In a society with an ounce of dignity, this game would be banned, and Neil Druckman would be a arrested for making this propaganda.

You're maybe joking, but just in case. Nah man. Nah. Censorship is not the way forward. Druckman is free to make his art however he wants & we are free to respond to it however we want. That's how it should be.

The reaction videos this weekend are going to be supremely entertaining. Can't wait to settle in with some beers and good ol' fashioned schadenfreude.

Yup, going to be a good time.

 

[Blond]

Different character. Druckmann's self-insert ends up banging a blonde writer with normal tits.

LMAO fuck this guy if that's true.

I've asked my mate to call me as soon as he gets to that bit.

Has it been established if Abby is MTF, FTM or neither?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Has it been established if Abby is MTF, FTM or neither?

Neil leaving it purposely ambiguous so when you ask him he can tell you it doesn't really matter.

 

[point decay]

christ, its like a Princess Bride parody 14.40:- Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

 

[wzy]

Has it been established if Abby is MTF, FTM or neither?

Confirmed biological male. If Abby were a woman those nips would be censored.

 

[PanzerAzel]

Wait.......this is a joke, right? Is this honestly in the game? Please someone tell me this is shopped.

If not, Christ this fucking guy. ND has to get this hack out of there ASAP, I've never seen a creator so full of himself and pushing his own personal politics so blatantly that compromises his work than I have here.

The "morally compromised"? Unbelievable.

[brian0057]

Did you guys know Laura Bailey not only voices Abby but also does the mocap?
Fucking Druckman dragged Laura into this clusterfuck.

 

[Nymphae]

So I just heard

Spoiler

there is a trans sex scene in this game

 

[Holgren]

Is it true that you kill a dog and then see flashbacks of its entire life? Someone told me that and thought it was hilarious lol.

 

[Teslerum]

Is it true that you kill a dog and then see flashbacks of its entire life? Someone told me that and thought it was hilarious lol.

Not exactly. You have to QTE kill a dog and afterwards you get a flashback to when it was your dog so you feel extra bad about killing it. AFAIK. Maybe someone here saw the scene already.

 

[Birdo]

Watching a streamer, the chat goes mental whenever he kills a dog

 

[Teslerum]

This reviewer didn't like the plot.

So uhm

For those asking - Tommy gets a divorce from his wife and is alive and super pissed he can't go kill Abby.

I mean its a little thing, but of fucking course they wrote that in.

Looks like it to me. Ill see if I can find the images.

I haven't played it yet but to me she looks like a lean small breasted Women I see at the gym, only problem is I don't know how she would obtain that body shape in a world like that?

I don't think I've ever seen a women with *breasts* quite that small even in the Gym unless there were special circumstances.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Pretty sure in elementary school, my female classmates had bigger tits in grade 5.

 

[LaughingStock]

Trans kid kills "his" own mother. Stunning and brave.

 

[JORMBO]

Game reviewers: Naughty Dog are masters of story telling

Me reading the spoilers:

 

[ZZZZ]

Tommy confronts Ellie.
Not sure if it has been posted yet.

 

[Teslerum]

Trans kid kills "his" own mother. Stunning and brave.

This was today's surprise. Full side-story about trans struggles in post-apocolypse.

This game is a thing that keeps on giving. A horrible, badly written-to-the-point-of-hilarity thing. But, a.... thing.

 

[Blond]

I don't think I've ever seen a women with *breasts* quite that small even in the Gym unless there were special circumstances.

Something like is what I'm talking about. But like I said, I just don't know how she would get in that shape without resources. I don't know how you wouldn't have seen a Woman that doesn't look like this at the gym.

If you removed the bra her breasts would still a little bit stand out. Abby has nothing. Nothing.
I'm not talking her with clothes on. I'm talking her chest in the sex scene which looks like a well trained males chest, not a womens.

 

[Saber]

Tommy confronts Ellie.
Not sure if it has been posted yet.

Who did this to him? Abby?
Man...this is all sad. Seems like everyone is fucked aside from Abby.

 

[Swadedtx]

This is gonna be a real test of Twitch's streaming guidelines. Abby looks like a male with her shirt off, but it's a sex scene between her and a male. So, either she's trans or she's a woman having sex with a man. How do the guidelines fall there?

I picture them sweating over whether to hit the ban button.

I think Neil already confirmed Abby is trans.

One of the cut scenes the guy literally describes Abby having arms like his lol. This girl in the pic you posted still has womanly propositions. Abby blends right in with the dudes around her.

 

[LaughingStock]

Abby is a female head on a male body. That's it. Female body builders don't look like that.

It's a stupid character design.

[#Phonepunk#]

Here for the shitshow

Mostly I think it's funny the plot is a religious group has the time to waste resources hunting down people that make up a very tiny amount of the population. Like yes of course there would be a cult based on not hoarding water or food or energy or anything useful in an apocalyptic future. No, they do this thing which makes absolutely no sense and could have been ripped from an 80s horror movie. so dumb

Just wait till the not so nice videos come, this guy was just being silly. I'm gonna let this sit after this point, I'll check in a week.

 

[Sander Cohen]

OK, after watching few vids today I have to say........what a colossal waste of talent and resources at ND on this shitshow. because I don't think I've seen any game look better than this, including Uncharted 4 which was sublimely gorgeous.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I think Neil already confirmed Abby is trans.

Has he though? I'm genuinely curious. I know a lot of people are mocking Abby by her looks, but is it actually guaranteed somewhere? I've been curious because I haven't seen any proof anywhere, be it in or out of game. At least yet if it exists.

This is what I'm saying too, also I just watched the entire six minute scene (Conversation leading up to it is 5:20 seconds, you can find it on reddit). Abby's breast have clear round definition that lost in the angle people are trolling with but the seconds before it you see what I was talking about, women with strong chest and flatter breast that you see who lift heavy weights. I just don't understand how she would get to that level in that world which to me doesn't make sense.

Also, I spoiled more of the story and there's a flashback with her as a little girl.

As someone else mentioned, her/his gender was intentionally made ambiguous to get a rise out of people. If you notice that Abby looks like a man then you are bad and evil and racist.

Yeah, I agree to all of this. I think a lot of people are just trolling. A woman's cup size can most certainly be that size, and also on a woman that's built. So, I don't really get it.

Regardless, saying she looks like a man is one thing, because yeah, she definitely looks manly. But that doesn't mean she's straight up trans, lmao.

I suppose that's one way to look at it. But on that same coin, what if she's really just some buff girl and that's it? With that one actress's in-game model getting a breast reduction, it looks more like Druckmann has an agenda against larger cup sizes or something, lol.

I mean in some shots Abby looks more feminine than some previous Netherrealm female models, lmao.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Oh boy this thread is going to be great when people who didn't partake in the spoils get around to playing.

I cannot wait for my first playthrough. My wife is going to judge the shit out of me.

 

[Swadedtx]

Need to click on it cos I'm crap but her point 4 is that 'she loves everything with Joel' so makes me wonder if she's played a different game to the rest of us as he gets his head caved in with a golf club in a couple of hours - makes me think there has to be more Joel and Ellie or is she just chatting shit?

You love that he gets his leg blown off and his skull caved in?

She's friends with Naughty Dog people it's funny how she made a youtube about reviewers not being bought all of a sudden.

 

[Umbral]

People always post examples but forget that these women are living in the first world, with food abundance, time abundance, the ability to make a career of it, a team of trainers, state of the art gyms, no real dangers to worry about, in addition to steroid and testosterone usage.

But what if this was a scenario where Abby just worked out and lifted religiously out of revenge? She just proteined out on whatever she could to crush him like the ant he is.

I can't type that without laughing cause of how cartoon-y it sounds, but who knows, lmao. With this game's writing I wouldn't be surprised if that was real, hahaha.

yes WHERE DO U GET TRANS TREATMENT IN A POST APOCALYPSE?

the whole thing is absurd. the more I think about it, the more nothing makes sense.

it's just using wrapping current hot topics in a Prestige Horror packaging.

and the writer behind it all? another rich white bearded brave feminist cis male who has never seen America outside of a NYC cab ride. he is the one telling this story. hilarious.

 

[wzy]

That video was hilarious. She goes on and on about all the intense pressure from the public to give game a high score it's just like, duh, that's why they hired your spineless conformist ass.

 

[EviLore]

Abby has Arnold Schwarzenegger pecs in that sex scene. Christ.

In the leaks there was a clip of her training in what looked like a modern gym that was well-kept and sanitized and everything. It makes no sense and I'm curious how they shoehorned it in there.

So have you seen all the spoilers? How do you think it's going to go down in the OT tomorrow? Us in the spoiler thread are just a bunch of 'you don't get it' or you think there's gonna be a lot of disappointment in that thread tomorrow?
