Its like people cant get enough of these culture war topics when Neil Druckmans name pops up. Holy shit, lol.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Nopes, most males hate playing as abby, hate joel getting golf club pass and hate tons other shit that promotes stupid and untrue agenda of men and women being equal, we as men know best women and men arent equal at all, both physically and mentally.

This is what happens when a sexy ass woman in white panties beats an alien, my friend. You actually have people out there that think men and women are equals in strength, mobility, etc.

As a stated fact, I have never in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program "MCMAP", seen a woman take down a man in real life, when we are fighting during our training portions. Not once over 16 years did I see it.

Men and women are not the same and a woman's physiology cannot sustain the substantial escalation of violence and force multipliers men have.

You can take average men and put them against Olympic trained women and it will be close or the average Joes will win.

Fuck you again, Sigourney Weaver and your fine ass.

Woman do got men beat in more graceful physical stuff like acrobatics, skating, etc.

 

[GermanZepp]

Neil druckman Is worst that happened to gaming since paying for online and micro transactions.

I prefer playstation going bankruptcy than seeing another game or media of his coming to the public.

 

[MrCunningham]

They just jelly that the Druckster made Crash Bandicoot and they didn't.

[Lethal01]

Who the fuck other than you mentioned fucking video game characters? Weirdo.

It is ok for me. Still looks better then new fable protagonist, even fuckable after one bottle of whisky.

Makes sense with all the weirdos who can't help just go harass anyone they don't like.

Either way, them knowing this sort of character would get a lot of pushback and still getting the ok from corporate to go ahead with it is one of the things that continues to puzzle me about AAA gaming. The gameplay in most AAA games is super safe and samey because doing more original or experimental stuff is "too risky" and AAA games are "too expensive to take risks", you need to be some Kojima tier industry figure to get any sort of decent funding for a more unique idea like Death Stranding.

But then with stuff like this where they know for a fact there will be pushback they suddenly don't care about the risk anymore, it's like all the risk taking in AAA gaming is done in the lamest way.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

She's actually a hot baddie with hair, no need to even change the face unlike Fable, Taash, or Abby etc. So if they allow hair styles and outfit than you can easily make her great looking and cool.

Probably another case like Concord. Hermen has declared Intergalactic to be sacred ground that nobody is allowed to criticize. Because he's afraid of offending his wife.

Not that i agree with cyber bullying but does an adult really need coaching on how to ignore optional text on your phone?

Can she lend her wig to intergalactic mc?

Neil was not even at NaughtyDog when Crash Bandicoot came out.

This is funny. It's like they went out of their way to make her as un attractive as possible. I get that not every game has to have some woman be super attractive, but Neil goes out of his way to make females just down right ugly. What's even funnier is that the real actresses they are based off of are actually pleasant to the eyes.

Cuck-Man is spreading the seed of cuckness that has infected Hollywood.

Now: "Im going to be a mom"

Then: "Im going to be a mom"

These two things are not like each other.

That's not just the hair. I'm pretty sure they made her eyes more feminine looking/sultry.

 

[PeteBull]

Nopes, they just look more sexy coz obviously they are women but in terms of any physical stuff men still are superior


Mentaly too most men are superior, we are equipped by our biology/nature to fuck up another male/enemy and even kill him mercilessly, then go around our day like nothing happened/go back to our family, for women thats trauma experience she will have to go tru therapy to overcome, and even then most likely she will still be on all kinds of meds to keep her stable

Difficulties we overcome makes us more masculine, more masculine men are more attractive, but traumatised aka more masculine women are far less attractive, it was always like that for tens of tousands of years and even a hundred years of feminism wont change the natural way humans think and behave

Its visible everywhere, even in our dating strategy, if u arent some giga chad but more on an avg side(aka not 1% but in that top20-30%, still above avg but in most modern women's eyes u are barely good enough at best sometimes ) u still had to aproach(and hear getting refused) few k different women to reach measly double digit bodycount- no chick is mentally strong enough to survive that, they almost never aproach men for this very reason- fear of rejection. Ofc sometimes u are destined to lose either way like this guy here:


Now if u are a chick and i dont mean beautiful one, but some ugly fatso- u make tinder account and can fuck new guy every day for a year w/o even trying, that is why being a slut is shamed- coz its super ez to do, while being a playboy/player is respected- coz its fucking hard to achieve.

Hey guys, what's going on in this th-

Since you only have 10 years of service on GAF, let me educate you.

The Last of Us Part II: 93 Metacritic Score = Universal Acclaim

You are one of the loud minority GAF users I was talking about.

Never knew that game reviewers were an authority on what's good or not. What happens if you don't comply with this "universal acclaim"? Will game journos dispatch a bruiser gang to set the record straight?

Honestly? Yes. People are so attached to what random bozos think of them. It's a disease.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

And who do you suppose is the main character in her life?

Now you're just being difficult and get hung up on semantics. Yes, we're all main characters in our lives. But there's quite a big difference between that and beliving that you are the most important, correct, rightous person that everything revolves around.

Main character syndrom is a figurative concept. If we sit here and try to pick it apart then we'll just be going in circles. My English is a bit rusty but I hope you get my meaning.

 

[GateofD]

I feel the bald girl in the video game looks alrite. Does the actress look like her or something? I don't even know who's voice acting her

 

[PeteBull]

You're joking right? lol

Nope, i am not indoctrinated by western college/massmedia, im antifeminist and antiwokeists like majority of 4b men who live on planet earth.

Look at those strong independed bossbabes here, only 4k usd for such a healing treatment, such a deal, those "queens" already gotta pay for their own drinks so finally experiencing a bit of so called "equality" :

When a man spends 4k bucks at the strip club he can at least get proper service in the vip room and stress relief

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Guess what bro, women get much more ugly w/o hair, healthy long hair is one of major give aways and attraction trigger for men where they recognise young fertile woman,

How did you come up with this?

Considering we all came from a common African ancestor. Back when we were evolving our most base behavior NO women had long hair. It's not a thing with native African tribes today, much less the more primitive tribes of African antiquity who didn't have the products necessary to maintain long hair.

Admit it... you just made that shit up, didn't you?

 

[Great Auk]

The Science Behind Why Men Find Long Hair Attractive - Hair Development

Luscious locks teaming with life have been a striking staple of longed after ladies for centuries. When men are asked to rank features they find most attractive on the opposite sex, maintained manes always dominate the list. The truth is that long hair triggers a primal, instinctive response...

hair-development.com

Its common sense for any guy or woman, common knowledge men love long hair on women, why u think most women keep their hair long despite it requiring so much upkeep/work and time, coz its clear benefit to it? Its a telltale sign- im young/fertile/sexy and every woman wanna feel sexy

Well it's been at least several thousand years that women have been wearing their hair long and have been doing elaborate braids and styles with it.

This is from the female statues on the Acropolis in Greece:

That statue is 2,500 years old.

Are they doing it because they like it or because men like it? I believe men like longer hair on women.

Wasn't there a study that found that women, when seeing another woman of similar attraction levels, will tell her that if she cut her hair short it will look good in order to make her less competitive in the sexual market?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Really wish ND would stop the social media bating and divisiveness posts. Makes it hard for me to want to buy and play their games.

Yups, contrary to what femism tells to women- they do compete among eachother, usually for very small amount of top men too, so ofc getting an edge in looks is crucial, and indeed, there was study done about it:

A seemingly light-hearted study on women's haircut advice has surprisingly dark psychological implications

Highly competitive women are more inclined to advise other women, especially those of similar attractiveness, to opt for shorter hairstyles in a potential attempt to lessen their rivals' attractiveness, reveals a study from Personality and Individual Differences. This behavior, seen even among...

www.psypost.org

Highly competitive women are more likely to recommend shorter haircuts to other women, potentially to diminish the physical attractiveness of their romantic rivals, according to new research. This phenomenon occurs even among women who are unfamiliar with one another, suggesting an innate tendency among some women to sabotage potential rivals even without a direct threat.

Why do they need to push people's buttons in the first place? Why push customers away when you want to sell them something?

This is BS western-centric science and ignores the fact that entire nations worth of people living in Africa did so for hundreds of thousands of years with women who did not wear long hair.

So long hair is a recent western thing. Therefore, trying to contrive some argument about the evolved base nature of man around something that only appeared probably a few thousand years ago is not a sound hypothesis make.

2,500 yo is recent in terms of human history.

If you're making an argument about the evolved base nature of man, it needs to be consistently seen throughout the 300,000 or so years of human history. And for most of that time, women did not wear their hair long.

Neil Druckmann is doing a nice con. Creating a perfect environment for online harrasment by featuring another ugly ass protagonist and then offering his services of coaching how to overcome it.

 

[Topher]

Why do they need to push people's buttons in the first place? Why push customers away when you want to sell them something?

They don't. Like I said, people overreact.

 

[vpance]

The grifting for sympathy script is such an outdated tactic. They can't even culture war right, doesn't look promising for the game.

 

[JayK47]

I feel pretty confident this game will not sell very well. Nowhere near TLOU numbers.

What's BS is your lack of knowledge regarding long hair and sexuality in other cultures far removed from the West, such as south Asian or east Asian cultures, dating back thousands of years.

And what nations do you speak of? Civilization only started in the last 8 to 10 thousand years. Before that we were much more animalistic. 95% of that 300,000 years of existence we were just a bit better than chimpanzees.

They also had much much smaller breasts. But as humans continued to evolve average breast size grew over many thousands of years. We are the only primate with large protruding breasts.

You're not about to tell me that men don't find breasts sexually attractive because they weren't around for the whole 300,000 years are you? And please don't point out the exception to prove the rule.

 

[consoul]

NeoGAF we back on our bullshit

I would say 'never change', but for real please change.

Came for the usual "Druckman, lulz", stayed for the history and anthropology lessons.

I love GAF

 

[Bernardougf]

Resetera has switched their thread to be about Neil Druckmann, and how he is bad for criticizing Hamas ("both-sidesing")

Meanwhile, most of them support communism, one of the most bloodthirsty and ruthless ideologies in the history of humanity.

First rule of the communist club is we dont talk about the multi-million body count.

 

[Neolombax]

Where's news about the actual game? I don't give a flying fck about these things ND.

 

[mckmas8808]

If you're watching the Last of Us show, she was one of Abby's henchmen.

The nepotism is pretty amusing lol

How is it nepotism, if a person likes to work with the same people on different projects?

What's BS is your lack of knowledge regarding long hair and sexuality in other cultures far removed from the West, such as south Asian or east Asian cultures, dating back thousands of years.

And what nations do you speak of? Civilization only started in the last 8 to 10 thousand years. Before that we were much more animalistic. 95% of that 300,000 years of existence we were just a bit better than chimpanzees.

You assume that 100% of men have that preference. I'm sure you know that's incorrect, so why push this nonsense? Because clearly the definition of "long hair" would be any length of hair that's arm pit length or longer. But clearly......and I mean CLEARLY that's not the only way for a woman to look attractive.

Will cuckman take "advantage " of her during those sessions?

Neil always appears to me as some deviant simp with a fetish on tomboys butchy girls

 

[Justin9mm]

Did anyone notice/spot her as Nora in The Last of Us season 2. As soon as I saw her, I was like oh, that's the main character from Intergalactic, she looked exactly the same. She's also Jade in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 movie.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I dunno why people are hatin on her for. A Neil Druckmann game is gonna be shit with or without her.

 

[hinch7]

Man is going far to fuel his ego (and fetishes). HBO were dumb to greenlight a season 2 without some big changes. The discourse for part 2 was huge and was never going to go down well. The only reason Naughty Dog got away with it is because of the prestige of the company and because its a damn video game.

The story with Ellie and Abby's revenge plot was always hot trash. And when you have someone who can't act as the MC, that just makes it all the worse.
