the real problem with the last of us 1 and 2 is that every faction is named like 'the fireflies' or 'the rattlers' or 'the wolves' or 'da piggies'. how am i supposed to take them seriously when a faction that sounds like a division 2 college football team says they can do neuro surgery and invent a cure for zombies

Tbh most games have this issue with factions and the complaint comes up a bit. Idk what you'd do though. If I was a faction and could come up with my own name I'd definitely go with something like The Bigdogs.

There should be a faction called The Zombies in every zombie game where they otherwise completely avoid using the word to describe actual zombies.

Even the smart humans are really stupid. We'd probably see that sort of naming a lot more often now if there wasn't a bureaucratic body saying you couldn't or shouldn't.

So many different videogame enemies named "Juggernaut", "Leviathan", "Brute", "Heavy", "Predator", "Wraith", etc.

im not sure i understand the disagreement about tlou's ending, some people think they did have a cure (arist?) and other people think they didnt and they were just a bunch of clumsy assholes, like the burglars in home alone (beanpole)? i'm not trying to bring up the argument again, i just legitimately don't know what the beef is. i only ask because i guess it's relevant to what i was going to ask in an earlier post, but i didn't for whatever reason, but: what is tlou3 going to be about? have naughty dog or neil hinted at anything? i suppose they didnt say anything about tlou 2's plot, and that's why people reacted the way they did to leaks

For me, it’s anyone who says they definitely did or didn’t have a cure vs that we’re not meant to know. It’s taking one of my favourite shades of grey endings from any piece of media and trying to make it black and white. Thankfully it is not something I feel strongly about to actually argue over

I think you're supposed to believe they can do it, but whatever, it's not super important to me. However, thinking they absolutely can't do it (an argument fairly often born from misinterpreting or straight-up inventing supporting evidence found nowhere in the game) just turns it from a moral quandary into "good guy kills the bad guys."

Part of faction names being what they are may be because you don' want to bring actual real world stuff/politics/religion into the games. Yeah they ar enot super great, with animal names etc. But what would you call them? The Scientists? The Marauders? Not much better tbh.

i guess i don’t understand why you can’t take factions with dii team names seriously? tons of military subgroups/squadrons/units do this. and…what’s the alternative? some bureaucratic initialism or acronym? numbers? do they make up a word like they’re a new country? hipster band name?

I dunno how you can't relate to Kratos. Do none of you parents also tear villains in half and stomp their heads in while going out with your kid? If not what's wrong with you?

Sony should have just paid the Plays God of War Once guy to make another youtube video. Probably would have been way funnier + cheaper.

Hot take incoming: They should have just invested that 1/3rd of the budget into the actual game or to pay their workers more.

They'd be too seriously looking at the camera saying that's a ridiculous name and then get an arrow in the throat.
