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

Hmm. No PR spin on anything by ND or Sony? No "Sales smash all time records*, incel Russian Bots destroyed!" article?
(*Note: Sales do not actually smash all time records except a very specific one)

If one doesn't arrive within a few days, that would strongly imply that there is no positive spin at all they can come up with..

To be honest I expect one today

As mayor of Flavortown, I approve of this video.

Okay. According to most LPs I'm just about three quarters done with the game, and I don't feel like stopping anymore to liveblog, so let me just say...

People are overreacting.

Is TLOU2 bad? No. Is it amazing? FUCK no. It's aggressively overhyped. We, the community, expected an excellent sequel to an alright game, and we got a slightly more alright game instead. It feels bloated by unnecessary conflict and shenanigans involving Abby. Legitimately, it would have been better to just have the Lev plotline as a followup to Abby and Ellie's confrontation, but with Ellie discovering Lev instead of Abby. Hell, the only part of the game that Abby should have been playable in was the prologue, if only because even knowing the spoilers, the shock factor of what happened was actually well-strung.

Overall, unless the ending is somehow aggressively worse than I thought it would be, then I give this game a resounding 5/10, as opposed to the 7/10 I'd give the original. If I had to do it by percentages, Part 1 would be a 75 and Part 2 would be a 57.5. It is slightly above average, but that leans more on the gameplay and the presentation than the story, which is bloated and weighs down what would have otherwise been a banal, if overdone, plot about the cycle of revenge.

Glad to see your Cheque cleared from Sony.

When SJWs first started talking about female characters in games what they disliked was the designs with over the top big, buxom breasts and butts and what they advocated for was more "realistic" designs for women, but still recognizably... ya know, female, think Alyx in Half-Life 2, attractive but down to Earth.

I used to be very confused about this, not having seen anything particularly unrealistic about past female designs.

Now I realize it's because the people saying it live in small tiddy fatty land and I'm a Scandinavian übermench.

It's all so fucking sinister when you stop and think about it.

Feminism today means demonizing and taking away the things that actually make women women.

Look at how much SJWs hate breasts for example, every female design they out forth is either literally breastless or close to it, including Abby.

Stop and think about how demented that is, breasts are one of the defining features of women and there's a reason people go crazy for them, breasts are some of the most wonderful things on Earth, they are beautiful and literally life giving things, how many babies throughout human history have they nourished who would otherwise have starved if not for breasts?

I'm sorry, there's something that literally makes me feel sick to my stomach when I think about how SJWs hate breasts, if that's not the ultimate proof of how fundamentally anti-human they are I don't know what is.

You're overthinking it, and I say that as the fucker who wrote a pages-long article about the ins and outs of the Autism Holy War.

There's no real difference between the SJWs and their moral crusader counterparts in the right from the 1980s and 90s. They're just as idiotic, just as prone to hyperbole, and just as offended by sexuality of any kind. The difference is that while the Religious Right tried to use a moral standpoint for their argument, the SocJus speds use a greater good argument that's equally easy to punch gaping holes in.

So where does the hate of feminization from the SJWs' ilk come from? For the Religious Right, it was the belief that a character that was sexy was being morally defective somehow by being sexy, even if the char had perfectly valid reasons for being so. For the SocJus clowns, it's because they feel that anything that someone could feel conventional attraction to is a mortal sin and must forevermore be shunned. In both cases, they ignore authorial intent, history, and character motivations for an absolutist interpretation that only the most microwaved individual could adopt.

The good news is that they're destined to fail. Things will get worse in the short term, but as a wise man once said, Smut always wins in the end, and since the works designed to appeal to these morons tends to sell like coagulated testicular cancer, In time, a return on the investment will be expected, and works will pander to the coveted weeb demographic, or the weebs will carve out their own and rebuild it from scratch (they certainly have the money to).

Looks like bullshit. The most popular bra cup size in Russia is B (source: I personally grabbed every tit Otto sales 2007, Wildberries sales 2017, googling).

So I know someone else has already asked this, but are there really hardly any of the dumb zombies in this game? Like, honestly, how can people even defend this game at all besides the graphics (which even that is being too generous to point out)? What does it have to offer gameplay wise? How does it continue the "story" (ugh) from the last game besides fairly mundane things like Abby wanting revenge for some no name guy Joel killed? And most importantly how is this even some kind of survival horror series anymore? Like wth. You'd think that a game like this should have been the 3rd installment in the series if say you wanted the series to end things an extraordinarily bleak way. That is to say, humanity, not zombies were the real threat to humanity, but no. You just give this extraordinarily boring meandering circle jerk with some woke current year jibberish. Hek some of the things that were supposedly advertised in this game from what I saw,wasn't even in the game. And people somehow still defend this...

That's one of the many, many head scratching things about this game is the cordyceps zombies seem to be barely a factor at all, instead most of your time seems to be spent going against other human survivors.

It's such a terrible waste too because it was one of the more unique and interesting takes on the zombie motif.

Hmm... Sounds familiar...

On the topic of big ol' tiddies. I like big ol' tiddies just as much as anyone else. But at this point, the SJWs have removed so many big tits from games that large-breasted women are now a minority. I think they've earned their place as a diversity quota and must be represented in games or else Sony's going to get a Karen call.

I feel bad for women with naturally large breasts. Being objectified is one thing, sure, but then SJWs--who pretend like they're protecting those who cannot protect themselves--told them their existence was a disgusting caricature and should be actively condemned and removed from media entirely. I would be so offended by all that if my tits were a few cups bigger.

I might be mad they made Tifa's tits smaller though.
