Is the grim dark "You are killing doggos" approach gonna help game sales? A friend suggested it would based on shock value. What do you guys think?

It won't help. A snarling dog trying to kill you, like in CoD or other games, that can be accepted as a sad but necessary part of fighting. Sadistically killing dogs while their owners cry out for them, that's cruelty for cruelty's sake and will turn off a lot of people from buying.

Not from a tone perspective, but adding another enemy type will add depth to the combat scenarios, from a puddle to a slightly deeper puddle.

But I remember ND saying this same thing 2(?) years ago when the first cut of gameplay was released. If bandits calling out for Pibbles is big gameplay feature you've introduced for the sequel, you fucked up.

-This is how the the original song sounds like.

- Lotte's cover. Now if you compare it to TLOU commercial it's obvious they copied her arrangement

Not only that, if you search "Lotte Kestner True Faith" on youtube you'll see a bunch of TLOU videos claiming it's from the official OST when the artist wasn't involved.
Regardless if this was a cover and she doesn't own the rights to the song it's still a shitty thing to do imo

Heartbroken BTW

BETTER PAY UP CUCKMAN. Stealing from a poor woman and breaking her heart. Typical misogynist kike.

What does a twangy acoustic cover of a new wave song about heroin addiction have to do with mushroom zombies. It's like they saw Ellie playing the guitar and just grabbed the first sad sounding acoustic guitar number they dug up online and podged it in there.

All game trailers now have to have a moody remix of a popular song from 20-50 years ago.

That's me getting upset because some dude made a video game where you can burn an imaginary dog?

...well it sure as shit isn't describing me because I didn't even know you were talking about burning dogs. No one gives a shit about Druckmann's game.

It's a dude forcing you to burn a dog slowly while he laughs and calls you sick.

Wth even is the appeal to this "grim dark" crap? Like really. At least in say something like say Twilight Princess, Lord of the Rings, or say Disney's the Hunchback of Notre Dame things can go from light-hearted gay revelry to dark every now and then, but with this kind of crap it's sort of the opposite. It's like the "light" are just pauses in between from the story getting "darker". I don't understand it.

This is actually one of the reasons I grew to detest GoT, because there wasn't any point of caring about the characters whether its because they got killed off or because the plot required some dumb "shock" value death/betrayal. That and making every third character a jaded cynical asshole.

Much like comic books in the 90's, I think this is another resurgence of immature hacks conflating "realism" with "bleakness, violence, and gratuitous gore".

These morons do understand the real world is also pretty mundane most of the times right. Of course, every sane person knows that would be too boring to sit through if they actually wanted to depict the "real world".

Consider their locations and already admitted worldview: primarily east-coast authoritarian lickspittles with egos large enough to have an atmosphere, self-importance so inflated even Dobson would balk at it, and vindictive streaks that moonlight as interstate freeways. I'm going to go out on a limb and say their grasp on the world of their "lessers" is tenuous at best.

True Faith didn't deserve to be associated with this.

Too sexualized.

Also too white.

Also too white.

The only time a white woman can be a strong independent character that can be looked up to is after she's been raped. Haven't you learned anything?

I wish I could rate this post late and dumb at the same time, for your shitty bait was days after the relevant topic and covered already.

I'm of the belief that you need those slight flashes of light, those things that show that for all of the grimderp, there is a hope or a way to take you from it. You need those little bits of lightness and nobility to contrast the horror around you.

The current crop of hacks seem to just be miserable morons who fail to get this basic idea.

Also if she is obese.
