saw a clip of mario odyssey where mario is in a desert. this is my guess to what it is. do you remember TNG s04e09 when wesley and picard are stranded on a desert planet and wesley finds himself responsible for keeping them both alive with little to no water left? turns out mario is going to have to make a decision about who gets the final bottle lid of water, him or cappy. there will be a flashback of cappy and mario playing in cascade kingdom, the time when they turn into a dinosaur etc, but eventually theyre both completely dehydrated and he has to make the choice, so mario has to kill cappy to save peach. i guarantee this will be the case. and itll be done in a QTE and make you feel bad for doing it. also keep in mind that miyamoto said that none of these reviews could mention important story elements, including that youre going to switch mid-game to play as luigi. even though everyone knows this happens, no reviews can mention it, so all of these reviews are already hamstrung. this is a misery porn simulator, not a game.

Dewgy posted:You’re using your own bad fan fiction as indisputable proof that the game sucks. lol just wait until it turns out I'm exactly right, because the writers rip off MASH. But whatever I added around the situation doesn't change the fact that the actual event of you having to kill a dog that Ellie had a bond with shows up in an unavoidable QTE

Neil Druckmann: You don't have to kill any dogs. Also Neil Druckmann: Haha I lied, you have to kill a dog. PSYCHE! Also, the circumstances of how Joel ends up getting captured and killed have leaked out and... it's really not characteristic for Joel at all based on how he was portrayed in the first game.

Even if you do manage to avoid it, though, there’s eventually a cutscene with a quick-time event that forces you to kill a dog, to hear the animal’s sharp, confused yelp as you smash her skull in with a metal pipe.

This would be fuckin rad, not gonna lie. The first game’s multiplayer had an option to replace enemy names with your Facebook friends and that’s hilarious.

Gotcha

Guys, let's refocus the topic a bit. I know we all feel very strongly about the dogs and stuff but -hear me out- what about the loving horses ?? Who missed those segments from the first game ? The horses control like rear end and add absolutely nothing of value to the game. I propose we petition ND so Ellie murders one of the horses instead of the dog. Seems only fair.

Someone in a thread said that the horses in TLOU have far too long necks and legs, while Tess is like that politician from The Thick of It in that her head is too small. The characters also looked really gaunt in the pre-rendered cinematics.
