I guess we wouldn't have this shitstorm if we knew beforehand that Abby wasn't a tranny. I also thought she was black based on some image macros thrown around. Somehow the game didn't tick those diversity boxes.

White people kill all the diversity cast. Elly tortures and kills the proud African woman with a pipe. Tommy headshots the mexican. Abby headshots the Asian and tries to cut the head off the Jew. The only anomaly is Antifa gunning down the Asian sister of the tranny, oh and said tranny surviving being crucified by MAGA slavers

Finished it after two weeks of pure boredom and struggle.

Game goes all Return of the King on the endings, have no feels towards the last half. Endless pointless dribble.

So glad it's over, I won't touch the 3rd one unless it's light years ahead of this shit.

Get the popcorn, our favorite Mad Burrito finally pitches in:


Entertaining enough. Dude overacting a lot though but it goes well with his "from a simple player perspective" pitch.
People shouldn't harass actors.
If you're gonna sperg out at least direct it towards decision makers and IP holders, not someone just trying to get paid.
Yeah, it's so stupid. Like they actually mixing up fiction with reality.

Stop giving these bad faith pieces of shit cover. EVERYBODY with the audience size that they have gets those same trolls and 'threats' and edgelords. Enough with the disclaimers of 'well people shouldn't harass them'. It happens to EVERYBODY with any audience of any size on the internet.

They're trolls. They exist, EVERYBODY has them, they're not special, the universal response to them whining about the tiny fraction of trolls SHOULD be, "So block them and move on."

They are attempting to project the tiny minority of the internet on whatever community they're whining about. Stop giving them cover.

The important lesson to take from this is that social justice goons eventually break everything down (through post modernism, nihilism, and general de-constructive nature) into an inverted hierarchy based solely on mob rule and objectives obtained via violence and war. So much for the peace pipe smoking rainbow brigade. It's all fiction, and not even good fiction at that.

And speaking of fiction, old rule of thumb: if you can't make a good story using interesting characters, then you try and make a good story by killing off mediocre ones.

too late



the entire thing is fake: somebody pointed out that the hate threats are coming from accounts which liked the game

edit: if somebody should get hate threats then it should be Druckmann and not Laura Bailey

this astroturfing campaign was retarded from the get-go

BTW, The game's lowest price on Taiwanese second hand platform is now only 700NTD (About 23USD) and still dropping

He is talking about this article:

The Last Of Us Part II was always going to be divisive. It was written to evoke anger and frustration and upset and debate. In a recent interview with the game’s director, Neil Druckmann, he told us so that he wanted to “dismantle” a game that so many gamers in the world hold “sacred”.
Why someone should ever try to dismantle his own successful game? Wtf!? It simply doesn't compute.

Unless ... Neil Druckmann hates The Last of Us because it was successful, it wasn't his creation* and there was no way for him to create something similar.

*Bruce Straley and probably other people are the reasons why the first game was so good. This doesn't stop Cuckmann to take credit in every interview.

This is insane and revolting. I don't remember anything like this happening before ...

Druckmann just attacked people who sent threats to Abby's voice actress fans

lol dude shouldn’t be surprised. How can you write something that’s meant to evoke hate and then be butthurt when that’s the exact response people have over your game?

From what I seem there's no 'dismantling', the game just is following the events of the previous installment that ended with Joel murdering innocents and dooming humanity to continue living in a zombie apocalypse because he chose a single person over millions. Druckman probably is pulling an Alan Moore and criticizing people who misinterpreted the first game.

When Joel wakes up, he finds Marlene and what remains of the Boston Fireflies at the hospital. Ellie was successfully revived but was immediately taken for research on Marlene's order, which will possibly create a vaccine for the infection, as Joel finds out at Marlene's disclosure. Marlene also tells Joel that in order to fully reverse engineer the fungus for a vaccine, the doctors must remove the fungus from Ellie's brain, which will result in certain death. Upon hearing this, Joel begins to protest for her. Marlene disregards him, however, saying that he is not in a position to make decisions and that her decision to sacrifice Ellie will save millions.

She spares Joel's life, but Joel, determined not to lose his new "daughter" like he lost Sarah, escapes and tortures his Firefly guard Ethan to find out the location of the operating room.[42] He battles his way through the facility and brings Ellie out.

At the hospital parking garage, Marlene corners Joel, who threatens him with a pistol. She tries to persuade him that it's pointless to run; Ellie will die anyway as he can't protect her. She lets her guard down as Joel considers this, willingly letting him decide Ellie's fate. She moves closer to him and reaches for Ellie. Despite this offer, Joel shoots Marlene in the abdomen, leaving her on the floor grievously wounded, firmly deciding he'd rather save Ellie than save humanity. Before killing Marlene, Joel secures Ellie in a car. Marlene begs for her life, but Joel coldly refuses, fearing that she will only pursue them if she survives. He shoots her point-blank in the head, leaving her behind as he flees with Ellie.[43]

Joel delivers Ellie out of the city, heading for "home" at Tommy's. To spare her from feeling survivor's guilt he lies to her by telling her immunity meant nothing. Ellie is greatly dismayed when she hears this. The two finally reach Tommy's Dam, where Joel remarks that they can return to their normal life. Unable to cross through the main road due to the truck breaking down, they detour into the woods. Walking through the woods, he tells her that he used to hike with Sarah, believing the pair would have "been good friends". Eventually, Ellie confronts Joel and questions him whether what he tells her is true. Joel replies, "I swear", leaving a doubting Ellie to her own belief.[44]

Joel the hero, I still can't believe Cuckmamn dismantled this beautiful role model and made a fanfiction based on... the events of the first game.
