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 currently on sale on PSN for less than 20 bucks, i'm almost tempted to get it because i liked the first one but i reckon it'll be a monthly PS+ game within the year.

It must have absolutely fucking bombed.
Someday, somebody's gonna leak the sales numbers and it will be a glorious day indeed. But even so, the fact Gamestop had to stop accepting returns on a BRAND NEW AAA TITLE OF A POPULAR FRANCHISE ON RELEASE DAY spoke volumes.

IIRC there was some tradeback fuckery sale going on with that, because they'll do this for people who are farming gamestop credit. Like if you bring in 70 copies of one game and even if you split them among different stores, you're making them pay more for the copies than you did.

Soon they'll be paying people to play it. :story:

I think it did good numbers at first but afterwards when word started spreading about what a trashfire the story was sales probably plummeted like a boulder. I've seen a few sales analysts allude to this too. It doesn't help that aside from the 60FPS patch ND has been terrible about supporting it, while GOT got a framerate patch, a free multiplayer mode and an entire story DLC.

Not to mention I doubt the person who played Abby is going to want to come back unless she is paid an obscene amount of money. I'm sure she's gotten more than her fill of hate mail, etc. as well as expressing the fact (through omission) she has nothing nice to say about the character she portrayed.

That was one of my favorite parts of this whole shitshow. Abby's voice actress was never given the context for her voice lines and was absolutely horrified when she played the game. If I remember correctly she called Abby sociopath and a monster.

Are you sure it was the voice actress? I thought it was the model that they used for Abby (she was modeled after a real woman before Druckmann and his team made a few adjustments).

Laura Bailey deserved a better roll than playing abby

The most Based thing I heard from Laura Bailey.

Still does not erase the mind numbing fuckery that is her Twitter.
 
Bailey definitely did not like Abby in the slightest, and even said the only way she could deal with her is with the knowledge that the character is meant to be hated (at least as far as she is concerned). In her own words:

“I knew the story; I knew what I was getting into, and when it hit ‘Day One’ with Abby, I still didn’t like Abby. I didn’t like my performance. I didn’t like the character. I remember playing for like three hours into ‘Day One’ as Abby and talking to [my husband], Travis, and being like, ‘I don’t like what I did. I’m not good. This is terrible. I don’t know how I was cast. All of these years of work is for nothing.’ And Travis is like, ‘Just shut up, go back, and keep playing because you are obviously very biased right now.’ And as I continued to play, then I was like, ‘Oh, okay, I just had to acclimate to myself because I didn’t like me. I didn’t like Abby.’ You’re not supposed to, you know.”
She sure is lucky to have a husband as supportive as Travis Willingham, I gotta say.

And what exactly is up with her on Twitter exactly (I haven't checked her feed)?

The model never said much but she did a live stream of her playing the game the first time and she was horrified to see her likeness engage in bareback butt fucking.

I always thought it was sus that Abby is supposedly a biological women yet her sex scene is an anal one and not only that but her partner penetrates her in a sexual position that's stereotypically seen in gay porn with two male participants.

Not only that, there is almost no foreplay. He just fucking jams it into something. Neil clearly wasn’t paying attention in sex ed.

Have you seen the women's track team from china?

If Hideo Kojima can pass for a woman and win an Olympic medal, so can Abby.

You mean the same track team who was found to be on anabolic steroids where the side-effects make them look more like dudes, and even now people aren't really sure if China was just lying?
I get what you mean though, but if you're gonna judge Druckmann's waifu: at least judge it by his own standards; wherein Abby's a weightlifting goddess getting m a s s i v e g a i n s from their pristine as fuck gymnasium.

There's no doubt that Abby is supposed to be a woman who juices.

Really I think the whole reason the sex scene goes doggy style is because that was simply the easiest to animate. Just have one bend over and the other lean over the other's ass and thrust hips.

If Hideo Kojima actually tried pulling this off in real life I would not be surprised. That man is utterly insane.

Which just breaks the setting further as people did the math and figured that while a woman could look like Abby in real life with all the gains, it would require absolutely ludicrous dedication to a personal fitness program that involved trainers and excessive supplements. Neither of which would exist mere decades after complete societal collapse.

There's also the question why Abbie's group would be willing to spent their football stadium resources on a woman that was a Firefly before.

the easiest would've been for taking of her his shirt off for some booba (how adult and mature!) and fade to black similar to the japanese version, it's the same retarded shit as showing excessive gore because brainlets apparently can't understand clear implications.
