    That is necessarily a power fantasy of its own, though, the one where you get to go mad with power. Because it doesn't work to go mad without power, that's just boring, no one listens to you.

    Watching this from the side lines and laughing my ass off. I had the good sense of never bothering with the first game after seeing this video a few years ago. Self important, obnoxious, greasy SJW cuck will make shitty SJW games, colour me surprised...

    The funniest thing about this whole controversy is anyone pretending that the first game was any good or not equally full of political messages and virtue signaling. A sequel being worse does not make the previous installment good.

    So... Joel probably indirectly made her into transgender and now he/she wants revenge? What a twist!

    It was funny when everyone was shitposting 10 pages ago, but now not so much. Especially when users would rather just go with the misinformation and ignore the clarifications that came afterwards..

    Imagine working for years on a GAME that nobody wants to PLAY because a plot summary leaked.

    It'll be good to the mainstream, if it will be good to codexers however, that's irrelevant. Users here already said it would be shit before it was announced and before the leaks.

    Imagine how tragic it would've been for us if back in the day someone had spoiled X-COM, Doom, Master of Magic for us. Hell, lets even throw Monkey Island since it's also story heavy like this game is. Oh, wait, it wouldn't make a difference. None of these games were carried solely by a story, or any story at all. I think people are missing the larger issue here, which is the fact that these devs wasted years on what is essentially a useless product now. People would've still bought it for the fun gameplay even if the plot was spoiled, but it doesn't have fun gameplay. Customers have no reason to buy this anymore since it has a hyper focus on story and any kind of gameplay that exists within it is merely functional at best.

    Because they believed that Joel was dead instead is alive only to meet a pissy end.

    If you read the review of ltou1 that is labeled as "best game ever, It isn't even a game, so immersion that you won't have fun. So emotional the fact that Joel sacrifice his life to save Ellie. Gameplay doesn't exists and infected ignore Ellie but the story is so engaging that you won't notice".

    To be fair, people who caught spoilers would still buy it, if the leaked story was good.

    Game would have been much cooler if they subverted expectations, killed Ellie off, and had the game focus on Joel getting revenge. They could have wrote in them getting what they needed from Ellie in regards to synthesizing a possible cure so the first game wouldn't have been for naught.

    Or even just a plot that's more than a single twist.

    I can't think of a single way one could have leaked New Vegas and meaningfully damaged the product since the big end-game thing (battle for the dam) is obvious from the start and everything else would basicly just be spoiling a sidequest or some random thing the player can do as I think the only truly crit path stuff is go to Vegas>Kill House>Install Yes Man>Start Dam Fight.

    Mask of the Betrayer? The curse is complicated enough it's hard to meaningfully spoil in anything short of a paragraph.
    Show Spoiler
    "The spirit eating is a priest of Kelemvor cursed for opposing the wall of the faithless"

    leaves so much interesting stuff out and requires familiarity with FR lore to even understand the spoiler.

    Deus Ex? The only real twist (UNATCO) happens relatively early into the game and you get told pretty flat out its corrupt right after the demo ends (Simons killing prisoner). Bloodlines? Closer, but even if you know about the bomb or the "Father", there's so much more to the plot.

    That's probably because 1) no one gave a fuck about new vegas; 2) it was an open world role-playing game. Leaks don't cause damage if nobody cares to read them.

    Ehhh. I honestly thought that game was going to amount to Joel having some serious regrets after basically making Ellie into a murderous monster.

    It's really the games that don't feature an "evil path" that really let you truly be evil. Games like CK2 have you obliterating entire noble houses just so the lines on the map will be clean. In a movie about you, you'd be villain, but on the other hand, what you do is for the good of the realm. But you're the Evil Empire. HOI4 lets you play as a Nazi and be LITERALLY HITLER. Stellaris lets you be Palpatine. So you can be absolutely evil as fuck, but there's none of that pointlessly mustache-twirling "evil" path there.
