This is kinda blowing up all over twitter with Neil haters coming out in full force retweeting the crap out of the Variety tweet showing Neil just standing there with no pictures being taken. Seems like no one had any clue who he was and decided to ignore him. lol





Absolutely brutal. I am getting second hand embarrassment from watching this. Lets hope he learns from this and goes back to directing games.

Game devs like Kojima and the likes who constantly beg for validation from the film industry will always be cringey to me. Stay on your own lane, videogame still is the lowest form of medium, the writing in most are still horrendous, just keep making entertaining games for people to play.

This is why I don't like him.

 

[LimanimaPT]

Who the fuck cares? Humanity is so .. sad?

 

[Silver Wattle]

He's just the latest hollywood simp video game director, the last of us is a mid series and the sales of the second one confirm that.

What mid games sell nearly 15M copies or more when all is said and done?

 

[DenchDeckard]

I think we should all change our avatar pictures to ones of Neil at the golden globes out of solidarity for our fellow brethren of games.

37* million, with only 2 games.

 

[Whitecrow]

4 games. Remaster and Part 1 exist and sell.

 

[Heisenberg007]

4 games. Remaster and Part 1 exist and sell.

Still 2 games though: TLOU P1 and TLOU P2. Not 4.

e.g., Death Stranding has a PS5 remaster; that is not Death Stranding 2.

 

[Moses85]

Why this brutal hate? Because he let Joel die in TLOU2?

I like him more than the attention-craving, self-absorbed, I am the God of video games thinking Hideo Kojima

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Why does OP refer to himself in third person?

Video games is no longer the biggest entertainment medium in the UK

For the first time in over ten years, video games is not the UK's biggest entertainment medium. ERA, which is the UK tr…

Facts

 

[Silver Wattle]

How much did the first one sell? if it's not mid, why has the second sold significantly less instead of growing the brand? because it's mid.

Killing Joel was certainly a punch in the face for fans......but in hindsight(I didn't know about trans stuff then what I know now)it was the promotion of trans teens that put me off him,given how many of the poor kids lives are being ruined right now by crazy trans zealot adults who should really know better,siding with those dangerous loons is a sure way to loose my support.Fuck this guy!

What direct sequel of a big game sold more than the first instalment? Wouldn't really make sense, especially with game sales declining in general and other factors coming into play. The only way something like that is more likely is if some relatively unknown game goes to a sub and then the sequel doesn't.

 

[FunkMiller]

Seems like a pretty huge difference to me.

“Waaaaa! I don’t like Neil Druckmann because he was nice to trans people!”

”Waaaaa! I don’t like Hogwarts Legacy because JK Rowling said things I don’t like about trans people!”

Exactly. The. Same.

Whining snowflake bigots who can’t stand it when something they don’t approve of is popular.

It isn't the same. Rowling thinks people with a penis are males, Druckmann doesn't. (Correction: he says he doesn't. In reality, he's a liar and is part of the gaslighting of society which is currently going on.)

So, someone having an opinion that you disagree with deserves to be trolled the way Druckmann is, yes?

Because I don’t fucking agree with what Druckmann thinks either, but I don’t feel the need to whine and complain about it endlessly, and try to minimise how massively successful The Last Of Us is.

That’s why it’s exactly the same as the Era screamers trying to minimise and boycott JK Rowling.

The mature thing is to disagree, accept, and move on with your fucking life… not spend hours on social media whining, and trying to convince everyone else
how dreadful those people are, and how awful the things they’ve made are.

It’s pathetic.

 

[onQ123]

Without this the outsiders would have never known who he was but now he will be recognized.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Joel was the least of the problems TLOU2 had. From gameplay and set piece point of view I find it superior to the first game. But narrative wise its way worse.

Cuckmann openly said Sarkeesian influenced his game design. Which I find extremely strange. Because he must be a smart person, with some expertise in gaming and its industry. He must know the amount of perfectly built males in games, the amount of games with strong women (like RE, Dino Crisis, Tomb Raider, Perfect Dark etc etc). The amount of games where you brutally kill men.

And then, he says Sarkeesian loves video games. While she flat out stated the opposite. This is everything you need to know. Why give such a person a platform, and why actually parrot her? This simp behavior is next level.

 

[DrFigs]

kind of pathetic to pick on someone like this tbh. the tweets themselves are silly. yeah for sure the reason people are making fun of him is because he "forced his employees to work overtime". yeah that tracks as something people actually care about.

Druckmann deserves it because he's getting a taste of his own medicine. Rowling doesn't because all she ever said that was supposedly 'controversial' was that people with penises aren't women.

Not to defend the insanity in this thread, but there are more than a few that qualify. Sales, like Metacritic scores, aren't objective measures of quality. And even if they were, the crackpots in this thread wouldn't listen to them anyway

 

[DanielG165]

Actually the flash allows you to control direction, quality, amount of light. In fact many photographers use a flash in the day to smooth out skin tones, bring light to the eyes, and smooth out shadows. This means a lot less Lightroom time.

Yup. Flash is used for many more things other than brightening up a darker/low light scene.

Could it be the first one has been out for 10 years and the second one for 4 ? Maybe? Just saying.

That's too much math for them.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

There is no flash in this video too. All these famous actors lost their fame??

Well, this thread is some batshit crazy shit. Next level stuff.

I didnt. Thread title was updated by mods after the thread backfire. Original title was 'Neil Druckmann gets a reality check at the Golden Globes'.

Wonder if they added dual sense support to feel the effect of the golf club.

 

[MiguelItUp]

You know, people don't need to like the guy, not everyone should be forced to. But the weird almost "dislike obsession" is pretty bizarre to me. I still don't understand wants so funny or amusing about the clip. He's doing the exact same thing that other goers did, and from what I can tell his clip looks no different than others of bigger celebrities that I've seen.

The first one kept selling throughout the PS4 era thanks to the remaster and bundles.

 

[nial]

People here condemn publishers for having unrealistic sales expectations for certain titles, but then consider that ONLY selling 15 million is representative of a 'mid' game.

 

[Danknugz]

Jesus, get over it, he created a story that has already won 8 Emmy's and potentially more.

People are obsessed with hating the dude its gross

i literally did not know who this dude was until today.

[SeriousCrayon]

its funny how many people shit all over him when he's accomplished more in his lifetime than probably 95 percent of the people on this planet. The man does what he absolutely loves for a living and people consume it. I guarantee if his next new IP is a 10 all these losers making negative comments will be sitting in mom and dads basement with dick in one hand rubbing one out to him..especially the haters for TLOU2..you know the folks still in the closet thinking if they're loud enough online no one will pick up on their insecurities and self loathing...

 

[ManaByte]

Tried to issue an apology post in this topic about the things I said about a certain game dev, because I was being a bit of a trolling douchenozzle and it got insta deleted by some trigger happy mod who saw the word "cuck" and decided to not read further to see the much important details. To the mod that lacked reading comprehension and deleted my post: Go fuck yourself.

 

[FunkMiller]

I didnt. Thread title was updated by mods after the thread backfire. Original title was 'Neil Druckmann gets a reality check at the Golden Globes'.

I say own it, dude.

The next time something crops up you disagree with, just march right on into the thread with THE SLIMYSNAKE IS NOT HAPPY.

 

[Business]

The way he awkwardly tries to strike a pose towards the end made me feel secondhand embarrassment.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Crazy, that since he became president of ND, only remasters and cancellations are coming out. I wonder why
