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

God teach me your analysis and writing ways Asshole-senpai.

Its so strange to see that evwn though Druckman came up with TLoU as a concept, he can't stand the taint of other writers, even on his own characters. Its very immature, to say the least. Also, The Last of Us II: Because Fuck You would be a very fitting title.

Starting reading from age about 3, start writing from age 4 and develop a healthy loathing of all of humanity by 15.

But seriously, its all deductive reasoning skills. You take out your scalpel and break it down. Its kinda like a human body. You see where all the parts go together, try to be empathetic and get into the creator's head. Empathy and sympathy are very different. I understand this so well because I empathize with Druckman. I know what he's thinking, I know what he's doing. I've seen a lot like him. Selfish, pathetic and a loser.

I would not be shocked if Sony was going to take the game to get re-tooled elsewhere and he spitefully leaked the entire thing to sabotage it so 'his' game was kept in one piece. I mean if he did that, I'd literally kill him if I were Sony, but it is not out of the realm of possibility with a personality like Druckman.

man that guy loves himself

someone convince him that he needs to stream his entire life so we can watch what happens when the golf club of reality crashes through his house of mirrors

Nothing.

The Tale of Narcissus makes this very clear. Narcissus was a hunter, who was vain and beautiful, finds himself staring at his own reflection. He falls in love with himself and ignores the world around him. For someone like Druckman, it is utterly impossible for reality to strike him. Everyone else is wrong. He is correct. This is for him. He could be alone and working in a dollar tree at the 4 AM shift and still feel as much self love as he does now, paying crackheads to shoot his private sadist snuff videos.

That's the type of personality Neil Druckman has. Which is why no one wants to work with him.

Narcissus is a good example, because his self-love eventually leads to him withering away into nothing.

So Druckman is the spoiled kid who won't let other kids play with his toys? But he goes a step further, if any of those kids even touch his toys, he throws it in the trash. Better to have no one use it than him not use it as he wanted.
 
true, but when would they be able to record, corona is still a bitch right now and probably a major obstacle in trying to record anything else for TLoU 2
also hello college philosphy majors

I hope and pray that the game sells well enough so that he can finally afford the life saving surgery that will remove his head from his ass.

Right, but if he streams it, we can see the background changes and observe clever context clues that the cinematographer left for us to show, not tell, how self-love can survive the apocalypse
 
Wait, what did they do?
Spoilers for old ending vs new ending.
Old ending: Misako and Kyoko spend the game trying to rescue your kidnapped boyfriends, while being taunted by Hatsube and Mami who are claiming to be their real girlfriends. At the end of the normal game (no secret boss fight), the girls find their boyfriends and it's revealed that Hatsube and Mami have been the real girlfriends all along, and the Misako and Kyoko were delusional and had convinced themselves that they were dating the boys (who were never really kidnapped). After finding all the collectables, you can go to the final boss room and instead of the final boss, you fight Hatsube and Mami. The only difference between the normal boss ending and secret boss ending is that the cutscene will say Hatsube and Mami's name instead of the normal final boss' name.

The changed secret ending is: After finding all the collectibles and beating the normal final boss, you can go back and fight Hatsube and Mami. Unlike the old update, this time the true ending has the girls finding the boyfriends and it's revealed that they were never kidnapped, just that they had a day at the spa. The girls hold hands with their boyfriends and go to get food together. It's definitely a lot happier and doesn't make the main characters psychos. The old true ending isn't accessible anymore, but it's essentially the same thing as the normal ending, which is still here and needs to be seen in order to get the new true ending.

River City Girls Update Adds Secret Ending On Consoles
You can now get the alternate ending when you take on the secret final boss.

By Steve Watts on April 8, 2020 at 1:12PM PDT

The criminally underappreciated brawler River City Girls has gotten an update on consoles, adding a secret ending that had been previously missing from the game. Developer WayForward says the patch is now on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, and should be coming to PS4 soon after an "unexpected delay."

The secret ending follows after a hidden final boss fight that can be triggered by wearing two special items: the earrings from Hasebe and Mami. Hasebe's earrings are the reward for beating the game the first time, while Mami's are the reward for hunting down all the Sabu statues. The hidden final boss fight was already available on consoles, but oddly, beating it didn't change the ending significantly.

Other changes from this update include difficulty tweaks, fixes, and a revamped interaction with doors and NPCs.

River City Girls is a modern reboot of the classic brawler series, as high-schoolers Kyoko and Misako battle through the bizarrely violent River City to find their missing boyfriends, Riki and Kunio from River City Ransom. It's rife with references to obscure Japanese-only releases from the River City series, and plays with the history in some clever ways. WayForward also put out a physical version through Limited Run Games.

was RCG any good? I played the shit out of River City Ransom on some bootleg emulator for the PS2.
I liked it, especially couch co-op with a few different friends. Spritework is top notch, enjoyed the manga cinematics and environments/weapons/enemies. Music was cute, some people hate it but anyone I played with liked it. JackSepticEye and Game Grumps voice cameos were absolutely terrible, but they're minor. Story ending was shit, but it's gotten better, it's an overall recommend from me, especially with the door fix; fighting near doorways and abandoning your partner or shifting screens when you didn't want to was incredibly dumb, and I'm not sure how playtesters didn't report that before launch.

This is true. Some stories make him stay there until he basically starves to death, others turn him into a flower, others have him leave and then have him kill himself because he can't love anyone else more than himself. But yeah, its a picture perfect tale for him.

Pretty much. The game was for him. So if it was going to get taken away, best it get released in the state he wanted.

If anything, the most likely outcome is suicide.
 
I thought that Walker made up Konrad in his mind to blame all of his actions on an enemy. Walker is then both Marlow and Kurtz?
Konrad existed, but he killed himself before Walker stepped foot in Dubai. The Konrad Walker was talking to was a hallucination created by Walker to try and deflect his own guilt for his actions. Basically the Konrad the player knows isn't the real one, because the real one committed suicide at the start of the game.

EDIT: Ninja'd
 
Was Druckmann involved at all with the plot of Uncharted 3. That one is pretty infamous for being released with a half-finished story as a result of internal issues, mainly the bad-guy inexplicably being able to walk through walls and not being effected by bullets that never ever gets brought up again, or the random mummified enemy corpses that also never get brought up again, or the fact that the main villian just randomly dies in a cutscene and the final boss is a weird QTE.
 
And he was the writer as well. Robert Tapert. He moved down to NZ with her as well.

I find this all too depressingly predictable. Of course, nowadays the Tumblrinas would be all over Xena for "queerbaiting" because they didn't show her and Gab at it like knives every episode.



Sob. How do you wokeify 40K. Decide that there are female space marines? Given that they're all transhuman eight foot tall half-ton killing machines with handheld rocket launchers encased head to toe in ceramic composite plate armour, how do you tell the difference?

Thankfully, we'll always have Fantasy from before it got squatted and replaced with Age of Shitmar. The World that Was is about as unwoke as you can get.
Troonery, uh, finds a way.
