He is talking about this article:

The Last Of Us Part II was always going to be divisive. It was written to evoke anger and frustration and upset and debate. In a recent interview with the game’s director, Neil Druckmann, he told us so that he wanted to “dismantle” a game that so many gamers in the world hold “sacred”.
Why someone should ever try to dismantle his own successful game? Wtf!? It simply doesn't compute.

Unless ... Neil Druckmann hates The Last of Us because it was successful, it wasn't his creation* and there was no way for him to create something similar.

*Bruce Straley and probably other people are the reasons why the first game was so good. This doesn't stop Cuckmann to take credit in every interview.

This is insane and revolting. I don't remember anything like this happening before ...

From what I seem there's no 'dismantling', the game just is following the events of the previous installment that ended with Joel murdering innocents and dooming humanity to continue living in a zombie apocalypse because he chose a single person over millions. Druckman probably is pulling an Alan Moore and criticizing people who misinterpreted the first game.

the entire thing is fake: somebody pointed out that the hate threats are coming from accounts which liked the game

lol dude shouldn’t be surprised. How can you write something that’s meant to evoke hate and then be butthurt when that’s the exact response people have over your game?

When Joel wakes up, he finds Marlene and what remains of the Boston Fireflies at the hospital. Ellie was successfully revived but was immediately taken for research on Marlene's order, which will possibly create a vaccine for the infection, as Joel finds out at Marlene's disclosure. Marlene also tells Joel that in order to fully reverse engineer the fungus for a vaccine, the doctors must remove the fungus from Ellie's brain, which will result in certain death. Upon hearing this, Joel begins to protest for her. Marlene disregards him, however, saying that he is not in a position to make decisions and that her decision to sacrifice Ellie will save millions.

She spares Joel's life, but Joel, determined not to lose his new "daughter" like he lost Sarah, escapes and tortures his Firefly guard Ethan to find out the location of the operating room.[42] He battles his way through the facility and brings Ellie out.

At the hospital parking garage, Marlene corners Joel, who threatens him with a pistol. She tries to persuade him that it's pointless to run; Ellie will die anyway as he can't protect her. She lets her guard down as Joel considers this, willingly letting him decide Ellie's fate. She moves closer to him and reaches for Ellie. Despite this offer, Joel shoots Marlene in the abdomen, leaving her on the floor grievously wounded, firmly deciding he'd rather save Ellie than save humanity. Before killing Marlene, Joel secures Ellie in a car. Marlene begs for her life, but Joel coldly refuses, fearing that she will only pursue them if she survives. He shoots her point-blank in the head, leaving her behind as he flees with Ellie.[43]

Joel delivers Ellie out of the city, heading for "home" at Tommy's. To spare her from feeling survivor's guilt he lies to her by telling her immunity meant nothing. Ellie is greatly dismayed when she hears this. The two finally reach Tommy's Dam, where Joel remarks that they can return to their normal life. Unable to cross through the main road due to the truck breaking down, they detour into the woods. Walking through the woods, he tells her that he used to hike with Sarah, believing the pair would have "been good friends". Eventually, Ellie confronts Joel and questions him whether what he tells her is true. Joel replies, "I swear", leaving a doubting Ellie to her own belief.[44]

Joel the hero, I still can't believe Cuckmamn dismantled this beautiful role model and made a fanfiction based on... the events of the first game.

Havent played either game so what ive gleaned of the story is from this thread and the luls contained.

How does a group that can be defeated by one man hope to be able to 1. mass produce a synthesised vaccine/cure and 2. deploy said mass produced vaccine/cure to millions? What manpower do they have at their disposal? If its enough to go out and deploy the vaccine/cure how did one man managed to hardfuck their research station? What logistics would they be able to call upon to accomplish this and why wasnt it employed in hunting down Ellie to make a cure in the intervening years? What magical asspull videogame logic turns this seemingly weak and enfeebled team of scientists into some great big conglomeration of saviours outside of cloning or robotics? I know, game logic so who really cares, magic shit and plot armor but seriously, how?

It seems like, probably because of the necessity of having a win state, in most post-apoc games there is a global or widespread cure/solution to the problem, whether it's finding a cure for a virus or supplying water to everyone. It's this genre's equivalent of saving the land or world from the evil empire in fantasy games, in terms of scope. But in the movies I can recall, if there is any solution at all, it's local, like a small group of survivors going getting away from one place to a much safer place. That includes Romero's Dead trilogy, The Road Warrior, Thunderdome, the 28 ____ Later series, Snowpiercer, The Road, Children of Men (there is a suggestion of a possible solution, but it's vague, left up in the air). As always, I'm sure there are exceptions; I've never seen Waterworld or The Postman. On the game side you have Cataclsym DDA, in which there is no indication things can be mended, you just survive until you don't.

I dunno, just something I thought of.

It's a small group and there would be no possibility they would be mass-producing millions of doses and rescuing all remaining civilization.

Realistically it just benefits members of their own faction, which at most is a few hundred people. Immunity isn't some magic fix either, it doesn't mean somebody can't be killed by infected, it just means they cannot become infected if exposed.

So, I've read the plot of the game, and saw the main scenes in the game on Youtube. I admit I liked the first game very much, and think that Joel was a great characer.

After all the shit that is happening in the second part, there is one thing that breakes the game for me and it makes me not want to play it. That in the end Elli just thinks that after all the mass murdering, she wants to stop the violance and spares Abby. Fuck. You. I don't care what the game wants me to do. After seeing how brutally Joel was murdered, I just want one thing in the end. To get revenge on her. And the game even misses this one point. You can't expect me to suddenly think that the violance in the game is bad, when all through the game we are murdering people without any remorse. If you want me to believe this, then make non-violent options available in the game.

I wonder how many people would have willingly chosen that option if the players were actually given a choice

Sure, but at least there would be an option and you can choose. And I think seeing how people flipped out about this, I think many of them would have just murdered the bitch.

Look at this dumb fucking pseudo-intellectual thinking that just because the "game" is subverting expectations for the sake of subversion and leading a LINEAR story only to fizzle out at the end makes it somehow a thing for "grown-ups". There's nothing "mature" about this, just because something makes you feel sad doesn't mean it's mature.
Compare it to PS:T where at the end TNO dies and goes to hell (tee-hee, spoilers, but an ending way more depressing than tlou 2's flaccid dick). The difference being the game clearly lead up to that point and the player (provided he has an IQ above amoeba's level) starts to piece together that the ending won't be flowers and sunshine really early.
What cuckmannnnn did was make a murder gore porn for himself and his fellow degenerates with an unsatisfying ending and tardos think that's somehow very mature and oh how video games should take note. "Revenge bad" badly played out on the bodies of hundreds on nobodies.

Can you fucking imagine the end of Max Payne, Max walking over to the big bad bitch, hugging her tightly and softly whispering "I forgive you"?

Anyway even if the game was supposed for the +28 game audience (dumb move anyway) It was delivered by someone that burnt his own brain cells in drug parties with Anita.

Also keep in mind that Neil will club you to death if you save him, spit on your corpse and wants to be buttfucked by Owen because the whole Abby group Is Neil himself, he would have voiced all lines if his health was fine. You need brain cells to separate yourself from your characters.
