The Last of Us Part 2 - New Trailer Contains Spoilers

That’s what’s really upsetting. The game looks like a technical masterpiece. I will play the game for that alone but I refuse to pay a penny to ND because I’m ideologically against the far left route the studio has gone down so although I will play it at some point solely for the technical quality of the game, I’ll be damned if I would contribute a penny to the studio/publisher who thinks it’s okay to force me to pay to be insulted. Will definitely wait until I can buy it preowned.

I don’t think we’ll have to wait long for that.

I feel sorry for Cuckman, his entire vision got f***ed by a real world pandemic and non woke peoples rage.
Honestly, I think it's wrong to say that the fans are entitled to a better story, but this prob won't go down like marvel/ Disney woke and somehow reach groundbreaking sales.... judging by the backlash and the practically non existent defenders, this will flop.
Bet it doesn't. I bet it sells more than TLOU did on PS3. Fake outrage is fake and most saying they wont buy it will buy it.

Sony has had to go full defensive mode with arguably their biggest release this gen.

Sales will most definitely be affected, but you’re right the game will still make a ton of money.
 
I've been wrong countless times in my life, so I'm not a betting man.
I do think it'll "flop" in regards to Sony's expectations though.
Maybe. These games companies often have stupid expectations.

I missed the first part in the spoilers I read.

This is a major, major spoiler but it makes the plot even worse IMO.

Both Joel and Ellie are killed by a transgender character that still looks like a guy. Then apparently you play as that character..?

That's not right, one part is unconfirmed and one is flat out false :) at least from what I've read.

They don't want spoilers in the comments, people were posting them in the AC Valhalla art thing that happened last week for crying out loud, some of these people are going way too far.

There is no way to see that, though. Not in any significant way.

The only way to tell is if it was a big flop and that's not going to happen, supposedly when they announced the new release date pre-orders shot up in a big way. Of course digitally they'd be repeated pre-orders because the original pre-orders were all refunded when the game was delayed. Right now on the US Amazon it's the 7the best selling console game overall (a couple ahead of it are highly discounted) and the 2nd best selling PS4 game after FFVII remake so it's probably going to do pretty well.

It’s true. When talking about a game like this you will never know the impact because it won’t flop. Sales will be impacted though for sure.

It’s a lot like the last Star Wars trilogy that was handled as poorly as possible but the last movie still made over a billion. But you don’t need proof to know it could have made a lot more

IGN’s YT has the trailer and comments are allowed. Not as bad as I thought, but not great. Still more likes than dislikes at least.

Are you sure? The comments of the YT vid and the Twitter responses are filled with

Golf club references, which is apparently the weapon she uses to do it.

Abby kills Joel with a golf club, Abby isn't confirmed to be trans and Ellie isn't killed from what I've read and seen. Unless it's changed the cinematics I have seen prove Ellie isn't dead.
 
I think the trailer on it's own was very well done, it's a great trailer IMO.

Apparently it's the merchandise that got hit bad because no one cares about the characters.

It's a great looking trailer.

Not sure if you've seen a picture of
Abby. Even if they dont go there, it definitely signals trans

Yeah unless the game-play falls off a cliff, no way this game flops. I'd wager it sells at least 2 million to 4 million copies, in its first 30 days.

Oh I've seen, she doesn't have a manly voice at all though so I'm thinking maybe she just took steroids and trained like crazy to go after the man that killed her father. She very well could be trans but there's already another trans character in the game and it would be odd to have 2 in one game, I wouldn't put it past Druckmann but being a gay guy from LA I've never knowingly met 1 trans person and this game that takes place during a time when most of humanity is gone will somehow find a way to hook two up together? Oh well we'll see, I'm not as down on the game as I was last week but I still don't like Joel being dead. I do think maybe we all sympathized with him so much in the last game that we forget he didn't want to take Ellie to begin with and that we know virtually nothing about what he did between the time of his daughters death and the time he meets Ellie.

What was so great about the story from the first game was Joel's unconditional love for Ellie as if she were his daughter. Remember, Joel lost his family during the outbreak.

If the sequel focuses on a story about how important social justice is, I'm not interested.

Just preordered the digital deluxe edition last night. Can't wait to get into this to end this gen. The Last of Us ended the PS3 era with a bang and I'm hoping this will be the same for the PS4 era.
