so it's about 'that' scene in the game?It's about politics being in video games, Abby supposedly looking trans-sexual and about "evil lesbians" being in the game. At least that's what people told me.

Pretty much, I would say a good 95% of that sub loved Joel as a character. Considering what happens in the game, yeah they weren't too happy about people defending the story. I will say, I never seen them hate on people like they did on GF reviews. But that may been something that happen before I joined.so they didn't like the character development that took place through the course of the game?
"Hey dude, I'm from the future. I see youre playing a classic game of Donkey Kong"Imagine going back in time to 1985 and explaining this to some guy playing Donkey Kong in the back of a convenience store.
Well worth playing, it's a good game.I guess I need to play this game some day, I want to see what the fuss is all about when adults (?) are invested enough to send death threats.
There’s GFR, the polish idiot, the moron here happy about his “cuck” post, and the sub Reddit who decided they hated a game before it even released. Multiple sides, sure, but go ahead and try your best to claim they’re all equal.just one side?
Its not a super hero story, it's a world depicted as brutal and unforgiving. Killing Joel is more analogous to killing Ned Stark in Game of Thrones> don't realize the game is fiction and the characters don't exists
Hear this over and over again, even from Druckmann.
Then kill Superman, Spiderman off in the first act, and introduce your woke character, and see how the fans react.
Would you say: But, but, but Superman and Spiderman are fictitious characters and it's a factious story!!!
It's like, how dare we have hero's. How dare we! You must adapt to the current wokeness, or you're just too caught up in our fictitious entrainment.
Look everyone, it's not REAL!
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
Nothing new here, as look how fans reacted when Sherlock Holmes was killed off by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He was forced to bring him back. All that happened over 100 years ago!
btw, don't agree with threats over this, but nothing wrong with caring about fictitious characters.
And next time you claim someone looks like a cuck, do it while looking into a mirror for maximum irony.I don't care really, next time when I talk shit on the Internet I'll make sure they can't get access to my Twitter profile lol.
Pretty much. A lot of the people criticizing the game come off as the biggest assholes honestly. There is some legit critique out there too, but its buried under sheer endless posts about Abby looking like a transexual, blabla politics and Joel dying early on in the game.so it's about 'that' scene in the game?
No its more like leaks of the game came out and certain outrage YouTube flared up the click bait in completely inaccurate ways that still stick. Eg they claimed that Abby was trans - not true. Druckmann self inserted in the game to kill Joel - not true. How political the game is - not true.so it's about 'that' scene in the game?
What are you talking about?California Studio here.
What character should we have for our game.
A strong white male lead, with some light romance towards different attractive females.
WHAT???
Show that guy that door. What an offense!
No, we must appeal to game reviewers and progressive thinking fans.
Ok, how about a dark skinned male, and all the evil enemies are cis white. This would be reparations against the last 200 years of systematic racism.
Not bad.
A dark skinned female who's gay, and trans (who wants to be identified as a man), and has a gay relationship with another black male, and will have lots of "behind" sex. And of course all evil characters/enemies will be white males.
Great! Let's get to work.
Remember, all females, have to looks like boys. No long hair, no makeup, no wide hips or narrow waists, and no dresses! No point, in making trans (males who transitioned to female, without any surgery) feel uncomfortable playing our game.
Should win lots of awards, and help transition society in the image we wish to create for it. This is more than a game for us, it's a statement, an ideology. Propaganda!

Sort of like the other forum.It's not about Sony fans or xbox fans or pc fans, it's about crazy people who take games very seriously to the point where even lunatics are considered normal against them.
is there a middle ground for opinions?
Like I said, anti-SJWs are the fucking worst.
Yeah its called being a normal human beingis there a middle ground for opinions?
Oh boy... better grab some popcorn, it's going down.Do you watch any movies these days, or play any games from California studios? You can't see it?
What makes you think I would care?Do you watch any movies these days, or play any games from California studios? You can't see it?
Why do they have to take an L and why should people’s opinion change just because a year went by. You liked the game. Great. Others didn’t.I just don't get why some people hate this game with such a passion. Good lord it has been a year already since it came out.
Just take the L. The game is a fantastic masterpiece that smashed all records, won countless GOTYs and even made the internal review team of Microsoft drool all over it.
Do something better with your remaining mental health before you drive yourself into insanity over this pointless hatred of a video game.
Yeah its called being a normal human being
No, you have to embrace the ideology, or your toxic also.

You are literally in here crying because its not YOUR ideologyNo, you have to embrace the ideology, or your toxic also.
this 1000%As somebody who hates TLOU2 with a passion - it's clear that TLOU2 apologists (such as yourself) ignore the valid criticism against the game. The argument of, "I don't get why people hate this game," just shows you haven't taken the time to listen to the other side of the debate. Which is fine, if you wish to be ignorant. The whole strawman of, "Oh they just hate it because Abby has muscles and Ellie is gay!!!!", is tired at this point. Please do your research.
That being said, no video game should ever generate death threats. I have no ill will towards anybody who enjoyed the game (more power to you), I just personally won't be buying another Naughty Dog game. That's as far as it should go.
It's always good to look at it from the bright side.so help me out here, is it ok to look at the comedic side of it?
it's a kind of face Crocodile Dundee would kiss
He’s upset about the underrepresented white males in video games.What are you talking about?
Saw this just now and wow, what a crazy story.
Summary:
GF Reviews made two videos on TLOU2 last year, both positive and have seen their fanbase revolt against them simply for liking a video game. It's gotten to a point where they consistently get death threats and are constantly harrassed by the Last of Us 2 subreddit.
Recently, GF Reviews tweeted out two death threats/mean tweets that were posted on that subreddit, and one of those users emailed GF Reviews saying that their fanbase is now sending HIM death threats. GF Reviews did some investigation and found that the user used his own fake accounts to send himself death threats, and he ended up deleting all his email accounts, reddit accounts and even his own Google App developer page.
GF reviews outs him on the subreddit, but this time the mods turn on them, and accuse them of making up the whole thing. They are harrassed even more and the cycle continues. Now worse than ever.
Full video here: Must watch IMO.
My Thoughts? I did not 'get' the last of us 2. I thought their 'Understanding the Last of us Part 2' video was excellent and helped me finally understand what Druckman was trying to do with the story. I still dont like the story, I do not care for Abby, and I have grown to dislike even the gameplay since last year. However, this kind of harassment is exactly what we hate about cancel culture. People are allowed to like or dislike TLOU2. It's not the worst game in the world. As someone who has grown to dislike this game, I hate that these are the kind of nutjobs I am aligning myself with. And no, as they pointed out, it's not just one nutjob. The entire subreddit including the mods on that subreddit are that hostile.
Sadly, it often lures people who are rejected from society for these types of behaviors and enjoy gaming as escapism from their true selves.The Gaming Community Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Gaming
not for me its not.It's about politics being in video games, Abby supposedly looking trans-sexual and about "evil lesbians" being in the game. At least that's what people told me.

Just normal people having a healthy argumentthe fuck is happening in this thread ?
I had my edgy years too. I revolted when the MGS2 and Halo 2 switcheroos happened. Some people grow out of it, and others don’t.jeeze, way to bring the party down, pal!
"Hey dude, I'm from the future. I see youre playing a classic game of Donkey Kong"
"Ya, I am. Great game"
"Do you know what happens in the future when someone doesn't like a game like DK?"
"They dont waste their time watching me play it?"
"No. Everyone rags on each other, people fake suicide threats for pity points, and the creator of the game publicly bickers back at gamers"
"When does this happen?"
"About 35 years from now"
"Great. I'll be done gaming by then"
