Imagine giving a shit about woke bullshit in video games. If It's western AAA it will have pandering, just ignore it and see if the actual game is any good or take the indie pill

It's in all big media ("gotta get that ESG score up for the investors!") so unless someone plays 100% small indie titles you will have pandering to some degree, it's all about how much of it is, and if it's in the key elements or just in some side stuff... here it does seem to be in too many key things, i don't know exactly how tainted that is though.

Haven't read this thread yet, so I don't know if it's come up, but recently Sonyfags on Twitter have been trying to turn this game into a Death Stranding-esque "misunderstood cult classic". Their evidence of this is "woah animation so purty!! gud grafix!!" Sonyfags truly are the lowest form of organic matter

If that's what they're doing then it's fucking dumb. The animations, the visuals and all that are the easiest things to evaluate even if that also require some experience and well, taste. Of course it's easier than leaning on "violence is bad mkay" or even muh tribalism. Or Krishna forbid, to tell how important some woke messages in it and that's why it's so invaluable piece of mass cult.

I thought the first game was overhyped malarkey and never really thought about this IP until a friend started playing it recently, but these leaks are top shelf garbage

This whole "bUt w|-I0msT is ReElly teh villain!?!?!?!?" shit could maybe work in the hands of someone that really knows what they're doing, but even then it's up there with "w0w it vauz awl a dreem!!!!1" among overplayed plot twists that're more annoying than thought-provoking most of the time

Y'know I nearly forgot I posted here until you guys showed up in my alerts while I was lubing up to deliver another 40 pages of... that thing I do. I know I could always, y'know, unwatch threads, but I don't actually post in a lot of places so it's not usually a huge deal. It's not a big deal here either, I actually have an update for you on my friend's experience playing the game. (The second game, specifically - when I originally posted, he was playing through the first. He's since finished the second.)

For context, this friend is the exact kind of woke weenie the pandering in this game would appeal to. He's been having a "crisis of identity" lately, he speaks like a goddamn twitter post (take a shot for every "yikes," "wholesome," "content warning" and "(incoherent keyboard smashing)" and you'll be dead by the eleventh message) and he's under this strange impression that pretending to be happy to the point where it's genuinely disturbing will cure his untreated depression. Nothing against him as a person, guy's got problems and when he isn't caught up in dumb political fads he has decent taste in RPGs. Anyway, you get the fucking point, by all metrics he should have loved this game.

Except he didn't - he fucking hated it. In fact, I'm not sure I've seen him hate anything more than this game, aside from maybe Skyrim. And even then, I'm not sure Skyrim stole 50 bucks from him.
TL;DR proof that a game can have all the diversity in the world and still suck wang

So to be clear, the woke morons have abandoned the LUL FASTEST SELLING GAME EVAR BREAKS RECORDS SO POPULAR SMASH HIT LUL crap that they were spewing and now it's a 'cult classic'.

Your moms panty drawer
Since you can't read, i didn't play the entire game, i played 3-4h
Then stop trying to say it's not as woke as people say it is. If you don't know then shut the fuck up.
As i said, i refuse to support the game because its indeed woke and political.
Props for that, but you still said something retarded and needed to be called out on it.

Whoa there gamer, calm down. :( Ease off the g-fuel.

Twenty dollars now. Still too much? I found the first game average.

15 dollars now. Most PlayStation AAA games under that price aren't in print anymore, so not much point in waiting longer. Yeah, Neil Druckmann is a big douche and neither The Last of Us nor Uncharted 4 were good, but for fifteen dollars I'm willing to try out his latest art game. The Lost Legacy WAS good, which just supports my belief that he should never direct or write another Naughty Dog game.

Paying 15 dollars for them to shit in your mouth is still 15 dollars too much.

I literally wouldn't play this crap if it were free.

Except for the expansion DLC, which was garbage, the first game was good.

Also it was a shooter on consoletrash. Why the hell would you want to play a shooter with a controller?

The first game was 95% story and world, and the gameplay was wildly overrated. I can't see myself ever bothering with the second.

Gameplay was overrated and story wasn't even that good. Never really bought into it or cared, their relationship. Clickers got old quick. Post above reminds me, I was irritated about not being able to turn off the aim assist tracking of enemies. Why when Uncharted let you play without?

If I was thinking of playing a game like this I'd probably play Days Gone instead.
Fifty dollars on Steam. Will have to wait a couple of years. If it were a GOG game, I'd just pirate it.
Just pirate the steam version?
Used to do that a lot, but more of a hassle. Last Steam game I pirated, The TakeOver, wouldn't even crack/work. If I'm gonna keep something on my computer or in my archives, I'd rather it be DRM and crack-free.

I would like the police inspect the Hard Disks of all the people who liked this game.
