Oxxidation posted:i do not remotely care that ellie or joel died because everyone in that setting is basically a walking corpse anyway (lol aren't we all), but "evil christian cult crusading for heteronormativity" is bush-league bullshit for an apocalypse story Yeah, except for that those spoilers sound pretty good to me? I like that the ending is NOBODY WINS

Oxxidation posted:the first game was absolutely this dark, it's just that nearly everyone playing it was apparently too thick to understand the point it was making so now we get it again without any of the craft or subtlety I'm the much less dark cannibal cult doing anything to survive that definitely wasn't supposed to draw yet another comparison to Joel and his dead partner, the lovely People

fadam posted:I guess the problem is that it doesn’t matter how many people (myself included) cattily post in this thread making fun of how generic and lovely the leaked plot is because there are like a billion guys out there who are going to play this and do the soy face when they finally “get” the incredibly blunt messaging of the game. See the continued success of franchises like Westworld and Dad of War. I don't know what this means and I think that's probably a good thing

Eimi posted:The Fireflies are loving morons who would've butchered Ellie for no gain so why would I care about being one of the daughters of that bunch of incompetent morons? I think this is what's repelling some people ultimately; people wanting to play in the role of the character versus see where the narrative goes. I'd be really interested in doing that bit. I'm way less interested in the apparently over-long torture porn scene that they showed off a while ago (I haven't seen it). That said I didn't play TLOU until it was free on PS+ so you know, I'm not super invested one way or the other. Switching characters to their killers reminds me of Hotline Miami actually.

Harrow posted:Sure but it also applies to, like, Joel, who is pretty big and buff himself. Joel's not exactly a skinny, malnourished-looking dude at any point. Joel is nourished by thread wars about the ending of TLOU, which unfortunately doesn't compare to the reckoning Abby will bring on him fueled by the wars about her biceps

Legal guardians generally are the ones to give consent for medical operations for minors but that's not the point. The point is that there was no way a cure was going to matter due to the Fireflies having no way to mass produce or distribute one, duh.

I... was being sarcastic. Stux posted:this might be a cultural thing but in the uk minors are able to overrule their parents on medical matters because theyre distinct human beings and not property. In America its generally recognized that minors cannot give meaningful consent to anything because their brains aren't developed yet But really the point was that they can't deliver a vaccine anywhere

MeatwadIsGod posted:Subtlety is generally overrated imo. Look at Death Stranding. Incredibly blunt with the added benefit of all its gameplay systems reinforcing its themes at every possible opportunity. A character literally says "here, I brought you a metaphor" and it rules. I know authors who use subtext, and they're all cowards.

Gologle posted:RE4 is a better game than The Last of Us, and the credit sequence alone, not even the rest of the game, just the credit sequence, blows it out of the water in terms of the themes they wanted the player to understand. I don't know why people are getting mad about a sequel that hasn't even released yet when it's original game couldn't even outdo a game that came out fifteen years ago. RE6 is better than both RE4 and TLOU, that doesn't mean they're not all good games
