequel, and unless they're going to show him as some petty, cruel human trafficker or whatever, a few dead NPCs in a hallway and a crying kid won't change most sensible peoples' minds, since they helped kill those people after all. Are all of the homophobic cult members just men only? Who's to say they don't have kids or families too? It's just such a dumb concept and I don't think they have the self-awareness to demonstrate it properly.

You can't. The guy that holds the scalpel towards you kills you if you walk away or don't do anything to him. It is not possible to not kill him without getting a game over.

No sympathy it is, then. Fuck her and her dead dad.
 
I just want naughty dog to close because they don't make Jak games anymore.

It's like Rare holding on to all it's IPs and doing nothing with them. It drives me bonkers.
Kinda sad to see how in many game studios talented staff, who made nice games which got good reputation for studio, leave and some corporate morons get positions and fuck up everything.
But don’t be sorry for ND - people who made your fav games most likely don’t work here anymore. Thats a good time to look at more perspective new studios and devs who make games out of passion. Until corporate world consumes them too, of course, but that’s a circle of life nowadays.

Because these (((people))) hate you.
They'll bury the characters you have fond memories of, and piss on their graves.
Disney did it with Luke Skywalker, which upset a far greater audience.

Because fuck you, goyim, that's why.

Close. They are definitely doing it because they hate you and want to destroy the things you love.

But there's more to it than that.

It's called ritual humiliation, and making your beloved children choose to be gay whores, "drag kids," and chop their own dicks off is how they have their final, most powerful pwn on you. It's what a conquering, occupying force DOES to a defeated one.

Edit: Also: Instagram thots, camwhores, and riding the black cock caraosel. Same thing as the gay whores, drag kids, and tricking kids into chopping their own dicks off. If they can convince your women into turning themselves into slutty whores and demanding you clap for the semen dribbling down their thighs, it's an even bigger win for them.


It's not good enough to turn your fandoms and hobbies and media into shit. They have to make you pretend to like the taste of shit and beg them for more. That's the final step, the "culturalization" part that has been ongoing long before Adrienne Shaw shat out her Digra research that stated since gamers don't identify with their avatars -- they don't like the taste of shit -- then gamers as an identity have to be subverted and killed and replaced with nu-gamers who can't get enough corn encrusted scat down their gullets with two hands and a trowel. You have to be browbeaten into humiliating yourself voluntarily. Or, to put it in the talking point all the Gaming Journo-activists got at the time: "Gamers are Dead."

Dance for god's chosen people, you disgusting fucking köçeks. We all caused the 6 gorgillion deaths of God's Chosen, so we must be conditioned so they never have to be at risk again. Your hobbies, your culture, even your demographics. You have to destroy yourselves voluntarily and beg for more.

Have there been any AAA titles with an openly gay or bisexual male lead? My mind jumped to Prey, but the female PC is canonically bi with the male PC being hetero due to them not changing the gender of your love interest. Then of course the major supporting protag is a quirky Asian lesbian that's totally into gaming and tabletop and and and

I've said it before, but if you want to be progressive with your writing let's see a couple that isn't a pair of young and fresh faced lesbians. I would love to see the mental gymnastics if the romance was a schlubby pair of male neckbeards.
Is Dragon's Dogma AAA? You can go beyond just gay male romance in that. You can marry a midget jester. Every Dragon Age game has also had a gay option for male and female protagonists. Skyrim also had this.

Know who succeeded at what Drunkmann is poorly attempting? Hideaki Itsuno. Nero is basically his OC and was considered a whiny copy of Dante at first. Fast forward to DMC5 and Nero becomes fairly popular. Hell, V subverted expectations better. V also became extremely popular.

People are always asking if Vergil, the antagonist, will be playable in DMC5. Vergil has tried to kill Dante multiple times. Had Abby been given a likeable personality and sympathetic motivations, she could have been Drunkmann's Vergil. The wacky woohoo pizza man series even has a better revenge story.

I think that's taking it too far.

Druckman is just stupid as hell and made the game equivalent of Heaven's gate and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

He's just your standard idiot baka.

Do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny
 
Maybe... The Ghostbusters movie I have my doubts it would be hit even if they did something different or even went with the original cast, I get the feeling it would be yet just another soft reboot of a franchise that has already ran it's course. Probably wouldn't be much of a bomb like the female ghostbusters were, but I would say maybe on the same level as the robocop reboot.

Battlefield V is a better case for the "go woke get broke" deal, althought the Battlefield name had some bad rep with some of their recent games, and also the whole EA deal, the franchise was coming out of a big hit with the WW1 game, and yeah, that reveal trailer had a big impact on how people viewed the game. But I would argue that battlefield already had some stinkers that helped people to jump out of the bandwagon, and for sales alone Battlefield V didn't do "terrible"... but it did sell less than 4 times the previous game.

But I'll be upfront, this ain't a hill I'm up to die on. I think Naughty Dog and Last of Us still have a "clean" brand name to avoid any "get woke go broke", sales wise but if they do, and the game bombs, I'm gonna have a good belly laugh like everybody else. I do not mind being proven wrong at this at all.

Well it won't affect sales in Europe. I mean I love the Brits, but those cucks singlehandedly finance CoD and FIFA sequels every year without fail. That and they're already used to surrendering everything sacred in the name of a sexual emergency, so...

Jokes aside, I dunno. My take is that TLoU isn't popular because of its multiplayer, so the details in the story are substantial to a large amount of people, and something like this could definitely upset a lot of them negatively. I expect there will be defenders in the same way that re.tarded shit like TLJ and GoT Season 8 also have their defenders, but it will be very interesting to see how this is received.
