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

I have to admit that I don't get what the problem is with her design, she looks like a woman who does physical work for a living, people are acting like she's one of those oiled up 200 pound bodybuilders when she just looks normal to me.
Her arms are too big for her frame and she lacks even the curving of the woman who mocapped her, as mannish as she was too.
 
She has the body of a thirteen year old boy who spends all of his time shouting racial and homophobic slurs on Call of Duty.
So an average Black Ops player, then...
Given the absurdity of the plot and having learned cordyceps can give ants super muscles... We might as well accept this monstrosity is hopped up on some cordycep fuel because apparently in this hellish world you can survive gunshots and deliver healthy babies that might have taken an arrow, why not ignore the ever present threat too?

And a silly thought crossed my mind: If the first game had Joel lose Sarah and then gain Ellie as a daughter... Does that mean Ellie losing Joel will have her adopting an old man?
Ellie finding post-apocalyptic Joe Biden would probably make the third a must buy.
I know this was posted already, but...

This has been such an amazing shitshow. I'm still not 100% on who leaked it, but I can only applaud the sheer chaos it's brought. If it wasn't an employee, ND looks like shit for crunch and not stopping all the dumb shit Cuckman added to the story. If it was elite haxxors, it just shows that Sony is and will always be their bitch. How many project have hackers ruined for Sony? They lost a ton of money, had their pre-orders cancelled and become this month's biggest laughingstock :story:

I'd feel bad for the people who do the actual gameplay parts if this wasn't just a movie with the occasional interactive segment.

Update on that article, the Ellie Edition is sold out again.
The fuck is an "Ellie edition"?
the memes coming from this will be out of this world glorious. I'm shuddering with antici...
*screaming from the cheap seats* Say it!

Halo Infinite if it gets a story like TLOU2: Chief gets killed by a transgender brute at the beginning of the game, you then play as that brute and go and beat Arbiter and his pregnant boyfriend up, killing one of them, then you go and actually kill Cortona even though shes proven to be pretty much unkillable, and if you don't like this story you're a bigoted racist sexist transhobe.
Wasn't Halo 4's story awful in this regard? I remember there being a new breed of SPARTANs who were all completely unlikeable. One of them even killed the protag from ODST and faced no ramifications for it

Nah, Halo 4's story wasn't that bad. The worst thing about it was how many books it required to understand the Didact's motivation and backstory.

Also, The Rookie (the protag from ODST) was killed off-screen by a Human Insurrectionist Captain in the book Halo: New Blood.

In my honest opinion, the Spartan IV's issue wasn't that they were overly offensive compared to the Spartan IIs (Master Chief, Blue Team, Jorge, etc.), it was that most of them were too bland. Buck and his squad (not his Halo 5 squad, his original squad he reunites with in Halo: Helljumper) are the exceptions, but they were originally created by Bungie.

Ironic then, that the same group of unpleasant fuckers who claim to want that shit went on to successfully get Block Lives Matter, a shooting game specifically about the Media's response to tragedy, and which effectively centers around a bunch of cubes, removed from every platform it existed on, specifically by repeatedly sending death threats to the developer, because that's what a well-adjusted human being does.

Needless to say, I have it on JaimArchive if you want it.
I know this is a bit late, but your first archive is just a "we collect your data" message and clicking agree sends you nowhere
 
Honestly, I've been doing (admittedly, light) research on cordyceps and I'm starting to think Drunkman literally slapped his name on other people's work, specially in the first game.

Apparently, this thing goes way beyond simply hijacking an ant's brain and making it act weird until it's ready to pop out the corpse; things down to the celular level are played with and chemically fucked with by the fungus and played with so that the organism functions with single-minded, laser focus to spread the infection. Host's fitness level are cranked to the highest possible, and the fungus interferes with it's immune system to make it better; if an ant catches Cordyceps, it basically turns into its equivalent to a Terminator... but y'know, organic instead of a cool, killer robot.

A Cordyceps that adapts to fucking with vertebrates, and humans in particular is unleaded nightmare fuel. As in, I don't think Armored Deathfats were anywere close to the endgame of the fungus, this thing is evil and smart.

Druckmann obviously didn't have any input over this, and it fucking sucks there is a 100% chance whoever had the original idea fucked off and no one will tap that vein.

Really, so the ant becomes stronger, faster?

Jesus, the male head actually fits her body so much better. It's unreal how much ND fucked up the character design.

I had a thought regarding that interview that got posted a few days back with the "What if X was a girl?" character design line. What if Abby's gender got swapped in the name of wokeness immediately after that restructuring that drove out the original writer? Assuming the game was well in production at that time you'd assume some of the motion capture/rigging work would've already been done, and if you've got all those cleaned animations that only work with male physiology, why not just give the new female protagonist male musculature and make her really buff and beefy so they can still use all the mocap/cleanup they've already done? Nobody will notice and it surely won't make her look like a gross tranny in any way or look absolutely terrible in the finished product!

Basically it becomes the incredible hulk but with a coof.

it would be like madcow dissease but the infected cow gets roided up overnight and the muscles burst through the skin and as it rampages it's spreading the infection through fluids. Eventually it burns out all it's energy reserves and dies, that's how the cordyceps works.

There's a ton of hypothetical scenarios where parasitic diseases can wreak havoc on the human body. But anything that causes a sudden and drastic mutation would require the host to consume food in large quantities and a hormonal surge would incur like in puberty but instead of over the course of years it would be all at once. It's one of the reasons why in vertebrates things like that don't really happen, There's so many other systems involved and outside of the odd brain amoeba, most human borne parasites stay in the intestinal tract or bury under the skin.

Having a fungus control the human nervous system is unheard of due to how it's laid out compared to insects. Insects like grasshoppers have their heart pump blood to the back of the body like you would slosh water around and that's what makes it work because bug internals are like water balloons. Humans have things far more compartmentalized with their guts and internal workings.

Are you really surprised someone very publicly attached to this is gonna come out and try and salvage it? He was never going to come out and admit the games shit, even if he personally believes it. Wait a few months/years to hear his actual thoughts on it.
