Jesus Christ, this is not Citizen Kane, it's the Oscar Gold of gaming.

It’s also the most diverse blockbuster of its kind… maybe ever. Ellie is an openly gay protagonist, but there are also trans and ethnic minority characters in leading roles, pushing the boundaries of representation further than any before it. In a medium often as anti-progressive as this one, Part II feels like a big middle finger.

Take that, Gamergaters Natzis!

so is Abby being trans a rumor or not then?

 

[Coldgrip]

I've been thinking, there is perhaps one way to "save", or to be more specific "salvage" TLOU2; reverse the scenario order. They could still have Andy kill Joel and rant about tranny bullshit, but now you have a story of a daughter going out to kill the monster that took her adopted father away from her.

 

[blablabla]

And this is why TLOU1 worked. Character development. So why in the name of sanity does he have to go and stomp all over it and render it all moot by killing them off just to get a cheap shock moment.



Fuck off you fucking pseud.



Reminds me of the infamous horse balls in Red Dead Redemption 2. Does anyone actually notice or care about these things in the long run? Imagine if the work put into these things was put into the writing and the character development that made the first game so highly rated.

Also, "created proactively in their spare time." Lol. That to me sounds like corpo-speak for "compulsory unpaid overtime because the entire development team has been crunching for years."



What exactly does it say, Neil? That you shouldn't bother because a trannybuilder is going to burst out of nowhere and club your old man to death with a sand wedge?

Also, "Part II" because it's an homage to The Godfather. Jesus what a fucking egotist. Francis Ford Coppola was a cinematic genius and Mario Puzo was a better writer than anyone at Sony has any right to call themselves.

holy fuck this moron really did a violence is bad mmmkay story lmao

I like to think she is, bu I have no idea. It seems the press is fine with this idea though.

 

[A_throwaway_name62919]

but there are also trans and ethnic minority characters in leading roles, pushing the boundaries of representation further than any before it.

Confirmation that Abby actually is trans? Or is the transperson going to be the dude with the bow who shoots an arrow into the back of the pregnant bisexual woman?

 

[thesaunderschild]

Trolls are just saying she's a transgender, because she has muscles.

 

[GayestFurryTrash]

You know I'd be less annoyed about this Abby character if every single piece of media surrounding this game wasn't doing everything it could to keep them a complete fucking secret. If anything it shows that ND/Sony have zero confidence in this character or the direction they're taking the story in.

You could totally hint at the fact she/he/they/zir/zee/whatever the fuck I don't really give a shit becomes a playable character and not reveal it's at the most autistic point you possible for the player to being play as them. ND could just be like 'and you'll play as other characters in this game, some of which you may not have the highest opinions of' instead of this ridiculous 'this is 100% Ellie's story and you totally aren't going to be crushing her face in as troon shehulk as the last boss battle in the game' bullshit they're currently doing.

 

[UnclePhil]

Do we think it's going to be Ellie/Dina or is Abby gonna peg that Mexican guy?

Oh, Ellie/Dina. The overall theme for this is gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. No str8 sex allowed.

Also, remember how last time we played an entire game with Ellie she was 14 years old? Not only do we have to see her beaten mostly to death, we probably watch her fuck. Hell, there might even be a 'tastetful' nude where Neil gives her saggy crackhead boobs. A winner is you, Neil.

ND seems like a very healthy workplace. How does someone's stomach rumbling ruin a take? Suck it and keep going, jackass.

Neil has never heard of noise cancelling, which is a basic feature of Audacity.

This reminded me of how there's a Guybrush reference in Uncharted 4 that I didn't get because I've never played a Monkey Island game.

Pretty sure Anita would hate a game like Secret of Monkey Island, Neil, with the whole rescuing Elaine bit. That's a 'Damsel in Distress Trope,' Neil. He even gets the Woman as Reward at the end. Why do you hate women and perpetuate misogyny in gaming?

How do you get PTSD twice?

1. Sneak a video past your parents and watch a lynching.
2. Deal with Twitter mentions calling your game stupid.

Hit me with a Late if this was already mentioned but I just read that ND has another game in development and according to cuckmann it could be either anew IP or TLOU3. Like nani??? Were the leaks possibly from Part 3? Or will Part 3 about being a tranny in an apocalypse?

Part 3 would be pretty ambitious if it's true.

It's like a writer who has never published anything planning a trilogy with multiple spin-offs and spiritual successors.

It's probably a new IP. TLOU franchise is going to be dead to a lot of people and if Cuckman has even a shred of business sense he'll know not to follow a poorly received game with a sequel that will be ripped on right out of the gate.

If he had a shred of business sense he wouldn't straight up murder off Joel with a goddamn golf club with a total nobody and then try to present them as being anything less than a scum-sucking by-the-numbers villain but in fact somehow morally on the same level as Ellie.

Murdering Joel could of been a pivotal and powerful moment that changes something in Ellie, perhaps makes her darker and more like her adopted father, or maybe makes her into someboady that'll bring the law back to the land.

But they blew it.

So I guess you're right.

 

[TruthSeekingDaimon]

The way mediafags are treating anyone critical of the game will only drive people away.

I mean, in the first game he made the actors redo scenes to the point of where they were physically exhausted. Sometimes it'd take literal hours to get one take that Neil liked. Sarah's death scene in particular took two days of shooting and was extremely brutal on both Troy Baker and Hana Hayes, the latter of whom was only 11 years old during filming.

Oh boy, I can't wait to hear how long it took Joel's death scene to take.

 

[Zaryiu]

Naughty Dog and Sony keep digging themselves a bigger hole that they have now seeped into the 8th layer of hell, with no hope of reaching the surface again, and I thought Lucasfilm and Disney were bad.

Is it only Sony of America and Europe behind this bullshit or is Sony of Japan giving the marching orders?

 

[verissimus]

Aparently he and some teenage friends used to abuse a mentally challenged kid back in the day and it involved penis stuff. Awful person, and Niel is cut from that same pathetic cloth.

....how, never mind why do you know this?

Trolls are just saying she's a transgender, because she has muscles.

Yeah...so did a number of 90s female comic book characters (looking at you Black Cat) and nobody complained about that.
