i want to be excited for this but just can't do it. it's gonna turn out to be a total SJW/Era-wanking wokefest.

if i play it then i'll pick it up dirt cheap second hand. refuse to support Naughty Dog and their behaviour.

People who constantly whine about the SJW boogeyman are just as annoying as the actual SJWs.

I say this as an avid Trump supporter. I can’t take two steps without someone screeching about how X thing was made by either an alt right bigot or the woke SJW thought police. Shut the fuck up already.
 
Bruh...perhaps do some research on the director of Last of us 2. He makes Anita cunteesian look like a full blown trump supporter.
However, they are going in the direction they decided to. Agree or not, they master their art like no one, at least for The last of us it works, but what they did to Uncharted 4 and the add-on DLC was horrible and it doesn't fit the game at all.

Did The Road have a sequel?

most interesting thing about tlou2 for me is their multiplayer strategy. Multi is a giant hole in Sony first party, a free to play tlou2 multi on ps4/5 and pc could be a great money spinner.

Yet you're parading around Cyberpunk 2077 the game that seems have more of this SJW/Era-wanking that you hate so much? This is why everyone laughs at "gamers," LOL.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
What's with the "SONY" all the time? Even they don't do it on their website https://www.sony.net/
It's SONY like on the consoles and also

I talk about this before but same way developers should be free to have sexy design in their games, they also should be free make story like Last of Us with gay characters and you are more than free not to like it.

I no longer know or care whats "woke/SJW" and whats not and getting really, really sick of hearing about it at this point, all I care about is I enjoyed pervious game and looking forward this one as well.

Calling it now. Ellies girlfriend gets kidnapped. Ellie goes to find her and walks in on her being raped by white men. Ellie kills all White men and gf dies. Ellie goes on a kill white man rampage.

I think it's obvious that chick is the reason she goes on this vendetta from the original trailer up until now.

Honestly this. Let developers do whatever they want as long as the games they develop are fun.

It's crazy to see conspiracy and attempts to destroy straight white males just because games are now becoming more and more inclusives and trying to bring different points of view.

From what I‘ve seen from the trailers and footage so far, it looks like Joel is gonna die pretty early in the game, with Ellie‘s girlfriend likely being responsible in one way or the other, which prompts Ellie to go full revenge mode against her.

The trailers kind of made it seem as if Ellie‘s girlfriend gets killed, and she (together with Joel) then go to find the killers. But I think that‘s a misdirection (a pretty obvious one), and it‘s Ellie herself who will kill her for her betrayal (which seems to be hinted at when Ellie’s girlfriend jokingly says „let me guess, you‘re gonna kill me“ to Ellie in the gameplay footage where the two of them are riding through that snowy landscape.


Regarding the whole ‚woke‘ thing, people should be glad that a lesbian protagonist is all they‘ll have to put up with so far. My main gripe with ND‘s recent titles are their hyper-masculine female characters. Nadine in U4 was especially ridiculous in this regard; that women fought like a terminator, lol. Then there‘s that women from one of the earlier TLoU2 trailers (the one where she almost gets disemboweled); she looks to be another of these she-men: angry face, ‚badass‘ demeanor, bulging muscles. At least Ellie and her girlfriend look like normal young women.

All I care about/ask for is that naughty dog improve the AI. Man was the AI stupid in the first game. Ellie got me caught way too many times, and enemies were just as stupid even without her tipping them off.

This better not get delayed again. Otherwise I'll just wait on the enhanced Ps5 version.

Although, come to think about it. Idk if I'll be able to get into it. Im looking forward to it but I absolutely couldn't get into to dlc for tlou playing as Ellie.

This post should be posted as first response in every The Last of Us 2 thread, im so sick of the shallow talk about whatever Druckmann decides to do with HIS fucking game.

Anyway, cant wait for the GOAT to arrive, so hyped for this and Cyberpunk.

I'm glad I'm not sensitive to those things whatever they are. Uncharted 4 is one of the best games in history

Women can develop muscles ya know lol fighting to survive against clickers, runners and stalkers in an post apocalyptic world would make them stronger or at least become motivation to get stronger :)

TLOU 2 and Cyberpunk in the same year *whew*
 
The sad thing is naughty actually believes this. they are so upset they are gonna get rid of drake for his daughter.
While I care about the side effects of this ideology, I don't want to fall into the trap of just picking up games that are made by people I agree with on every single issue.

I get the impression a lot of people are passing up on games/movies because they are either too woke (some really are) or too whatever "not woke" is.

Side effects are clear, no more white male protagonists in big sony games, except for maybe GOW. I really don't care about drake much but joel was awesome.

This is just one example of why your argument is so bad.



Note that I think all sports that have a men category should open that category to whoever can join in and play at the same level as other pro-athletes... Female sports should remain female born only, otherwise you just erase actual women in pro sports - in most situations the top women athlete could at best rank at University or high school level if they played with men (I do not mean this in a demeaning way, this is just what it is).

We had Days Gone just last year, maybe some other that I don't know... isn't spiderman white anyway? Apparently the black one is good anyways, so this is a transition that apparently worked in the comics at least.

Drake is very much a "normal" guy going on some adventures, Sully is the real star of the show conversation wise. I would not care that much (if it doesn't matter one way it should not matter the other way)... but what really irks me is the whole "revenge" portion, they sound more like a bunch of angry / jealous people more than people who want to do good, or tell better stories.

If it was just video games or movies it would not be so bad, but if you look for a job posting for pretty much any company that has HR they will have some diversity clause that basically stipulate that if you are from a minority group and you apply they will hire you, they may bypass white applicants, who may or may not be more qualified (I red somewhere that MS even gives bonuses to managers who diversify their team!). They often even have a diversity and inclusion portion on their site to show their credentials.

The funny thing is, when I go to work I tend to hang out with the "ethnics" (their word) and I love them, but sometimes I wonder if some of them are there just to fill in some diversity quota, I used to think that this could not happen, but this is really how Hiring works these days.

All of this is wrong.

At leat read the previews
Nothing happens to dina.

Some of you are just fucking annoying
Imagine be that insucure about woman with muscle.
My instagram is full of ripped woman doing cross fit
There is 1000 of games with men with ridiculous proportions no one byte the eye.
I hate woke shit but some of you are just as annoying.

Go watch the ezza preview. Before spouting nonsense

I can see this game coming out to mixed reviews. Dated gameplay and an overeliance on violence is going to catch up to ND eventually. Gay Ellie may not be enough to carry this torch.

I'm not one of those SJW people y'all talk about but this doesn't prove my argument wrong

How is the gameplay dated??

If anything, the gameplay might feel fresher than most games because of the movements possible with the new animation system called motion-matching

There's also prone stealth now too and it probably has the most advanced melee combat in its genre

Well I can't speak to TLOU2, but ND games have all been mediocre on rails third person shooters. Sure the presentation is industry leading, and the storytelling is better than most games, but the gameplay? Nope, it's just not very good.

TLOU was just repeatative small sections of alternating stealth and gunplay that wore on me quickly. The clicker sections were the worst and played out the same every time. Then they threw in those awful raft puzzles. Who thought those were fun?

I would agree on the so called "puzzles" (I would barely call them puzzles) but the actual gameplay especially on survival/Grounded difficulty really fun for me. But you say it gonna get "mix reviews" based on what exactly? Like or not lot people enjoy the original game and it got good reviews, so what exactly makes you think 2nd game might get "mix reviews" ?

Imagine calling arguably the best studio in gaming mediocre

TLOU has some of the best gameplay out there

I just feel that torture and gun porn isn't going to be universally lauded this this time around. And if the gameplay hasn't evolved much, I could see that putting off some people. I mean, it will score well, probably no lower than 85 overall, but I don't see it scoring near the first.

I saw a site mentioning a LOU2 has a demo coming? Is this confirmed?

I think if it were confirmed, more than 1 site would talk about it

Plus, when’s the last time Naughty Dog did put out a demo? I honestly can’t recall ever seeing one all PS4 gen, and I don’t recall any for PS3 either, but I don’t go out of my way to get demos anyway
