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

According to Gamstat, which is pretty accurate when it comes to determining the sales of PS4 exclusives, the game has sold about 4 million copies so far. Which makes it the fastest selling Sony game this generation, ahead of Spiderman. The thing that surprised me is that it's actually *gained* more players in Day 2 and Day 3 of its release than Spiderman. I assumed that the negative reaction online would impact the post-launch day sales, but that doesn't seem to have been the case.

Interestingly, the metacritic user score seems to be going up gradually too. It's at 4.2/10 right now.

Either the people outraged over the game are a tiny minority of the actual paying audience, or gamers are just fags who will rant about something online but still go out and buy it like a good consoomer.

The only good thing that's come out of this dumb game are the culture war chimp outs. From the dweebs screeching about how anyone that doesn't like the game is an alt right incel, to the spergs losing their shit over muh ess jay dubbayew agenda. Meanwhile, Druckmann and Sony are laughing all the way to the bank. The best part is that everyone arguing is going to sit down and buy Uncharted 5 or whatever shitty game with great productions values that Naughty Dog craps out next.
This reeks of astroturfing
 
So dunkey is yet again simping for Naughty dog, not really surprised to be honest after the blowjob he gave to the overrated Uncharted 4.
I thought he'd at least rip the broken crawling invisibility

Or was that an isolated case?
 
Only defense for this game. People who hate it... because its not the movie you want. lol. Miss the point, since thats my criticism of these types of games is you dont like it for the game, but for the story. Thats your first mistake. You rely on story, not the game itself.

It looks good, but its a movie so i hate it. Also personally... not into marxist story telling would be my main bias. Even if it was a movie i wouldnt watch it. So yeah. But this is meant to be a game, so thats the first mistake to like a game purely for that reason "ergo movie games" not game games

This game "sorry movie" comes across as if someone watched Brokeback Mountain, saw the jokes and parodies and people laughing at it, tried to make it cool to the hard boiled action kid boys, mix some of the marxism in there. And serve it as that. No dice
 
2 lazy for an actual review

Yes, all legitimate criticism is just "because leaks happen = everyone hate last of us 2", that's absolutely correct Dunkey.
This wouldn't be the first time Dunkey's let bias get in the way of his review. Luckily however, Dunkey isn't the sole arbitrator of what is and isn't good. Hell, if I listened to everything Dunkey said I'd have probably never played RDR2.

Exactly, the game is narrative driven so of course the narrative is going to be criticized over the gameplay. Imagine they make a Battlefield game where the gunplay is dogshit and the multiplayer maps are three-lane moba-looking trash. Imagine you decide to criticize the multiplayer and the shooting mechanics and the map design (all three the fundamental building blocks for a multiplayer fps) for being shite. Then suddenly, a bunch of consoomers jump down your throat because "oh but the campaign was great". The campaign. The part of the game that's tacked on. It only exists to lure in people nostalgic for the decent fps campaigns of old. The glorified tutorials that don't fucking matter. That's what this feels like.

Eh atleast it would be valid if the game is good. Even if parts of it is not good. I just dont get people who are ok with a game, aslong as the story is to their liking. Thats like me liking a movie, of a guy reading a book. And say OH WOW see that was a real movie. Except it wasnt XD
 
My normy streamer is still liking the game, despite being in the Abby portion. I left before he saw the sex scene, though, so I'll check the replay tomorrow. I think he's looking forward to the multiplayer, if there is one, and so is less concerned about the story.

I can think of whole franchises where I really dislike the main story quests, but enjoy the side quests enough to overlook it. I don't think I've ever played a game that was quite as relentless a trudge as this one, though.

It's such a cheap guilt tactic: you kill a person you know nothing about, then have to go through a buttload of flashbacks trying to humanize them afterwards.

To be honest, my god the gameplay in BFV really struck me as overly arcadey. BF1 already sped things up as true trench warfare would have been a slog for most people, but at least soldiers weren't doing slides all of the place. No wonder the TTK changes ended up pissing people.

I never ended up buying BFV because WWI shooter is a much more interesting premise over one that's been beaten to death for years, so I'll have to take your word for it. Plus I don't like paying EA more money than I need to. Also I'm kind of autistically salty that BFV wasn't a Vietnam game, I mean fuck's sake it's got V in the title. Maybe VI will run with that.
