I remember when I killed the dog in the aquarium. I was like.. Why is his death drawn out? I’ve killed tons of dogs along the way but his death had focus. And then as I went through Abby story, playing fetch with the DOGS and seeing how their training is. Even when Lev and Ram(?) played with the dog that they were afraid of I was like.....
Damn.... I killed a defender and the weight of that kill came swooping in. I really left the game not caring for Ellie’s actions. I was ...
Honestly, there has been little difference between PS4 and Xbone this gen let alone next. With the base systems there has been large differences I noticed in the beginning. As the base Xbones really struggle with frame rates and the S slightly fixes the base issues. But not by much, and I’ve had the X the last 3 months and honestly. It’s not a game changer at all, in comparison to playing games on an Xbone S vs X things like Fallen Order plays a hell of a lot better.
But i...
Crysis legacy is an interesting one. From melting People PCs to would never play on consoles. To playing on ps3 and 360(all 3 games at that), to being ported to new consoles in all its glory and not really aging well for the benchmarker of choice for a decade.
Tells its own story
@Game-Ur yet you saw Tommy slow torture people to death for info on Abby. Ellie confirm Joel and Tommy TAUGHT her those techniques and then she tried it on Mel and Owen.... but you think Joel and Ellie are better?lol
They are all terrible people, but if you are going to hate one side hate the other as well. But, it’s still irrelevant as the characters are in a kill or be killed world. They could justify anything with violence over communication.
But, at ...
How can so many people romanticize Joel and Ellie the way they have? Joel was a fragmented character that we were thrusted into aligning with by being empathetic to watching his daughter die. But, we missed 20 years of Joel doing some shady shit before he met Ellie.
And even in his single most redeeming act from our perspective. He was still being an awful person. There was nothing perfect about these characters, there was nothing even hopeful. The Last of Us 1 ended on a l...
The world they created was filled with people unable to accept loss. They all have been stuck in survival mode for so long theirs no time to grieve properly. Abby and Ellie’s stories were great, I didn’t love either one and I didn’t hate either one. I truly UNDERSTOOD both sides reasoning and even in their showdowns I didn’t want to pick a side.
At the end of it all it’s the burden of the living to carry that of the dead’s. They will forever be tortured by their decisions, ...
You know the point of her and Abby narrative was not about the people along the way. The whole world is screwed up, and the people in it are hateful. People talk about the ending not having a sense of hope. The entire ending is hopeful, it gave self reflection and having to live with your decisions.
The real world isn’t perfect, and people that want more reward to the pay off of their decisions in a game. They more then likely view the world one dimensionally, so they stru...
It’s funny, people are disappointed in Ellie behavior wonder how they would feel if we saw EVERYTHING Joel did between his daughter death and meeting Ellie. If the end of The Last of Us 1 told us anything about Joel it’s that he was 90% a bad guy and 10% likable in saving Ellie.
And Ellie adopted ALL of Joel and Tommy’s behaviors so she’s clearly reflective of the decisions Joel made in the past. But, people seem to have some form of nostalgia for Joel they can’t see how w...
So, if 60k vocal people from Metacritic hated it but 4 million bought it, I’d say it’s healthy to ignore that hate. Because haters gonna hate
That’s called Empathy what you just described, and it’s something that people have for others and scenarios they experience. You can have empathy towards a game, book or movie. But seeing how all forms of media are a reflection of human self awareness. It’s only natural for people to find things that are reflective of themselves.
It’s not a difficult thing to do, and even the reason most people pick an experience is due to some form of a relatable trigger visually there. Mo...
When I stealth killed Sarah on the roof. And they asked her for her report then came looking for her to only find what I had done to her with horror.... I was like... Shit.... I’m not a good person at all....
So far I’m about 6 hours into it down and the subway and I love it so far. I love how these people don’t pretend they are good at all. They are just doing, and I love how things challenge my own empathy.
Seeing the NPCs having conversations with one another before I massacre them really doesn’t sit well with me. I actually hate that I’m killing these people who are unaware of WHY I’m doing what I’m doing.
Yet I can’t also help but want to see Ellie’s rev...
The games only been out for 24 hours and I see a lot of you guys in the comments are just assholes.
The point is a game doesn’t need to “make you believe” when reality has already done it. Sammo Hung is an athletic fat martial artist that pioneered great feats that were thought impossible for people of his stature.
A game is even MORE fantasy which means that there’s no way they could “suspend” belief just because people “think” a cosmetic style is the only way to sell a scenario. It’s not
Sammo Hung...
Oh yeah, because you have Jamaican German and Irish that make you a poster boy huh? You still have no take in this and they changed it. So the person who needs to get over themselves is you.
Art is subjective and it’s value is dictated by the people receiving it. If they donated the game for free as is sure the freedom of expression you are trying to invoke would be unapologetic. But they aren’t, they are running a business and trying to make money.
Erg...
Everything has a point of empathy and product of story telling. If the point of a show is to hit hard at societal norms that are challenging then that’s apart of the story.
This mask/character design is clearly not impactful to the story WHATSOEVER. So, trying to compare the two narrative is clearly not synonymous with one another. If it was a part of the narrative I would agree but it’s not so it can be changed.
Hell since the dawning of American T.V the...
This community of gamers really showed their faces and don’t even realize it. They changed the mask but y’all took it off for real with y’all thought process. It’s ironic how many people are saying this is authentic African Mask wear and google it.
But if you google African Mask the amount of mask with big red lipstick is almost non existent with red lips being even less. And then have the audacity to call others soft, you guys lack any sense of empathy and clearly come fr...
Villanelle, you literally prove the point in your post. If it was a 1% vs the 99% then the sales wouldn’t be effected. So it’s clear that a large portion of their audience and potential buyers who don’t like it are worth changing it then someone who is angry that they did.
You prove that YOU are the 1% if anything by your retort. Again, they have the ability to see first hand how badly the public perception was from the design choice. And clearly it’s not a left vs right t...
I realized the other day that the souls series is just Tenchu without the jumping and stealth. Took me far to long to realize that
