Never got the appeal of him, he's just LE BLACK STAR WARS CONSUMMMER MAN

The problem is more the sameness of tipple a gaming right now, the walk talk sim with pretty realistic graphics was dominant for so long. finally theres some major competition after years of it, I would say the solution is much less dormancy and just getting more picky than picking up a sequel due to being a sequel and picking a game up because of how it builds itself up.

It's almost a guarantee you get burned on sequels these days, whether in movies/tv or games. Original IPs have to be somewhat careful and self moderating in order to lure audiences in and create brand loyalty. As soon as its successful planning for follow ups start and the corporate locusts descend to start trying to re-imagine and current year the whole affair knowing they have a built in floor of sales from people expecting to get what the original was. It inevitably goes to shit, we go through a few cycles of "ignorant man babies just hate it because xyz but all the critics love it!!" and the franchise pathetically limps along in a moribund state until it completely flatlines or they bring in yet another team to try and salvage things.

People need adopt a mercenary mindset and avoid falling in love with a franchise or company because there is a certainty that whatever bait was used to bring you in is going to be switched out by the time the sequel/spinoff(or even DLC in some cases) rolls around. These companies are just not built to resist the type of pressures brought to bear as soon as a title gains any notoriety or success.

Either that or pirate the shit out of everything

And the "coddle Dunkey he a good boi" team is out again. Interesting that disliking his video is considered bombing and is in no way the result of more people watching his video and just disliking it because it's his typical manipulative bullshit when it comes to his reviews.

What a moron. "Respect his opinion" my ass. Dunkey lumped all the criticism about the game and said they were wrong just like that. How ironic that his joke of "You are nitpicking and biased, I win bye bye" applies to this so well...

Cosmonaut weighs in on the game.

There might be some disagreement.

"I like how Joel's death had consequences for every character. It was handled perfectly."

Not a single word about how the character is brutally beaten to death or how the character gets spit upon.

"This is a story about forgiveness".

Fucking what? Okay, I haven't played the game, or seen it. But nothing that I've heard indicates Abby forgives ANYONE. How can you claim this game is about forgiveness when one of the two main characters is a brutal, violent cunt?

 

[Gehenna]

I'm late but let's appreciate Esther, Joel's girlfriend. She was too good for this shitty game anyway.

"We didn't have time"
They sure had time for all these bitches in Abby's gang. RIP the only good romance in this game

This shit further supports my prior stated take that there was a power struggle for the writing between Druckmann and an unknown second person. One Druckman unfortunately won. This shows thought, care, and consideration of Joel's character arc, and would have been widly different to Druckmann's take.

Which is why Druckmann proceeded to rip anything from that mystery guy out, and piss on it.

But you see, Ellie forgives Abby because she saw Joel in a flashback and she felt so bad! ...Even though Abby bit her fingers off, beat her pregnant ex to a pulp and fucked Tommy up. Even though Joel would have shot Abby if he had the chance. Even though Ellie went through all the trouble to murder Abby's friends, even a pregnant woman.

Those defenders have no idea what they're talking about.

Or y’know they could’ve just...kept her in the game and not killed her? Or better yet: have her act as a devil on Ellie’s shoulder pushing her along as an anti-Joel, so to speak, Kill her at the end, and then you can even have the same flashback bullshit at the end during the Abby/Ellie fight because it’d show that there’s still some innocence left in Ellie now that Esther can’t influence her anymore.

That took me a minute to come up with: why did they not think of this during the preproduction stage where they’re supposed to figure the story out? Why were all these changes made as the game was getting THAT close to the release date!?

Some of it's a bit rambling, but this video had some real gems.

"And then they'd play with his corpse and insult his memory for about 25 hours."

The whole section about how much of a sick person someone would have to be to force you to kill a dog (unless it's a bad, naughty dog).

"If you ever see anyone using a golf club, ...you can know ahead of time, that person basically has two balls hidden away somewhere."

"I'd never accept a golf club from a bigot."

 

[Gamepad]

After the user score went TBD on Metacritic, the subreddit where most of the leak discussion and trashing of the game occurred suddenly went private. Wasn't even like that 30 minutes ago.

What the fuck is the point of doing this now? The damage is done, the game is a laughing stock. Stop sucking the games dick and go find something else to white knight.

There might be some disagreement.

Cosmonaught is pure contrarian, he legitimately got so buthurt people called Rey a Marry sue he made a video trying to explain that luke, the guy who had to train and failed constantly, was a worse one.

 

[Swiss46]

Cosmonaught is pure contrarian

I disagree

He seems to back off anytime somebody says something back, like his h3h3 video. Even when you compare his TLOU2 stream to his later full on review, he goes from "yo this game is dog shit" to "this game has a lot of good qualities and while fairly mediocre is not that bad of a game".

Maybe he just doesn't want to start shit.

 

[blablabla]

this game went over like a fart in church, nobody cares about it anymore

I think it's based on the audience he's trying to attract. Weak, meager babies who don't have any principled stances are unfortunately the majority of video game enthusiasts. There's more guaranteed recurring money appealing to this demographic than trying to be somebody who isn't afraid of conflict even when they're 100% in the right.

It's funny how people think that skin colors matter or gender matter that much. If I cared that much, I'd be proud of my own nation's entertainment. But I'm not, because it's garbage. I care about quality entertainment, not skin colors.

Well some folks must have liked this game

This weekend it pushed out 4.4 million players on the PS network.

Thats a record, beating God of War and Spiderman 4

Could have been a mystery girl? The woman he fired who worked on the first game? It seems to me like Cuckmann being Cuckmann, he'd have a bigger reason to fire a woman than a man, and fighting him on the story might have done the trick. Also, what was her name? I've been trying to find it online and it's been very hard to find.

CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

This is why so much of entertainment is shit and talented people get tossed aside to make way for hacks make flashy garbage for gargantuan super franchises.
