The Last of Us Part II Spoiler Discussion Thread

[The Wolf Among You]

The internet isn’t real life. The game is going to sell regardless.

The internet is definitely real life.
This is another Pokémon Sword & Shield situation, people are just pissed off, and they’re 100% gonna buy this game, some of them will even lie about it.
The Last of Us will be fine sales wise.

Not necessarily people saying they won't buy the game most likely won't, like someone said most casuals don't use the internet like that to get spoiled, It will be heavily divisive though.

Breh, I’m telling you 80% of the people screaming that they’re not buying the game are gonna buy the game.
Games with worst controversy have sold amazing. People talk to hear themselves online and in person.

Clearly you didn't read by previous quote. 10 nikkas screaming they won't buy it doesn't represent the millions that will buy it either way

Meh believe what you wanna believe bruh

I’ve only seen parts of the OG game and the prequel but I know the general premise. I can sort of wrap my mind around reckless pandering but killing off Ellie and Joel while forcing fans to spend half of the game as their killer is a horrendous business decision that makes season 8 of GOT look like season 1 of GOT. The entire premise of the series is Ellie’s immunity as well as Joel’s role as her protector and father figure.

This game utterly annihilates all of that. How could they have thought people would like this?

On a side note, nikkas switching to "all that matters is the sales" this early on is all the more evidence that this game is going to be shyt

 

[HiiiPower]

these idiots could of made it about Abby from get go and have Joel and elle in it as a surprise
Like show her parents death and how Abby is and her life then like half way in do the Joel death and her hunting elle

this is actually a much better idea

So you just want the same story from the first game just bigger?

It's not that simple

They flagging ppl posting the leaks

Companies already try their luck in challenging fair use

And some of these dudes claiming innocence 2 drum up drama

No, it is that simple.

They are not only flagging videos that display leaked content - which I am cool with - they are flagging content creators that are merely offering a negative opinion about the story. They are seriously abusing the youtube copyright system and thats fckd up.

There's nothing to debate here. Stop making excuses for these clowns.

So someone figured out how TLOU2 leaked.



tldr: Sony’s online security continues to be trash. Trash enough to hack older games to get the new game.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

brehs really believe that people are cancelling pre-orders in droves because of the leaked plot? The majority of people buying this probably don't know about the leak or don't care because they were buying it anyway. This is "Captain Marvel is gonna flop because no one likes Brie Larson" all over again.

Idk

Games and comics are different than other forms of media because of their fans

so the leak was the result of “random” hackers?

that’s hard as hell to believe...very sloppy shyt by ND tho if true

Jason Schreier, a journalist in the industry with legit connects and sources, backs it up





He let people know about the crunching and work conditions of ND so he's not biased towards them or trying to cover for them.

 

[humminbird]

the more I sit with the ending the more it makes sense

they're going with the theme of who are the real monsters and how the most gruesome events of this game are all done by humans.

then they have to live with the mistake.

Joel hid that secret and it costed him.

I'm not making excuses. I'm bored. So, I'm watching a lot of those videos.

Hell, video game critique is my favorite video category--besides try on hauls --I've watched a lot of videos on the leaks over the past few.

They were posting screens and pics of the leaks. One posted a ResetEra screen and read the leaks.

I don't care about Naughty Dog.

But, I can see a legal precedent for even people who aren't showing info, but, breaking down line for line, information they aren't supposed to know.

Angry Joe just dropped a spoiler video and he, IMO, did it the right way, he spoiled it, but, didn't list line by line what was leaked. He just went into general shyt.

This same thing happened with Borderlands 3, they just sent them boys to one of their houses.

Cut this fanboy shyt out. Some of those YouTubers are lying. This issue is bigger than this particular instances. I don't have a problem with you disagreeing with me.
