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

Like you're not getting a Chimera of dead bodies melded together to form some shambling horror or any type of real body horror type stuff.
That's actually the only boss fight against a zombie in the whole game. I like it, but it's just the same corpseball from Demon's Souls and Castlevania.

I mean something a more unique like this

Like the fungus could effectively work as a binding agent to mesh two bodies of unrelated species together.

There's also a lack of zombie wildlife and zoolife, they never really got creative with any of their encounters.

Yeah that would have been neat, instead of a bunch of identical fungus monsters and regular humans the entire time. There's a manga called Gigantis that's literally just your post as a premise but it only has three or four chapters out and is regrettably not a video game or quite as cool as that picture.
 
I admit I am a bit morbidly curious as to what a "director's cut" of TLOU2 would contain.

I love that they have to bundle the multiplayer with the Director's Cut because that's the only way they can claim the Director's Cut is even going to do decently with sales.

Joel and Ellie are going to openly horrible people and Abby's going to be even more of a Mary Sue and Neil's going to talk about this was always the plan or whatever and the audience isn't owed likable characters.
 
Abby's whole model is going to be redone and she'll resemble a woman.

As for multiplayer, it's being released in a market that's crowed with multiplayer shooters. I think it's being sent out just to die because of how much it's mirring what happened to Anthem.

Sony has other larger multiplayer games supposedly in the works and are being made with studios who have a history with shooters. I do not think Factions will wind up as a major competitor in the space just because of that.

Why was the first games multiplayer received so well? I got into it really late and never understood the popularity.
It was similar to Uncharted's multiplayer which was really the only major multiplayer game in town for the PS3. But now you're very much spoiled for choice.

They kept trying to replicate it which is why God of War Ascension even had a Multiplayer mode.

Finally got round to playing and beat Last of Us 2 to see how bad it is.

The gameplay is an improvement over the first with much more movement options in combat. The encounters I found less memorable than the original but not bad. There are a number of larger areas to fight in which are far bigger than anything in the original game and they do stuff this time with the different factions fighting each other something not seen until the DLC in the first game.

The gameplay loop is not good, due to the story and the bigger location sizes it has way more downtime in the game and you end up just looking for equipment rather than anything else more engaging such as stealth, gunplay or even puzzels.

The story is self is pretty much what has been said before an overlong and drawn out story with very repetitive themes that aren't looked at with the depth the writers think they are. The fact you play 1/3 of the game as the character who killed Joel is an interesting idea but an interesting idea doesn't mean good execution.

Abby, I ended up feeling nothing for as she really doesn't have much of a personality of her own with the writers instead choosing to make everything about her a parallel to Joel or Ellie as a lazy way to make you care for her and to convey the themes. Abby isn't a character rather than a lazy native tool.

Ellie has a love triangle with a baby in the mix then Abby has to as well. Ellie had giraffes then Abby gets Zebras. Ellie pets a dog then Abby has to have a dog and it is like that for pretty much everything. The worst case of this is when they rehash the whole adult protecting a child with a secret thing with Abby being the stand-in for Joel, Lev for Abby and Yara for Tess.

The story due to the pacing, how long many of the areas are and the issues stated above it ends up feeling really dull.

Uncharted 2 really is the start of ND downfall. In Uncharted 2 after a huge action setpiece on a train instead of going right into another action part or even a platforming or a puzzle they have this have slow walk throw a Tibetan village which was honestly a nice change of pace and very well done. However, once the game came out and that part was praised Neil Druckmann kept doubling down on it, first with the Last of Us 1 which did work for that game then with Uncharted 4 which really hurt that game and now with the Last of Us 2 where the what you could call the Tibetan village moments now make up most of the game.

The game does a lot right, it looks amazing, the gameplay for what little it has is good, most of the acting is good if not great, the music is also good but the issue is Neil Druckmann thinks he is a better writer than he is and doesn't put gameplay first.
 
More anal sex with trannies.
IIRC the sex scene doesn't even have proper models and you see texture stretching from the areas not visible by the camera.

Nexus Mods for Skyrim have more visible graphic detail.

But I also would not be surprised if a Director's Cut removes this scene, most countries got it altered in some way. Since TLOU TV show is intended for a global release they're not going to want to upset the apple cart since Uncharted and TLOU are the first forays into the multimedia cross promotion in terms of live action. They exist to set the stage for Horizon and God of War which are happening later. 2022 is also the first year where Sony starts bringing out anime series tied to games with Legend of Heroes.

It's a very long term plan they have for all of this, the fact that they had to restructure most of the assorted branches just for this means they can't have it fuck up out of the gate. But there's also the fact that shows like The Witcher while not amazingly good, have generated sizable fanbases despite the show being lacking and have lead to an uptick in game sales for a game that's many years old at this point. The bar isn't that high to clear in order to reap the rewards for software sales it seems.

Given it's Neil, I'm actually going to state he goes harder on the gay tranny sex.

Because he's consistently proven that he's a delusional hack with no talent that wants to act like the fucking retard who made the Heaven's Gate film.
