4Chan Rumor: The Last of Us Part 2 is rumored to be a story of revenge...

Making the main plot point about homophobia against ellie's romantic choice takes all the focus away from what makes last of us the last of us.

It could be a small subplot, just like the original TLOU had lots of different sub plots amd secondary characters.

I don't see nothing unlikely in a powefull sectary christian group chasing 2 woman wandering in a post apocalyptic world, do you?

If its a subplot fine. But the original article honestly makes it seem like the game revolved around it.
 
If this turns out to be the case then tlou is a one off game as far as im concerned.

We left mp out for this? Lol

Its sad that we're at a point where this is actually believable.
 
I'm getting real tired of this crap if this is true. I can't even think of one game where it's Muslims or some other religion that actively and openly does this stuff TODAY. I see this crap all over TV and now it's in games as well. I just want one friggin modern AAA game that shows my faith in a positive light.

I loved the first one but never bothered with the DLC, because I couldn't care less about who imaginary video game characters like to fuck. For me, The Last of Us was the story of Joel and his eventual redemption through Ellie, after losing his daughter. I won't be playing the sequel as I no longer own consoles, but I hope this isn't true. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it is, though.

Might be a reason why theres nothing positive. No dark ages, no dark souls, take comfort in that, theres a positive

Edit: and dante's inferno, theres another one for you

I don't get why so many people are getting worked up and taking this seriously. I mean come on it's 4Chan leak, poorly written and most likely it's bait to get people fired up. It sounds like total BS to me.

It's funny how Christians are always depicted as religious homophobes, yet there exists another religion where homosexuality is literally illegal and punished with death......

I get that, but it's a little annoying they are going with a religious angle if true.
I'm just saying let's say it was set in a Muslim country ( just using as a example you can insert any religion you choose )
they would never go along with a storyline like that.

Bearing in mind this is from ND based in California. The question is whether the studio have people who could produce a story (or draw from experience) from having lived in that part of the world.

Is it not easier to tell a good story from pulling from what you know.

Regardless, this is only a rumour at this stage.

How about the fact that there's zombies everywhere and they'd be risking their lives? It makes zero sense, anyone this retarded who's willing to take those risks just to kill some lesbians would have been killed off right away.

That just doesnt make sense in an apocalypse. People worrying about oppressing sexual orientation, meanwhile society has collapsed and flesh eating zombie roam but no, let's go find gay people to kill.
Click to expand...
I mean theyre are conservstive Christians blamimg a global pandemic on gay marriage right now
 
I would not be surprised. There is clearly a cult that has it out for the that super roided out lesbian in the first trailer. Naughty Dog should do what they did with Uncharted 4, and scrap it. This time changing directors would be for the better.

Dont know how that would be true esp when the leaked footage has Dina alive in Seattle which is prob later in the game passed when they prob already have been attacked.

I dont know, people have been doing weird stuff like ripping hearts, burning and torturing people because of their religious beliefs for at least 10.000 years, even under atrocious living standards.

I hear she sleep walks, and falls off cliff, if only she wasnt sleepless in Seattle
 
Fugly girl with a giant nose shaped like the prototype PS3 controller is the object of everyone's obsession? Lol get the fuck out of here.

I hate that this sounds entirely plausible. This is Cuckmann's game after all.
 
I don't know anything about Last of Us, but from the short teaser I saw it looks like this Dina seduces this Ellie and fakes her own death. Then Ellie becomes a psycho murderer who thinks she justified in killing, only to have Dina reappear at the end of the game and be like, "You did my bidding for nothing, bitch. I don't even like you."
 
There's probably a kernel of truth to it, but I'd expect the execution to be less absurd than how it's presented on 4chan. Woke or not, they're in it to make a successful mass market product.

Which teaser did you get all that from?
 
Seems very possible. We already know Ellie's quest for revenge is a large part of the plot from the trailers, and it's certainly not going to be because of some simple random death.

The more I think about the more I think it's just trolling for Easter.

Are you comparing atrocious living standards to having millions of blood thirsty zombies around every corner that kill on sight?
 
I'm not saying this is true. It could be nonsense. But it could be true.

At the end of the day this game will be a bunch of (probably) straight, older guys telling the story of a young gay woman. They got away with that in part 1 because Ellie's sexuality wasn't the focus of the story, it was just character stuff on the side. If they try to build their entire narrative around it this time... Well, I can easily see that going wrong. It wouldn't be the first time something similar has happened.
 
I'm sure this is 4chan clickbait to get the gamerbros all riled up. But even if it wasn't i'd love be a story about two gay women killing some homophobic people in a post apocalyptic setting

Situations like these are why the r/menwritingwomen subreddit exist. They're gonna have their hands full with this garbage.

It's set several years later. Maybe it's like The Walking Dead where after a while the zombies weren't much of a threat as the survivors knew how to handle them unless they get overwhelmed by a herd and the real threat is evil people and their followers like The Governor, Negan etc.

Maybe they're in a big safe zone where the zombies aren't much of a threat. Trailers seem to imply that to some degree by having events like the dance where they kiss etc.

No idea if the rumor is true, but I do feel that it's going to be the case where life has started to move on and the zombies aren't a major threat in safe zones anymore and to have a plot more focused on evil people than the first game was.
 
The focus on the lesbianism in the trailers was already a red flag.

I'm sure ND will try to disguise it with "nuanced" elements so it doesn't look that obvious, but it's going to be obvious anyway.

But if you made a game depicting Aztecs doing this, the usual suspects would flip their shit. The game would be heavily panned and possibly cancelled.

I have no doubt that crazy right-wing religious wacko sects would rise up in a post-apocalyptic world. But there would also be settlements that try to establish communist ideals and everybody starves to death. There would also be antifa types running amok.

But game developers would generally only dream of depicting one scenario and not the others.
 
I soo don't want this to be true, but I can see it being true, written from Druckman.

Is it just me lmao at the idea of everyone wanting Dina? I guess it really is slim pickings in the apocalypse..
 
What is wrong with people saying they won't buy if this is true. Holy shit. Some of you hate gay people or something? And religious groups like the Muslims would kill for something like this, why say they wouldn't use other religious groups like " Muslims" you know damn well they would, it happened already. But man take reality and a fuck & game so serious.. holy shit.. come on gaf. You are better.

Don't mean this in a bad way at all but please dont put potential spoilers in a thread title.

The story is going to leak for this at some point and the fans have waited too long to get potentially spoiled. 😊

Agreed. End of the day, this is a huge budget game with a very long development cycle. They aren't going to go too any huge extremes.

Yeah, I'm sure it will have some "woke" shit that riles up the people that complain about SJWs all the time, and having a lesbian lead will of course rile up the true homophopes (many of whom probably beat their dicks raw to lesbian porn and then go bitch about "dykes" or whatever on forums).

But it will also not be "woke" enough for the actual SJWs, probably do somethings that are "problematic" and earn it a lot of "yikes" from the reeeeetards and their ilk elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the rest of us normal folk will just play it and not care about any of this shit one way or the other and will either like the game or not based on whether we think it did a good job with story, character development and being fun to play.

It's like a dictionary exploded.
 
Well it's 4Chan so it's probably fake. Tho, Druckmann himself seems very..how can I put this..."3rd wave feminist-friendly" for at least the past couple of years. And that is potentially worrisome. Also with them being in California that's just another thing to create worry.

I guess it comes down to how much it comes off as genuine storytelling and can convey its message without coming off as hateful of people who don't see eye-to-eye with it (within reason). Like, believe it or not I don't mind a feminist story when it's actually FUN. Tank Girl movie, I know it's B-movie schlock but damnit that is a fun ass movie. Birds of Prey? Complete trash. Only genuinely good parts there were Black Mask, Huntress and Black Canary, and even they sucked in some ways.

Basic point being, both had some strong feminist stuff in there but one (Tank Girl) does it very right and the other (Birds of Prey) does it terribly. And if they want to do some stuff that's pro-gay, make it fun like Doom Generation or Mysterious Skin. That way it's not just fun but also isn't spiteful for people who might not see eye-to-eye on everything about that stuff or happen to not be gay.

It's all on you, Naughty Dog.
