Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet - Neil Druckmann's latest blunder, now taking bets on the game flopping.

[30+GameOvers]

The only thing about Horizon I remember, aside from Nikocado Avocado memes, is that one of the games has an easter egg where a frozen body or a corpse or whatever is jerking off. That's how forgettable the game is.
Isn't this the one with robotic dinosaurs? How do you even make a concept like that boring?

 

[Glory To Arztotska]

I remember more about the Horizon easter eggs in Death Stranding 1 than I do about the actual Horizon games.

 

[AWizard]

talked about da shoah during the aftermath and death of humanity from a fucking fungus.

I'm guessing there some kind of context behind this because otherwise...I've always joked that opposing groups of people stick together when a "more" foreign group appears, so an alien invasion would prompt humanity come together but I swear to God, I feel like these fuckers would sell us out to the aliens to save their own arses.

I hope we come to find out that Neil Cuckman is another creepy weirdo like Neil Gaiman.

 

[Zaryiu2]

Intergalactic puts players into the role of Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

Metroid this ain't, also no body else noticed the Sempirians being able to climb over walls? Don't know why that makes me think Neil the Cuck will use that as a plot point to do a take that, he is that retarded

It was ethno-religious bragging about how tough Jews, aka Cuckman are poorly framed in the post-apocalypse. It was some of the lamest shit in the game, which is saying a lot given he traced gay anal for Abby's sex scene. Well okay I made that last one up, but yeah.

This game at the moment seems to be a lame take on Aliyah from a very desperate for power via "I am oppressed" man who is trying as hard as he can to turn his faith into a shield. A faggot who never actually had to serve in his ethno-theocracy's fucking defense force, and who hides away from it knowing he doesn't like it, but wants the affinity scheme to benefit him. This and a host of other reasons are why I think I have the most contempt for him out of all "creatives" in the entertainment industry, which says a lot given how most of them should burn tbh.

Still less repugnant than the Blizzard and Activision execs though. Mainly because he only hurled abuse at his women and backstabbed them into leaving via petty politics.

 

[Disc]

Druckmann is claiming he was inspired by Elden Ring: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/ac...and-could-be-a-new-direction-for-naughty-dog/

Thoughts?

Director claims that previous GOTY was inspiration for his work. My stance on this is "I'll believe it when I see it, and I'll judge for myself how much you've actually incorporated."

 

[There Is Light At The End]

I can't stop laughing

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

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

Wait what’s wrong with Tony Dalton?

 

[The_Bladder_Splatter]

I'm gonna explain this rather obscure joke, the fake mexican part is that Tony Dalton was born and studied in the USA, the killer part is that he is legit responsible for the death of a man in mexico , during his very early days he got into a mexican Jackass knockoff program where they encouraged random people to do dangerous shit, in one particular instance he ended up encouraging a man to drink 40 shots of vodka, which ended up killing him
you can google translate this site for more context

Wait what’s wrong with Tony Dalton?

Isn't this the one with robotic dinosaurs? How do you even make a concept like that boring?

You use that premise to push a bland female protagonist forward who is not attractive and voiced by Ashley Burch, and you decide that a game about fighting Robot Dinosaurs should focus less on that and more the generic soap opera film drama of ugly people.

Then on the gameplay front you apply Open World Ubisoft Formula Template 2, Modern AC Version. So you run around an empty map with loot to collect and bandits to shoot at with a bow.

Anyone who wanted to make an actual, you know, game, and not a glorified movie, would probably want to make fighting dinosaurs the thing you spend most of your time doing rather than talking to NPCs, but we live in a world where people want games to be films you press circle to keep watching. So fuck us I guess.

Horizon just needed to be Monster Hunter. Simple as that. But fucking up simple things is it's own art form one would argue.

 

[Chapalapachapa]

Even the name of this dreck pisses me off

 

[Mike Matei's Penis]

Synthetic Man said there has been a leaked plot for the game saying it's an allegory for siding with Muslims to kill Christians. Is there any more info on this?

The potential for bad writing and kikery is off the charts. Even the brief summary has a plot hole as bad as Fallout 3's.

If the leaks end up being true it'll be hilarious that it got leaked this early.

[The Ugly One]

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

Every time these people make a game set in the far future, I wonder why today's races even still exist. Aren't we supposed to all be about 25-50 years away from defeating racism and national borders forever, and everybody mixing with everyone else homogeneously? In 2000 years, why would there still be blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and whites?

 

[BScCollateral]

In 2000 years, why would there still be blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and whites?

I think this is one of the things future histories refuse to deal with: a diverse society will breed out races in a few generations. I think this was mentioned in Imperial Earth. But generally we see a diverse society that somehow keeps races despite being well past the point they shouldn't be around any more, like how African slaves in Mexico vanished into the population.
The Mighty Jingles brought this up in his playthrough of Horizon: Zero Dawn before they revealed the starting village is only a couple of generations old.

 

[Once More Into The Abyss]

I want to say it'll flop, but even with all the leaks about TLOU2 that proved to be true, it still did relatively well. Consoomers can't resist new product no matter how much slop.

The geniuses over at HBS, who fucked up Bloodlines 2 so bad Paradox had to scrap the entire project and start from scratch, went one step further, not only are there still races in the grim future of BattleTech, but apparently everyone can trace their heritage back to their Earth nation of origin, despite the fact none of them, or their ancestors, have set foot on Earth in the past 500+ years.

I also remember the absolute retardation of Numenera, where a species that is totally not humans, since the setting is one billion of years into the future, look, behave and talk exactly like humans from the state of California from circa 2020.

These people are utterly incapable of imagining anything outside of their pozzed urbanite bubble because they have never experienced anything else or interacted with individuals from outside of it.

TLOU2 had all the goodwill and momentum of TLOU1 and all previous ND games behind it.

It's never the trainwreck that suffers financially, but all the products that come after it. People are stupid, but they're not that stupid, and TLOU2 burned every bridge there is. People were genuinely mad and could tell the whole story was written to spite them.

If druckman gets hit by a trainwreck, I'm happy to eat my words.
