The last of us 2 uses the LGBT community as a shield to make it immune from criticism. Any shade thrown towards this game is seen as bigotry. Neil was smart in that way making it so he and fans of this game would have moral high ground.Is this why no one criticizes Bioware games? Because they have LGBT characters in them? --- ...

The Last of Us 1 did nothing new and people like Angry Joe sang an entirely different tune. Because people have different opinions on different things. He liked the first one mainly for its story, he didn't like the story of this one and the lack of innovation following the generic gameplay of the first.
Not only is that not true, it's also not okay
Wut that's insane logic. Pressing buttons doesn't mean something can't be innovative. Far Cry 3 was innovative despite building off FC2's gameplay because it added things. Wingsuits, wild animals that can attack you and enemies, outposts that can be attacked in multiple ways. It gave the MC a storyarc and made the 1st person perspective relevant. Then 4/5/ND just did the same thing. They didn't continue adding new ideas or trying something different Ass Creed 2 was innovative despite building off AC1, more buildings to climb, the villa, new equipment, more open ended missions. Games like Shadow of the Colossus, Obra Din, Get Even, This War of Mine, Papers Please all try new things or new ways to tell stories. The argument of "It's okay to be dull and generic because it's literally impossible not to be dull and generic so why do the effort of trying to be interesting or having passion for new ideas or improvements to existing ones." is so monumentally stupid on such a fundamental level that out of respect to your intelligence I refuse to believe that you actually think that. A toddler wouldn't even accept that logic if you fed him Pizza 9 days in a row and then claimed there was nothing other than pizza to eat in the world so there's no point in trying anything different. If you really believed this was the apex of humanity and nothing new or different can or ever will be created so everything no matter what is the best it can ever be or worse, you wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. What would be the point? You're still throwing around a lot of subjective words and framing things in a way to make it sound like truth. "Some people just like boring, awful shit and applaud whatever they are told to like, while others prefer to think and experience new things." Yes? Your point? Opinions are subjective. That is truth. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's another Joe? Does he just make friends with joes so he can be the angry one? Other Joe's like a childhood friend of his and has been on the show for probably 10 years. Not sure why he's called Other Joe but altogether that channel has a solid trifecta now. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 ...

No, I'm actually saying the facts don't care about my feelings or yours. Opinions aren't facts.
No those are opinions
Hyperliterally there aren't. On some level I think I can agree in that there are some things so absurd I think no one would subjectively hold them IE: A game with a 2 minute loading screen is better than the same game with a 3 second loading screen. But on those aspects, TLOU2 is terrible. Long loading times and forced walking sections Whether or not gameplay, story, characters, art design, sound design, use of color, control scheme etc is "Good or bad" is not objective, that's purely subjective.
No quite the opposite. That's what you're saying. You're saying The Shining and by extention PewDiePie and Donald Trump and McDonalds are objectively great things because they are popular and a lot of people like them. And The Room is objectively bad because it's unpopular and a lot of people dislike it. I'm saying there is no objective truth, only subjective perspectives. You can like or dislike something. Someone else will have a different experience. Pizza doesn't objectively taste good because you like it and a lot of people agree with you. You gotta be more open midned man. Things aren't objective just because you agree with them. That's the height of arrogance, boarderline religious fanaticism --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ...

smh @ at these conspiracies.I think his point is that people who bring up the complaints such as the boring gameplay, too long, terrible story, lazy enviroment design, bland characters, awful pacing etc are often dismissed as being bigoted as a lazy deflection to avoid those views. They're not "coming across as bigoted." they're just being called it. I mean users in this topic alone have openly said anyone who dislikes it is doing so to go against being woke. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ...

I didn't say everything was dull and generic. I said we pretty much ran out of new ideas. There are lots of ideas out there and all kind of ways you can combine them or express them. You can create your take on existing genres and themes. You can still be the best, worst, or anywhere in between. We can innovate infinitely in some aspects of society, but no one is inventing new basic story plots. Everything you like is derivative.

it feels like people conflate ND calling out the haters (people who send death threats, complain about lesbian relationships, Abby's buffness, etc.) with them attacking people who just don't like the game.
like, there's nothing to suggest that ND criticized/attacked people for just not being into TLoU2, but now they're somehow using their characters who might belong to some marginalized group, or another, as some kinda shield for any kinda critique, whether it's valid or not. --- The means of production should belong to the collective unconscious ...

And yet at the same time you claim TLOU2 has to be boring and bland and dull because it's impossible for it not be. Hence why I don't believe you. g0ldie posted... it feels like people conflate ND calling out the haters (people who send death threats, complain about lesbian relationships, Abby's buffness, etc.) with them attacking people who just don't like the game.I wasn't talking about Naughty Dog, I was talking about TLOU2 fans including in this topic. It's a common defense to go "You're just saying the gameplay is dull and too long because Ellie is gay!" even though she was gay in the first game. I don't think that was Naughty Dog's intention but without a doubt a lot of TLOU2 fanboys are doing it. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

Popularity is actually not a great judgement of quality. The highest grossing movies of 2019 were not the highest quality. The most popular restaurants are fast-food. They are objectively not the best, but they are the most popular. Anyone who prefers a Big Mac to Kobe beef is objectively choosing worse quality. Their opinion doesn't change the facts. --- ...

Bloodborne was not innovative. It is neither boring nor bland.Ok? TLOU2 was. See. Your "they had no choice other than to be boring and bland" doesn't even work in your own argument that it's impossible to not just repeat the same old shit Hell Bloodbourne and Sekiro only exists because Dark Souls was getting old so they tried new ideas to revamp the the game, focus on speed and guns no shield and stealth respectively. Maybe TLOU2 could have tried Off the top of my head but they couldn't be assed. To try anything. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

All value judgements are 100% subjective. "Better" graphics is thus an entirely personal experience, more detailed, higher poly count etc are objective, things that can be directly measured in some way. How is this such a difficult concept for people? Who tf even wants their opinions to be validated as somehow more correct than those of others? Why?

There is no way Last of Us 2 or Cyberpunk even close to being the worst games in 2020If you say so A bland mediocre game with a terrible story and a game that's blatantly unfinished, full of bugs/glitches with weak game design I don't think having a huge budget means you should be immune to criticism. Especially considering with that time, talent and money comes expectation. If TLOU1 and Witcher 3 are way better and years old by the same guys then ultimately what was the point? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!
