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

Seeing the ending in the context of the beginning really makes me hate this story. Ellie sacrifices a romantic partner, a family (Tommy and company), her friends, and a WHOLE-ASS TOWN where you can watch movies and people can afford to offer you steak sandwiches as apology for being a "bigot."

Here's a reminder that Ellie's greatest fear is being alone: DruckCuck designed the plot to reach that point in the most miserable way possible. Alone, in a crack shack, in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but a guitar she can't play. Fuckin A.

I take solace in the fact that Druckmann's game will be a case study on bad game writing, and his legacy will be that of a hack.

It's the exact same thing. Ellie is Nate, Abby is Nadine. Both Abby and Nadine beat the shit out of the protagonist and they don't die at the end, they leave the place on a boat.

Nadine is a hired gun, neither of them really give a shit about the other beyond annoyance at them getting in the other's way which is why she walks away at the end.

Abby brutally murdered Ellie's adoptive father and nearly killed her lesbian lover.

I cackled

EDIT: This is going to be a complete PR calamity for Sony. How do websites walk back on giving the most hated game since Mass Effect 3 wall-to-wall perfect scores? How will Sony deal with Naughty Dog, their A-star developer, spending 100 million and 7 years on a bucket of shit?

I hate to give Druckman credit (although how much he actually contributed to the plot of UC4 other than gender swapping characters to appease Anita), but Nadine escaping on the boat at the end kind of fits in with the overall theme of the last half of the game which is all about knowing when to walk away. Which is why Sam nearly kills himself trying to go get pirate booty, and Rafe does kill himself with pirate booty.

They're going to close the studio and offload the properties to some of their other studios like how they're already doing with Jak.

I mean you realize that both Insomniac and Suckerpunch are both putting out games on the same level as ND's best.

"The subject matter was so... mature that it made me want to die. Until I realized that surely I had already died, for I was in gaming heaven." -Giant Bomb, 5 Stars

"After beating a dog to death with a framed photo in a harrowing three minute long sequence punctuated by splat sounds and plaintive whimpers, my character fell to her knees and inspected the framed photo. It depicted the dog being hugged by its owner in happier times. It was at this moment that I realized killing dogs was wrong. Is this the first video game to teach such a powerful lesson so skillfully?" -Trusted Reviews, 5 Stars


"At one point I had to kill a young enemy scout with the detached head and neck of a giraffe. Afterwards, in a powerful moment, Ellie realized it was the giraffe from the first Last of Us. In a more powerful moment, Ellie realized the giraffe's neck was tattooed with the words, 'I BET THAT KID HAD A FAMILY'." -PlayStationGamerUnbiased, 10/10

Because the graphics look so good the story is more good too. By wringing so much out of the PS4's hardware, Naughty Dog also wrings every ounce out of the player's soul's software." -Comicbook.com(???), 5 out of 5

Looking back on the original reveal. I wonder how much changed from this. Looks like Cuckman got his way from this point.

Also they went back and turned off comments on a three year old video lol

HE FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED THE STORY SO HE COULD HATE-FUCK ALL THE CHARACTERS :story:
THIS IS WHY IT TOOK 7 YEARS.

If Crowbcat doesn't come back for this, I'm taking this bad boy head on. This is just too golden of a fuck-up.
