Now the story... well the VA is quite good (though Vesperia will always be my favorite game with Troy Baker starring), but the actual conceit is - take a lot of post-apocalyptic/zombie tropes and throw them in the blender... The Road. Walking Dead. Children of Men. Life After People. Even games like Half Life 2, MGS and Ico. Apart from the plot twist (which I didn't particularly care for) at the end, it was pretty predictable.

I said the same thing at launch and there were plenty of people saying the same thing. Fast forward two weeks later and I got threatened with a ban because I said the same thing. I promise it wasn't even inflammatory. Something along the lines of "It's a decent story, but nothing we haven't seen from post-apocalyptic fiction before." That was borderline trollling, apparently. The cult grew up fast around it. I even love the game, gave the remaster something like 9/10 in my official review. As somebody else said, if you're not calling it "the best game ever" then the rapid fans will throw a shitfit. It's got a great story...for a game. It basically took other works and mashed them together. It's The Road meets every single "tough man must protect innocent youth" ever made. Neat....for a game. But hardly this world shattering event.

TLOU felt like the result of a pre-production process that was entirely made up of competitor example/inspiration decks.

"We have the Uncharted engine. We know we're going post-apocalyptic. Here are some ideas that are really hot right now that we could play with."

At least I hope nobody is bland enough to have put that game out as an original idea.

So a forced life and possible hardships for 2 people is the better choice? That's what you are saying right?

Everyone needs to take a chill pill and read my initial posts.

I said either parent should be able to say no.

So many people praising Jezebel in that thread....it's a bunch of people trying and failing to copy Amanda Marcotte's style, and Amanda Marcotte regularly writes paragraph long run-on sentences that have no subject.

And the rest is just regular Gawker content.

Rekt. How many Nintards are claiming they got PTSD after reading this post?

Also Gawker sucks ass. It's the Weekly World News in clickbait form.

Also, the 1000 year old demon thing has been around for a while. I've seen it being used (unironically) at least a decade ago, which I think is around the time when Japan decided that all anime required lolis with giant hooters. The thought process is that they obviously weren't little girls or else they wouldn't have G cup tits but they were really ancient mystical figures instead. It's only been used ironically a couple of years ago because animunerds kept using that excuse unironically and it's ridiculous.

TotalBiscuit is a dork and "The Framerate Police" is pretty cringe worthy but it's good to know what games have a framerate lock and what games don't as some are just irritating to play at 30FPS (Any racing game on PC with a framerate lock is dead to me).

Yes. GAF Shouta. He went to Evo to play P4Ulitmax. Professor Beef of GAF went to play Smash (and I think Street Fighter? IDK, I think Marvel as well?) a few other GAF people went IIRC but those two I know are there.
