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

Another former ND staff member reveals the crunch that he was subject to during TLOU2's development:

Also, the pilot episode from the HBO TLOU adapation has finished filming.
Firstly, why the fuck are the people so ignorant about TLOU II's crunch? Is it because of the AWARDZ AND SHIT that was placed all over the corpse that they won't desecrate it or they have double standards? Secondly, we are about to experience the next GoT Season 8 and this time, in a Videogame to TV adaptation.

Because once something is known to be disliked by the "chuds" SJWs have to defend it literally no matter what.

It's the same deal with Zoe Quinn, in that case they literally let her get away with theft and murder, there's literally nothing that will make an SJW admit "yeah, ok, thing/person is bad after all"

Anthony Burch did. Yet he still defended her because "GamerGate made it impossible to criticize her" or something.

I think there are some factors, in my opinion

1- The shill media doing their hardest to hide this or diminish the severity of it. That includes shutting up the people speaking out against it (the left is all about worker's rights until it isnt). Its either "didnt happen, bro" or "its so exaggerated!". The media hides how much your average dev suffers under the boots of their superiors while glamourizing the career path as "making games, yo!"...almost like there are ulterior motives there.

2- Most people have no idea about the insane and crushing work devs go through, nor they care to know. Most gamers and coonsumers only care about the quality of the project and the "message". They dont mind if, to send their message of love and rights to the downtrodden, legalized slave labor is required, as long as that message is sent and they are satisfied in their own little world. Social media hasnt done any favors to people's empathy, hence why devs making these posts detailing their suffering usually goes over the heads of these people.

Also, dont worry, media will do all it can to defend TLOU now. GOT had the disavantage of being so shit, even the left hated it, but now TLOU has woke idealogy behind it to protect it. So its similar but not quite the same.

The sad thing is that there will be people that will watch it not because of its quality but so they can "own" the "conservative scum". Thats so fucking pathetic but it works, what can I say?
 
The fact that people are bitching about the story ass pulls still and not the lack of interactive sections shows, that even if they did the story right they would have still fucked the landing because they forgot to make a game in the first place.

Like God of War has a way more solid foundation when it comes to gameplay and that came out in 2018, same with Ghosts of Tsushima.
 
And here's another one of "those" types of reviews, even the reviewer's voice himself tells a lot in terms of the type of person that likes the game:

 
  • Informative
Reactions: Judge Dredd
I think by now, most people have forgotten about this game, to still making making videos defending TLoU2 nowadays, that's some... dedication, i guess?
If anything, they've ironically proved that TLOU2 has a shit story if they're still making videos like this a year after the game came out. TLOU1 didn't need these "the game is genius and here's why" videos to make people love it, certainly not ones a literal year later.

Do you even need to ask? Double standards galore.

Yup. But if they do have to start disliking something, e.g. JK Rowling, suddenly it was always terrible and any complaints they'd previously ignored suddenly become things they believed all along.

There's always someone willing to attack anything from the left, even a lefty darling. There's a few criticisms of TLOU 2 from an identity politics perspective listed in this thread, because someone is always, always willing to be woker than thou. But the vast majority of those concerns are handwaved away because, importantly to these people, TLOU 2 has been designated on the right side of history and it owns those evil gamergater types. If the disagreement is from what they consider 'the alt-right', they will try and shout it down and insult the person talking; if it's from a wokist they'll at best murmur something noncommittal and then promptly ignore it.

The bigger the SJW darling, the worse the woke scandal has to be. JK Rowling had been making based comments about troons for a while, but it wasn't until she unequivocally stated that biological sex is real that all of a sudden she was a devil, and you had to denounce her and all her works. Game of Thrones was never a woke darling in the same way, so it wasn't so much about that steep decline in quality as it was that the little white saviour who was against slavery that all the wine aunts over-identified with stopped being someone to name your daughter after, rather than any of the myriad other problems that the show developed.

TLOU 2 is really only a woke darling because of owning the chuds; the success of its gameplay was never really an issue, and people who praised it usually did so using words like 'important', 'inclusive', 'representation', 'strong female characters' and thinking relentlessly grim in a game automatically makes it deep and meaningful. If troons weren't involved, I'd think stories about the crunch involved would be enough to start knocking it off its pedestal, but troon armour is valuable in SJW world, so I think it would take some proper Blizzard-level sex scandals at this point. Until that point, it's just going to be the usual double standards of SJWS - crunch isn't a problem when they do it.

As an aside, I'm not at all optimistic about the TLOU TV show, but it's always worth waiting for the final product - or at least substantial leaks and/or proper press. Unfortunately the point where something gets revealed to be wokeshit in the place of entertainment can be anywhere from conception - see 'High Guardian Spice' - to not until you see the final product - see the new Kevin Smith He-Man. Still, with a big HBO adaptation, while not as bad a sign as if it was being done by Netflix, there's a lot to be wary about, and I think it will be fairly early on when footage comes out to be able to tell how successfully they've adapted it.

Its what I say, this is what happens when you have generations of people of all ages practically either raised by social media or have their views heavily shaped by it, they are raised into "heroes" that can do no wrong. For as much they throw the "its not so simple", they have a VERY black and white view of the world. Its almost Chris Chan-ish in nature, anyone that doesnt go along with them must obviously be a cartoonish villain that worships Trump. Its a total absolute that they either dont care or are aware of.

TLOU2 is TLJ of gaming. As in, people only talk about it either to mindless defend it or to say that the hatred against the product has some deep rooted problems into the usual "isms" and "phobic" that the media loves to throw around towards people they dont like.

Its a desperate attempt at getting recognition as being "the one" that makes the "trolls" see the "errors" of their ways. Of course, they get insulted for the nigger ass gay sex cucks that they are and slowly sink back into irrelevancy.

If anything, they've ironically proved that TLOU2 has a shit story if they're still making videos like this a year after the game came out. TLOU1 didn't need these "the game is genius and here's why" videos to make people love it, certainly not ones a literal year later.

Usually you TLOU1 used to get these videos explaining why the game is so beloved and etc. They have this context of "yeah, we love this game but what it does that works so well?"

The ones about TLOU2 always have this VERY defensive tone, as if they know this is an uphill battle they know they most likely wont win, to convince that YOU, the consumer, is wrong "and here is why!"

Its very desperate and pathetic.

Imagine being such a mindless capitalist consoomer slave that you base literally your entire identity on games for children. It's on the level of pathetic as taking seriously whether Coke or Pepsi is better and deciding the drinkers of one of them are pure evil and if they don't like your choice, they're literally a Nazi.

When you spent most of your life being defined by your time in digital lalaland, you can bet you will have no interesting personality besides what you coonsume.

Why else you think these people are addicted with identity politics ? They themselves lack an identity and think this will solve it.
