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

In the Director's Cut, Ellie will walk into a rusty bear trap while walking in the field at the end of the game.

The base game clearly did not go far enough to punish her for daring to avenge her surrogate father, now she has to lose a foot too.

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.

That was the dude (Cimino) who also made Deer Hunter, a genuinely phenomenal film, so I wouldn't compare him to Schmuckmann, who is an all around piece of shit with no accomplishments whatsoever.

Also, as much as Heaven's Gate ended up a financial disaster, at least some of this was due to factors that had nothing to do with Cimino, and the film itself has had some degree of critical reevaluation in the 40 or whatever years since it was released.

I never played the original LOU but know it has such a huge impact on the scale of cinematic games and as one of the best games ever, a year on a half on from LOU2 has generated so much vitriol and hatred for the game for what seems to be baffling story decisions, forced Woke politics and unnecessarily dark and cruel tone issues have I doubt durée my interests in the series, I’m thinking of picking up the first games remaster for PS4 but is it even worth it knowing how far the franchise falls? Is LOU2 even worth playing in a so bad it’s good way? Is it really that bad?

People have raged about this as if it’s the worst game of 2020 which really seems overblown, the graphics, music and production values are at least phenomenal, saying it’s one of the worst games Is stupid when you have shit like Superman 64, Ride to Hell retribution and any generic Call of Duty coming out each year. The game probably isn’t a masterpiece as the critics all rated it but it’s not ‘worst game of the year’ material. This whole controversy over a game is silly and overblown.

It's overall just a very dull game where most of what you are doing is just looking for shit rather than doing any meaningful and engaging gameplay. The main issue is just how big of a step back it is from the first and the critics/ devs jerking themself off about the story/themes to the game. So I wouldn't recommend playing it at all.

Also have most of the people who hate it review it much like a movie, mainly looking at the story rather than as a game and never touching on things like the poor game loop and other issues in the gameplay area.

You hit the nail on the head with the rest you wrote on a tec level it is a really well-made game and is in no way a broken mess of a game. It's not the worst game of 2020 but could be the most disappointing or self-sabotaged game.

I mean, it'd still sell like shit since the story was shit and it showed a complete lack of respect to the characters in a narrative story, but it would've probably sold an extra 5 - 10%, so like an extra 500k copies or so yeah.

They needed more actual gameplay segments and not movie sequences.

There's about 60% of the movie sequences that you could have turned into reasonably sized gameplay segments and that would have drastically improved the game way more than any story altering(with the exception of maybe getting rid of the exposition dumps).

So apparently TLOU2 discourse has been on Twitter the past few days not because of the “maybe a director’s cut in late 2022”, but because one of the game’s fans got mad about someone not liking the game and start screaming about how “Turn based RPGS are the worst thing ever and should have stopped existing 20 years ago.”

I can’t fully guarantee that, but that’s what I’m seeing trying to look back on quotes and such.

Eh, it's more that it became obvious that the creator hated his audience and went the extra mile to show it. I think the game would have been hated the same amount regardless of how many journalists sucked him off like they did with that DMC reboot thing. Another game that the creator was told to make a game the audience hated, although he was told to by Capcom and Druckmann is just a dick.

Other than is there any other examples. I know about the whole GDC presentation about the first game and female zombies being mysogonistic or some shit. I was under the impression that at the very least Niel and some devs were proud and happy for the TLOU2. But then the employee that leaked the story was correct. I dunno. I never really cared about TLOU even back when Joe made a review about it, and shilled it.

A friend actually bought that for me for my birthday and I’ve been playing it like crazy too. Half the time I’m not even advancing the plot, just playing side stories/mingames/leveling up jobs.

It's the fact that we have reception wikis tearing down the game and even treating those who like the game to be worse than Adolf Hitler.
