>makes game on how revenge is bad
>if you say bad things about model they're going to get their revenge on you


Really makes you think. :thinking:
if any of those people start to identify as trans that person will be fucked and blacklisted themself. Itll be a good life imitating "art" moment though

sadly the totally organic positive review packets have been dropped to desperately buoy this game to a 5.0 out of 10, iirc 100k is an insane amount for reviews on a game on metacritic and even then they needed a totally organic influx of "this game good 10/10" totally not mad totally not shill reviews to get it to mediocrity after all this time
 
Remember when after witcher 3 launched everyone at CDPR and the press media spent their time shitting their pants and defending the game? No, me neither.
The game is not the hit that they spent 7 years and millions of dollar making
Fuck Off ND and Fuck off >Troy, you fucking scab.

I have to get this off my chest because it's been sitting there a while since I finished watching this shit pile of a game and that's the character of Mel in this trashfire.

Mel has got to be one of the most if not THE MOST retarded fucking bitch in this game and mind you, there are a lot of dumb fucking choices that are made by a lot of dumb fucking characters here.

Mel is the pregnant broad that's supposed to be Dina's counterpart of the annoying bitch in the group on Abby's side of the story. She appears seemingly out of nowhere, very obviously pregnant and showing and her first lines of dialogue are of her talking about how she wants to go out in the front lines despite being pregnant. Abby and Manny are with her and what do they do when a pregnant woman says something so fucking utterly stupid like that? They just...let her go. Oh cool, you want to risk your baby's life on top of yours too? Aight, coo. Neither Abby or Manny have ANY kind of reservations about letting a very pregnant woman go out into the frontlines. They have plenty of able-bodied people but no, let's let the pregnant bitch come out with us into danger, that makes a lot of fucking sense.

Then she goes out with you and you can see her dive roll and getting shot at and you the player watch this pregnant npc act like an action hero despite the fact that she's...you know FUCKING PREGNANT. Apparently Mel was endowed with the power of the Gods if she's able to act like she's in a Michael Bay movie while she's pregnant but meanwhile Dina's bitch ass is having complications and she needs to go back to Jackson for treatment??? I mean, with how little Mel seems to show any sort of maternal care for her unborn baby, you'd think that she might as well have just jumped off of an elevated area and land on her stomach to self abort the baby she apparently doesn't give a shit about losing.

And another thing...that scene where she gets shanked in the throat. You'd think...that a woman who doesn't want to die and who is also very pregnant may think to maybe fucking mention the fact that she is pregnant so that she doesn't get killed? In that retarded scene she is held at gun point for so long but never once does she say anything along the lines of "Please don't, I'm pregnant. I'll tell you what you want to know just don't hurt me or my baby." No, instead she sits there without a word and even has the audacity to fucking attack Ellie with a knife. Not her or fucking Owen say anything about her pregnancy which could have saved both of their lives. The devs just force the characters to completely forget the fact that Mel is pregnant just to force a scene in which Ellie kills a pregnant broad for the YOU GUESSED IT, shock value. Just like they did with Joel in order to make his death happen, they completely lobotomized the characters in all the scenes that Mel is in. What the fuck was the point of making her pregnant if everyone is just going to fucking pretend like she isn't? Again, she was just given a hamfisted pregnancy so that when her inevitable death scene came up, Druckmann could sit there and say "Oh look, Ellie killed a pregnant woman. Look how disturbed about it she is. Look how GRIMDARK it is. Aren't I the best at telling stories???" I guess Druckmann not only hates the straight males in this game, he also hates the women with a passion too because he went out of his way to give them all the collective intelligence of a fucking grain of sand.
 
The following things do not make a character deep or compelling. 1. Getting hurt a lot. Looking at you, Tomb Raider reboot. 2. Being sad. 3. Doing morally questionable things. And we might as well tack on 4. Being a member of a minority, just ‘cos I’ve already given up hope for this video’s comment section. What does matter is that characters at least be interesting to watch, and these aren’t. The banter between Ellie and her girlfriend as they adventure together sizzles like a flask of slightly tepid water because they’re too similar, in personality, background and motivation, to have good chemistry.

HE DUN DID IT!
 
Where do these people get the idea it’s either musclebeast or lingerie model? Abby is the only woman shown in the hellscape looking like she trained for the Olympics
They should have made Ellie take care of a shota child for the entire game. Have it be a brother/sister bond instead of a daddy/daughter.

I was actually wondering about the braindeadness of this decision. Could it be that Mel was originally not supposed to be pregnant and it was added after most of the voices had already been recorded? It was just added for edgy shock value?

That might not be the case and it's just bad writing. But it seems odd that a pregnant woman would be on the front lines for no reason whatsoever. Sitting on her pregnancy reveal for post-mortem shock value seems bizarre. But then again we are dealing with a story that is highschool level fanfiction quality. Druckmann might think this is th darkest and more gritty reveal ever. Look at the edgedark tragedy!

Honestly, it couldn't get any worse if Abby was revealed to be a werewolf and all the dogs Ellie killed were her pack mates. Oh, and Ellie's half vampire, half demon, half angel.
 
Polygon is all over the place with this game.

During this whole autistic drama, it again dawned something on me that drives me mental since several years now.

Let's put aside the fact if Last of us part 2 is a bad game or not (it actually is), but there is something else that i got from all these people praising this game. They say how mature gaming has become, they say how gaming is a piece of art and how gaming is so much more serious.

Do Gamers really have such an inferiority complex, that they feel like they need to be seen as more then what they are? I am a gamer and all i care about is that games are supposed to be fun.

Fun has become a bad word with these kinds of people.

It was obviously done just to further demonize Ellie to make Abby look more sane in comparison. But Ellie actually showed regret and horror when she killed Mel while Abby showed clear solace in killing Dina just to spite Ellie.
 
I find it hilarious the media praised the "gangbuster numbers" the game was selling in its first week but then remains completely silent on its colossal drop of sale and also colossal increase of used copies everywhere. Cant say Im surprised but its interesting how, be it SW or TLOU or whatever, their narrative is literally a mad libs game.

Lets play it shall we kids?

""______Intellectual Property____" sold "____Number____". Is it time for "___Made up derogatory term made up by mainstream media___" to accept defeat?"

Its a game to them at the end of it. They want to "win" against the people they dont like, principles, morality and ethics be damned.

Not that journalism wasnt ever a joke, but I say at least before it was far more subtle and at least it tried to sound professional, nowadays they are unmistakably hit pieces against people they dont like. They know the game is garbage but not only ND is paying them to write good things about it but they also get to use it as ammo against their enemies and imaginary boogeymen to move their agendas along.

I did say that money would be ultimately be the winning factor here and people are finally starting to respond accordingly. But part of me knows that ND will never admit this game was a failure, even if it doesnt flop, it will UNDOUBTABLY undersell severely now (and given how much of an ass ND are making out of themselves, that wont help either). Word is spreading fast and they are into full defensive mode now.

Now I imagine the follow can happen

1- ND "quietly" disowns this game and tries to move forward perhaps with "brighter" and more colorful games (whatever they might be) and maybe also quietly turn Cuckmann into a male Kathey Kennedy (as in his power in the company is gone but he will publically still keep his position for the sake of PR and to not indirectly admit their fuck up to not piss off the mainstream media). And then finally perhaps allow Cuckmann to "quit" himself on his own terms, tho obviously he was fired behind the scenes.

2- ND doubles down and announces the game is a success and any flaws it had in its sales numbers were thanks to the usual suspects, the damn dirty sexual man baby trolls. Probably announce more sequels to TLOU Part 2 and they will keep its dark cinematic tone for other sequels and new IPs in the future (with Cuckmann leading the charge)

Like I said, ND will never admit it was a failure, at best they will cease mentioning the game at all and try to move on and rebuild their image (and obviously fail) to their fans, now having to try to please both fans that somehow still stuck around and "fans" who will reeee the moment they step out of line (which will happen sooner or later).

Except, unlike SW, I dont know if ND can survive this huge of a fuck up. Lucasfilm has Disney to basically keep them finantially alive, ND has no such thing. So I dont know what might happen but big changes are coming for sure.
