    sympathising or agreeing with Abby isn't gonna be as easy as it was for people to do with Thanos. Everyone in tlou is a killer or going to be one so at this point the imprints people have on Joel and Ellie isn't gonna be easily changed just cause of what they had to do to survive

    who said anything about agreeing with her, I damn sure didn't agree or sympathise with Thanos lol, but I still found him to be a compelling character, same as Anton Chigurh

    you don't have to sympathise with a character in order to for them to be well written, interesting and compelling and at least understand their motivations, and ND has shown that they are more than capable of doing that

    I mean, there are a lot of people who don't even sympathise with Joel in the first place and would flat out consider him to be the villain of the first game's story, that in itself was a huge debate when the first game came out

    I'm sure everyone loved Thanos after the first movie lol. Almost no one was mad that he won. It was more like "Damn, he actually did it."

  • Idk I think a revenge story works better when you're introduced to the person who wants revenge first. Like Lellouch in Code Geass

    Reverse revenge stories only makes sense when there is character development throughout a long period of time where you can get attached to said character (i.e. Zuko in Avatar) and even then it can still turnout trash.

    I mean I'm pretty sure exactly that's what the game's gonna attempt to to do

    I'm not saying that it might not end up being a mess but I think it's a pretty ambitious direction to take and if its done right could make for something great

    I think a lot of these reactions are really kneejerk, there's still a lot we haven't seen, at the end of the day all this is being based off of a couple of cutscenes with very little context, and a good chunk of what's being spread still being pure speculation at this point

    Seems overly ambitious especially considering the direction they took with the character.

    Too much time on my hands, couldn't avoid the spoilers. That b**** is built like Ken Shamrock. I doubt she's trans. That would be obvious pandering. She's butch asf though.

    Cant sympathize with this character when the Fireflies were complete c***s. If you read all the files and s*** it became even more apparent that they were swinging blind and had no idea what they were doing, so this narrative that Joel ruined the chance of a cure and doomed everyone doesnt work.

    Of course we wont know how it all comes together but so far it sounds like complete garbage and my hype for the game is mostly dead.

    Naughty Dog really tryin to convice us this fella is a woman

    According to some alt right gaming websites the reason for this is that they don't want to offend the trans community, this is pretty much the default for every female character now. Which is weird cause the men still look very masculine

  • Apr 29, 2020

    I know I sound like a broken record but the gaming industry really needs to die and be reborn. Too much convoluted nonsense going on.

  • Apr 29, 2020

    Oh y'all fightin fightin, damn.

  • Apr 29, 2020

    ive gotten so much more enjoyment reading about the leaks and memes associated than i would have from playing this s***. amazing

  • Apr 29, 2020

    surely the release date has to be brought forward? i just cant see a 50 day wait being credible considering everything that has happened

    is the game even going to be marketed?

  • Apr 29, 2020

    Just gonna post this and go, y'all be easy tho

    There's something sick and beautiful about the progression of who the player controls. It's like having Ellie be gay isn't enough for the people who insist on that type of content. The last protags are brutally put down in favor of this hyper macho (transexual?) and simp Asian child. I actually want to play the game now for greater context on just what the f*** ND is trying to say with this narrative.

  • Apr 29, 2020

    I don't see why we should spoiler ITT when it's pretty much the official leak discussion. Naturally someone won't click into this if they don't want to read spoilers.
