it still blows me away that Joel and Tommy, who lived more than 20 years into this horrible world, living both as the "good guys" and "bad guys" and every role in between, would lower their guard so badly against a group of strangers. Tommy probably could give them the benefit of the doubt, since he is a better person than Joel but Joel would definetly tell his brother they gotta get the hell out when dealing with a group they barely know asap. You dont give your names, you dont go into their hideout where you are surrounded and trapped, you save the tranny, tip your hat and ride back to your safe community constantly looking back to make sure you arent being followed.
Its hilarious how they had to turn them into morons for this to happen.

Edit:

Trevor's also offset by the other two characters who are also more level-headed and sane. You also get the sense that nobody likes him and only has him around because they're terrified of him otherwise. Trevor's so insane and over-the-top that you aren't supposed to "like" him as a traditional character, not like Abby where the game is expecting you to sympathize with her even as she kills Joel.

Trevor was a far more complex character in GTA 5 than any TLOU character. Trevor wasnt meant to be sympathetic but not exactly too monstrous to the point you feel disgusted to control him. Trevor does show he is VERY fucked in the head given a lot of trauma and abandoment issues he clearly suffers from (he takes betrayal extremely hard) but he is still at the very least a loyal friend if you are loyal to him. If Franklin suggest they kill Micheal, Trevor gets pissed at the mere suggestion and cuts all ties with him and he does show interest at patching things up with Micheal when Franklin calls him over (he was thinking Franklin was calling him to convince him to patch things up with Micheal). And hey, he was trying to convince that beta to stand up against his shitty wife (at this point in my life, Im glad he kills them both) so Trevor is a complex character, he is clearly not a good person but there are worse people in the GTA universe without a doubt.

The End was infamously going to take you two weeks real time to fight him. In the original draft of Snake Eater you could not kill The End. You had to wait for his cancer to kill him and that was the only way.

He was told this wasn't going to work for anyone who would play the game, but his team offered an easter egg compromise and the end result was the more conventional boss battle followed by the two weeks option.

I thought you killed The End with a shotgun?

 

[Personal Jesus]

The fact that big titties are offensive, looking at the girl they modelled Dinah after with her awesome Khazar milkers

Not only the milkers, she's just ugly compared to the real actress. All women in this game are intentionally designed to be ugly/unattractive, it seems.

How reliable is that /v/ thread, cause it seems too... not /v/ to be totally made up.

I don't think we know. Someone was talking about spoilers that had been posted to reddit, and mentioned the source was a deleted /v/ thread that the redditors hadn't archived, so I took a minute to look up a 4chan archive so people could see the thread and make their own decision.

So take it with a grain of salt. As it stands, it's funny that the game is such a shit show that such an awful ending is plausibly real. If it's actually real, that's just even funnier.

Hatred
But if I remember you can't kill dogs in it (you can give them treats tho then they attack people for you)
Or that may be postal, I can't remember
The better question, is there a game that goes to this level of edge while playing as a mutilating torturing protag?
This has dog killing, making people beg for their lives, and torturing the protagonists, then killing one in front of the other
Even the edgy games where you play as a public shooter, they draw the line generally at animals and don't really give characters you kill deep and beloved backstories

Postal 2 is the one with the dog biscuits.

Just how does Abby know for sure Joel is the guy? It's just too convenient and killing every guy named Joel is too dumb, in that kind of setting I find it hard to believe that she would actually find Joel and know for sure it's the guy who killed her insane father or does he mention it? "lolz yeah I once killed that random faggot doctor". If she is killing every guy named Joel it means there's no photos nor videos of him, nothing, Joel did nothing wrong, he did everything correct, legally, everything was right and now he gets fucked dood.

There's no universe where Abby gets accepted as a likeable character, there shouldn't be but then again we live in a universe where Nu Star Wars actually has fans, stuff like Volcano Lava School or High or whatever furry shit that was gets into a Sony PS5 presentation and looneys are harrasing people for not sharing a dumbass hashtag so I really don't fucking know anymore.

By the way, if that's truly the ending I really don't see how are they going to do the sequel, there's just nowhere to go.

Let's be perfectly clear on this: based on how it's all presented, Abby kills everyone named Joel. It's so fucking dumb, only a fart huffer like Druckman would think it's clever and well written.

Can you gas jews and enslave blacks? Raping children also works.
When they let you do fun stuff look for the best amount of fun.

True. I honestly don't get that idea personally. Some women are attractive and have big tits. There is nothing wrong with that. Hopefully this shit doesn't last too long. I want attractive women in my games.

And going back to the dog killing thing, even Bethesda made it so your canine companion in Fallout 4, Dogmeat, couldn't be killed because they heard so many people would reload old saves if their dog was killed in the older Fallout games.

They added in the perk puppies, so you could always get the dog back. Depending on how it goes, we could get some super uncomfortable dog killing. The kind that just makes you uninstall the game.

Sibling pre-ordered it. This should be fun to watch.

 

[Ruin]

It still slays me Druckman had seven years and the best he could come up with is "dude revenge is bad lmao." Cuckman is the kind of hack that makes Uwe Boll and M Night look like creative geniuses.

Two co-workers of mine absolutely loved the first game and already have TLOU2 pre-loaded. I told them not to buy it but they still did, though I warned them against watching The Last Jedi, TRoS, and Dexter post S4 so they don't seem to learn.

I think she knew it was the right Joel because his brother is Tommy, who used to be one of the Fireflies so they would presumably know who he was. Killing every Joel who had a brother named Tommy narrows it down a little.

I think it's plausible, but the game did a terrible job explaining it.

Uwe Boll also knew when to throw in the towel. He eventually left the movie industry and instead he and his wife are actually successful small time restaurateurs.

But more on topic, the only reason the game is even getting released NOW is because of the massive leak. Imagine if the leak didn't happen - TLOU2 had a non-zero chance of being the next vaporware game after Halflife 3.

Naw, this shit would have released regardless. Sony isn't going to flush dozens of millions down the toilet.

I mean he looked at the spoilers months ago. Even seemed a bit discouraged by it. But he's still getting it anyway.

I'm almost tempted to play it myself. I don't have to pay for it after all and as a bonus I get to see firsthand how awful this will be. Only thing really stopping me is that I didn't like the gameplay of the first one and I don't really want more of that.

 

[Dang Woodchucks!]

On one hand, I agree with you.

On the other, I would suggest you don't jinx it.

In reality, it's already too late and Druckman is going full "A Serbian Film" for the finale.

ETA: if you don't know, don't look it up.

 

[Fuzhou]

I'm gonna rent it from a local place and run thru it.

Well maybe he thinks it'll be worth laughing at so at least he may not be actually thinking it will be good, seems to maybe have more sense than my co-workers. I would play it if Redbox still rented games, I basically never buy Sonys first party games since they can be beaten in like 2 days and almost never have any replay value. Used to rent them from Redbox for 2 days, beat them, then return. Badabing played the game for a whopping 1/10 of the price.

Serbian Film at least has some (very dark) comedy in it and is so absurd that it can't be taken seriously and it's pretty clearly not being taken 100% seriously by the director. TLOU2 seems to actually want to be taken seriously.

Nah, he's still interested in how it's going to play out and he's a big fan of the first so he feels like he has to see what comes next.
