Joel was my fav character in Last of Us and the flavor text I found in the game were more interesting then the obvious storytelling of the game itself. Still a fun game tho.

Alright I was pretty sceptical about this game but watching the ending cinematic brought me back to the first one. Re-upped the pre-order.

I mean it just seems like a revenge plot where you don't actually get to experience the revenge and continuously seeking that revenge just takes and takes from you until you quit.

That's not like a bad thing. It actually sounds like a totally interesting approach. But practically it seems like the characters are slaves to that message and betray their own behavior for it. But I could see how more context could correct that impression too.

Fair enough, then. I didn't think it was fake, but there are a couple of real stark edits in the footage on the subreddit that don't look like they were necessarily part of the original cinematic.

I think what I'm getting out of it is that Neil Druckmann has some real weird blind spots about fictional violence. It's fascinating specifically because it's a big-budget film-influenced video game, so he's in a position where he's the first creator in the medium who even has the chance to make these kinds of mistakes in the first place.

On the face of it, it's a perfectly reasonable conclusion to a revenge story, but it's the kind of conclusion which would make ten times more sense with a character who doesn't have Ellie's history. You've just spent 25+ hours killing people, so why is this the sudden come-to-Jesus moment where Ellie realizes the entire thing is a futile endeavor? Does her murder boner go limp when it's actually personal?

It'd make a lot more sense if this was the ending you got on a pacifist run, were such a thing ever possible in Naughty Dog games.

I thought the graphics were great, and it was cool to see Ellie back along with some new characters. I dunno it just reminded me of the first one, maybe it was the atmosphere. I didn't "watch it" watch it, I kinda skimmed through it for a few seconds, not about to sit through a whole 10 minute youtube. I've still got to make dinner and do some other things around the house, don't have all the time in the world. Maybe fold some laundry.

Edit: Also for all the pearl clutching over canicide, I didn't see a single dog in the cutscene.

buy the game if you think that you want to play it (i heard it has a lot of preorders so i guess many people weren't bothered by the leaks or neil druckman being a dumbass), but if it doesn't look appealing then i don't think you should spend money on something you don't want just to spite some insane chud on reddit
