Even tumblr has very little to say about this game that is positive. Even ResetERA is mixed. Even Polygon and Kotaku felt that there was far more bad than good. That's how irretrievably broken they are.

RetardEra knows it's shit and are crying because they can't admit it's bad without da ebil goobergrapors being right (again).

Also if they shit on it that's transphobia and they're scared to face the mob.

If Abby really is a troon, though, it's transphobic as fuck, because Abby is a psychotic serial killer who makes Buffalo Bill look normal.

Worse, he's an actual Labour Party member, and was oh so sad the morning after Grandpa Jeremy got shit on by Boris :(

I suppose it makes perfect sense why these losers are getting so worked up over a game. Most of us have jobs, families, friends, non-digital interests, responsibilities. Games are all that these creatures have. Games are Serious Business.

why do they care if the game is bad? I havent followed it much but as I understand it Joel dies pretty early in the game.

If the game story is bad who cares

It's woke, so they have to like it. They're allowed to have legitimate criticisms, they keep reminding us - but it's those darn gamers who don't like it for all the wrong reasons.

Except, of course, they happily eliminated the idea of context or the values of thoughtfulness and nuance years ago to make it easier to hate people they don't like, so anyone who criticises it will immediately get lumped in with the gamers as not liking it for bad reasons. Because they've allowed the literally insane zealot side of things - troons, primarily, in this case at least - define what is and isn't acceptable, and criticism can always get you canceled, no matter how carefully you phrase it or express it.

But remember! Cancel culture isn't real, and walking on eggshells around hypersensitive assholes for whom nothing is ever good enough doesn't actually cost you anything, especially when compared to the eons of oppression and murders they personally experience every single day.

That's why they have to like the game, and things that make it harder - like, say, a terrible plot that makes no sense and appears to be designed purely to piss off the intended audience, including brutal, devastating violence against the characters people cared about from the first game - have to be shut down. The Last of Us 2 is currently Approved Media. That can change, indications are it probably will, and they'll get little-to-no warning about when they have to switch from 'defending it from all comers' to 'if you like this you're a bigot'. But right now, criticism = violation.

Polygon’s review of the first game had the soyboy reviewer knock points off because he felt the violence was too brutal. Fucking pussy.
 
I remember a similar cycle with the second, recent Wolfenstein. Lots of shrieking and baying that only alt right Nazi gamers would dislike it, only for it to twist into a slow, horrifying realisation that the game is actually shit and its story is nowhere near as strong as the first one.
 
have they opened the LOU2 thread again?

Oh look a thread in GBS thats has creative idea....mods mods

Well imagine shilling for a shitty video game and you thank the people who leaked it a while ago to save you some of your hard earned money then.
 
So is there a peep yet anywhere on the forums about the domestic violence incident between Taxman and Bogan from last night yet?

Gonna be fantastic to see them twist themselves into quantum entanglement level knots to excuse it away this time!

D&D and CSPAM are still in a civil war over whether or not to support Joe Biden after Tara Reade's allegations. What they'll try to do is just institute a veil of silence and quickly ban or scrub anyone who tried to bring it up, like with Aatrek. The best thing to do is just talk about it where they can't ban or throttle it.

Still, Lowtax couldn't even last six months before getting abusive, this time around. The turnover rate is just getting faster and faster.
 
It's hard for me to even bring up the correct words to express the...I dunno, irony? Ennui? Eye-rolling sarcasm? At the pure distilled hypocrisy so common with leftists to simply ignore the hideous situation their daddy-lord serial child and wife abuser has going on.

What a disgusting fucking person, lmao


What a fucking disgusting person. Hey goons, I legit hope those of you reading this twitch at least a little seeing this stuff and then rushing back to C-SPAM or DnD to furiously excuse Richard Kyanka literally beating the fuck out of what, three women now? Also every child he has is directly traumatized by his actions, this is actively known. Now Sloane, an infant/toddler, latest of his victims (besides the BDP freak whore that is Logan Day) is also a victim. Is this really who you are? Is this really what you stand up for? I don't care if you're a full blown commie, Trotskyist, tanky, Stalinist, whatever shade of freak faggot you are, is this really the kind of person you want to rush to the battlements to defend? Because GOD D A M N L O L
 
I wonder if getting the shit smacked out of her by Low-T is part of Logan’s brand strategy?

She could start with a viral merch push. Imagine T-shirts that say “Getting beaten by Rich “Lowtax“ Kyanka is Something Awful!”
