Dont fall for it. Game is pretentious and has an LGBT agenda, story steals alot from Red Dead here and there, important characters die very often. Naughty Dog is a very:mjpls: studio also.
I was noticing how there’s only one black guy in the whole game
Two black women
2 Spanish people
4 Asians maybe more
But only one breh I get it’s Wyoming but still

important characters died in the first one...

important characters dying isn't something that just started in fiction. Stephen Kind has been doing it for decades, as well as george rr martin.

shyt even in Chinua Achebe's books these things happen. it's not a new phenomenon at all.

If you haven't played the first go ahead and skip it.

The new game has enough backstory to fill in most of the gaps with better gameplay.

Just an FYI the lead writer/director is Jewish (actually born in Israel) so understandably he should be pushing his “agenda”. I’d want a black lead writer/director to push our “agenda” too...
:yeshrug:
this is true. this is why i'm able to continue playing the game from an objective perspective...

do you know of any black game studios?

bruh you have a partner with you. she'll literally tell you what you have to do. and if you press L3 the game will give a hint.

maybe it's time to hang up the controller, fella. :francis:

:russ:

The Last of Us Part II Interview with Neil Druckmann & Halley Gross | IndieWire

This interview explains the thought process behind some key moments. They didn't mention females, women, or strong the whole time.

Abby's plot arch was inspired by the character switch in the first game and them wanting you to empathize with a parallel revenge quest. They talk about why she spares Abby (which was basically what I've been saying in this thread).

They talk about why did she even go to Santa Barbara and how it's more about her mental health than Abby at that point, and that factors into her decision later. Which is also basically how I saw it.

I think people are seeing more than what's there to justify being upset tbh.
