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

It's OK to dislike the game without pretending virtual doggy murder is upsetting you, jfc.

People have always been squeamish about dog deaths because doggos are inherently innocent. They don't ask for or assume anything. Killing human trash mobs is different because they are making a conscious choice to be a dick to you. Killing a zombie is ending its suffering.

It would have been fine enough, albeit odd, if these were just feral dogs going for your throat or Resident Evil zombie canines. But these dogs aren't either of those. They are grieving owners' pets, so Neil is that much more of an asshole for forcing you to be a monster. For the "experience" of course.
 
Any of this shit could have been made without dogs. People don't bat an eye at attacking other people, especially in this kind of a setting. But dogs add nothing and are just there for torture-porn reasons. It's disgusting.
But the dogs can track your scent!!!!

...Even though they'll still follow alongside NPCs anyways so it ends up meaning jack shit unless you specifically walk up to and provoke them for fun. In which case, it's not some raving lunatic bulldog out to rip your flesh and bones off that'll attack you unprovoked like they tried to make it out to be earlier in the video, he's trying to defend its master; of fucking course it'd try to maul you if you intend on harming them.

But all of the dog attacks and dog burnings shown off here are meant tomake you feel uncomfortable and in-your-face. Except, y'know, when they had to run to self-censor the doggo burning because you can't really allow that shit on YouTube even if you are a huge company because, shocker: YouTube doesn't want to be associated with puppy murder.
 
I really do wonder what sort of Lovecraftian horrors Druckman has stored in his computer. No one is this hyper fixated on hurting animals and then advertising it as a core feature or accomplishment in their fucking game.

The worst part of watching that new video today was watching all the shills in the comments dissing the "haters". It reeks of soy and they don't even know what they're defending. It's not just shitty writing and characters, it's Druckman being creepy as fuck and injecting it into the game for shits and giggles.

>"You can't tell how shit the graphics are in this dark lighting :biggrin:"
>Literally shows you outside, indoors, in an alley, in a partial forest, underwater, on horseback in a field, behind houses, in a glass-heavy area, and literally anywhere is where lighting is a factor in the first minute of gameplay alone.


Related: horrible graphics or not, that doesn't explain why the game still looks like it's chugging at around 10-15 FPS in low terrain/environmental areas like the pool area right before the girl with the Vita. This is supposedly running on a PS5, at the very least a PS4 Pro, or whatever Ghosts of Tsushima was using. And yet while a massive open-world game with much more intensive loads on it at all times like Ghost of Tsushima still rand fairly smooth at around 40-60 FPS, an arena/tunnel game like TLoU2 is struggling.

What comments? Sony blocks them all due to being a bunch of dishonest pussies.
 
This "poor doggie" faggotry is making me smash my bloody face on the table. I hate to defend Cuckmann or his abortion child of a game, but let's make this clear.

You're not dealing with innocent people, we are talking about scavengers and mother-mary-knows-who in the post-apocalyptic world who have dogs that can bite into you/get you killed any given chance. Why would anyone give a shite if the dogs have owners or not when it comes to "you or them" situation? Let's fucking bitch about all the german shepherds who got massacred by Blazkowicz and had their necks snapped in Cock Of Doodie while we are at it, because they are "oh so inherently innocent!"

All I can agree with is that this attempt at guilt-tripping you seems presented poorly with a bad taste, but nobody is telling you to "torture" them dogs, it's not like you're dissecting poor bloke's pet alive and forcing him to watch, for chrissakes.

And all of this is coming from someone who loves animals himself.

EDIT: I do realize that reaction is probably going towards the shitty motivation behind it, just thought that some of you kind of overreacted here. If I got any of you wrong, I am sorry for misunderstanding.

It's still a little bizarre coming from a developer literally called "Naughty Dog" who used to have pet dogs in their offices to suddenly be killing dogs in a game, is it not?

It's like Druckmann is sending a message of how much he actually hates Naughty Dog, this whole thing reeks of self sabotage.

No preference between the two actually.

This is just stupid nitpicking now. Plenty of games have dogs as enemies, doesn't make people who made them dog-haters. Rolling back a bit, as bad as presentation goes, the point is to make you feel guilty for killing the pet or the owner in its presence, not go "lel, I can burn dog".

Mad white girls would rather fuck them than you?
 
I don’t care if they make you kill dogs in the game, it’s how they’re doing it. The fact that the want to pull this “omg how could you that dog trying to tear your throat out had a family you monster” is what makes me thinks is fucked up of them. It’s not about a type of enemy to fight, it’s about them wanting to finger wag at you while cramming their hilarious blatent “message” down your throat.

Agreed. Maybe I am just getting folks the wrong way here (if so, my apologies), but I found some stuff people said on the issue to be dumb, hence why I made that post.
