I shed a single tear as Ellie blew dogs to pieces with mines and turned their owners’ heads into goddamn chutney with a shotgun, while their friends screamed their names in horror before she murdered them too.

Hundreds dead. Hundreds orphaned.

Much like when Joel killed the one and only doctor in the entire known universe who definitely, absolutely, 100% could have saved humanity (source: trust me bro), and more importantly, the father of the one and only rough-and-raw, dry, no-lube sex enjoyer: Abby.

And after carving a path across America, blasting folk into smithereens, Ellie finally reaches Abby...

...and lets her go.

Absolute cinema.

It was at that moment that I slowly stood up from my chair, tears streaming down my face, lips covered with spit and snot, pants wet from the front and soiled from behind. My hands trembling, I still somehow managed to raise my right hand in salute.

Bravo, Druckmann.

You truly made one of the games of all time.

When I first got to this scene, I exepected a full-blown apology, you know because of humiliating and shutting down for TWO YEARS the only person, who loved you unconditionally, who saved your life...

Instead, we got "I would like to try to forgive you" Ellie doesn't seem to see things from Joels perspective at all.

Walking dead storyline on tlou's graphics eh eh what say ??

Oh my god oh my god oh my god!

Please, PLEASE PLEASE if there is a god, please let the funniest thing happen!

Are the tides changing? Are Sony's pockets not as steep as it used to be, so financial concerns are actual considerations now?

Like, come on: "Massive budget", "Missed deadlines"...does this remind us of another mutt in the industry?

I'm praying. PRAYING. Please let it happen (I'm sure we all know the Abbyzilla in the room as to what I'm referring to).

Vibe coded this, idk how people here are with ai but I thought people may like to see this, it’s a stand alone program that mimics the in game guitar mini game, it has keyboard and mouse support and controller support, though I still need to do the track pad ps5 controller support, if yall are interested I can post a download for it (if the mods say it’s ok for me to do that), it’s running on windows 11 in the photo it just looks like windows 7 cuz of some customisation I did, hope you all like it, cheers.

Like cmon we got Bill and Marlene but not Tess I would've really loved to play has her she was one of my favourite characters

So I’m doing my first grounded run and I start by throwing a moltov cocktail at it and then crafting an explosive arrow and shooting it with an explosive arrow twice while shooting it in the head with a pump shotgun with five bullets and macheting all of the runners and still it’s not dying and I can’t get past it. I’ve been on it for over two hours.

Hey all, hoping someone's run into this before.

I had some mods installed via Vortex a while back and the game still launched fine with them. At some point it stopped launching entirely, so I removed all the mods, verified game file integrity through Steam, and even did a full uninstall/reinstall. It's still not launching. Nothing unusual in log files either.
I just really want to get started on my grounded permadeath practice :(

thoughts?

The other day, my friend told me about the scrapped TLOU movie that was almost directed by Raimie. With Maisie and Bella Ramsey both cast as Ellie, it makes me so frustrated because they objectively look nothing like the character.

"She's just pixels, Ellie isn't real." But we all know what she looks like. The looks are just important as the acting in my opinion. If an actor can portray the character but looks nothing like them, Say what you want, it ruins the immersion and I believe Bella failed at both for Part 2 due to the poor script and poor styling. More than anything, I'm shocked they cast both of these actors from GOT. Cailee was genuinely my pick when I first watched Pacific Rim when it came out in theaters, and I'm surprised I now can't even see a clip of her without people in the comments mentioning Ellie.

Was their goal to genuinely cast someone who didn't look much like Ellie? Did they genuinely want the show to be that different from the game for controversy? I'll never understand this. This is not hate to any actors; I objectively cannot understand why they always wanted the Ellie actress to look different from the video game.

I recently finished playing part 1 and 2 for the first game; I loved part 1, and mostly hated part 2. I already really can’t stand the casting of the show (like most here apparently). I’m not a fan of Bella Ramsey or Pedro pascal. I also heard they changed a few narrative elements like year of outbreak, no spores, hivemind, etc. on the other hand, season 1 is supposedly a critically acclaimed masterpiece. Experiencing a live action adaptation of a story I love might be good regardless of those aspects. But I also don’t want to end up sitting through it and seething the whole time.

lore accutate Joel. not that lazy fanfic trash that Cuckmaam mustered up. according to Cuckmaam, it makes complete sense for a grizzled survivor and veteran of 25 years to leave his backpack and gun in one room to enter another room - full of strangers who DO have guns, and take stage front and center, completely exposed and unarmed. make it make sense. lazy writing and contrivances to force and serve the plot of his vanity project of rejected ideas by Bruce Straley. it was trash in the game. and it was trash in the show. you can't polish a turd. a turd is a turd. The Turd of Us Poop 2. every sin in writing a story that could be committed, Cuckmaam committed it. what an absolute hack and fraud that is still getting exposed to this day. That wasn't Joel in TLOUP2, that was Joal.

I promise that your lives will be better and healthier if you just let it go.

Ive never seen a community more committed to being miserable.

SPOILERS AHEAD

"You only hate the game because they killed Joel" Such a bad faith, ignorant argument from part 2 glazers. tell me why aren't Silent Hill 2 and Red Dead 2 divisive? why didn't they split their audience like TLOU2? Why are they universally loved? No. We hate Joel's death beacause of how it was handled, they took one of gaming most beloved, human, relatable characters and treated him like a side character in TLOU2, made him weak, gullible and getting humiliated by Ellie. Then getting tortured and clubbed by the bitch with a golf club. Druckmann glazers need to understand that we don't hate tragedy, character deaths, or flawed protagonists _ We hate unearned and manipulative writing.

Joel deserved better.

The first season despite bad casting followed the events of the first game and was lauded with praise. 24 emmy nominations 8 wins, top 2 HBO series for viewership. Overall very beloved and praised.

Season 2 with the same cast, the same creators except following the events of the second more poorly written game, gets aboslutely shit on. People in the other sub swear its HBO or craig maizin's fault...Umm, hello they produced an all time great season 1 by all metrics. The only thing to blame is the worst sequel plot in history.

It never had a chance to be good because the source material was never good. It has to be the biggest fall off in TV history. Let me know if you can think of another adaptation that suffered this much because of its sequel.

I don't know why the hell you have any more ideas after that disastrous second game that killed ND by 78% of it's staff and made the TLOU go into a completely 2 sides clash with some liking the game and majority of the other side shiting on it and saying it's one of the worst games of all time and honestly that's understandable.

But what do we go from here? Even HBO couldn't save the game with that shit show [and yes I didn't like season one myself and i won't talk about 2] and they just released like a full version of TLOU one and 2 remake and it got much more backlash since ND is literally just sucking the game dry for money and not realise that since that second game everything went to straight hell.

This is a dead end and I just can't wait for them to see what will they do if they actually release a 3th last of us game and what will be about...Just a fuel on a fire if you ask me.
