Is that what this is though. Judging from the leaked material the story sets the muscle girl up as being justified in her actions, from her perspective, because Joel killed her dad and destabilized her entire life. And the story seems to be very explicitly another "don't let revenge become an obsession and blind you to everything else blahblah."
Almost certainly no. Even if they somehow pull up from this shitfest, it will have some grand "life changing experience" narrative nailed to it.
I get what you mean, but Antagonist is the character that opposes Protagonist. If you play as a villain- he is a Protagonist and goody-two-shoes paladin opposing him will be an Antagonist.
You kinda prove my point about your retardedness. Planescape, as I said, is a simple story, but your limited brain views it as something pretentious, beyond it's comprehension. You can't even read my fucking post before commenting, anything story-driven that doesn't have voice acting and cutscenes is probably beyond your mental capabilities.
I thought fucking up Joel with a golf bat kind of qualified as such, being TLOU protagonist and all. But, yes, you are technically right.
Most RPGs handle "evil" very poorly, I know, I played most of them as such. Usually it''s either XP vs. money (BG, IWD), or "justforlulz" (VTMB, DeusEx). Overlord is a great game, but that's comedy evil, like Igthorn. I mean something more IRL, where evil doesn't really have any immediate gains or consequences and is more of an selfish egoism.
In original God Of War, Kratos is one hell of an evil bastard, but it does preach about him being wrong in the end.
Oh wait, Lisa:The Painful fits this quite well. Main hero is a selfish drug-addicated scumbag and you can roll with it or try to play him as less of a douchebag (which makes game infinitely harder).
yea but it makes for a shit story
Have you played Alpha Protocol?
That's a statistical inevitability since every game tries to have good gameplay, but not every game gives the same amount of care to the writing.
???
That is necessarily a power fantasy of its own, though, the one where you get to go mad with power. Because it doesn't work to go mad without power, that's just boring, no one listens to you.
The funniest thing about this whole controversy is anyone pretending that the first game was any good or not equally full of political messages and virtue signaling. A sequel being worse does not make the previous installment good.The young girl, Ellie or whatever her name is, is she killed too?
EDIT: here is the plot, for others late to the party
So... Joel probably indirectly made her into transgender and now he/she wants revenge? What a twist!
It was funny when everyone was shitposting 10 pages ago, but now not so much. Especially when users would rather just go with the misinformation and ignore the clarifications that came afterwards..
