Who's pumped for the AVGN review in 2035?

I don't know what the fuck that is but It had me laughing like an idiot and now I need to see the original.

the thing about TLOU2 and forcing you to make morally reprehensible or controversial decisions, as to generate shock value to continue the story is that, no matter how hard Duckmann may try to spin it, this is still a videogame
when perform an action in a videogame, you get invested in the character that performs the action. you and the character share the same objective because the story's role here is to make you simpatize with the character and his aspirations
when you kill off the most beloved character of its prequel what 99% of players will have in mind for the rest of the game is how they'll want to avenge that character, no matter what Ellie's actual intentions are.
there is many great examples of game designers using the medium they have at their disposal to create a sense of remorse through the players actions without having the character he controls be straight up unlikeable
take No More Heroes 2 for example, the game presents itself as a gorey, light hearted hack n slash that doesn't take itself too seriously at first, the people you kill are over the top, colorfoul and sometimes even likeable in a way where you'd still have no trouble in killing them. then the reality slowly sets in: the people you killed are, in fact, people, with feelings and all of that, and the impressive thing about NMH2 is that it takes very little actual dialog most of the cases to achieve that. but when this realization comes in it's too late to stop and the game makes sure you understand the only way to get out of the mess that you created for yourself is to keep going, even making sure the final boss of the game is horrendously hard and intentionally giving the player a payoff not worth the efforts to get there, to replicate how the character controlled by the player really feels.
none of this could have been possible in any other medium
meanwhile TLOU2 is just an interactive movie with unlikeable protagonists and an ending that made no one happy because Ellie's path of supposed redeption didn't match the players' intentions at all and it doesn't work as a heel turn either because its supposed to be seen as a morally just decision

It will he his autistic daughter who takes up the reigns on that

Mate, someone posted the vid of the scene in question earlier in this thread. Not sure if it's still in happenings. But it's the page right after the first screen shots of Abby's non tits were posted.

I'm thinking Stuart Ashen with "Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of" in about 2050. Ending with something like, "Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann are now spending their time making freemium holo-games with excessive monetisation. A FITTING PUNISHMENT!"

Yeah no I get the memes, just not what that comic was before the memes happened.

I feel like the revenge bullshit could actually have worked if both parties went through with it and it showed them both suffering from the consequences. Like instead of Abby using her tranny tard strength to bash a hole in one through Joel’s head she could’ve instead lured Joel to an area swarming with infected and shove him into the horde so he can be slowly devoured while having his last stand and trying in vain to fight them all off, maybe have Abby watch the scene and have her expression change from a sadistic smile to a more melancholy look before she leaves. Ellie naturally gets pissed and begins attacking Tranny Kong any chance she can get and fucking her up a little more each time before she gets away, which starts to add to the mental toll Abby already feels from watching Joel die. Eventually the final fight happens and Ellie finally manages to slay Shemale Strong in front of lil Asian troon and finally returns home only to find that she still feels shitty cause even with Abby dead Joel is still gone. After a while of living alone little troon finally sneaks into her house with a gun and threatens to kill Ellie for revenge, but Ellie just calmly talks to them and explains why it’s a bad idea and apologizes before resigning herself to whatever’s about to happen as little orphan tranny is holding a gun with a conflicted look on their face. Screen suddenly cuts to black, loud twanging acoustic guitar plays as credits roll, people have something to ponder about for the sequel, Cuckman continues to look like the unholy spawn of Shia LaBeouf and PewdiePie.


It’s still a cliché mess, but at the very least it’s more of a story than what we got.

 

[The Sauce Boss]

Finna hop back into the game. It's honestly starting to get a bit annoying how many flashbacks there were. You coulda probably added a little bit of fluff and made a whole interquel with all these flashbacks.

 

[MeltyTW]

The thing is realistically in any high sci-fi setting things like birth and mental defects should be almost eliminated. Hell IRL shit like Crisper is trying to do just that.

That means no Troons * No brain defects mean no GD hell potientally no gays at all if you want to kick THAT hornets' nest *, no cripples * No birth defects and even if it happens after birth cybernetic limbs that are almost identical to the real thing will fix it and it'll be like going to the doctor for a minor infection *, no autistic spazs.

The only way having those make sense is if you go the Gundam Seed route and have it become a moral quandary between natural birth and science and these fuckers won't do that because it often goes hand with religion which these fedora tippers hate.

And you already mentioned fantasy where an actual sex change is just a tonic away.

these hacks will never understand science fiction, too often the most creative thing they can conceive for a civilization that will be vastly different than ours on several fundamental levels is current year with some inconsistent laser tech. Also lol again at Gundam doing what these writers cant yet again

Honestly, the flashbacks involving Joel and Ellie (if there are any) are probably what's keeping this game from just getting a flat 0.

Late, but I absolutely love how Pewds keeps calling Abby "Debbie".

Just the thought of this monstrous, hulking she-beast being named that has sent my sides into orbit.

"I hate Debbie."

"We're going to go kill Debbie."

"We better being wearing this watch when we kill Debbie."

 

[madethistocomment]

Call Me Kevin released some highlights from him playing the first two hours and my two favorite parts were him not knowing if Abby was male or female until she opened her mouth, and the fact that he tries killing her at every opportunity. The poor lad's not seen any of the leaks and loves the first game, so I simultaneously feel awful for him because of what's to come and also can't wait for him to start properly hating Abby and Co.

I would have heavily have preferred that, than the fucking horrible and brutal beatdowns that go on in the game, and make Abby actually look like a human being

 

[GaddafyTheLooneyDuck]

From weeb/animu queen to simping for what's shaping up as one of the most hated games of the decade.

How the mighty have fallen.

I wouldn't put something like "weeb/animu queen" on a pedestal. Regardless, I too think that Laura is a fine voice actress, shame that she stepped into that smelly cowpile.

[MeltyTW]

Yes, her boyfriend was chineese, she's jewish and that baby is blacked. Also we need to give Ellie a reward "the first lesbian cuck."

actually i dont think lesbian cucks are all that uncommon, you have a mix of bi and straight women in denial and women who want a more masculine body image who feel like they have to be a more male like provider but feel inadequate. and of course less traditional sexuality is obviously going to attract "babe i want to explore my sexuality constantly but if you love me and want to validate your emotions dont even think about masturbating" type whores

 

[CheezzyMach]

If this was on PC I can guarantee they'd be Abby death mods in hours.

Just like how ME3 was modded to kill Starfucker.
