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

I wanted to see how the game journos were spinning this game as a masterpiece. Wasn't disappointed at all to see the rotting corpse of Electronic Gaming Monthly use it as an excuse to talk current events.

Gaming industry is so desperate to be given the same shallow praise as film. This feels like the film equivalent to 2004's Crash, a similarly overwrought shallow experience that ended up winning "Best Picture" due to a lack of competition.
I bet you next month the other Sony exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima, will be seen as problematic in some way. They desperately want this game to succeed. Getting 10/10 by mainstream journalists.
 
No Man's Sky documented troubles showed that Sony as a publisher will help ease major problems that arise to an extent(i.e. the last minute sticker put on the package that blocked off any mention of multiplayer). But after the game is released it lives and dies by it's own merits. If the leak did not happen the rumored course of actionwas that the project was going to be handed off to another studio to fix who had experience in the same genre(possibly Santa monica or Guerrilla) and issued refunds shortly after, but the leak happened so quickly and so sudden that they abandoned those plans. if the leak did not happen the game would have been shelved and reworked for another year and a half.

People may compare it to Death Stranding but Kojima allowed Sony product placement to reduce production costs and be given more leeway and the game did wind up turning a profit and selling well. Kojima also regularly showed new builds.

When the refunds were issued that was a big sign that they knew it was shit.
I wonder if the second ‘indefinitely delayed’ release date was Sony looking to take advantage of the Coronavirus delays and trying to step in and salvage the product as best they could (i.e. how a studio might feel like recutting a movie might help it at the box office)?

The leaks are the best thing that could have happened to this game, as I think we’re hopefully going to get the Druckman version of the game in likely its entirety. There won’t be a ‘Snyder Cut’ excuse to hide behind IMO.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't his troon sex scene result in the game no being able to be sold due an A/O rating by the ESRB, I mean clothed sex that was left unused in GTA SA was enough to get it an A/O rating leading to it being pulled from stores

I wonder if it appears in the final cut of the game? Might have been hastily cut out at the last moment, thought I hope not.

isn't last of us a post apocalyptic video game? why would it make sense to have a passing trans man? if the world goes tomorrow the first thing people would be raiding is pharmacies supplies of any meds would be scarce at best and gone by the time line of last of us 2. I'm okay with diversity in a story that makes sense but not cool with diversity shoe horned in for the sake of it alone. I'm not mad I'm just confused.
Or someone with that level of muscle, for that matter. You telling me she's lugging protein powder around AND cutting for vascularity any time she's on screen? Druckmann has no idea how muscle development works.

My raging hateboner for the overratedness of the first game feels so vindicated now.

It has tranny sex. If you say anything remotely bad with that in it, you are considered a bigot.

I think the metascore and user reviews are going to be amazing.

i swear, as a fan of the original and being disappointed at first about this game, I‘m absolutely enjoying the Shitposting and jabs at Druckmann’s writing
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the poor people working on the nightmarish troon sex scene had to watch actual gay porn because realism.
„Mister Druckmann, is it really necessary for us to watch 30 hours of gay and transsexual porn? I mean, the gore stuff is somewhat understandable but this..“

„SHUT UP STUPID GOY, YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS FEMALE PENIS AND ANIMATE IT REALISTICALLY“

And it's not going to be the case of "angry entitled gamers" review bombing it, there will be a genuine divide on this game and how good it is. Learning all the plot points and how much of a shit show it turned out to be is one thing, but listening to internet reviewers with early access say that there is virtually no changes in gameplay from the first one really doesn't sell the game for me. You guys at ND had 7 years and you did almost nothing gameplay wise?
 
A deep kiss and cut to black before seeing the characters under a blanket would convey the same romantic tone without resorting to hideous nude models that make the audience creeped out when they see them
That wouldn't be stunning and brave. 👏 THIS 👏 IS 👏 NEEDED 👏 IN 👏 TRUMPS 👏 AMERIKKKA👏 People need to get over their bigotry and accept sex with trans women like any other People of Fronthole
