"lens" effects in third person games are retarded, I don't want to feel like I'm playing as a cameraman

Even then. I mean there is realism that increases immersion, and then there's realism that's just annoying.
Like depth of field setting - bitch irl I just focus my eyes on background and have it clear, here it's just blurry shite all the time. Gives a movie effect? I'm not watching a freaking movie mkaay?!

I always turn off chromatic abberation, lens flares and such when I have the choice. Learned you can disable the rain droplets on the screen in The Last of Us II by turning off Accessibility Options > Motion Sickness > Enable Full Screen Effects.

The production values are nice. But that's a double-edged sword that stifles creativity. When you have over 2,000 people (I didn't make that number up.) working on a game, it's much harder for any one of them to make a suggestion. If I had worked there at the time and it was a smaller project with fewer people, maybe someone would have listened to me or read my note in the suggestion box when I said that shoulder swapping would have made more sense on R3, allowed at all times, not just while aiming.

Would be good if some of the upgrades weren't under abilities that you don't really want and have little if anything to do with the other. I hardly ever use the Listening mode, but I have to enhance it if I want certain other upgrades. Those later upgrades already cost more, so why put that extra cost there for something the player doesn't want? I hardly upgrade anything, because it's generally so expensive for so little. Wasted 80 on that rifle scope I hardly get to use.

Aiming is weird. Partly because the game assists. Wish the stealth was better. Wish that merely aiming at an unsuspecting enemy with your gun didn't give them this sixth sense. Well, not quite sixth sense, but it makes them extremely attuned to the outermost regions of their far peripheral vision.

Wish you could aim your gun from low cover without lifting your head. In Uncharted 1, you could actually pop out to the side from low cover, rather than always popping up. Uncharted 2 removed that, and I don't think Naughty Dog ever really improved their cover mechanics, whether it's sticky cover like Uncharted or free cover like The Last of Us. Well, it's nice that you can crouch and lie down. That's an improvement over Uncharted. But your movement options are still so limited that it's hard to aim at any enemy without getting shot at.

Finished it today. God that was grim. Really don't understand the draw to that kind of storytelling. If the characters' actions made sense it would at least be more excusable.
Ellie murders about 150 people to spare one. Joel would be so proud.

Yeah, Abbie is a crappy character design. Just made her arms as big as possible and called it a day. Looked through my photo collection for muscular women and found bodybuilder Lisa Lyon. Much better balance there. Doesn't look like they simply attached a man's arms and shoulders to a woman's body. Admittedly, in some of these photos she's no longer as big.

I know you can find much bigger women, but they look like shit and train far more than Abbie would have time for. Abbie probably also eats an inordinate amount of WLF's food.

Reminds me, those big human enemies are hilarious. The ones who will go on with bullet holes in their faces. That guy whose jaw you cut in half, was he on PCP? Just dumb.

Those 21 floors you descend without an elevator in the spore-infested building were one of my favorite settings in the series.

TLOU2 is the poster child for what I like to call "soy dad core" - developers get hit with their middle age crisis, self-loathing and dropping testosterone counts and turn into whiny woketards trying to prove to the world they're serious artists - which to the retarded mind of the average Western liberal means shitting out post-modernist, nihilist dreck about how everything is bad and sad and you should feel bad and sad too, especially if you're a disgusting heterosexual white man.

Other "masterpieces" belonging to this emerging genre are Max Payne 3, GTA 4, GTA 5, RDR2.

Everything in these games is purposely designed to suck out any modicum of joy and enjoyment out of them - the lackluster gameplay, what little there is, is drowned out by a depressing story filled with horrible people doing horrible things to each other for no good reason, while the audience is constantly being berated and told they should feel like shit for sitting there and playing this pile of shit (which, in all honestly, they should).

Abbie is a crappy character design
Again, as mentioned above, she was specifically designed to be repulsive, *least any heterosexual man in the audience rapes her with his eyes. So yes, it's quite deliberate that she looks like some Frankenstein gorilla experiment that somehow escaped from the tranny lab and is now subsisting on a diet of horse testosterone injections and roids.


*It's kosher for Druckmann to do so though, he's attracted to troons and desperately wants to have sex with them, like every other demented and disgusting kike.

Unless you're making the kind of action/shooter game that doesn't have the camera centered off the shoulder, there is no excuse not to give the player full swapping ability.

I hate seeing sex scenes in games. First time I was exposed to one was in Wolfenstein: The New Order, and it grossed me out back then too. Big reason I never touched the Witcher games. It's just nasty.

Neil Druckman is a piece of shit leftard douche. The guy's a male feminist and bullshitting ally of all women's groups. What does he do? Push the woman who started it all completely out. The guy is a huge fucking predator. Only a matter of time before he's exposed and cancelled.

This is not how the world works.

That's true. It's not how the world works. Still, I have hope.

Eh, all it takes is for one woman to get upset with him and accuse him of rape. He's a male feminist so everyone will believe it.
He's a SJW champion. He can rape anyone and nothing will happen to him.

I would not be surprised to see him go higher considering that BlackRock and Vanguard have a big chunk of Sony. ESG and all that stuff.
