I just realized a planet called Simperion where basically nobody lives with a cult that worships an alien death machine. DRUCKMANN YOU FUCKING HACK! Can't wait for the sidemission where a star of david gets embedded in the main characters chest makes a person immortal but every time they make a bad stock purchase their nose grows shorter.

Extremely good book BTW, one of the greats.
 
So, let's analyze the ingredients :
  • The Director: hated man with a fragile ego that burnt many bridges during the shitshow that was TLOU2
  • The game: already unpopular and cliche for his half assed religious metaphor
  • The cast: we have an already trigger happy mc (Tati Gabrielle), current fake mexican token on trend and murderer by encouragement (Tony Dalton) & bunch of nobodies
  • The company: it's fucking Sony
We have a game with divisive themes, directed by an unlikable man, with an unlikable cast financed by a mostly unliked company, what could go wrong?, my best hopes are on this game flopping and the people at Naughty Dog using this as leverage to kick Neil out of the door since they allegedly hate the man

In the recent interview he did with Alex Garland, he also confessed to lie about an scene that never happens in game with Joel BECAUSE HE IS FUCKING DEAD AT THAT POINT on a trailer as his way to "protect the story", and that he doesn't understand why he got so much hate for that.

As a wise man once said...

THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG.

I'm doing my part too!

what could go wrong
You're forgetting it's also being released on a moribund console, by a publisher that is devoid of leadership, increasingly running out of money and with no clear idea of how to dig themselves out of the hole.

Beyond that, as others have pointed out, the left hates the Jew for his very blatant and very public support of Israel, the right hates him because he's a stereotypical Jew, and normies have no wish to suffer through even more misery porn.

The real retards in this whole debacle are the Sony executives that are setting hundreds of millions of dollars on fire by greenlighting another Cuckmann ego project.

and the people at Naughty Dog using this as leverage to kick Neil out of the door since they allegedly hate the man
They'd still end up making woke slop. Let's not pretend Druckmann is the sole reason NG is making this shit. I actually like they have to suffer his Jewish neuroticism and poorly hidden hatred of gentiles.

Truly a Hell of their own making.
 
The only part of that leak I dont believe is the ending giving you a choice
the people at Naughty Dog using this as leverage to kick Neil out of the door since they allegedly hate the man
Neil made sure to drive out anyone who could do that. There are no veterans left at ND, all the other positions of power are Neil's DEI underlings who started game development with his loli lesbian last of us
 
There is no bigger cliche in western media than "Christians bad." You can straight up have a character called DarkDeath Evilman genocide rape niggerkiller kkk 666 and it's still more likely the guy holding the Bible is the villain of the story.

It's so lazy and trite.
 
The world building is so cool in this game, you mean to tell me that this game takes place 2,000 years in the future and somehow there's still 1980s nostalgia.
Also, 2,000 years in the future is deeply concerned about the immediate political and social complaints of 2020s Southern California specifically. Truly, inspired and foreword thinking, presenting something we have never seen or thought about before
 
You know what's sad about the spoilers? It's actually a cool concept that could theoretically work. A sci fi horror story inspired by apocalypse now with gene altered insane humans. I like the ideas, and if you cut out or actually make the religion realistic (communism or halo styled Arabic fanatics) I could see it working with a conventional protagonist.

Unfortunately druckman is making it so it's going to be dogshit, but even cutting that out the advertising for this is terrible. Why the 80s theme? Why lie about the tone so badly? It's a horror game, just embrace that instead of trying to piss off your "fan base" even more by lying and saying it's an 80s throwback action game. The anime in the trailer is so cynical it's unreal.

And let's be honest. You have a character raised on 80s morality. You really think they'll let the insane genocidal human aliens live?



No


It might actually be playable with mods on PC though. Just make the kill all the aliens ending the default and the main character attractive.


Internet Historian had it dead on when he complained about games with colons in the title.
Movies are ok though
