lurker2006 posted:My issue is the gaping void of expertise in the actual subject matter. They offer the basic journalistic professionalism for publishment, but beyond that it's just surface level takes punched up with flowery prose. I don't mean to denigrate them as not being real 'gamers', I mean to say that nothing they offer surpasses the lukewarm takes you could expect from an average 'gamer' on a forum. Odds are you'd have better luck scrolling through this board for the occasional effort post than reading through professional websites. I don't know maybe the journalistic delivery is all that can be reasonably expected from them? lurker2006 posted:I'll just go ahead and say that her having a cycling bodybuilder's physique in the apocalypse just seems...out of left field and distracting?

it's bad acharacter design unless they show Abby eating (or talking about eating) constantly, also they have to explain where she is getting all that food and juice

Looking at her abs I don't think she's eaten anything for a while. Which would be the bad bit of her design is she looks like she's gone into a food cut before a body sculpting competition, in the post apocalypse.

It’s hilarious how mad small-muscled men are over a character in a video game having a bicep.

Goa Tse-tung posted:it's bad acharacter design unless they show Abby eating (or talking about eating) constantly, also they have to explain where she is getting all that food and juice When everyone else was busy looting hospitals, she had the foresight of looting the local gym for a lifetime supply of supplements and roids. This will all OBVIOUSLY be explained in the upcoming novelization "The Last of Us: Abby -- Lean Times, and Getting Ever Leaner" and the accompanying 20 part ARG.

Wasn't it revealed Abby lives in a gym or something like that? Maybe that, combined with harvesting dogs for sweet proteins, gave her all the gains she needed.Zeta Acosta posted:To be honest a girl ripped to hell is more credible than fungi zombies IMO. I will not be satisfied until muscle girl fungi zombies are in this video game.

I'm not sure if the creative minds behind Naughty Dog are up to the task of delivering a deep and nuanced plot. Bear with me and let's explore. Missile Command on the Atari XE was the definitive narrative exploration of how violence and brutality overshadow the struggles, hopes and dreams of humanity with a rich and varied lifetime meaning nothing in the face of a nuclear apocalypse. A lone survivor, nay a commander, destined to be the last person alive. Eternally failing to be the saviour the world needs. Doomed to never see their loved ones again. Not even their ashes. How can The Last of Us 2 even being to compare with such a classical genre-defining exploration of the human condition? I mean look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtExeWqZN20 Naughty Dog really need to try a lot harder for the third game. A lot harder.

I just discovered that the character of Manny, who is Abby's boyfriend in the game, is a self-insert of Neil Druckmann. That's... ah, interesting.

Yeah, Missile Command actually hosed up Dave Theurer’s head, the guy had constant nightmares of nuclear holocaust and quit the industry because he couldn’t handle doing something like that again. ... I don’t think Druckmann will have the same perspective (although the people who watched hours and hours of violence and brutality as research might)
