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

I absolutely don't care about games having a larger societal message on purpose, so long as the game/Dev isn't bashing me over the head with it constantly and shoehorning it in at every opportunity. For example, the Metal Gear series developer, Hideo Kojima walked a thin line with this but managed to stay on the side of "gameplay comes first", generally keeping most of his preaching about governmental corruption and the military complex till after you've completed the game.

People complain about the abundance of cutscenes and political wanking in Metal Gear, but the difference is those scenes are also entirely skippable. Plus the gameplay itself can be enough to carry the experience if you choose to ignore the story. What does The Last of Us have if you ignore the story? A bog standard third person stealth-action game with occasional shooting. And even then, the story is omnipresent during gameplay with the ingame conversations with Ellie and the painfully slow walking scenes, and you can be damn well sure they're going to continue that trend with Part 2.

No matter how much bullshit you observe over Stinky Lesbian's left shoulder, it will never be as emotionally affective as the baby Metroid's sacrifice in Super Metroid, and that was over 20 years ago.

Naughty Dog will not and can not manage with dozens of pages of shitty scripted scenes what a handful of Japanese guys accomplished with narry a word spoke by the protagonist. A strong, female protagonist, no less.

The thing is a lot of the good employees of Naughty Dog were let go. Including the female director of Uncharted which was why the last one had 'woke' shit in it. She also worked on TLOU. These faggot hipsters love this whole shit and ruined the company. I'm not joking when I say they fired everyone who didn't fit their morality. TLOU 2 is going to be the first game without all the decent people. We shall see if it sucks or not

I really liked The Last of Us Part 1. There was an aesthetic to its scenes that I find hits close to home even if the gameplay isn't really the best. I hate that it had to be the next target in the line of fire to woke pandering shit but it doesn't surprise me. Naughty Dog will just add its name to the countless other companies that chose to give themselves up to needless politics just to quiet the baying of the tumblr-hounds.

What they did to Amy Hennig should be a fucking war crime.

I'm excited for this game because I'm a sucker for abandoned places and urban exploration, and TLOU1 had some really nice, detailed environments. The first section beyond the Boston wall, the entirety of Bill's town, the flooded street before the hotel, the hotel foyer, that suburb right after the sewer, and Salt Lake City in particular were pure kino for me.

I don't really care much about the lesbian thing, I just want my Urbex Simulator 2.

The exploration apparently sucks, you'd be better off playing Metro Redux. Horizon Zero Dawn also gave you more freedom and that had loads of abandoned buildings.

Delayed indefinitely.

What I think it is, all the plants that make copies are shut down and they don't know when they will be back up.

They are probably close to final code and going gold.

considering we haven't really seen anything and no hyping at all I highly doubt they would've made that date even without corona. it's more likely that
- sony delayed it to make it crossplat as a ps5 launch title
- druckman's retarded "game is not meant to be fun" bit him in the ass when one of the sony execs played the final version and now they have to retool it completely because "engaging with the character" isn't enough for a million dollar game unless you're some commifornia cunt with a pedo streak self-inserting as ellie's rugmuncher.

Sony really doesn't want the third person adventure game's reputation to be maligned because they just invested a whole ton of money to make similar games out of their main SM studio.

So the virus could have saved us from trashing one of the biggest most expensive video game bombs of all time.

The only good thing I can say is that they removed Multiplayer and supposedly the first game may be re-released with the DLC in 4k resolution lacking the multiplayer content as a bargain title (just like how Uncharted was re-released). It would finally allow you to 100% the game without needing to play the stupid multiplayer.

This is gonna be unpopular, but I enjoyed the multiplayer of TLoU. Because it was slower, you could build stuff and turn a bad situation around, and it encouraged teamwork.

Dunno what's unpopular about that -- the multiplayer was pretty fun. I mean the shooting mechanics still sucked ass but it was enjoyable...at least until they put the pay-to-win DLC weapons in the game.
 
Seems like some crunched as fuck devs got really mad, footage is being uploaded on YT as we speak:

Joel dies in the first 2 hrs, you play half of the game as the girl who killed him (other butch girl), Ellie becomes a villain and loses everything she loves because she gets a reputation as a murderer.
