I know, which makes it all the more hilarious.

If Druckmann honestly believes this is helping a progressive message, I mean.....I don’t even know what to say. It’s a fucking mockery. At this point, I’m half-inclined to believe he’s a closeted bigoted trying to sabotage what he proclaims to want to further.
And that's a good thing if it blews up in his face

In modern western gaming you just can't say a bad word about any LGBT agenda. You simply can't be honest about LGBT, Police, abortions, any conservative values period. Not like I care though. What I care is that we are in the era of fugly game characters and cliche 1 dimensional Mary Sue strong and independent women. Also, I just recently saw something Naughty Dog calls heterosexual sex act. Man. That's a straight nightmare fuel. I became a little gay after seeing THAT things doing their THING. Despicable.
 
Based on the scenes I've seen (which I admit may have been cherry picked) it seems like Joel is always treated like trash by everyone especially by Ellie . There's no payoff for this, no conclusion to be drawn. It just seems like Neil had a huge hateboner for Joel and the people that liked him.
Joel was a straight white man and a father figure. He had to be destroyed.

I think his delusions have gotten the better of him. He's lost control.
 
These are incredible.

The amount of edits and shitposting coming from this is insane. I think there's a mega dump with at least half a GB worth of edits.

It's a pity that outside the generic gameplay and some of the worst writing ever done for a AAA game, TLOU2 is indeed gorgeous. The art direction, environmental design, soundtrack and the monster models deserve to be used for another, better game.

We can't blame the ship crew for the madness of their captain. Artists and tech guys did their jobs and have families to feed and depts to pay. Again, in modern SJW climate you either stfu or lose your job/position.

.....and his bludgeoned corpse spit upon. Wouldn’t surprise me if ol’ Neil wore the mo-cap suit to relish the moment.

Dude’s off his fucking rocker. I’ve seen some games before that lean to certain ideological predilections, but nothing like this.

“Dr. Uckman? Bigot Sandwhiches”? What mine as well be a trans sex scene? 😂

I’m curious how much of this shit will be in the game. Sad too, as TLoU had progressive elements that weren’t so laughably overt, and people welcomed it with open arms. Don’t know why they couldn’t do the same here.

On a scale of ONE to NO-MANS-SKY-LAUNCH, how bad will the reactions tomorrow be?
Shit will be praised to the High Heavens. Any voice of opposition will be labeled racist, bigot or something like that. It will never we about actual game. It will be either you are with the progress or against it. Choose wisely, or you are risking to stuck on the wrong side of the History lol

This. No matter how bad it is, some'll still try to defend it to death, especially with that high meta score.
People still don't realize professional journos along with some AAA devs are just one big influential niche. Asking their opinion on a game is the same of asking an anarchocapitalist group on facebook about government management.

I don't know what pisses me off more, the fact that you play as Abby, or the fact that she exists at all. Was the point trying to get people to empathize with them, because that shit is never going to work at all, especially with that introduction. Just fucking murder Joel, and talking about how she's going to make it last...oh because Joel didn't let her father kill Ellie...fuck off.

Joel's actions might have been wrong to some degree, but they were also relatable. He killed a bunch of people, but he did it out of love and trying to protect someone. This Abby bitch kills Joel out of hatred and anger, and does it with sadistic intent. Joel had no other choice if he wanted to protect Ellie.

I just hate this story so god damn much. Might have been better if Abby was purely a villain, but then you don't make people play half the game as them.

Actually from what I've seen there are a good amount of people on Era who are liking the game so far. I'm not defending the game, I think it's garbage, but I don't think the narrative on here should be "Even ResetEra hates it" because that's not true. It's split over there.

When even Resetera is not liking it then you know you fucked it all up lol.

I guess no matter the place, some people have brain or just aren't corporation defender after all. I remember reading reddit, resetera and neogaf about Pokemon Sword and Shield and all those place people complain about many flaws.

Money still money.

Yeah, but there being people that don't like it is already a special thing lol. I thought they all would swallow that shit up.

I'm sure I'm going to love this game, but that's not going to stop me from laughing my ass off at what a hack Druckmann is and some of the writing that's been shown. Call shit out for what it is.

Another thing. Based on the conversation of Joel with Tommy in the beginning, it seems the intention of the first game's ending really was to vilify Joel's action.
The fireflies logic was "We have a rare speciment that might produce a cure, so we're gonna immediatly kill it in a procedure that could very well go completely wrong". Its something only some crazy group would do, which is why i fully agreed with what Joel did.
But it seems they really wanted to go with the "He doomed to world to save a girl", which feels really dumb within the context.

I feel like they are trying to retcon the ending more than anything by changing it meaning.

That is really dumb, and sounds like a retcon. The impression I always got from the first game was that they didn't even know that any kind of cure could be produced by ripping her brain out, only that they figured they might as well try. There were no guarantees with what they were going to do. What a crock of shit.

Yeah I mean I get it. I'm suspecting the game is going to be very split everywhere, I don't buy that it's going to be overwhelming negative. Though it's definitely gonna get review bombed, in which I'm sure Sony will pressure MC to do something about that. Also the game is going to get meme'd to hell and back (it already kinda is), and will probably be looked at as a joke for years to come.

One thing is definitely certain. Years from now when TLoU Part 3 is announced, it's not going to have the same level of hype as Part 2 had. We'll be looking at another Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker situation.
