Man, the sheeple that are going to Day 1 this after the leaks or take those scores seriously, Sony prohibited reviews of talking about basically half the game, that is all you need to know. Man, the sheeple are crazy on social media, people never learn. Hype is like "That wasn't true communism", it is a culture of stupidity where the idiots never learn. It is confirmed, Maam killed the previous characters, but they are just a bunch of stupid depressed grim dark losers like Luke on Last Jedi that they wont be missed anyway.

TL;DR; even us paid shills have to admit that the game is shit, but we still want to write a lot of clickbait articles about it

Resetera is very Angry with cuckman and ND for a gameplay bit where the Ellie and her love interest are called "dykes"...

yea i've been trying very hard to not say anything about how i feel about this on here as i've already let my frustration on it out off era with fellow lesbians & wlw, but it genuinely breaks my fucking heart. i've been avoiding the review thread because i'm legit terrified of ppl bringing up the lesbophobic scene & others dismissing their concern. i've talked abt genuinely looking forward to the game especially due to wanting to see ellie & dina be happy & sweet together (during the game. i would be ok if the game ends with them apart even if it hurts as long as they aren't dead) before so i hope i at least won't get pushback from cishets here, but having a guy call them dykes & spit on them is genuinely fucking useless and does nothing. the only thing it's there for is to to establish "hey there's still violent lesbophobia in our universe! :)" and it fucking hurts so, so much. i don't need lesbophobia in fictional worlds just so cishetties can feel for people like me, because the only thing it does is quite frankly make me suicidal & just in general feel like shit, because i can't even escape daily lesbophobia in video games.

sorry if this sounds like mindless rambling (it kinda is), but i'm incredibly heartbroken. we got the kiss during pride month & everyone congratulated nd & they themselves were proud of having a lesbian & bi girl kiss on the big e3 screen. now it's pride month again and what do we get? violent lesbophobia after that beautiful scene. it hurts so, so much, because otherwise i'm still so excited for the game & i feel awful about it. i adore ellie & was hoping that we'd finally get our great lesbian rep in AAA games. i'm hopeful that this is the only instance and that otherwise we'll get beautiful scenes between them without lesbophobic shit thrown in, but i'm still disappointed. i'm okay with lesbian (& lgbt in general) rep in miserable & violent settings as long as we don't get killed off or are only there for torture porn. i thought we'd get that in tlou2, but a bunch of cishet people thinking including violent lesbophobia to get some reactions out of people is the opposite of that. we don't need to know that people hate us & want us dead even in fictional worlds, when we already have to put up with that in our daily lives.

again, sorry y'all, but this is incredibly important to me as a lesbian who both adores ellie & tlou, but is also sick of hurtful rep. you can write lesbians/wlw without having some men call us dykes and spit on us, it's incredibly easy even. would love to know what went through the mind of a bunch of cishet people when they thought "yea lets add a lesbophobic slur to our game that'll make gamers feels things haha :)"

Between gaming sites who have decided it would be great because it has a trans character, and gaming forums who have decided the game would be terrible because it featured a trans character, it is hard to decide !

This game is really deep folks, I just watched the 1st hour of that ~3hrs leak and I'm already wondering - "what am I doing with my life?" :D

Really, I could have watched an episode of some good series for this amount of time. I can't believe what an oily turd Druckman is about to release unto the world with this thing. Literally nothing happens for the first hour of "gameplay".

The worst part is - the writing is horrible. It's Westworld 3 level of shit. The player is forced to watch peope with their backs toward him who are having meaningless everyday conversations for the good part of a whole hour. Even this could have been interesting if the characters themselves were interesting, but we all know they never had a chance to be. They have been written by boring and bored middle aged SJWs desperately scratching the insides of their brains to sound witty and interesting. But all they manage to do is to make all characters sound like and talk with the writer's voice.

If this was a movie, not a game, I guarantee you no sane person would give it more than 15 minutes of his time, and no cinema would have shown it. The experience hangs on how good the script is and the script is an abortion.

Man, you really dont know the memes, the Maam isnt even a tranny, we are making fun of the game after the leaks because the story of this game is so absurd that, at this point, there is nothing to comment but to make fun of it, there are people comparing it to Game of Thrones season 8 and Last Jedi levels of bad. Only the known game media shills, SJWs and honeymoon hype influenced idiots trying to justify their preorders are loving this thing, take a look on IGN Japan review or SkillUp's one, Sony prohibited reviewers with review copies of talking about basically half the game, that is the level of confidence they have. Wait three months, for the honeymoon to pass, and you will see the "Well, I think that Last of Us 2 was actually overhyped shiet." articles to pop up.

Different kind of bad. GoT 8 is just ordinary incompetence.

Stuff like Last Jedi, ST: Picard or TLoU2 are very different. As SkillUp said in his review - the central theme here is deconstruction.

People either already understand or they will understand sooner or later.

And the problem of Picard and Last Jedi isnt deconstruction but ordinary incompetence at trying deconstruction and from SkillUp's review and the leaks, that seems the case here. If you try to "deconstruct" characters and dont know what the fuck you are doing, you will end up with a mess worse than it was if you just made a by the numbers story. What I question isnt that the characters are a bunch of depressed grim dark bums but the whys and hows of the story and, sorry, Cuckman obsession with politics dont make me confident he and his team can write any shit.

I've just seen new leaks.

The start character is Abby therefore Joel is not a playable character at all because he is killed in the first part of the game.

It looks like there is an entire organization dedicated to killing Joel and which is lead by Abby. Tommy and Joel save Abby from some shit and then Abby kills them once they reach safety.

Her revenge motivation is a big and dumb joke: Who cares about revenge in post-apocalyptic times? Awful writing.

Edit: This is basically an ANTIFA-power-trip game.

Edit2. Dina is Jewish lesbian bigot. The game checks all the progressive talk points. Literally all.

Anti-Christian. Anti-white-males. Anti-patriarchy. Pro-Jewish. Strong independent women. Diversity is Strength. Blablabla.
