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

It's like I said earlier and sort of what @Secret Asshole keeps saying. Druckmann pretty much did everything possible that he could get away with to rile people up because he has no other talent, and I guarantee you he will shortly pull a Rian Johnson/Paul Feig on Twitter and smear the critics as alt-right, racist, misogynist, homophobes and transphobes. He wants the attention.

After Ghostbusters, I would think Sony would get the hint now and quit trying to pander to the progressive/woke market.

How many times must they fail?

LOL woke up this morning and just typed "Last of Us 2 metacritic into Google. The first results were all articles such as those listed above raging about the low review score on Metacritic, the Forbes article even goes so far as to argue that Metacritic should purge any of these reviews they "think" are part of a campaign.

This shit is the gaming version of TLJ and Captain Marvel rolled into one. Apparently the narrative is now that only "paid" critics are englightened enough to appreciate the nuances and subverted expectations that Cuckmann delivered.

I really wish NG didn't give Joel the intelligencenof a monkey just so that they could kill him off easier instead of making his death more impactful to the audience that k ows who he is. Now we're all here sitting and thinking to ourselves that Joel's somehow developed severe retardation to just willfully walk into a trap like that.

C'mon man, if you're gonna kill off characters from the first game at least be creative with it.

heck they even failed the "realistically purposeless and brutal" route by, ya know, having it be overly dramatized with a big revenge plot over a dumb reason that doesnt make sense. like any zombie going back to the night of the living dead, characters would just die and any meaning had to be derived by the survivors after the fact as their loved ones turned to beasts like real life.

do you think anyone will tell them that we can talk to each other without reviews and no one relies on them anyway, making purging an exercise in just shutting out their own perception of valuable marketing data to preserve their feelings?

Dunno if it was posted, but, there are certain things you can't shoot lol.

Can you at least throw molotovs?

 

[Kurtis Trent]

I know it has been memed but is she legit troon as in, she is in game world and lore a troon? Or she just unfortunately ugly looking woman?

she's not trans, but this specific scene was designed to be "trans-friendly"... Whatever that means.
Basically titties make them uncomfortable but buttfucking is a fair game

He gave the game a 7/10 review after just 1 hour of gameplay (just for the presentation and story), then he really tried hard to enjoy it but it started to get worse and worse, the gameplay was repetitve and broken, he found that you can sleath cheat just by croaching he then gave it a 3/10 and kept hopelessly trying to enjoy it.

His final giving up and shitting on the game was clearly a breaking point, you can't say he didn't tried, the game is too simultaneously boring and infuriating to be good.

Honestly this is how I felt with Metal gear solid 2, loving the tanker with Snake, then wondering who the fuck Raiden was and why I was on this boring fucking oil rig.

All the journalists in the world cant save this. The memes are made. The youtube edge celebs made fun of it. Reddit leaks melted down the masses.

No gamergate can save you this time, guys.

Gotta love how they give you a disgusting drink for 3euros "for free" if you spend almost 300 on the console already. What a steal!

While looking up what store I assumed it was (i thought 'real', judging by the look of the ad?) I found this prime special edition external drive. Better buy 5 of it before it's gone.

I can get a 5TB for $100. Fuck that.

hey actually the metacritic is at 7k and still 3.4 i dont know how numbers usually flow organically there but .... is it possible they had to lock it to the keep the game from going lower?

 

[Cod of War]

Crash Bandicoot 3 was ND at their best. Nowadays I wouldn't even trust them with a clicker game.

Someone should make a Smash Joel clicker game.

 

[The Sauce Boss]

So far so... okay. Gameplay is smooth, but visceral at the same time. Story is pretty bare-bones, but the meat and potatoes are flashback sequences that keep up with the points between 1 and 2. Gunplay is especially fun IMO because you feel like you have untrained hands on the gun- aiming requires a little bit of time and precision.

Joel dies within the first 2 hours of the game.

Other than that, nothing to report. Been playing for almost 12 hours now

Breaking news from /v/, where I was fortunate(?) enough to see what's beneath Abby's shirt. God help us all.

Edit: For our friends coming in from the Happenings link (thanks for the mention, Null, very cool), you'll want to look at the page after this one for video evidence.

I only saw The Happenings today and quickly regret clicking on it.

What the fuck. WHAT THE FUCK? Abby isn't even a muscular woman anymore. She's literally just a woman's head on a man's body.

Edit: WHY DID I CLICK ON THE VIDEO.

Imma need some eye bleach....military grade shit....

I wouldn't be surprised, they're going full damage control with this shit, but the holes are in the dam already.

The lastofus subreddit is still in their fanboy phase.

"The game owes you nothing"

This faggot acting like we're dealing with a David Lynch movie and not some focus tested AAA production that is nothing more than mass market entertainment. What a load of pretentious drivel.

Looking at the gameplay, I liked how snappy the gun recoil was. The reticle moves more like "BANG! I just fired a fucking gun." Instead of that weird slow wobble shit you get.

I have some buds who say "uhh... I mean some women who crossfit can look like that" and I'm like - "Shit, nigga. Ain't no woman got the shoulders of a fucking Detroit Lion offensive tackle."

The Last of Us 2 is getting review bombed on Metacritic for minority representation & more, and I'm pissed [Tag Spoilers Clearly]

TLOU Pt 2 currently has a 95 critic score on Metacritic, a 3.4 user score. Most of the user reviews are 0 for a 25-30 hour game that came out at midnight, so I know they likely haven't played the whole thing. Most of the reviews are complaining that its "SJW" story, and then complaints about...
