The Last of Us Part II (PS4, June 19, 2020) Video Game • Page 70

If Abby doesn’t fall a couple times from the sky bridge they aren’t being faithful to my playthrough.

 

It will be interesting in a couple years. Once they release a trailer for S3, and it’s primarily Abby, will the casuals be looking forward to it. I guess we’ll see

 

Yeah, how Pedro fans will react to his killer being the main character for a season will be very interesting.

 

For real

 

Honestly kinda wished they showed Lev at the end but I get why not. We’ll just have to wait

 

have to imagine yara and lev haven't been cast yet

 

Speaking of the changes to Ellie and how she’s a bit softer in the show, I wonder if they are making those changes because they think it will be easy for the audience to agree with her decision of forgiving Abby if they make Ellie less blood thirsty?

I saw the clip that @morgantayler posted in the general show thread and Ellie attacking them with a knife does seem odd to change. The show is rated TV-MA so I don’t think they would alter that just to lower the amount of violence.

 

I would not be surprised to find out that it was a directive from people higher up at HBO. Some of the stuff Craig has been saying just does not make sense with how he has talked about the show/game in the past.

 

Here's the clip btw

 

Zaxlav canceled Batgirl and made Ellie less of a badass bc he hates women

 

Yeah, I remember Craig commenting on Ellie seeing Joel beat the FEDRA officer at the end of S1E1, and being fascinated/enthralled by the violence of it, and saying she had this thirst for it, or something along those lines.
Then cut to season 2 and that just doesn’t seem to be her at all.

 

a tiktoker mentioned ppl are so shocked that tlou is based on a game because it's so deep because they haven't been exposed to games within the past however many years. like, yeah, if all you saw your kids play was mario kart and smash bros (no offense to those games) you would have no idea that longer narrative driven stuff like mass effect and final fantasy have been around for decades

 

Naughty Dog apparently reposted PlayStation’s State of Play announcement (which they haven’t done for others). If anything, it’s likely Intergalactic news, but figured I’d mention it here regardless.

 

Yeah I think I saw it is in a playable state so we might get some game footage

 

Just replayed the Rat King section for the first time since launch. Not gonna lie they absolutely rocked me. I think the dread that sets in once you realize what’s happening honestly does the most damage lol. I was quite scared and panicking running for supplies.



10/10

 

Had to craft pipe bombs on the fly

 

About to start another replay of I and II.. the show has become so underwhelming for me. I honestly don’t see myself coming back for future seasons.

 

Eh this season was a mixed bag but the first season still bangs plus I’m confident s3 will be good

 

yea even thinking this season was a pretty significant fumble I’m getting enough out of the stuff they’ve done well with bringing to life so I’m fine to be in til the end

 

Welp

 

probably for the best

 

Surely fans will be normal about this

 

I don't know how I feel about this and I hope that Craig and Neil are still friends. The season obviously didn't turn out as well received as they'd have liked, but I hope that there isn't bad blood, finger pointing, further arguments etc. There's still plenty of time to learn lessons, and improve the narrative for s3 (for Craig I guess).

I don't know, I still enjoyed S2 but it's tough seeing something that I loved so much, not be liked, and in some corners of the internet, actively hated. For everything that I'm an early off fan off, I only ever want people to see it like I do.

But hey, bring on the Heretic Prophet.
