tlou is ass but people like a lot of garbage, including myself. i already know to skip over sony first party cause they aren't making games that i like any longer. not too much point in bitching about it anymore. every first party has their audience and are sticking to making games for that group at this point.

Like this one

[clothedmacuser]

TLOU packaged itself as a stealth game yet if you dodged enemies and snuck through areas you were punished by being under equipped and under experienced.  Normally in a stealth game sneaking is rewarded more than killing every single enemy.  It also took me three hours to realize you aren't supposed to sneak from area to area.  You are supposed to sprint to each encounter and then play the arena.

At the mid-point I realized how much my stealth had hindered me and I just watched people play it on youtube.  It felt the same as actually playing that glorified on-the-rails shooter.

After that I then played Bioshock: Infinity.  Same complaints.  Then I played Splinter Cell: Blacklist.  I was amazed at how much freedom you had.  You could climb that fence!  You could go into that building!  You could actually decide how to approach a location!  Being able to choose how to act was like some vanished technology recently unearthed.

The bolded is the exact kind of dismissive rhetoric that plays into my original post. People don't want to discuss how this particular film's themes are relevant to current society because they think it means someone is coming to take their comic book film away from them.

I wonder why we never saw this level of concern about other movies with psychopathic white protagonists such as Nightcrawler

A sensible filmmaker(like Scorsese) draws clear moral lines in his movies with such characters. The question is, does this movie?

ah yes, sensible filmmakers like Scorsese and....Dan Gilroy?

Reminder that TLOU was a game for ps3, that console with 256mb of ram. I see people mentioning titles that came way later. Sure they never managed to make the buddy AI sneak properly but that's pretty much the only real flaw on a gameplay level, aside from some puzzles that lack the visual richness of the Uncharted setpieces.

It never really marketed itself as a pure stealth (like Splinter Cell) more like a cinematic action game with some stealth elements, but they were always used to circle around enemies as you picked them off one by one, even when they showed gameplay, and usually with a mix of stealth and shooting.
And that works just fine.

TLOU haters are hilarious.

They always read like bitter people.

You are weirdly sensitive about people having differing opinions on video games.

I just think most people that hate on it have read too much Sony ponery on gaf and overcompensate because of it. It's fine if you don't love it but to act like it's an average 3rd person cover shooter is laughable. 

Well I've tried playing the game twice;  not sure what GAF fuckery has to do with the fact I found the gameplay really bad.

I get really annoyed when a game makes me walk or do very little for a long time while the characters talk;  I'm a cut scene skippers who prefers to spend my gaming time, gaming.   I've never met anyone like me who actually liked The Last of Us.

Then why the hell are you playing a story driven game like that in the first place? Not like it was a secret going into the game it was going to have plenty of cutscenes.

[Lonewulfeus]

Yeah and I’d do it again.

But I don’t care about this, I already know how the bore operates.

It’s a Sony game that is very story heavy and people on Ree over praise it. So it must be bad and if you like it you must also be a sony special fellow.

The bore is pretty bad at talking about anything beyond making fun of ree.

Counterpoint: good games are designed for the hardware they are running on. So they should have just ditched it completely or done something differently.

That’s why I think games that haven’t aged well do not exist. mario 64, MGS and Ninja Gaiden are still great games. Goldeneye was always garbage.

Like, Rah, I hate Blacklist because it's action-y, but it has more fucking functional stealth (since that entire level is "if you get an alert, you have to restart over") on it's highest difficulty than the Last of Us. That's not "perfectly OK" for a stealth game, moron.

[Rahxephon91]

I don’t think TLOU is a stealth game. It is an action survival game where stealth is an option and can be used before having to go all out. It’s like Uncharted with more focus on tension combat and item management. Slower paced. And of course it’s going to more scripted. It’s a naughty dog game.

You fucking moron.

I swear that Russia/(UAE?*)Murdoch/Trump's campaign have an abundance of right wing bots/trolls that have come out of the woodwork recently.

Imagine thinking era wasn't borne out of russia.

I will say this though, I have been temporarily banned once on this site for something I felt was a bit egregious. It made me not want to come back, and when I did I just lurked and didn’t post for a long time.

That might drive some center-left away. I consider myself pretty far left, but apparently that one time that mod thought I wasn’t left enough? Maybe banning some of the good people on this site has led to more center-left leaving, and let’s the right/hatred in troll and bounce.

Is the difficulty in TLOU that turns off the Batman detective vision even playable, or is it too hard without it? It seems like that would make the game a lot better.

OMFG, y'all slept on the Joker thread.

They're now arguing that it's irresponsible to release this movie and that it should be "banned media".

Why not both?

It's clear already that even non radical incel communities have latched on to the character as a source of inspiration
(Image removed from quote.)

https://io9.gizmodo.com/u-s-military-issues-warning-to-troops-about-incel-viol-1838412331

The desire behind creating the movie was obviously not to inspire actions it was to tell and provoking story.

That doesn't change the fact it might have unintended consequences.

Releasing something like this in such a climate is irresponsible.

Are you serious? It’s a movie about a fictional character. Are we now censoring works because people cannot handle it? That’s a slippery slope.

Are you serious? It’s a movie about a fictional character. Are we now censoring works because people cannot handle it? That’s a slippery slope.

We already do that. There's a banned list of media for basically every country on the planet

Wait a sec why doesn't this apply to gam-

Okay cool, but maybe you can actually read my post next time? The one comparing it to actual conservative reactions to violent games etc?

No, because video games are not important and it's a stupid false equivalence from any angle.

comic book movies, we've established, are super important high art

At the other side of the forum:

My point was this; Gaming has frequently normalized horrific ideas in the media on the basis that fiction is separate and reality and has no meaningful/scientific bearing on reality (with regards to violence). It's not a stretch in the least bit to see that same community apply those standards set to fictitious pornography and not make any issue of it, especially one that frequently doesn't respond well to people calling out issues with sexualization in video games on the basis of, "It's just fiction/game/not real." It's examining the behavior of people and why this sort of thing can slip through the cracks and be normalized to the point where it doesn't even draw headlines from other communities/websites/etc.

 

Again, great post

[BisMarckie]

The solution here about using the term "Birthing parent" would set a biological standard that I think most can get behind. The problem in the story in the OP isn't hung around the terms used, but on a person's want to move from one box on the page to another. If they were granted their wish it wouldn't solve the issue folks have. The problem here I think comes from the perception and use of birth certs. Some folks do not view it as a historical document and believe it should be updated to reflect a person's current situation. I don't think birth certificates should ever be amended post-fact except in cases of extreme error. Going back to your birth cert and changing your gender or name should not be a thing. But I believe this is an issue about how birth certs are used and for what reason. Birth certs should not reflect your currently chosen identity.
