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.

You made a good point. The user score will be mix bag and will probably affect the Part 3 if have one.

LOL. The ending I can understand, but the violence? LoU2 has been a truck load of violence and snuff kills in previews, and the first game wasn't any better.

The violence is nothing but "hey, we live in the cold cruel world where you have to kill to surive so deal with it" excuse card. Funny thing is that no other death equals to the death of Joel.

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 theres more: it seems they have knowledge of all the death experiments. Abby father said that, thanks to Ellie, all the killing in their hands will be justified. Also, he didn't answer Marlene what would he do if it was his daughter. Abby even listen to that part lol

The fireflies has in their hands as much deaths as Joel, but somehow Joel is the one the game wants to paint as the ultimate evil, while not even Ellie want to go through the end of vengeance even though she has a lot of killing in her hands.

For a moment I OK with that
golf scene
.

But, if you watched the video
now we have a high definition video. IMO the golf part is easy. What get me was the cold blood shotgun fire on Joel leg. Dude, the game showed his flesh
and the fight
bewteen Ellie and Mel, she stab in the neck a pregnant woman
.

There are so many parts, I guess everyone will get his one less favorite. Even the Jessie death is fast and so boring.

I missed the pregnant knifing. Which video? But no worries if you don't have a link.

Back in an hour anyway. Going to hit a store for groceries as it's always dead time after dinner.

How come?
The first is one of my favorites ever, and unless they fuck up the gameplay severely (videos don’t seem to indicate this), I’m going to enjoy it. I suspect from the spoilers I’m going to be in stitches from the writing, but I’ll enjoy playing and exploring its world nonetheless.

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.
We’ll see how it plays out, but I really hope the game doesn’t take a position on the ending of the first. They shouldn’t touch its ambiguity.
 
The Twitch stream of this game...man, it kind of looks like shit. Textures are very low-rez and environments are not that impressive.

The writing in this game is so terrible.

I've said this so many times and I'll say it again. Identity politics are not interesting.
No offence to trans or gay people, but no one gives a shit about who/why/what you identify as, or who/what you like to fuck.
It is NOT interesting. It does NOT make good story telling.
This is especially the case when it is forcibly inserted into an already existing IP that has NOTHING to do with it, because it's clearly and obviously trying to drive through a message that no cares about.

This game is a perfect example. Try to sit through this video if you can. It's about the trans kid and his trans story. It's so FUCKING BORING and uninteresting.

It is hilarious how poorly written it is too. Just incredible that this game was allowed to be released. What was Sony thinking.

And thats not even getting into how that vaccine wouldn't sunddely rebuild the fabric of society that has been destroyed for 20 years. Best case scenario it would be used by them as a means of power.

I've read some tweets of a few LATAM journos saying that the game has the best story and narrative, I've seen the leaks and I don't think they even have played the game

lol, that was horrible. I've started watching a walkthrough on youtube and i could tell from the beginning the story was dumb. But dear god, i didn't expect it to reach such levels of bullshittery.
What can i say, pretty much the kind of plot i'd expect from some privileged rich guy living in a first world country who regardless still waves victimhood status on social media. I hate judging it like this but damn some people make it hard not to.

Last of Us 3 is probably dead on arrival I can see the Last of Us turning into an Abby story.

Has it been established if Abby is MTF, FTM or neither?
Who knows. Looks like male pecs with big aerolas. If abby was mtf then xir would have natural hormone cone tits or fake tits. If xhe was ftm then wouldnt have any tits at all because they cut them off. Looks like a woman that overdosed on roids or something. Or fat guy tits. So they can watch death videos at ND but can't look at some women naked to see what tits actually look like? I've never seen tits like that in my life. Even small tits don't look like that.

Cool. Thank you Neil for inserting transgender identity politics in your zombie apocalypse game. That's what the first Last of Us game was missing.

Enjoy your game having almost none of the same impact on the industry and gamers the way the TLoU did, without Hailey Gross's writing carrying your sanctimonious ass. Enjoy having your game being an afterthought when Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 come out, and people finish those games without feeling sick or miserable. Enjoy TLoU Part 3 not having nearly the same waves of hype as TLoU Part 2 did. Thank you for adding to the collection of things that have been ruined by shitty, pompous, self obsessed writers these past few years. There's a nice spot for the TLoU next to the likes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Mass Effect, and Game of Thrones. Because we can't have anything nice anymore.

Using the phone. Maybe you can find here, someone posted already. Just to give you context,
Ellie point the gun for the two remaining Abby friends, Mel said she will give to her anyway because she believe Abby could be dead, Ellie get angry because she is not yet giving the location on the map she have, the other guy try to disarm Ellie, Ellie get the upper hand and shoot him on the chest, Mel get upset and fight with a knife over Ellie, Ellie disarm her and knife her. Before the other guy die he say she is pregnant. Ellie check, get crazy and puke.

So, Ellie kill the woman, his child and his dad.
