It's 100% this.
I'm expecting a larger meltdown than when Lawbreakers and Radical Heights both blew up in Cliffy B's face.

What did Ellie tell jaws when taking a shot? Brace for it!
Good! That means we don't need a dog whistle!

Someone actually wrote that "Dogs" text completely unironically. This is the kind of shit that would make whoever wrote the opening monologue for "Hatred" say "don't cut yourself on that edge bro."

Misery porn can be okay though when done right. Look at the manga Berserk.
TLoU2 is clearly some mishmash of ideas that could be great on their own but they conflict with each other when crammed together by shit story-telling by some idiot too high on his own farts.

Something that really sucks about this whole situation (outside of the other ocean of things that suck about this whole situation) is that now its going to be trending to pick on the Last of us, the original game that is. I feel like its going to be the hipster thing to hate on the first game and perhaps even the Uncharted games ("ND was so much better when they did Jak and Daxter and etc"). Its not going to be done for real but because its just going to be "cool kids" thing to do. The Last of Us Part 2 deserves it, the original and Uncharted games (perhaps minus 4) do not deserve it. Its okay to not dislike them but to announce the world that you never liked them as if you are expecting a trophy is something extremely r.etarded.

It does make me glad I never got into the original though, or I'd be genuinely angry to see a turd like Schmuckmann smear his tard shit all over it.

Watching people mock the hell out of this crappy emotional manipulation shit is great.
Also, all the NPCs have names and their friends whil cry when you kill them.
Seriously.

On an unrelated topic, I wish Konami would get its head out of its ass and greenlight Revengence 2.

Yeah that "art is suffering" trend from the edgelords is annoying. You'd think sony would look over at something like animal crossing and think, "hey we should do something like that" instead of giving barista-material the keys to the castle.

You know, I felt bad for killing a dog in RDR2. Why? Because I decided to rob some rando‘s house, killed him, and realized that there is his dog that started to attack me out of protection of it’s owner, not because it sniffed me out on purpose.
While I understand that in post apocalypse dogs are handy af, guard dogs first alert you that you’re going into it’s territory and only if you keep going it’ll attack you. Or dogs owner comes out because he herd dog‘s barking. If dogs were trained to hunt down and kill, no way someone will feel bad for killing it. Last thing I want for Ellie is to get rabies or some other infection from bite of crazy ass dog.

I can actually talk about this a lot. Bioshock Infinite is interesting both from a story perspective, as well as an FPS perspective and gameplay design one.
The whole game is (spoilers) about fate and the few constants. In video games, the player is always controlling things from the head down. People may talk about "choices" and the like, but unless you're playing a tabletop game or something choices aren't actually real. What IS real is the actions that you do, so any game that goes "oooh choices and multiple endings" is not entirely telling the truth, as in most cases your choice doesn't really matter.
It was also a criticism of other games in the same genre. There's always a man, a gun, and an enemy, just like the game goes about lighthouses and stuff. The game was also criticizing how because the player must be able to DO things inherently prevents games from being introspective or smart on a certain level because, like Spec Ops, you HAVE to do the thing the game will inevitably criticize you for.
It's similar in a way to why, in the end of Telltale's TWD Season 1, the guy has to go "hey that's my stuff you stole a while ago" because otherwise there isn't a way to have the player be responsible for their decisions.

Bioshock Infinite is a Metacommentary on Game Narrative
Kevin Wong takes a closer look at Bioshock Infinite's themes and how they related to game narrative and the ludology-narratology debates of yore.

The DeanBeat: BioShock Infinite is art trapped in a violent video game
WATCH OUT FOR SPOILERS has become a familiar warning in discussions about Irrational's big game. THIS POST HAS SPOILERS, TOO.
BioShock Infinite’s extreme violence is completely valid
A growing number of industry voices claim BioShock Infinite's extreme, gory violence hurts the game, but it's integral to the message Infinite wants to send.
Reading The Game: Bioshock Infinite
It's a simple premise — a guy, a girl, a gun and a debt to repay — but in Bioshock Infinite it becomes a mind-bending story about politics, oppression, change and sacrifice. Set in a flying city.
