Please tell me she isn't fucking the druckman self insert character. I don't think I could handle such impudence
Nah. From a previous screenshot it looks like some dude named Owen that Abby took a picture with. He's just a whitey soy boy.

This is a big problem with modern day games (and media, if you look at shit like Fembusters). There's a lot of bullshit with diversity token one note characters who have nothing interesting about their character besides "I'm character name and I'm X".

Look at Human Head's Prey from 2006, back before the great big diversity pushes. That game's somewhat forgotten about especially since the sequel was sadly canned thanks to internal politics at Bethesda and their relationship with Human Head. But it was an example of a diverse character/setting done right. You're a Native American burnt out at living a dead end life at a shithole highway bar run by his family on the reservation. The first 5-10 minutes of the game involve your character hating his life there and wanting to escape it, feeling like his heritage is holding him back and the chief (IIRC) trying to convince him his heritage is important. Then UFOs hit, the bar gets sucked up by the alien spacecraft, and the chief is brutally killed by said aliens. You then end up discovering Native American powers that not only end up becoming a core gameplay mechanic but the writing also involves the protagonist actually discovering his heritage and faith with said mechanic.

They actually reached out to Native Americans and took notes on their culture, and had them voice act the main characters. The game ended up being perhaps one of the most unique takes on a culture that's mostly depicted as "Cowboys and Indians" and that's what makes that game stand out. It helped that the game you know, had good gameplay/graphics as well to appeal to a mainstream audience. You don't see games with writing like that anymore, instead you get shit like ME:A's "I'm Trans" character instead or itch.io games whining about how life sucks.

Yeah, its a very used self-defense mechanism. Actual diversity is difficult to pull off because you have to include it from the beginning and the majority of the time it is an afterthought. Prey was an interesting game. Sad the remake didn't include that.

You forgot to mention the supposed Druckmann self-insert that also hates Joel.

I mean, if there's not enough evidence of Druckman's massive, pathetic inferiority complex, there's that. I edited it and put it in.
 
The Saw series by comparison is at least fun. Saw 1-3 is a pretty enjoyable ride and Saw 4 has a neat little twist.
Edit: Would also like to add that almost everyone associated with Saw has made a pretty good movie afterwards. Darren Lynn Bousman made Repo The Genetic Opera which was a pretty good musical, The guys behind Saw V made The Collector which was a pretty neat horror film, Leigh Wannel made Upgrade which was a fantastic action film, and James Wan went on to make The Conjuring which was also a pretty decent horror film. A fucking Z grade horror movie with no budget ushered in more talent than Naughty Dog with billions of dollars. How pathetic.
.............I hope that God sends the Covenant to glass us

As long as I get a qt Sangheli wife then sure I'm with you.

This game is for Neil Druckman. If you're asking: "Why?" the answer is because its for him. There's no narrative to this game, because it only makes sense in his mind. This isn't for anyone but him.

He took 100 million dollars of corporate funds and made a game for him only while pretending he was making a pop culture product. Its not for SJWs, its not for us. It is only for Neil Druckman.

I am not exaggerating. This is a game he built for himself and no one else. The evidence is blatant.
The absolute mad lad
 
Who even played the first one, it was fucking awful.
Bound to get a third installment this will print money

At this point, I doubt it.

Matter of fact, I'm calling it. This is going to be one of the biggest bombs in video game history and possibly the biggest video game flop of the 2020's unless EA decides to do a woke reboot of Custer's Revenge some time in the next decade.

The Last of Us Part 2 is going to sink like the Lusitania. At best, it'll make enough on pre-orders to break even.

The Last of Us Part 1 hasn't really held up too well in hindsight, but it makes sense why it did as well as it did back in 2013.

It's very much the kind of game that taps into that early-mid 2010's cultural zeitgeist and the kind of game that could only work in the brief era that came after Occupy Wall Street but before "Current Year" really began in earnest. The first game came out when The Walking Dead was at its peak of popularity and The Hunger Games was really big.

At the same time, it's also the kind of game that'll age badly as the 2010's becomes farther away, much like the trenchcoats and sunglasses of The Matrix were awesome in the late 90's but would be mocked if the movie came out today.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S A TROON FOR REAL

This is golden. This is fucking golden. Not even early puberty female boobs look like that. What the fuck is wrong with you Neil? How is this in a AAA game? What did Anita say to you for it to get to this level?

This is how one of the most revered games in modern history dies, with golfing and troon sex :lit::lit::lit:

Honest to god question, is she supposed to be FtM? Because I was under the impression that this is a zombie apocalypse. So I have no idea where she's getting testosterone or a boob reduction. Are those boobs just supposed to be natural?

I mean, I guess you have to laugh. The guy took 100 million dollars of Sony's money, pretended to be 'diverse' and just made a masturbation fantasy for himself shilling how amazing he was, how shit the other characters and writers were. It takes some balls. Hope it was worth burning a career down for though.

Also lol Sony for letting this happen.

The answer ND says is no, but Abby was obviously was meant to be before they changed their mind. Or rather someone changed it. Maybe Druckman did because he didn't want to draw too much attention or that was when he had other creatives to hold him back just a tiny bit.

But no, those are quite clearly pecs and not female breasts.

Well Prey (the Bethesda one) wasn't even a remake, it had a different premise entirely. Essentially Prey 2 got canned because Bethesda wanted to buy out Human Head since they were one of the few devs who knew how to use the engine from their latest purchase (id Software) and Human Head refused. So Bethesda gave them crazy goals to meet and Human Head responded by timing out the contract. They simply gave the name to Arkane (known for Dishonored) and they ended up making a completely different game about mimics and some crazy mindfuck plot that had nothing to do with the original besides being on a space station.

From what I saw in a comment on YT by a Prey 2 dev, the protagonist of the first was going to reappear later on in the game.
