The Last of Us

I can't wait for youtubers to shit on this game when it comes out. That's the real hype for me.

I wouldn't have a problem with Buffer Abby in something like Street Fighter or even fellow Zombie Game Resident Evil (Look at Crhis Redfield), but Naughty Dog has said that TLOU II is supposed to be a very grounded experience, and yet they buffed up one of the main antagonists to such unrealistic levels its kinda breaks any sort of realism I was expecting.

I find that when devs say their game is grounded, they are more likely to put stupid bullshit in it.

Her muscles obviously harden to physical trauma

She played golf you know? Could have been a pro if she didn't want revenge.

Nanomachines, Ellie.

All the buffer to kill heroes with.

Abby: Fuck all these limp-dick Joels and chickenshit Ellies. Fuck this 24-hour Internet spew of leaks and SJW bullshit! Fuck gamers! Fuck the media! FUCK ALL OF IT! Naughty dog is diseased. Rotten to the core.

Ellie: Typical politician...all bluster, but no bite.

Senator Armstrong was Crazy Awesome. Nothing in this game will as over the top bugnuts. Although it kind of felt like the Senator was parodying Metal Gear villains at some points.

"I think authenticity from every department has been kind of a goal or a focus. Whether that's in the animations and how we're mocapping, or in the effects and how we're simulating the different elements to get the effect look that we want in-game. We wanted it to be as realistic as possible, as believable as possible, so that, as you're playing, you can hopefully get fully invested in it, and fully immersed. And we didn't want to have a character moment where it's unbelievable, both from a narrative and visual standpoint."

(Looks back at How they buffed up Abby to pointlessly ridiculous levels. Looks back at this quote)

....

This is "Quiet Breath's through her Skin" all over again.

Abby breathes through her muscles.

her final form turns into a giant arm

The last of us 2 and Knuckles.

Insert Tidus laughing for 10 hours video here.

A woman being muscular is far more realistic than a fungus that can control the human nervous system to the degree that it does in TLOU. It is also more realistic than society breaking down into bands of marauding bandits.

Never before have I seen a fanbase with such an irrational hatred for a character's bluffness.

Oh that’s a good typo.

Also to be clear I don’t really have that much of a problem with it. My reaction to it is more “Huh” than anything else.

Yeah, what's with that?

But you guys, it's DIFFERENT from the (not final) rendered scene we saw before! They LIED to us! Big arms are a sign of communism! The SJ Ws are infiltrating our vidya grms!

Abby the expert poker player.

feminist communist SJ Ws!

She's not even that... buff?

Like, when I read all the comments I guess I was expecting something a lot more ridiculous.

As i understand it, the character in question is transsexual. Or is that just a theory?

I think that’s only a theory.

She is noticeably bulkier but only in the arms & not even that exaggerated.
