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

Really if he wanted a violent game he should have done something like Battle Royale where people murder each other in a competition in gruesome fashion.

Like if you want to go full gore, then do it. Have an elaborate crafting system like Dead Rising for insane weapons and traps and have hitman style solutions for situations, get really creative with how you want to kill people.

To keep it fresh have the game radomize which other contestants you meet and what order they come in. Like you won't be able to over power the body builder, but you'll be able to tear the head off a 14 year old girl. You can even do the open world game design thing with it perfectly and have a timer going so the player has to kill one of the NPCs in order to refresh it.

"welll...all those people gleefully spoiling the game were indeed acting like sociopaths"

The tweet immediately after that: "Believing a corporation or believing 4chan. what a hellish choice"

The spoilers you just said existed were from 4chan you dumbass

give jeff a break, he's in his 40s and thinks Apple computers are good

For real though, if I head to guess the guy is friends with some of the people over at ND and that's why he's acting like such a angry kneejerk-reactive retard about this situation.

Late, and moralfaggy, but all I'm gonna say is that the sheer brutality and cruelty in Abbey's beatdown is the kind you only see in a writer who gets off on it.

I've seen this kind of overly-violent, over-the-top, merciless, humiliating, sadistic, cruel, drawn-out, and from both an in-story perspective and a writing perspective, completely stupid, unjustified, unnecessary, unneeded, and unwarranted assault on a helpless person who did nothing to the perpetrator, nor to deserve what had happened to them (at the time of the incident) only once before in another series where the author himself admitted that he liked hurting people. And I gotta say, I completely agree with other users when they say that Druckmann here is the same kind of shithead.

You only write this kind of disgusting, sadistic, and frankly, utterly ridiculous bullshit if it's your fetish. Especially if you try to portray the violent, hulking, "woke" psychopath as being completely justified, and the one who's supposed to be the good guy.

I'm just comparing it to the Kill Bill fight scenes in my head and everything about the two are different. The female fights in that film were harsh, but this is so much more brutal, especially the scene of Abby smacking the head of another women into the pavement.

The thing is I understand why it's different - the Bride in Kill Bill was equally matched with her components - Abby is essentially a man and the average person still feels especially sickened when a man beats a woman. Making that women also pregnant does no favors.

We know Druckmann is a feminist, and male feminists seem to have this kink of wanting to beat the shit out of women and they often do it in real life.

Is it because deep inside they feel that if they have to cuck to women all day, everyday, then they'll just beat the shit out of women when no one's looking? I think it may be more likely the male feminist becomes a piece of shit due to feminism rather than him being into that shit before and using it as a cover. A pathetic man child can only handle so much.

Like I said before, Druckmann is almost certainly into hardcore snuff porn ala the dark stuff that uses only bitcoin for purchasing. Maybe not actual death but play-acted all the same. Him forcing his staff at ND to watch it almost certainly made it so he couldn't get up and walk around for awhile.

He makes fun of lizard people now, but the way clown world is headed...

But more seriously, /x/ is obsessed with tupla and /pol/ goes straight for Juden. So which board is the lizardmen board?

Fuck it, more clips. Ellie kills Abbys man. She should have killed Dina.

He bought into a religion that made sexual preference, race and gender the most important facets of a person's very being. There is so much packed into this. But the short answer is the first game sought to explore a spiritual realm of concepts that are underlying our common human experience, and the second game explores concepts related solely to our base animal lives.

He foresook heaven in favor of the earth in philosophical terms. And all religions agree that a man who does that finds Hell. Which is probably where druckmann thinks he is right now.

*edit*

and as an aside, Sony has created a "woke" game that is actually very good. Horizon Zero Dawn. The game hits all the lefty beats. Environmentalism good, industrialization bad strong women who need no man, etc etc etc. But there is a Very Very big key difference. The female protagonist of Zero Dawn is not some vindictive bitch. She is actually very likeable and despite all the stones and arrows thrown her way finds it in herself to forgive rather then be vindictive. She also has to fight and struggle for everything and the men in her life far from being bumbling morons are competent and absolutely essential to her success.

But where zero dawn is inspiring, Last of Us 2 comes across as dark and menacing. There is something evil underneath what druckmann has created here and the absolutely viscerall reaction people are having is I think a manifestation of that. People can tell the writer got a boner over Joel getting his face smashed by a golf club.

Which is why I am not shocked at all the supporting staff is rumored to be mutinous. Normal people do not want to make murder and torture porn wearing the skin of a moral lesson.

Dont forgot Aloy has the most glorious hair ever.

In this case, it has nothing to do with feminism. It's simply because they're sadists. They get pleasure out of both causing and seeing others in pain. Male feminists only turn out to be pieces of shit most of the time because labeling themselves as feminists makes them seem unsuspecting and seemingly harmless to their victims. Not because feminism drives them to it. These people were fucked up way before they got involved with feminism.

The victims only tend to be women in most cases because that's who they're attracted to, and to be honest, the type of victim that they have the most access to, but make no mistake, sadists, especially sexual sadists, can and will go after anyone if the opportunity arises.

Honestly The world of The Last of Us is so vast and full of so many things, that focusing a continuation on the story of two people feels kinda wasted, let alone a shit story that is even worse than the first game in almost every single way.

I think it would better if The Last of Us did a sorta Half Life Thing (I know second time bringing it up, but its a favorite of mine) and release separate stories in the same universe, focusing on different people and the adventures and trials they go through.

Like maybe focus on the life of a Military man in the remains of the US Army, having to find a way to support his family as the framework falls apart thanks to the Fireflies, or even playing AS a Firefly, and see the world through there own eyes, and why they do what they do.

I feel like that would make The Last of Us more fresh than a continuation of two peoples life stories, only to force someone new who no one expected to take the spot of Joel, as a Playable antagonist, who becomes the good guy, despite beating the fuck out of two women, and being so bloodthirsty and focused on revenge, that they come off as really unlikable.

I just feel like its a wasted opportunity, and it makes me sad to know that Hacks are in-charge of a really interesting World and Lore. Like Disney and Star Wars.

The ending of the last of us only works if it's just that: The Ending. There's only like 2 1/2 ways to continue that story in a good way and an infinite amount of ways to retroactively fuck it up, which, SURPRISE, is exactly what happened. Any continuation of the world without Juul and billie eyelash would have been spit on by the "fans", and as we've seen any attempt to continue the story with them results in them fucking it up. The only way to win is to not play the stupid unnecessary sequel game.

Or make up your own bullshit ending in your mind instead.

But did they exceed Sony's vice president? Yes, I know that was a typo.

Sony dropping that guy was the worst thing they did for advertising. I still remember their commercials with him and the time he showed up at e3. All because he appeared in a commercial where a Wii was being played. Fuck americas corporate culture.

 

[Dave.]

Yeah 'The Interview'. Wasn't that controversy a hoax created because they knew the film was going to bomb in theaters?

 

[mindlessobserver]

If it was a hoax, it's one the North Korean Government walked full on into. That stupid movie was a very big fucking deal in national defense circles, and post "the interview" you saw the NSA and the DIA begin to breathe down corporate Americas neck about their database security. They would NEVER go so far as to say they would begin to take advantage of their shoddy practices to leak their dirty laundry to TMZ. They simply pointed out that if North Korea could do it they could do it too.

He might be doing this to cover his ass in terms of any career in video games, but honestly he's always seemed a whiny bitch. Someone that just wants to complain about something so I suppose he's in good company with ND.

 

[Hangula Hungui]

Chutes and ladders. Death Standing did it better.

-predicted media manipulation in mgs2
-did the protag switcheroo better
-fans hated Raiden so in 3 he was a joke and in 4 he actually went through hell and had bad ass scenes along a redemption arc
-made a game about isolation
-better gameplay mechanics than ND‘s hackjob

is there anything Kojima cant do?besides Silent Hills
