I can't even hate watch it. As soon as they cast a goblino and a potato for both Joel and Ellie is when I had written it off. And you find out Sara is a niglet, Yeah, no.
Sarah being black wasn´t a dealbreaker for me since she only lasts for the prologue.

Also
1. Joel unintentionally used her as a shield
2. She stole his money to fix his watch
3. first important character dies which leads to
4. Be black, die first (no exceptions)

What was the dealbreaker had been Tess´ death because of how fucking dirty they did her.
 
Hate watching would still give the show way more credit. Remember, people hate-watch Velma just for the show to be successful and not realize that the creator of the show wanted people to do just that.
People are stupid, it's the way of the world.

Those who are sensible that legitimately don't want to support something shit will drop it entirely. No hate-watching, no "X made me watch it" excuses, just walk away.
 
Taking this here to stop shitting up the show thread


With @Wesker I've already reached an "agree to disagree" point, but I want to poke a bit more at this.

Some context, I don't believe Last of Us deserves as much accolades as it gets, by far, when it's basically just another iteration of the Uncharted formula but with a sad story instead of an adventure one. Wesker and Involuntary disagreed with me and here we are. Wesker stated that it's the most important game from the 2010s to play, I disagree heavily with this, thinking that if anything it would be Dark Souls due to how the thing pretty much created a genre out of thin air and put git gud into the map in a time where games were more and more becoming amusement park rides. One could also state that both were monkey palm games due to how many copycat tendencies they generated in the industry... but I'd say that's a topic for another thread.

So context stated, I don't get what TLoU did that wasn't already a thing. Where did it iterate beyond Uncharted for example? This is an honest question since I've barely played Uncharted. Was it just better presentation? Better seamlessness of narrative and gameplay? What made this one be the jewel of the crown? So for example, @Involuntary Celebrity , what narrative issues did Last of Us solve design wise that were still lingering? Again, for context, I missed out on the PS2 and PS3 generation and played Last of Us on PS4 with the first remaster.

Also, as for the TLOU derangement syndrome I could say the same about the constant dickriding of it as well. But sticking to the point, yes, making it escort missions would probably not be the wisest, but you can't deny that while playing, seeing Ellie go out of cover, spaz out for a bit and the enemy NPCs not even bat an eye wasn't distracting as fuck. This in the super immersive realistic game. It's one of the first things that I noticed when playing, "they didn't even bother tackling the difficulty of having an AI sidekick you have to protect" outside of the few moments where the enemy npcs can interact with her, so it's another shooter with an AI companion, but the companion isn't annoying because it's divorced from the gameplay for the most part outside of giving you some ammo here and there. So that brings me, to what did the gameplay do that was revolutionary? Was the steatlh top notch? Was the gunplay topnotch? Was the AI topnotch? Was the crafting topnotch? Was it that it had all the styles at the same time? (and all of these questions get a "for the time" clause added to them).
Nobody's gonna write you a design essay just to get a "nuh uh" or be accused of being a fan even though the game was popular before the sequel was announced.
Plenty has been written already, there's probably GDC postmortem videos or something you can find if you legitimately give a shit.
 
Hate watching would still give the show way more credit. Remember, people hate-watch Velma just for the show to be successful and not realize that the creator of the show wanted people to do just that.
They're using media credit analytics garbage to lie to the investors and the higher ups at the moment, meaning you talking about it actually raises its profile to their fake as fuck numbers. We'll see how many hate-watchers actually bothered with it when the Nielsens come up.

I predict highish due to how fucking terrible it was and how little HBO max had at that point, and then a rapid collapse after that since it's absolutely unfunny and only has being a horrid fucking show to talk about for reviewers.

As for TLOU? It's only decent because the first game did a good job in being good. You can tell Cuckman is setting up part 2 though given how Joel was handled; ie a weak bitch who gets brow beaten by a potato who can't act.

Exactly. If it's not worthy to watch, just don't watch. It's not rocket science. Instead of making endless clickbait videos on how it's bad, just take some advice from Jay Sherman for once.
 
God, watching everyone simping for the third episode sickens me to my very core. Not only its a huge separation from the source material but its a borderline fantasious take on homosexual relationships. I mean, basically the episode is "Enough of the plot of the, you know, source material, here is a completely unnecessary change to show you what homosexual couples look like in the eyes of those with low testosterone and grass touching time". Instead of having Joel and Ellie meet Bill, they just meet their bodies and then find his shit and its onwards they go. No more tension and team work, just the plot deciding it has your attention so now its time to appeal to "modern sensitivities" or some garbage like that.

Shit like this reminds me that people deserve what they get. They may complain but then they gladly eat more from them the moment they get some passable. Fucking pathetic.


And the worst part? The Drinker says its the best episode of all of them until now.


My god, this series is just revealing most of the people I watch/watched are just following trends. What, Drinker, are you afraid that the entertainment industry will reject you if you dare criticise this piece of globo homo propaganda? I mean, its clear you want to do more with your life, like writing books and being involved in a movie and you cant get anywhere without the elites's favor. Geeks and Gamers also sung their praises for the first ep.

Most of these "critics" have no fucking balls when it matters. Its easy to pick on Abby, no one likes her as much the media pretends its not the case. Its far more risky to go against what is clearly propaganda from the elites.

Then when we get to Abby, everyone will act like they are rebels for saying she is awful, while people like me always knew and will never be recognised for knowing and warning everyone of so.

Every time people such as Drinker speaks, this song plays in my mind

Nice to see another "based youtuber" out himself as a faggot. Either he is sucking globohomo for optics like you suggest or since it's a story about the gays he goes all softball to be nice. Had stopped watching since his format is so repetitive (the fart and the vomit clip made me eye roll after a few videos) but I see no reason to bother looking at him again.

Well, at least for now Synthetic Man seems to be the only one not cucking (and he pulled no punches about the fun series of issues that constant anal generates and nobody ever wants to talk about).

Hopefully he wont be next.

He does play Fallout 1 like shit tho
 
i cant really edit quotes into posts so accept this double post instead

to which i say that is incorrect (timestamp 7:45 in)
does say she's a best friend tho which is the closest you get to being right
Wait-this is from the remaster? I swear Riley wasn’t gendered at all in the original because I wondered at the time (when it originally came out)if Riley was a boy or a girl.

Maybe I’m crazy but I’m convinced I’m right

It was there in the original. But Riley was always originally just referred to as her best friend. It wasn't until later that Druckmann decided that the series needs a teenage romance

:story:
 

The popularization of video games was a mistake. The push to have video games seen as art was a mistake. Cut scenes and a focus on story in games was a mistake.

I don't wholeheartedly believe any of the above statements - except maybe the first, as the popularize of anything in current year simply leads to a sharp decrease in quality and a draining of actual talent or fucks given within the industry targeted - but holy fuck, what is that tweet?

"Um, yeah, my game franchise has 2 entries, DLC, a remaster, and a television show. One of the mainline titles is divisive as shit, and the television show hasn't finished airing in all its glory but GoT turned out great so here we go again! Most of its output also came out within the space of 5 years. Yer Halo could never, giga white hetero Chads."

People genuinely think this way. They really fucking do. And that's the worst part.

I get the team mentality, wanting to be hurdle up. It happens in every sphere, male and female, and has probably since the dawn of humanity. It's part of the reason why we're in this current cultural period - narcissists and creeps teaming up to shame the normal assholes so they can be degenerates in private but not feel bad because I helped a black person cross the street or whatever.

But this is absolute lunacy. It's a blatant disregard for reality. You do not have to give a rat's ass about the Halo franchise but claiming TLoU is more iconic than a game franchise twice its age is stupid. And it always happens. Perpetually tossing out or ignoring what came before in the interest of new thing because new thing is all they know about and caters to their flights of fancy. I hate Twittermoids.

TL;DR: :story: indeed.

Yeah I don't know why I didn't remember that when I've beaten the game dozens of times, but it's in the PS3 version as all the lines completely the same from both versions.

Further evidence the decay already started with the Left Behind DLC

Idk, man, both were franchises beloved by many until the people that made what it was left and thus being left in the hands of incompetent fuckwits who couldnt write their way out of a Happy Meal's puzzle toy.

Halo does have more "good" entries to look back upon at least and the multiplayer community is still going meanwhile TLoU's is dead at best and non existent in Part 2's case :hah:

They both have garbage tier tv show adaptations made by the same type of talentless mongoloids tho...

Thats why I say the "best" age of gaming was the PS2 era. The balance of tech and creativity was perfect, graphics were good enough so you dont have to constantly use your imagination but they werent so good to the point thats all that what you were here for. Narrative usually was at its peak with classics like RE4, SH 2/3, MGS 2/3 and the list goes on.

We were also getting some attention from the mainstream but not enough to lead to them ruining everything.

Also gaming still felt, idk, something reachable? Because either you have a high budget or your game aint going anywhere beyond maybe the indie scene (outside of extremely rare exceptions like Undertale). There are no Serious Sams for example, games you could do with a lesser budget but still be able to produce something fun/presentable enough. Now everything has got to look next gem or some shit like that.

Gaming kind of lost its humanity if that makes any sense. Its a business now, an industry. Games WERE art before but now we are in the "Post Modern" phase if you get what I mean.

PS2 is definitely gaming's peak. It was that sweet spot of the start of the mid 00s where you had such a stable of legendary classics. It's one thing to be nostalgic for those games when they were new. And that was the case for a long time. But now most of us are nostalgic for them since everything is I support the current thing and diversity, equity and inclusion bullshit. The selling point for the normal, average gamer is no niggers and no faggots. Which is why FFXVI is appealing to me since they said in not so many words for marxist fags to fuck off.

Left Behind was the first time I noticed globohomo shit in a game and that was 2013. I'm sure it existed somewhere before.
 
The release of the PC Port of TLOU1 has been pushed back, from March 3, to March 28, presumably to line up with the ending of the HBO show:

And some no-named (?) voice actor, made this statement about the TLOU show, and people not liking it:

1. Korean's do better deviations even though their choice in music is fucking shit. (Imagine Dragons in Sweet Home?)

They don't raceswap the characters or in Tess' case give them even worse deaths or traits.

2. Lead always was Joel, he's the main protagonist, you play as him for the most part of the game and only the DLC revealed Ellie is gay.

"Watch them instead" radiates the same energy as "play something else"
