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

In the first game, there was almost never not a point where you weren't with a companion, i think the only two times where you get separated from any other characters is when Joel wakes up after Ellie gets kidnapped by Cannibals, and when Joel wakes up in the Firefly hospital. Both major narrative moments in the game where an emphasis was put on that separation. Meanwhile in the second game you literally have hours of gameplay where the main characters are completely alone with no one to talk to or bounce dialogue off of after the game is done with its mediocre combat. It feels like this game was designed with the idea "do the exact opposite of what the first one did". And because of that, unlike the first ones, its not a good game.

Who's ready for Gamergate 2

not gonna happen, but I am ready for druckmann to get a bi-partisan burning of his man bun down the walk of shame

You know who young Abby looks like? Elliot Rodger if he started roiding and grew a pair of tits from the hormonal imbalance.

Isn't it uncanny?

I'm not going to watch this faggot shit, but the gist I'm getting from this thread is that in 3-5 years, this game is going to be the subject of a very funny Internet Historian video.

IH's stream of this shitshow was the funniest one I've seen all day. Highly recommend watching; hope he does the whole thing.

Will this game will be the one to unite the HorseShoe ™ Theory © to stop hack writing?

what he did to big boss is cuckman level shiting on your character

whatd he do to big boss that was so bad? i ask because its been a fair bit and stories tend to blur to their most basic roots and emotional highlights after a while. the only things i can think of is the coma machine which fits with a tragic war loving character being reduced by a system that turns war into an inglorious mechanized commercial prospect and gives his previous desires for soliders to find dignity more weight and the fact they revealed he had his own "boss" he looked up to

it sucks because its funny to share but this user will most likely be dogpiled, banned, and their contribution memory holed instead of engaged with and possibly spreading amongst users all because the kiwi meanies happened to not like the game for different reasons they find abhorrent

Mutahar just found out that this game literally has a built in cheat mode where you can become invisible as long as you crouch, what a fucking joke,

their push for accessability includes brain dead retards

I was just thinking about that "Here we go!" meme I posted and I realized that if Neil had done that boat scene in "The Dark Knight" he absolutely would have blown up both boats.

Strangely I don't think they will be. Even RetardEra seems united in thinking TLOU2 is a festering pile of shit. Maybe Neil actually improved the world, his giant turd united the planet in equal hatred of his malfeasance. So shines a good deed in a weary world.

Neil would've had batman be killed by the Joker 20 minutes in, then had the rest of the movie be about Alfred, struggling with his recent sex change, trying to take revenge, but choosing to let Joker go to murder more people by the end.

Like seriously, all this constant misery, death, pandering, ugliness, violence and angst, and for what grand purpose the audience is supposed to take away from all this?

The purpose is to witness the talent of the artistic genius Druckmann.

 

[Salubrious]

I think it's a trope, but what is it called specifically when a main character would have won just by doing nothing?

If Ellie didn't go searching for Abby, Abby would be dead. Hell, even before she changed her mind for no reason, Ellie could have just left Abby hanging there.

 

[Jason Blaha's Hat]

It’s like Druckman watched something totally miserable like true detective season 1, seven, or even passion of the christ, loved it but totally missed the part where the misery and graphic violence is there to serve themes. This is childish writing.

this video also shows how kiwi farms saw the last of us 2 become one of sony's biggest dumpster fires in recent memory

Neil Druckmann wanted to subvert our expectations but the only expectation he subverted was the expectation that a game that took 7 years and 100 million dollars to make would be at the very least competent

Those aren't even nearly as miserable at TLOU2. Neil watched The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford and wanted the entire game to have the same feeling as the ending of that film. Just complete despair and hatred of existence.

Didn't know the last parts of the game took place in flavortown.

Honestly I kinda wish Guy Fieri was the main villain of the game, from the literal 2 minutes of screen time he has, he already has more character than any of the main cast of this game.

This isn't just pretentiousness at this point, this is narcissism.
