The Last Of Us 2 - now with protagonist-murdering trannies

[Sentinel]

TheSentinel, bro, why are you whiteknighting this normie pap? You of all people, mostly active on the weaboo forum with all those gameplay-centric games is allhu-akbaring The Last of Us of all games?

Literally everything about this game is impressive only in relative vacuum. Stealth is barely a feature, gunplay is serviceable at best and you'll be only impressed by the story if you have never read a single good book in your life and the only movies you ever watch is Marvel and Transformers.

This game is a patron saint of American commercial mediocrity, a videogame equivalent of Dunning-Kruger.

I don't really see it as white knighting. I just don't see the good in the diarrhea that have been the past 10 pages, and half the people talking about a game they've never played based on prejudice alone while making ridiculous comparisons.

I don't think TLoU is anything close to the greatest games of all time (it's incredibly overrated and the developers are faggots), but it does a couple of things well that it deserves praise for (the crafting system, the combat that does a good job of feeling visceral which is in large part due to the excelent sound design). Unfortunately, you can't talk about any of that. All you get is either a strawman, "LOL MOVIEGAME SJW TRASH TRANNY 100GENDERS PROPAGANDA", or "x did it better, therefore y is shit", when x has nothing to do with y. It's this weird situation where both sides of the fence escalate insults ad absurdum until none of it has anything to do with videogames but with caricatures of the opposition that don't even represent reality anymore.

If Infinitron bothered to actually do moderation instead of shilling for Obsidian half this thread would've been split already like he did for PoE discussion constantly.

Besides, what am I to do? No games are out. I've been playing old shit for the past month on emulators. Elden Ring will probably be generic souls trash. Single player tactical squad based games are dead. SRPGs are dead. jRPGs are dead. Larian got BG3. ToEE will never get a remaster with additional content. Dragon's Dogma 2 is at least 3-4 years away. Sakaguchi will never make another FF. Avellone will never be in charge of another game. DQXII will probably be the last game in the franchise where all 3 creators collaborate, because sugiyama is close to death. What the fuck is the point anymore?

Pretty telling. Disgusting, sad SJW fucks.

LoL who the fuck would care about killing pixel dogs?!

 

[Hamster]

Yeah, I knew someone would bring that up, but that is not part of the main canon from what I understand?

Listen bro when I was 12 my introduction to Warhammer was this:

So from what I read: Joel killed a bunch of doctors who wanted to perform deadly experiments on his protege, without her consent.

Also, these doctors had a history of failure, performing the same deadly experiments on more than a dozen victims, without coming up with a cure.

They are seriously pushing the „Jeol is the real bad guy“ based on this?

Well he did agree to bring her to them, then changed his mind and started blastin'. From the other characters' point of view he's at least a backstabbing mercenary. Yeah, there's a high chance of death of the subject during the procedure, but...zombie plague.

IIRC Joel wasn't aware they were going to kill her. He only decided to "betray them" (they were lying to him so it wasn't exactly betrayal) after Marlene told him Ellie wasn't going to survive the surgery. Ellie didn't know she needed to die either.

It was the first time the doctors had access to an immune specimen. The effectiveness of the surgery was never put in doubt in the game iirc, as they knew what needed to be done, they just didn't have anyone to extract the cure from.

TLOU2 wants to teach you about the cycle of violence.

TLOU2 actually teaches you if you kill someone, kill their entire family as well.

That is my take on life. If you fuck someone over,make sure that there won't be anyone left to try and fuck you over!

Truly Nordic thinking.

When i was a kid my father once told me that if i ever put someone's eye out in a fight i might as well just kill them right there and then because they'll most likely come back to kill you down the lines. I have no idea why he would tell a 12 year old that, guess gotta impart those important life lessons.

It's because he knew, somewhere out there, a pirate was coming for him.

Fantadomat's lore runs deeper than previously thought.

Life in an imaginary ghetto is hard. Mad respect :D

I just don't like hypocrites. You can't praise PS:T as the second coming of christ and then turn around and shit on TLoU because it's a movie game when it has more gameplay than PS:T. It's okay to dislike the game on other basis, just don't be a hypocrite and actually use your brains to justify your hatred of it.
It's really annoying how so much of the codex pretends to be monocled gentlemen who take gameplay over anything else but then you look at the top 10 lists and it's filled to the brim with games with absolute fucking garbage gameplay.

Don't do this, Sentinel. This isn't worth it. Is this what you want to be? Grouped with Sully and JDR13?

Hey man, don't leave out J_C like that.

wait wait wait hold on you dummies

How about we focus on the Zombie thingy itself, it's not hard to write a decent piece around exploring nature of this fungus infection?

They wanted to make a vaccine?
