it’s like the ending of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy where the game would connect you to a live chatroom with Bennett Foddy himself so he could congratulate you, except instead Neil Druckmann comes over to your house and bites your fingers off before saying “it looks like now you’re the last of us, too”

Abby:
-Swole AF
-Gets revenge
-Walks away with her best friend
-All fingers intact
-Has hot sex all night in a boat

Ellie:
-Malnurished
-Can't even follow through on the 999th kill
-Abandoned by all she loved
-Insists on playing guitar with 8 fingers
-Gets makeout sesh interrupted after 10 seconds

Ellie finally has an opportunity to fulfill her ultimate revenge after presumably killing hundreds of people over the course of the game, including an injured, fat guy she executes in the prior scene, but she has a momentary flashback to Joel at the last second and decides to spare Abby... after just getting her fingers bitten off. She then returns home to find her gf has left her and she can no longer play the guitar due to her injury.
The amount of people you kill prior to the scene just makes it laughable, maybe it could have worked in a 2 hour movie where Ellie kills 2 or 3 people prior.

Maybe the embargo and all those DMCA takedowns was entirely because Neil didn't want his self-insert sex scene spoiled. Or laughed at.

This is an storyline recourse that i hope it gets killed pretty loving fast. the fact that a character is lgbt doesnt mean that you have a free pass to be a loving sadist about them or with them.

No i think you will find that the greatest self-actualizing transformative experience of all for lgbtq folks is having the incredibly cutting edge experience of being given repeated visceral examples of how much people hate you.

im not trans, but i am gay, and i have a strong feeling that if some game dev team bragged about how they're going to represent gay people in their game, and then the game came out and the gay character was a child that just relentlessly and pointlessly suffers for no loving reason then i would not be very happy with the devs.

and at least us gays have some decent representation, where was the last time the trans folk got something that isn't a joke, a stereotype or "deep" misery porn :[

The only character I can think of off the top of my head is Krem from Dragon Age Inquisition, and then Bioware immediately shits the bed in the next game anyways.

last I can remember was a side character from watch dogs 2, some politician who you do some missions for. it's been a while but I don't think there were any big fuckups with the representation there

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

There's also Janeva from Horizon Zero Dawn, kind of a blink and you'll miss it situation though since he's only a minor NPC.

Like definitely getting major GoT D&D vibes from Neil. They did a few things right by accident and now their egos are showing this basic thing presented as this ground breaking idea that people haven't been exposed to. But they have been exposed to the idea and it's been done better so it just comes off as babies first artistic themes.

ErrEff posted:

I'd honestly have less of a problem if he didn't abuse his characters in such a basic and how to write 101 manner. Like the dialogue is awful.

oh you're right, I remember Krem. He was good and I like that if you try being a poo poo to him it pisses off Bull and his crew.

i have almost no hope for Bioware after Anthem, but man I hope that by some miracle the next dragon age game will be at least on Inquisition's level (ideally with less MMO world design tho)

tbh the thing I'm really taking away from all of this is it must suck to be druckmann if this game is unfiltered druckmann. imagine being the person who wrote this much misery and thinking they're making a point about anything other than "human beings suck and then we all die, there is nothing good and we might as well torture some animals/each other on the way down"

It was Andromeda that killed my hope, at least of decent LGBT characters, because every LGBT character was handled poorly at best. Though I would love to see DA4 and have it be good but...
