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

At this point it feels like the zombies may as well not even be in this franchise anymore as it pretty much revolves entirely around gay drama instead now.

It is pretty ironic that a game supposedly about plant zombies barely even cares about them besides being 'the threat' that caused the collapse of civilization.

Except the plot somehow forgot even that because Abby's group in the second game somehow has access to a fucking hydroelectric dam that they've kept running for a decade without actual licensed experts, training, or a supply of steady replacement parts because you just don't run hydroelectric generators for a decade straight without them inevitably breaking down. And given how fucking loud such an installation is, between the noise of the generators themselves as well as the sound of rushing water, somehow the blind zombies never once attacked it.

And what do they do with this critical resource? Power some fucking fairy lights.

That's not even getting into how people applied reality to Abby and pointed out that she shouldn't be able to exist as a roided out psycho without a professionally designed fitness plan and processed supplements that wouldn't exist a decade out from the collapse of modern society.

The first game works because it doesn't need to answer all these questions that rip apart the setting being even the least bit plausible, the focus is on the relationship between Joel and Ellie. The second game is Cuckman being a pissy little shit that he didn't get his revenge plot, so he executes Joel as part of it and, well, suddenly it's this revenge plot drama that everybody is wasting time over instead of, y'know, surviving the fucking zombies, while also shoving himself in the thing as a collectible card about the super evil, super smart villain 'Dr. Uckman'.

Druckman wasn't the game director for the First Last Of Us game, he wasn't even an executive producer he was one of six writers.

I have no idea how he managed to convince so many people he was responsible for the success of the first game.

true but he is still a director of the game, specifically creative director, which means he's responsible for basically the entire story, art direction, tone, and etcetera to make sure the various departments of the development team align vision of the game and basically had to give the go ahead for pretty much any and all artistic aspects to the game

Hes Jewish, if you watched the trailer for the latest shitty ND game it has them claiming to be personally responsible for Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, games that predated the resumes of any of the current staff living there.

This is Druckmann we're talking about here, the guy who tries to sell himself as some gaming messiah with hot takes like, "Video games were always so boring and generic like Mario. Then I made The Last of Us and changed everything."

It's the ego of Duke Nukem without being an awesome alien asskicker.

pretty much every zombie movie ends up being about petty drama and/or same sex relationships sodomy.

The age of zombies being threatening is over, it's all about zombiepuss now.

1. Zombies will be a stand-in allegory for an oppressed minority group.
2. Zombies will be shown with families and integrated pack dynamics or having “feelings” think I Am Legend.
3. You’ll have a side character with a zombie partner and it will be portrayed as stunning and brave.

And from what it sounds like they used zero of his ideas, which he spilled into the faggot sequel.

So... what George Romero did with his "of the Dead" movies?

He's done that since Day, and was really egregious with shit messaging in Land.

I'm about halfway through the sequel (the tunnels after the TV station with the first couple of Shamblers) and I'm susprised at how little ammo I'm finding. Literally single rounds lying around and not even all that often. For the first time in a while I'm forced to conserve ammo in a video game. I'm playing on hard and there's two difficulty settings higher than that, surprisingly. It's fine, though. This is not my first rodeo and having to make shots count is somewhat refreshing.

Like that mission in Fallout 3 where you convince the residents of tenpenny tower to open their doors to ghouls and when you return you find that the ghouls killed everyone inside lmfao.
